Hi, My problem is just that. I have a new install of Debian becuase I wanted to go back to 32 bit and I compiled a new kernel to enable some things (High Memory to be specific) and this is the message I get. I dont do a lot of kernel hacking and only compile a different one from stock unless I have to and this task I have done many times before on the same system and same hard drive / partition setup without problems. I looked into the message but this seems to be an issue with many different problems/results. I dont have a lot of experience with the linux kernel itself so I am not able to give much information off the top of my head. here is my grub list.

Hi , total newbie here. How can I setup ip number and default gateway for my Lenny laptop wireless card? Drivers are installed and the card is working, I know this because I used it for another wifi network, To the other wifi network I connect without problems but for the new one, I cant. The wireless icon on the panel shows that I am connected to the wanted network but I don't have access to the internet nor can I ping the wireless router. Thanks. | Uhh, how stupid mistake.

Hi I am setting up a virtual machine with vmware to use it a a web server. This virtual machine will be used in different environments and the IP address may change each time. I have searched during a long time but don't find what I want. I would like to "print" the IP address of eth0 before the login prompt. Like this I don't need to login each time as root to see it with ifconfig . If someone have a suggestion Thanks in advance for your help ericc | I am not sure if you can and how to print the ip address before the login but after you login as a user you could see it with /sbin/ifconfig. ifconfig is not in the path of a user therefore you can not issue the command. |
For my laptop I have a Linksys WPC54G wifi card. I downloaded Ndisgtk to make it easier to install. However I'm stuck on how to install it.

Hi, I'm setting up my Toshiba Laptop to use as a slim system, running Debian Lenny. I've installed the base system and the laptop files from the CD. Booting up, the system detects my wireless card with a rt2500 chipset nicely. I've edited the /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf to what previously have been functionally configurations. The card is detected and it detects the network. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and the computers own IP. I can ping the other two computers on the network as well as the router. I can not ping my external IP nor can I ping any other external IP. Now, to me, this suggest that all drivers are up and running and but that there is some configuration issue. I've been reading man pages, googeling and reading forum posts and howto's for a couple of days now, trying to get on top of this but without any success at all. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks mojoman | Does ifup show any problems? |

Well, when I installed, the regular user I made (for my brother) worked fine with automounting and all that stuff in KDE and Gnome, but then I made a new user using the 'adduser' command, and everything seems fine, but KDE gives this error when I try to mount, unmount, anything like that: GNome has problems too, but I prefer to use KDE so that doesn't make much of a difference. What looks like is happening is that I don't have the permissions to do that stuff, butI don't know how to give myself the permissions...Thanks EDIT: Solved it, just used the Gnome "Users and Groups" control panel and check all the boxes to give me permissions for everything. Wish it was easier to do from KDE though, I didn't see a way from kcontrol... | Permission of everything? Wow... Anyway, in KDE: Kmenu --> System --> KUser user management. |
I`m having troubles with my locales. I want my debian system to use the bg_BG.UTF-8 locale (that means that it will be translated in Bulgarian with default locale bg_BG.UTF-8). However i had to reinstall my debian system and now i cannot set the language to bulgarian. I chose the bulgarian during the install process and indeed after i installed debian everything was transleted in bulgarian with the bg_BG.UTF-8 locale. However after i installed localepurge (which has never before caused me problems) my system turned to english. I am sure i did not purge the bg_BG.UTF-8 locale yet i cannot set my system to use it. I read this article for help: http://wiki.debian.org/Locales I have the bulgarian locales in /etc/locale.gen and i generated them. Also here is how my /etc/profile looks: debian:/home/hellfire# cat /etc/profile # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1)) # and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...). if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" else PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games" fi if [ "$PS1" ]; then if [ "$BASH" ]; then PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' else if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PS1='# ' else PS1='$ ' fi fi fi export PATH umask 022 export LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=bg_BG.UTF-8 export LC_CTYPE=bg_BG.UTF-8 I also tried dpkg-reconfigure locales and removed (--purge) localepurge. Still i cannot make my system use the bulgarian locale. For now only packages that have separate localization package (like iceweasel and openoffice.org) are translated into bulgarian. | hellfire[bg] wrote:I also tried dpkg-reconfigure locales and removed (--purge) localepurge. Removing localepurge with the "--purge" option seems like the right thing to do if localepurge causes you troubles. Perhaps you should also reinstall the "locales" package to make sure that you have all the locales in your system. Then you can try "dpkg-reconfigure locales" again to see if that fixes your problem. A reboot may also be needed. Apt-get seems to have a "--reinstall" option (apparently something like "apt-get --reinstall install locales"). In aptitude the equivalent command would be "aptitude reinstall locales". |
Hi, I've just bought a new motherboard, Asus m2n-sli, together with a new antec case. I've put in my other old stuff and re-installed Debian Lenny 64-bit. Everything is up and running exept sound.

This might be too technical for this forum, but I'm not sure where else to ask. I've been tinkering with this thing for hours, trying all the documentation I can find in /usr/share/doc and on Google. More to the point, I can't get exim4 to take my SSL certificate. When I attempt to create a SMTP TLS connection using my mail client, the connection fails with the following error in /var/log/exim4/mainlog Code: Select all2008-06-03 08:27:35 TLS error on connection from me.at.home.com ([1.2.3.4]) [5.6.7.8] (cert/key setup: cert=/etc/ssl/certs/server.pem key=/etc/ssl/private/server.key): Error while reading file. Needless to say, "error while reading file" isn't a useful diagnostic message. I've double checked the files, and they are there. I thought it might be a permission issue, so I tried temporarily relaxing the file permissions. I thought it might be their location, so I tried moving them around and updating the exim4 configuration appropriately. I tried turning on exim's debug messages. Nothing fixed or shed more light on this problem. The certificate is signed by GoDaddy, and I have the intermediate certificate bundle in server.pem. The same set of keys works flawlessly with openssl and dovecot on the same box. Anyway, I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate any help. | After sleeping on the problem, I decided to try the snakeoil certs generated by /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert and they worked perfectly.

