Hi! After i've upgraded debian, network-manager-gnome or nm-applet, wont work. first the icon didn't show atall because the debian updater uninstalled it. So i downgraded network-manager and installed network-manager-gnome again. This brought back the icon, but now it can't find any wireless networks and i'm unable to access any wireless network in gnome. I have no trouble accessing wireless networks in the terminal outside gnome. I've installed my nic's firmware in /lib/firmware and before the upgrade everything worked 100%. I'm using a Dell inspiron 6000 with an intel pro wireless nic. The driver is ipw2200. i have upgraded network-manager again and installed all it's dependencies with apt-get build-dep network-manager but it still won't work. network-manager-gnome is version 0.6.4-8+b1 and network-manager is version 0.6.5-1 .. i think. UPDATE: i tried uninstalling network-manager and network-manager-gnome and now debian won't install any of them again.. i really don't know what to do know... UPDATE2: I've installed network-manager again in version 0.6.5-1. But now network-manager-gnome won't install since it needs (= 0.6.4-8+b1) .. what's next!? | http://www.nabble.com/Bug-440143:-netwo ... 52340.html |
Sometimes when I do a upgrade the upgrade adds 686 machine start ups in the menu.lst. When my computer starts and if I don't choose the 486 mode it will boot into 686 and I have xserver problems and no start up. I have to go into the menu.lst and delete all the 686 entries to get this back so it will boot up properly. Since I'm still learning Debian it took me awhile to figure this out with help from the forums. Any help would be appreciated to keep this from happening again and again. | Sounds like you have the 686 kernel installed in addition to the 486 kernel? |

I'm having trouble getting an SSHFS share on my home server to automatically mount on my desktop. This worked when I was using Ubuntu on the server. A few weeks ago, though, I used the Debian 4 net install disk to get the minimal server that I wanted. I can mount the drive manually by typing: Code: Select allsshfs -p xxxx -o uid=1000,gid=1000 username@10.0.0.5:/home/username /media/servername The entry in /etc/fstab, however, no longer does anything: Code: Select allusername@10.0.0.5:/home/username /media/servername fuse defaults 0 0 This isn't a huge problem, since I've already aliased the manual command to something easier on the memory.

I have a web server in my office running Debian Sarge Linux 2.6.18-4-686. It is connected to a Westell Versalink 327W modem / router that I am leasing from Centurytel. Until a few weeks ago, I was able to set Static Host Assignments through the Westell router in the DNS Configuration by simply entering in the Host Name of my server and typing in the IP Address I wanted and clicking on Add. The number I set it to was 192.168.1.46. Then I noticed that this number was not being used by my server anymore it was using 192.168.1.47. This is the number that I had set for my Print Server. I need these two items to have their own static IP addresses because they are shared on a network of staff and public access computers in a public library. It seems that the router is giving the web server 192.168.1.47 which is the END number given in Private LAN DHCP Settings. I am beginning to wonder if it was just a fluke that the Static Host Assignment worked like it did for as long as it did. Because now the only way I can get the Static IP address that I need for my web server is to make sure that the END number is this number. When I type in ifconfig I get the following information eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:8B:5C:30:84 inet addr:192.168.1.46 Bcast: 255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80:218:8bff:fe5c:3084/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:167529 errors:0 dropped:0 overruuns:0 frame:0 TX packets: 83912 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:21389494 (20.3 MiB) TX bytes:76094287 (72.5 MiB) Interrupt:169 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:8B:5C:30:84 inet addr:209.142.161.86 Bcast:209.142.161.87 Mask:255.255.255.252 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:169 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:566321 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:566321 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:146409064 (139.6 MiB) TX bytes:146409064 (139.6 MiB) What Centurytel is now telling me is that I have to "set" the IP address number I want on the web server and the router will accept this. Not the other way around. This makes sense because my D-Link Print Server sets its own IP Address.

I am running debian testing version on a laptop with two physical partitions. The first for /boot and the second is an encrypted lvm2 with /, /usr, /var, /tmp, swap, /home.

I've just installed Debian Etch 64bit. I'm new to Debian and am trying to get my wireless card 'Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)' working.

Network Manager is already installed on my system, so I attempted to reboot as instructed, but the window manager froze and I had to shut down using the power button. I restarted my computer, but during boot, a lot of strange numerical sequences sprang up as the wireless card was being detected and I got a "Kernel Panic!" error and the boot froze. The last line before it freezes is: <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! I've tried to bypass the kernel panic by appending "acpi=off" to the "kernel" line in GRUB, but the system still won't boot. Can someone PLEASE help me get past this and get my wireless card working?

apt wants to autoremove a lot of packages, almost the whole gnome (I use KDE and I now see how clever apt is , sorry, I didn't say that ). The point is that I have to ignore this recommendation and, then, I cannot distinguish the true autoremovable packages. It is strange that in another computer with the same sources (sid, by the way) and similar history the problem does not happen.