Ever since i saw Fedora 8 i was very impressed with its artwork. I managed to install the nodoka gtk theme, the infinity grub splash image, the infinity gdm theme and the echo icon theme.

Hi to all, I need to redirect my client computer from IP address(Local) to FQN(Local), internally, within the scope of my internal network only. In Win there use to be etc host file. Anybody know where I can find similar feature on Debian? Or let me explain in this way. I have SharePoint Services on internal IP address with internal name tesla.

I want to hook another computer onto my network and connect it to the fileserver through NFS.

Code: Select all# mount -a -t nfs mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered mount.nfs: internal error I take it the problem is indeed in the client, as the fileserver is chugging along nicely like always. I also checked /etc/exports but the new entries are copied from the old and then tweaked, so they ought to be correct. The server is running etch and the new client is running Lenny. Any help would be muchley appreciated! | I forgot to add the new host in /etc/hosts.allow in the server. |

Error: Could not connect to server i dont know what is wrong. and file manager dosent work ether.. | Response: 530 Login incorrect. Well, it says that the login is incorrect, so you'll have to create some ftp logins. What's the ftp daemon you are using? Some daemons just use the Debian system logins as default where some daemons doesn't. Most likely you'll have to create some ftp logins or configure it to use the system logins. EDIT: It seems like you are using ProFTPD, which should by default use the system logins. But I don't think you are allowed to login as root.

Hi all... I have a router box running lenny (just updated) and I can use amsn and netbanking on ff ok, but none of the ms boxes behind it can. All other services work fine on them, even secure connections. My setup is a basic iptables firewall, which has served me well for a couple of months.. and a second nic and switch for the local boxes. Problems started when I upgraded m/b and did a reinstall. Before that, all was fine. The only things that carried over from the last install were config files. Any ideas???? | ok.... mtu was too big in /etc/networking/interfaces for eth0: Code: Select allmtu 1452 and /etc/ppp/providers/provider: Code: Select allmtu 1452 and thanks to mikey79 for this snippet of code for the iptables script: Code: Code: Select alliptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu now everything works nicely again... still befuddles me why a hardware change would cause such a problem, though. With a lot of testing, I discovered that the mtu setting for ppp0 had to be equal to or greater than that of eth0... the basic troubleshooting routine seems to be to keep decreasing the values of both until things work again, though eth1 which has the ppp0 connection on it needs to be left at mtu of 1500. |

Hi I have just installed 2.6.24 kernel ... Linux dellsrv 2.6.24 #2 SMP hardware seems recognized and working. but, I can't find inside the module CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT what can I do ? | I'm not quite sure what you mean by "I can't find inside". You can check whether the kernel includes that item this way: grep IP_NF_NAT /boot/config-$(uname -r) You can see what modules you have installed with "lsmod" and you can use "modprobe -l | grep nat" to check for available modules that aren't loaded yet. (Then you could do, for example, "modprobe ip_nat" to load that module if it wasn't yet loaded.) If you want to automatically load a module at boot, add it's name to /etc/modules. Hope this helps. |

Hello I did the following comand: Code: Select alliwconfig wlan0 Heygate36 Heygate is the name of my network. It has WPA (I think - it hasASCII code) protection.

Hello, I'm testing a video surveillance system (www.zoneminder.com) running on debian etch server (further called camserver) To separate traffic generated by the ip-cameras from the regular lan, I thought it best putting the cameras in their own subnet. regular lan <--> router1 <--> camserver <--> router2 <--> cameras the regular lan : 192.168.54.xxx the camera lan: 192.168.154.xxx camserver ip1: 192.168.54.12 & 192.168.154.12 router1 provides also internet access router2 serves only as switch and wireless AP for the cameras. the setup works fine, the camserver serves images to the regular lan via webpage.

Hi. First time I write here after getting this forum on most google searches I did, and totally newbie with Linux. Having problems with iwlwifi. After a basic Etch installation I did apt-cdrom add for all 4 DVDs, since I do not have net access, copied kernel 2.6.24-4 in usr/src and recompiled with make oldconfig.

Hi all, It's my first post on theses forums, I hope I'm on the right thread, if not I'm sorry. Here is my problem : I'm trying to compile and install an old version (r1417, 28.01.2006) of the Madwifi wireless module (for Atheros chipset). It's an old version because I need it for a very particular task, whatever... I'm using Debian etch, with kernel 2.4.27-2-386. When I run the Code: Select allmake, all seems to be ok (except 3 or 4 warnings) and it compiles without error. But when I run Code: Select allmake install, the result is always : Code: Select allmake: 'install' is up to date. And of course when I try to load the module with Code: Select allmodprobe ath_pci it gives me : Code: Select allmodprobe: Can't locate module ath_pci. I was wondering if someone has an idea of where the problem could be... (apparently not in the compilation) I also mention that before I tried to install this old version, the newer 0.9.4 version of madwifi was installed (and working). I removed it using the scripts provided with this version (It seems to have worked but maybe it did not. I don't know exactly how to check it.) Here is the exact make install command I run : Code: Select allmake install CC=gcc-3.3 GCC=gcc-3.3 TARGET="i386-elf" KERNELPATH=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386 MODULEPATH=/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/net DESTDIR=/tmp/madwifi Thank you very much for your help! | just a thought...are you running the make command as root? |
Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to my linux machine from inside my network using ssh although strangely I can connect to it from outside my network. I am also having a problem connecting to my apache server from outside my network. I tried iptables -F, and when I nmap localhost all these ports are open: Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2008-03-04 14:32 EST Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Not shown: 1668 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 53/tcp open domain 80/tcp open http 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 631/tcp open ipp 930/tcp open unknown 953/tcp open rndc 3306/tcp open mysql Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.113 seconds If I nmap from another computer on my network, it shows all the ports as closed. I think that this is to root of my problem, but can't figure out what else might be closing my ports. My router(WRT150N by linksys) is set up for port forwarding, and that seems to be working because when I go outside my network I can ssh into my debian box. Seemingly related, I can view my apache webpage on my linux machine, but not on another machine in or outside of my network. Your help figuring this out is appreciated. I think it might be the result of a setting conflict but have no idea what that might be.

Greetings everyone, I plan on switching to Debian from Ubuntu and I have some questions. I can't decide between ReiserFS and ext3 as my filesystem. I have a phenom9600, 4gb ram and here's the problem; 14 HDD's. (not RAID'ed) I heard that reiser is faster but also more prone to data failures; true? The files stored on these drives are usually about ~100mb each. My second question; I'd like to "combine" my 14 HDD's into one folder/drive (just for the GUI, not an actual RAID) like a virtual Raid 0, is this possible somehow? | In answer to your first question, I've always thought that if the benefits of one filesystem type over another were great enough to notice, then there would not be any debate over which was best. So use what's easy for you. On the other question, have you considered using LVM? And why are you so against a RAID solution? Just google 'linux LVM RAID' for loads of articles on the topic. Without combining the disks into a RAID array or LVM device, I think the best that you are going to achieve is to mount each of the disks in the same directory, so they would present (in a GUI for example) as 14 folders in the same place. |
I just finished setting up a new system. Because there will be several users, I decided to copy the configuration files from one home directory to another and then use chown, so that they would all have the same configuration. In the process, I made a mistake and chown'ed the root directory to a normal user. I have successfully chown'ed everything back, but I can no longer use su. Note: I have NOT lost the root password. (In fact, if I do a "console login" I can login as root). The problem is that I cannot "switch users" in a terminal. In other words, cannot use su to become root or to become another normal user. I always get an "authentication failure" message, even if I type the correct passwords. (Changing the passwords doesn't help either. I tried.) Any suggestions? Code: Select alleric@debian:~$ su Password: su: Authentication failure Sorry. eric@debian:~$ eric@debian:~$ su other_user Password: su: Authentication failure Sorry. eric@debian:~$ . | I think, although I am not certain, the package that provides the "su" functionality is "sudo".

hi everybody i'm trying to set up a basic debian installation. i've been quite successful so far. however, one of the things that keeps bugging me is that i have to set up the correct screen resolution manually (in xorg.conf) each time i reinstall the system for tests. the point is that a full installation of debian boots up with all the possible resolutions already available. therefore, i wonder what package of the full installation does this? i ran the commands xresprobe and ddcprobe but they don't seem to give me what i am looking for. does anybody know the package for this? thanks a lot in advance, best regards, crowhill. | dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and/or/maybe Xorg -configure might also be sure to have discover installed... |

Hi, I've been trying to get my network up and running under Debian 40r3 with kernel 2.6.18-6-686 (and later also with 2.6.22-3-k7 from the testing branch after dist-upgrade). I'm running Debian on my Averatec notebook with an AMD XP-M 2200. Debian was freshly installed. My NIC's (according to lspci) are: - integrated Via Rhine-II (VT6102 rev 74) ethernet adapter - integrated RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) - WLAN USB-Stick with zd1211b chip using the zd1211rw driver When I plug in the ethernet cable and try to activate the wired networking under System -> Network the computer hangs with blinking led's, only turning off and restarting helps. When I try to activate a connection manually (with ifconfig eth0 up and dhclient eth0) it doesn't get an IP address from the DHCP-server. When I try to establish a connection with the integrated rt2500 device (I built and installed the module with module-assistant) the system also hangs up when I type "ifconfig eth2 up" (or "ifconfig ra0 up" with the older kernel). Oddly enough, the USB-WLAN-stick works without any problems. I just had to get the firmware files. I can establish an close connections without any problems. I also tried to add "noapic" and "nolapic" and even "acpi=off" to the boot parameters; no change. The most annoying fact is that all three adapters worked perfectly well under Mandriva 2008 on the very same notebook. There never was a problem, so the hardware must be ok. I'd love to get back to using Debian but without networking I can't. I've been searching this and other forums but I couldn't find a solution yet, I'd be glad if anyone could help. Thanks in advance!! ---> UPDATE: I forgot to say that I installed Debian over the internet using exactly the same Via Rhine-II adapter. There was no problem with wired networking during the installation. Rob | Install "rutilt" ... Use it to scan and try connecting from there. Network manager is a joke. Better to avoid using that. |
Hello I did something yesterday to my system and now whenever I turn my computer on (in Debian) Epiphany and the termial start automatically.

hi there i just removed the useless windows operating system from my new dell machine in my office. unfortunately, i forgot to check the screen resolution parameters before i did it. now, i have a much worse screen resolution. in fact, i get only 1280x1024 and it seems to me that in windows i got a much better resolution by moving the screen resolution button in some settings menu up to the maximum. it is confusing to read online that the maximum resolution is indeed 1280x1024, which seems to contradict that i got a "better-feeling" resolution in windows. here my xorg.conf # xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Section "Files" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation Integrated Graphics Controller" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DELL E178FP" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Intel Corporation Integrated Graphics Controller" Monitor "DELL E178FP" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet # InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" # InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" # InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection some ideas on this would be really appreciated ... by the way, i tried to add "1680x1050" as an example or test but it didn't make a difference. thanks a lot in advance, cheers, crowhill. | crowhill, the Dell E178FP/E198FP user guide says 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz But my guess is that you never adjusted your fonts for flat panel?