Hello, I am still struggling with that. I have a router encrypted with WPA, I have the key, hexadecimal and 26 characters long, and I have to connect with DHCP.

Hi everyone, I just updated my Debian Sid installation. In the update was an update of the kernel itself, from version 2.6.22-2 to version 2.6.22-3. This update did not go completely well.

Hi I've just upgraded from kernel 2.6.18-4 to kernel 2.6.21-2, and a problem came up. When trying to boot with kernel 2.6.21-2, the boot would stop at a message "Begin: Waiting for root file system" I googled a bit and found the solution at the Debian Spanish Forum (in spanish): the /dev/hda is now /dev/sda, so you must change every entry in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly before rebooting with the new kernel.

I recently bought a usb kit for hooking up my old laptop harddrive to a usb port. Makes for huge portable storage.

I have a machine with an encrypted root filesystem, using cryptsetup and luks format. The boot partition, and the kernel and initrd, are on a usb stick, so to use the machine I have to plug in the stick, then power up, then type in my luks passphrase.

How can I get rid of vino? Or at least stop it from appearing in the process list apt-get remove vino wants to throw away the gnome environment as well. | When you installed Debian, you probably chose the "Desktop environment" selection in the menu towards the end about adding software. What you are seeing now is that the way the installer does that is by installing "gnome-desktop-environment" which is a meta-package that depends on a whole slew of individual applications (like Vino, Ekiga, etc.). If you try to remove one of the individual applications, then by the logic of dependency, apt/aptitude says, "OK, now I have to remove gnome-desktop-environment." As I understand it though, if you use apt-get, you can go ahead and say yes and it will remove only gnome-desktop-environment but not all the other packages that you installed. If you use aptitude, however, then you can run into a real problem since aptitude will by default try to remove the entire slew of packages that were installed and you will cripple your desktop. (I did it once, not really understanding what I was doing. Painful lesson for a few minutes but relatively easy to fix with aptitude or apt-get.) There are a couple of good posts on the forum that talk about this.

Just curious because I'm new to Debian... during Etch's lifetime (not counting the option of compiling your own kernel), is it likely that the kernel will ever be upgraded past 2.6.18-4 or is that it until the next release (I believe it's called Lenny)? | Unless a serious flaw is found in the package that cannot be fixed, the kernel won't be upgraded until the next release.

I am running debian etch with KDE. I have a D-Link DWL G-122 Rev. A2 wireless USB adapter and I seem to have just gotten it to work with ndiswrapper, but I can't connect to my wireless access point. When I boot into Windows XP I can easily connect to it. KDE has a utility for monitoring Wifi signals and the access point shows up there, but the button to connect to it is not available. By not being able to connect I mean I am not getting any kind of feedback as to my ability to connect to any network. However, the network DOES show up on that Wifi monitoring utility (I'm not exactly sure what it is called). Note also that I have managed to get iwconfig to display my wireless adapter, or at least something called wlan0 (which wasn't there before I got ndiswrapper to work with the adapter). The router is WEP encrypted, and I've tried setting the key in iwconfig, I've tried not setting it, etc. Solution: Follow instructions on this site http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/401 (link provided by sk8r-365) Summary (from link): After building ndiswrapper and loading the relevant drivers (explained in link). I ran the following commands (also from link): modprobe ndiswrapper ifconfig wlan0 up (note: wlan0 is my wireless adapter) iwconfig wlan0 key open <WEP key> iwconfig wlan0 essid <name of the network> dhclient wlan0 Note: The network utilities in KDE did not work for me, but the solution was running these commands. Thanks for the all the help. | Are you sure you've configured your wep key correctly? There are 2 ways to configure your wep key using iwconfig, one is plaintext, the other using hex. You have to do this: iwconfig wlan0 key s:YOURNETKEY if you want to configure it by the ascii key, and like this: iwconfig wlan0 key HEXKEY if you configure it using the hex equivalent. |