OS: Debian Lenny Hello, I've been using kbd-config for binding my event device's (a remote controller) buttons to keyboard commands. However because of lately done update, the precious software has been removed and is now a wrapper for 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' The only problem seems to be that it doesn't even seem to be able to configure my event device (choose custom bindings). It is only designed to map the keyboard not a random event device. Question is: How can I either use that command to bind custom bindings (a button by button) to my event device or use alternative software to do the same job as kdb-config did. The command I've been using to configure my remote controller was: Code: Select all kdb-config -f /path/to/config/file_with_bindings /dev/input/event0 | Update: I manage to get most of my remote buttons to work by using Xev and Xmodmap. Xev is to identify keycode of buttons and Xmodmap binds to buttons to keyboard commands. Here is my config: Code: Select allkeycode 110 = p keycode 152 = Right keycode 233 = Left keycode 179 = p keycode 232 = p keycode 177 = R keycode 209 = Escape keycode 174 = F10 keycode 176 = F11 keycode 160 = F9 keycode 222 = F11 However there are 12 buttons that I didn't manage to get regonized with xev. I guessed evrouter would have helped but it doesn't send keyboard commands to X. Here is my evrouterrc Code: Select allWindow "": # Window title # Window "mythfrontend": # Resource name # Window "Mythfrontend": # Class name "Budget-CI dvb ir receiver saa7146 (0)" "/dev/input/event0" none key/352 "XKey/KP_Enter" With evrouter -d all buttons work.[/code] |

I'm using Etch with KDE only (installed from the Etch KDE-only CD #1). I'm using NTP to synchronize my desktop to online time servers. Everything works the way it's supposed to work.... EXCEPT that NTP doesn't synchronize at all, even if I wait 20 minutes after reboting: Code: Select alldebian:/home/computerbob# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== calimero.linoco .INIT. 16 - - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 tick.mtnlion.co .INIT. 16 - - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 c-76-97-247-182 .INIT. 16 - - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 time-at.stsn.ne .INIT. 16 - - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 64.25.87.54 .INIT. 16 - - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 UNTIL I manually restart the NTP service: Code: Select alldebian:/home/computerbob# service ntp restart Stopping NTP server: ntpd. Starting NTP server: ntpd. then NTP works fine, and starts reporting sync times almost immediately: Code: Select alldebian:/home/computerbob# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== calimero.linoco 128.227.205.3 2 u 43 64 1 61.884 -519.32 0.001 tick.mtnlion.co 129.6.15.29 2 u 42 64 1 59.807 -519.78 0.001 c-76-97-247-182 128.59.39.48 2 u 41 64 1 58.621 -514.32 0.001 time-at.stsn.ne 192.5.41.40 2 u 40 64 1 48.916 -515.56 0.001 rrcs-64-183-55- .GPS. 1 u 39 64 1 123.337 -518.11 0.001 But the next time I reboot, NTP doesn't work again until I manually restart the NTP service again. I would suspect that maybe ntp isn't automatically starting on boot, except that sysvconfig shows that ntp is selected to be a startup service, and the service ntp restart command reports that it is successfully stopping and then starting ntpd. So apparently, NTP is running on boot, but for some reason it's not connecting to any time servers until I manually restart it after each reboot. I've Googled everything I can think of, but I can't find anything that addresses this problem. ????? UPDATE: Time synchronization doesn't work even if I wait overnight after rebooting, but it works immediately if I manually restart the NTP service. | Write a shell script and make it to be executed at or before kde startup. |
After pulling 1 of 3 hd's in a working raid 5 array, I added the drive back into the array and it automatically rebuilt. On reboot, the added drive was no longer part of the array and curiously the /dev node isn't there. I copied the partition information onto the replacement drive using sfdisk as well as manually, so there doesn't seem much chance for a size or type mismatch. Touching the partition with fdisk/parted brings the /dev entry back, and it can then be readded to the array, where it will list/work normally. The drive node is there, but not the partition node (eg - /dev/hdc but not /dev/hdc1). I suppose using mknod might have the same effect. The pulled HD was repartitioned and temporarily used in a Windows system as a boot disk. I also did the 'erasing the first 512k using dd' bit before adding it with no change. The array is a software persistent superblock array on an Intel architecture machine using a somewhat minimal Debian 4.0 install, and the partitions are set up as 0xfd raid-autodetect. If you need more particulars on my hardware etc, please ask. I checked the BIOS settings and drive jumpers to verify nothing changed and the settings were valid. The cable looks fine, and the other drive on the same cable operates normally. Using mdadm to query the drive (/dev/hdc as opposed to the array /dev/md0) after it failed to be included and it's listed as a spare for the array. Using mdadm to query the array shows /dev/hdc1 as "removed". The array currently comes up using autodetect using the other two available drives, showing the status as "clean, degraded". Looking at the sytem messages log doesn't turn up anything that seems useful, though mdadm does try to use the drive (but not the partition - unlike the other 2 drives). FWIW, I'm not booting off the RAID - a seperate non-RAID hd holds the os. I've read the How-To on adding disks/maintenance, but it doesn't seem to cover this. ("It just works!") Not sure if the /dev disappearance is being caused by the raid software not liking something, say with the persistent superblock, or if this is an issue between that drive and the OS. Any assistance greatly appreciated! | This was solved by zeroing the drive, then re-adding the drive to the array. I zeroed the drive using Derik's Boot And Nuke (SourceForge) utility, carefully unplugging all other hd's before wiping. Afterwards, re-adding caused the usual resync operation. Then rebooting had no effect - the array was autodetected on boot as before. The clue was that wiping the drive, then using mdadm to examine that particular drive (/dev/hdc), still turned up a 'raid spare' listing. Yay! |
I've been running Etch on my home server for a while now, and have now switched my desktop from Ubuntu to Lenny. Nearly everything has gone beautifully, and the system definitely feels slightly more responsive now than it did. The one big problem I've encountered so far is with Virtualbox. When I tried to boot a newly created VM, it told me I didn't have the kernel module. Searching for it in APT didn't provide anything, but using the Debian package search in Iceweasel pointed me to the fact that Debian seems to have no VBox module for the 64-bit architecture, either in Lenny or in Sid. So, the question is: what's the best way to approach this? I imagine that I could compile it myself, or possibly even use the Ubuntu 7.10 package. But, is there a third-party repo that has a Debian binary for this? Any other possible fixes? It also crossed my mind to install a 32-bit module and force the architecture, but this seems much more risky than installing a 32-bit app in this way. Any help is appreciated. | deb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian etch non-free |
I have an aggravating problem I need help with: my university uses Cisco's Clean Access Agent (CCA) to manage network connections - i.e. validate the user has permission to connect to the network. To connect from a laptop, you must first connect to the wireless network via ESSID + HEX key (no problem), and then log into the network using your username and password before you can actually use the internet. From Windows, this is done by way of CCA, and on Mac's and Linux PC's, you should just be able to enter your username and PW from a login screen that opens from a browser window. The problem is, whenever I enter my username and PW from Firefox/Konqueror in Kubuntu, I'm redirected to a page explaining my university uses CCA ... and that I need to download and install it before I can connect to the network. CCA is strictly Window$ based, and doesn't work in Linux (I unsuccessfully attempted using Wine, not really expecting it to work). I found this thread explaining how to modify my /etc/nsswitch.conf file to connect to the network, but still cannot get it to work. The Help Desk at my university is unfamiliar with Linux, so if anybody has experience on the subject, please help; I'd really like to switch entirely to Kubuntu, and this is the only problem holding me back. Edit: Maybe I should explain why I'm posting here - since Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian, I figured somebody on this forum might be able to shed a little light on my situation. | There's been a thread on this before, to which I added the comment that some Cisco Java apps won't work in anything other than Internet Explorer. IE not being an option for Linux.. (and not being a sensible option on Windows either, from a security perspective!) that could be a problem. |
I compiled a RT2500 wireless module for the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel and now have the 2.6.18-6-686 kernel installed, do I build a new module? Any shortcuts or gotchas? I just wanted to get some feedback so I don't get myself in trouble. | Just make sure you have the required headers. Assuming you use module-assistant, when you run it as root, it should pull in the required header or source, assuming you have a stock kernel |
Hi all! I've just installed the debian 160MB CD onto my computer, on a spare partition, and hoping to change over to Linux soon. The learning curve is quite steep, mainly because I have to go right into technical stuff without knowing what to do!. My background is windows, and RISC OS (the ARM OS), and I have programmed ARM code 3d engines etc - so I do have the ability to learn. Now that I have the base install, I can boot into it, and log in (i'm logging in as root at the moment as I'm setting it up). My questions are : (1) How do I set up my wireless network? I don't seem to be able to access my wired network (I only have a wireless box, but the RJ45 sockets on the back seem to not work, even in windows). I have looked around, and can say that I don't have the iwlist, lspci, uname-r commands. Any files I download, I would need to download via windows (which is what I'm using to type this). My Card is an 'Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG' card (built into the laptop, as a mini-PCI card), and I already have a file called 'ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz' (currently stranded on my windows desktop). (2) How do I mount my USB memory stick? when I plug it in, it seems to be recognising it. I edited fstab to include /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 And then it seems to be saying that it puts it into /dev/sde from the messages that appear when I plug it in. So I changed fstab to /dev/sde /mnt/usb auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 ... and now it seems to be putting it into /dev/sda1 when I plug it in. Also it asks me for the filesystem type for some reason. (I want to use USB to move files from Windows to Debian, until I can get wireless working, then I can install direct) I know these are newbie questions, and I know I could probably go and get an ubuntu CD, but, I really want to try to get this debian set up to replace win XP! My computer is : Clevo D87P (Rock Quaddra Ti) (A very powerful laptop from 2004, now 'quite good' still). My current install is : 160MB base install, unmodified, on a 15GB partition. Thanks for any help | Just found this: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tou ... Tools.html Still can't install them (don't know how to mount the USB) But a step in the right direction I suppose |

I am running Debian Lenny on my main laptop, which connects to the network/internet through its wireless card. I have another laptop next to it which doesn't have a wireless card, and so can't connect to the network/internet. Currently both are set up to use DHCP, but i can change this. I want the first laptop to be able to share its internet connection with the second laptop through its ethernet cable, but i have no idea how to do this. I've tried searching google, but have found nothing (probably just using the wrong search terms) so, i was wondering if anyone could explain how it was done, or just point me in the right direction to look for answers. | get some hints here |
hy. I'm using Linux for a long time but I'm new to debian. I've done some updateing last friday (not shure what ) and now my laptop won't boot. Maybe you could help me? When I boot I get a lot of errors from the rc-scripts when I login I see why: The root-FS is still being mounted RO! Why? I've changed the RO Parameter in my grub-kernel cmdline to RW and now this works but when I login I don't have my other partitions mounted which are all listed correctly in /etc/fstab. So if I do a "mount -a" it does mount all the stuff so I think the file is correct ! (made by the installer). But why doesn't it mount them all on bootup? Thanks for any hints - feeling like a noob at the moment | Post the usual stuff, please. kernel, release, boot method, update path, specific error messages etc.. |
Hi, I am a new Debian user, but not a new Linux user. As such, I use SSH to access my machine(s) frequently. After I installed Debian (Lenny), I tried to SSH to my machine, but the connection was refused. My prior experience with Linux has been with Fedora. In Fedora I was able to use a gui tool to allow services of my choosing (ssh, samba, other random ports, etc). Would someone be able (and willing) to tell me what I need to do to allow incoming SSH connections to my machine? I have spent a decent amount of time searching the forum and just haven't found out how to do this, yet. Thanks in advance for your help, everyone. | I think that by default, Debian has an ssh client (to connect to other machines), but not an ssh server daemon (to receive incoming connections). If you install ssh by doing "apt-get install ssh" or "aptitude install ssh", that should install and start the server daemon for you. (You can also use Synaptic, if you prefer a gui tool to install software.) |
I'm having a bizarre problem. I have installed the Nvidia driver (the shell script from Nvidia) two times. One on my 'test partition' and on my SO's system. BUT: When I try to do it on my normal partition, which should be identical to the other two, it fails claiming the kernel headers do not exist. Even when I give the absolute path it fails with the same error. This is with kernel 2.6.22-3-686. It works with 2.6.22-3-k7-686 and 2.6.22-1-686. I have purged the -22-3 kernel and headers and deleted the leftovers in /lib/modules. However, when I reinstall it it still don't work! Is there anyone that have any idea what so ever why the install script is unable to find the kernel headers on that specific kernel? Is there some environmental variable or something that does not go sway when I purge the kernel/ headers, delete the module directory and the symlink in /usr/src? I need to use the 22-3 because there are no driver for my wireless for 22-1 and with k7 my sound does not work. Ok, I know this sounds confusing... I'm not sure how to explain it all. Feel free to ask clarifying questions if you feel like helping me dig out this gremlin Tina | Yes, I'm absolute sure of that and I have tried the module-assistant way... I'm stumped. |
Ok it seams that apache2-common was replaced with apache2.2-common apache2-utils which had the apache2-ssl-certificate for creating the certificates. However that is no longer there. Did it get moved to another package? | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=398520 : Use make-ssl-cert from package ssl-cert, e.g.: # mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl # /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem Apparently by default it only makes certs valid for 30 days, so you'd have to use some option to change that I assume. |

Hello everybody At the moment, I'm trying to get a Debian system working that is as simple as possible. To do so, I'm using the Netinst CD. Regarding the most important tasks, I succeded to get the wireless working and to install a Java-Runtime-Environment and the Adobe-Flashplayer. However, there are, basically, three things I have no clue about and that I could use some help. 1. I installed gxine and libdvdcss but if I stick a DVD in my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop nothing happens (except for the appearance of an icon on the desktop). I have to open gxine and go to File -> DVD to get to see the DVD. Is there a way to tell gxine or Debian to automatically start DVD's in gxine? I tried right-clicking the icon on the desktop so that I could tell Debian to open cd-roms with gxine by default but this option does not exist. 2. I have troubles getting the audio to work properly. I can see the volume meter in the upper right corner of my desktop screen but if I unmute it and increase the volume I still can't hear anything. Therefore, I installed gnome-media to use the volume control software. If, in the volume control center I unmute all the outputs and then increase the volume, I can hear! However, whenever I reboot I have to redo this, which is very inconveniant. Is there a way to solve this? Is there even a way to solve this that does not require the installation of the gnome-media package (the fewer packages I need the better)? 3. My screen resolution is not as high as it could be, as it is on other distros (or on debian, when I do a full installation (selecting everything during the installation procedure)). How can I increase it? I selected all available screen resolutions during the installation but they don't show up after the login. Which package does the job? Regarding 1. and 2.: If make a full install of Debian then there is no problem whatsoever with DVD's or the audio. Therefore, in case some packages solve the problems, which are they? Some help would be very much appreciated. Debian rocks! Best regards, crowhill. | I can only really guess about your 1 and 2, but I think the answer to 3 depends on your video hardware. Do you know what video card you have installed? You can try to reconfigure the X Windows server with this command (as root): Code: Select all# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg You can choose autodetection, or you will be asked a bunch of questions about your video hardware. If you mess this up you may lose your desktop (temporarily). When you finish this, you will be told that your old configuration has been kept as a backup file. You might want to make a note of the name of this file. Then you need to restart the X Windows. Log out, then do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart the desktop. This is when you find out if you made a mistake with your answers. If you don't get a desktop back, do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a text terminal, then copy the backup file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. |

Solved. To rename eth3 (or whatever) to eth1 (or whatever) edit /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and reboot. Every time linux detects a new NIC in the system, it ADDS the NIC to this file, and increments the ethx. Just comment out the NICs no longer in the machine, and rename the ethx part to the number you want. ------------------------------- original thread: ------------------------------- Hi all, I need to replace the NIC in a Debian Etch server (no gui), and not sure where to make changes from command line. It's a firewall with 2 nic's. I suspect my LAN NIC is going bad (erratic connect problems to multiple ports). I yanked out the old NETGEAR FA311 NIC (eth1), and installed a new Network Everywhere NC100U-WM NIC. Upon boot, Etch doesn't appear to detect it. My /etc/network/interfaces hasn't changed, worked for previous nic: auto lo auto eth0 auto eth1 iface eth0 inet static blah blah blah iface eth1 inet static blah blah blah I'm thinking either the new NIC isn't supported in linux/Etch, which means I need to buy another NIC (another NETGEAR would hopefully simplify this), or there is some commands/files I need to modify. I'm very frustrated at this point. My firewall started actually up 3 weeks ago, and has gotten progressively worse, to the point of non-usable. My boss can't afford to buy another pc for me to make a new firewall. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.... Thanks | Damn I bought another NETGEAR FA311 NIC, and Etch isn't recognizing it either at boot, even though the original was a NETGEAR FA311. Is there some commands I can use to try and detect it? Are there some files that define the actual physical NIC? |

Hi. I have a server running Debian Etch with latest update and apache2. I have an Internet connection with dynamic IP. AS mentioned above, I have a floating IP, so I will need to update my IP for my dynamic DNS. I found that my router provide such function for me: Yeah, the IP was updated successfully (I also confirmed it in Dyndns.com user page). I also need to mention that my ISP blocks port 80, so I edited ports.conf in /etc/apache2 to listen to port 8080 (and of coz, the port forwarding in router). My problem: Although I have done what I can do (I think), only computers within my LAN can reach my Debian server; no matter I want to browse my website or connect to my server through SSH, I need to do it within my LAN. Could someone give me some hints to troubleshoot the problem? My configuration was used to work in the past, but someday it failed to work (I moved from Lenny to Etch for this problem too, as I thought I was problem of Lenny).

Hello: I am currently running Debian under Lenny distros on a old Compaq. All has been running fine for several months. I used Update Manager under KDE to perform my normal updating of packages. During the install process, it errored out after a little bit, and gave a message that not all updates could be completed. So I attempted to perform the process a second time and received the following message: Software index is broken It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first. So, I went to Synaptic to identify the broken package and it identified the following as the broken package: Linux 2.6 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 This package depends on the latest binary image for Linux kernel 2.6 on Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III/Pentium 4 machines. It seems Synaptic then wants to try and install the following as a solution for fixing the broken package. linux-image-2.6.22-3-686 (version 2.6.22-6) will be installed But when I apply the recommended change to install, it returns the following error: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.22-3-686_2.6.22-6_i386.deb: failed in buffer_write(fd) (9, ret=-1) What are my options here to fix this unfortunate situation? My normal course of using Update Manger to install or uninstall apps appears shut down because of this.

I made two changes from the stock config (for CIFS) - CONFIG_CIFS_STATS=y (this enables CIFS stats to be produced somewhere in /proc) - CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH=y (this enables support for older servers, but is apparently not enabled by default) Any ideas where I should look next? | Hmm I have no CIFS to test but I can offer guesses.

I have been recently trying to compile the drivers for my WLAN WiFi PCI card, model C54Ri (Conceptronic). I use the official package rt2500-source (both testing and unstable versions) under Debian sarge and in a i686 (P4) machine. I use module-assistant to prepare the necessary headers for the kernel and the same utility to build the driver. The compilation process stops unexpectedly with both versions of the driver, warning about implicit function declarations. Is it a problem with the C compiler? Do you know the possible reason?

Hi, I've installed sid on an amd 64 hp pavillion dv9000 laptop. (I used the amd64 netinstall image.) Once the system boots, everything works fine--wireless, 3d acceleration with the debian nvidia drivers, etc. But roughly every other time I boot, the system hangs randomly at different points; shutdown also hangs randomly about half the time, usually at "stopping the system clock." In both cases I have to do a hard shutdown using the power button. Does anyone know how I might diagnose this problem? Thanks, Tim | Something with "bad state"? http://emisca.altervista.org/nx7400/ |
New to Debian and linux. Have been trying out other distros and hopefully have found a distro in Debian that I can settle into and start learning and working. I have reading posts about 'bigmem' and since I have 2 GB ram on my system I was wondering which cd I should install from so I could get the full benefit of my ram. In a thread started by jpsimm, penpen wrote: Also it's interesting to note that (on the i386 install, at least) the default kernel does not have the 'bigmem' flag turned on, in which case you can only actually use about 800mb of your RAM. If you have more than that, you can see a considerable difference after either compiling your own kernel with that flag turned on or by installing a precompiled one that does (most of the more recent archs will have it on by default, or at least, I know -k7 does because that's what I use) I have burned the I386 cd but haven't installed yet. I could save myself some trouble by getting the correct install at the beginning. I am not knowledgeable enough at this point to complile my own kernel. Could someone steer me in the right direction? | I thought you didn't need the bigmem if you had less that 4Gb. But anyway, just install from the disk you have and when you are done you can add the bigmem kernel by doing Code: Select allaptitude install linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem Tina |

This morning, I compiled and installed Linux-2.6.21-7 from source. (There are reasons why I chose that one, but I won't explain them here). When compiling, I followed the how to forge directions to the letter. Now when I boot the computer (a Dell Latitude C510), I can get all the way to the KDM login screen, but no further. After logging in, I immediately get the following error message: * Xsession: warning: unable to write to /tmp; X session may exit with an error I've tried using the other linuxes, but they all give me the same error message. I can login at the console, but cannot start X. In case it helps diagnose the problem, here are links to: * the dmesg output * the grub menu.lst * the ls -la / output * the ls -la /tmp output * the uname -a output If you can think of any way to restore my system, please let me know. Thank you, - Eric ps: I also posted this message on my website | The grub menu.lst seems to say that you have two other kernels (presumably Debian stock?). Can you successfully boot into either of those? Ok, now I'm really confused: the dmesg and uname -a output says that you were booting the 2.6.22 kernel (not the one you just compiled). Again, can you boot the earliest kernel - the 2.6.18? |
Hello, I have made another topic for my WLAN, but this is not directly related to that topic, i am kind of a mid-noob in everything related to linux and I have some wuestions, what are the steps in the usage of ndiswrapper and after it? The ones i know: 1. Install ndiswrapper 2. Get you WLAN's inf, sys and cat files. 3. ndiswrapper -i somefile.inf 4. ndiswrapper -l (to see if the drivers are OK and allocated to an hardware ID) And from here on feel free to correct me, cuz here i got stuck. 5. depmod -a (i guess to refresh all the modules...) 6. modprobe ndiswrapper and after this ndiswrapper with it's driver should be added as a module My problem, modprobe doesn't recognise ndiswrapper as a module(FATAL: ndiswrapper module does not exist, in my case), shouldn't there be a ndiswrapper.ko for mod probe to work? Or what should I do to make it work? EDIT(SOLVED): All what I had to do was to install ndiswrapper manually...not from the repo's.....and for that i spent two days.... | m3s_4ev3r wrote:EDIT(SOLVED): All what I had to do was to install ndiswrapper manually...not from the repo's.....and for that i spent two days....That's not what I would call "SOLVED" in a Debian forum -- why didn't you look at the ndiswrapper sticky in the Howto section? |
I'm running an AMD 6000+ X2 and in my /proc/cpuinfo I dont have SSE3 listed, how do I find a kernel that supports it? Or what do I have to do to compile one. Any pointers? | I'm sorry, probably didn't list enough information in the first place but I believe I figured out the issue. I read a post that it may be called 'pni' (prescott new instructions). If this is in fact the case this is because for this kernel version(2.6.18-5-686) they had compiled it using that name and then Intels' marketing dept. changed it from pni to sse3.

I've just set up Debian Lenny on my laptop and have been unable to get time running properly (using fluxbox as my WM). I triple boot my laptop so have to use local time for the hardware clock. To start with I've set 'UTC=no' in /etc/defaults/rcS and the timezone is correct (/etc/timezone is set to Europe/London and a diff of that timezone against /etc/localtime shows them to be binary equal). I also have no tzconfig program though I do have tzselect. When running tzselect it gives me this The following information has been given: Britain (UK) Therefore TZ='Europe/London' will be used. Local time is now: Sat Oct 6 18:20:23 BST 2007. Universal Time is now: Sat Oct 6 17:20:23 UTC 2007. The UTC figure reported is the hardware clock time. Anyone run into this. I've tried setting the UTC value in rcS to both values and rebooted each time. | set the clock to local time... |
Wow, just came out of a major "system down for ever" nightmare: / is on sda11, home on sda5/. sda6 was unused so I deleted it and grew sda5 into it. Result was that / had moved up to sda10. I changed grub and the fstab using "ye olde" knoppix and thought I'd done a nice little job. Farty pants! My box greeted me with kernel panic because of /usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init or lack thereof. Two hours of reading later I learned that yaird was indeed the problem - it cannot cope with changing addresses or some such. A bug was duly filed but never even got recognised as such - wonderful. So out came knoppix again, I chrooted into sda10 and made a feeble attempt at "mkinitrd.yaird". However, yaird was not about to comply so easily. Indeed, it proved so stubborn that I gave up on it. And turned to initramfs which is supposedly much more flexible (and used on bootable usb sticks and the like). Again I failed miserably from within my chroot jail, this time access was denied to some /usr/share/initramfs-tools directory or other. Don't ask me why 'cos ls -l stated something different (but this probably shows my lack of understanding of underlying principles). The only thing that was left for me to do was create sda6 again. It turned out that this was named sda15 (being the next number in line) but I could easily change that again with knoppix and fdisk. And now, having aged 20 years in four hours, I am back on testing on a 2.6.18-5-k7 kernel. 'kin great! Anybody any idea what happened? Any other fellow sufferers out there who have had similar experiences? And why use yaird if it makes a system unbootable so easily at all? And how can I change to initramfs? Oh well, all those for tomorrow | /usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init: opening console: No such file or directory Kernel panic _ not syncing: Attempted to kill init When you see the above and your system refuses to come up follow the steps below and boot up normally again: Scenario: You changed something in your partition table. / is not where it used to be. Reason for boot failure: The initram disk created by yaird cannot be found (further reading http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.or ... ramfs.html). Solution: There are two ways of going about this: - If you have a bootable rescue environment _with a damn near similar kernel_ to the one of your original system you may boot that up, chroot into your non-booting system and rebuild your initram disk using the mkinitrd.yaird command. You should be able to boot. If this fails, continue as below... - If you do not have a bootable rescue environment _with a damn near similar kernel_ to the one of your original system you need to ensure that your / partition gets the same address it used to have when you could still boot. gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and fdisk (knoppix will do) are your little helpers here. NOTE that partitions sizes do not matter here, only names!!! Once you have managed to make your partition table resemble its original state you will be able to boot (after having adjusted grub and your fstab back again). Prevention from reoccuring: Yaird stands for "yet another mkinitrd". It doesn't tell you beforehand, though, that it is so inflexible. I opted for initramfs instead as I will be able to change my partitions at will without having to run mkinitrd.yaird every time before I boot following changes (reminiscent of lilo...). To do so you can apt-get install initramfs-tools and then run update-initramfs. Note that this will invariably increase the size of your ramdisk, but what are a few megabytes between friends... Please let me know whether this has been helpful or you have run into snags and require further help. Cheers |
I decided to slim down my Lenny install by removing (uninstalling) the gnome-desktop-environment package in order to rid my system of programs I would not be using to include: ekiga, evolution, gnome-games, etc. I knew going in that synaptic would in turn want to remove other programs I wanted to keep via the auto remove option in the status menu. Is there some way to modify this auto removable function to reflect those programs I intend on keeping? I realize I should have installed a "minimum system" and build upon that, but it is a bit late for that at this point in time. Cheers | It's not too late.

Fortunately, after doing fsck I was able to boot using the old kernel (2.6.18-4-686). However, every time I try to boot using the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel, the above shown error appears repeteadly, so the booting process (if it finishes) takes about 10 minutes! This problem appeared just after the security update, before that, everything was ok with the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Edit: the new kernel update solved the problem Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using Etch. | I think this is better handled through a bug report. |