I am new to Debian, so please bear with me. I noticed that libpam-keyring is only available to the testing version of Debian. Is it possible to install it on Etch? I tried downloading the .deb file and used dpkg -i to install it, but can't get it to do what I want (enter my pw for my wireless card). Worked great on Ubuntu (FF), but can't get it to work on Etch. TIA EDIT: Or if anyone knows of a good way to remove the constant wireless-popup-password box every time I startx, that would be great, too! | My humble opinon is that mixing different branches of Debian is not a good idea. There are others on this forum who would disagree with me. If you really want to try it, one method would be to go into /etc/apt/sources.list, redirect the main source line to testing, save & close, apt-get update && apt-get install libpam-keyring and look real hard at what other packages apt-get tries to update before you commit. Then revert sources.list back to Etch. Or, build from source. You'll find it a bit more of a hassle than building from ports, but not that bad. |
I run Testing and have 6 encrypted partitions (everything except /) on my laptop via cryptsetup and dmcrypt and it works fine, but as I use a random key for 2 partitions (swap, tmp) I have to enter the remaining 4 passwords, which is really annoying. One solution would be to store the key to 3 of the partitions on the 4. one and map and mount it before the 3 which use the stored key. The problem with it is, that the default cryptsetup init script first maps all partitions and then they are mounted. Could anyone help me to write/modify a/the script, that maps and mount one partition, then (as it is able to read the key) map and mount the rest? Thx in advance | I can't help you with the script, but may I suggest using LVM with the encryption? That way, you only have to enter the passkey when you activate the LVM volumes (which is once at bootup), not for each partition. While being told to essentially reinstall isn't exactly great news, it'll be easier to maintain in the long run. |
Newbie here. I am using Debian Etch on an IDE HDD. I installed a 2nd HDD and mounted it correctly, I think. At least it appears I did. But when I try to copy files from the first HDD to the 2nd HDD, I get a notification that I do not have permissions. Below is the line in my fstab for the new HDD: Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hdb1 /userme xfs defaults 0 2 I think the issue is the "nouser" portion of the default mount option. Is that correct? If I change the mount options to:Code: Select allrw, suid, dev, exec, auto, user, async will that do the trick? Or am I missing something bigger here? I won't have access to the computer to try this until tonight. Thanks in advance for any advice. Chuck | I automount a partition like so: Code: Select all/dev/sda13 /home/glenn/Music auto rw,users,auto 0 0 Of course you must own the mount point or have access to write to the mount point. |
I'm running ntpd on my servers to keep their times synced with my 2 ntp servers (both windows 2003 server domain controllers). The problem is that the ntpd is not keeping the time accurate and the clocks are drifting. I'm sure that when ntp is working properly the time is supposed to be second accurate, but it's not happening here. The clocks are drifting 15-180 seconds away from the time of the master ntp servers within a few days. I then have to ntpdate to adjust the clocks back to the right time manually which is silly (in fact I have to stop ntpd, then ntpdate, then start ntpd as they use the same socket) Below is my ntpd.conf without the comments: Code: Select allserver x.x.x.1 server x.x.x.2 driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift restrict default ignore restrict 127.0.0.1 Ntpd is running as root so there is no lack of permissions. Both ntp servers are second accurate and their time is identical down to the split second. So why aren't the unix boxes keeping time using ntpd? | Do "cat /var/log/syslog | grep ntpd" and see if there are any errors there. Another one you could try is "cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep ntpd". |

hello, i have been wasting my easter with thinking about using a new keymap as i am tired of the dumb qwertz (i have a german keyboard). so i downloaded the NEO (Neo Ergonomic Oops) keymap which is similar to dvorak but optimized for german usage. since my keyboard doesn't allow me to switch all the keys around, and because i want to be able to switch back and forth easily between neo_de and de key-layout in order to make transition time easier, i added the following to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the input device section: Option "XkbLayout" "neo_de,de" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrls_toggle" from this, i was hoping to be able to switch comfortably by pressing both ctrls keys. however, the effect was different. pressing one or both ctrls keys didn't change keyboard layout, instead, it kept the ctrl keys from working properly. for example: pressing alt+ctrl+F1 (to switch to text mode) didn't work anymore, and ctrl+F1 gave a letter as output (i think it was Q or O)... so my question is: how can i configure my system to easily switch between neo_de and de layout by keyboard shortcut? i am only concerned about X, i don't care about the keymap for the console. thanks for any ideas! (happy easter!) | ok, i installed kkbswitch which is supposed to work with every window manager ( i use e16), and the prog is running. however, it doesn't let me chose any otherlayout than the german default. in the man pages, it says: It is useful when you have configured the XKeyboard extension of your X Server to have more than one keyboard group (layout), for example US/ASCII and Russian.

Hi, I have a problem with ls configuration. I have a problem running on aix and linux (older installation and debian etch) that depends on the output of ls -l.

I log in to a console. I don't use xdm. When I log in, I am greeted with a simple line. Yesterday, it said "Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch" or something like that. I upgraded to the latest Testing. Now, it says: "Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid ALPHA tty1" I'm not running SID. At least, I don't consider myself to be running SID. I have three or four packages from unstable or experimental.

After a problem where blocks for some i-nodes were allocated far beyond the available range, I had to use fsck to check the file system and had to correct a couple of problems with bad blocks and bad block counts. Now when I reboot I find that apache2 won't start. There's also a small problem with the gdm greeter application, but after a couple of tries the system presents me with a GUI log in screen and have no problem to log into KDE, GNOME or Fluxbox. I take it that some file got corrupted and although fsck seemed to have corrected the problem I can't find what the file is or how to get everything back to working order.

I just installed stable Debian Etch on my Dell Inspiron E1505. I compiled a custom kernel from the debian 2.6.18 sources to get the features I needed that weren't available in the stock one. I've had problems compiling custom kernels for my computer in the past due to the Intel ICH7 SATA on my Dell, but I was able to use a kernel config generated by Gentoo's genkernel to create a working configuration. The kernel boots and runs fine other than the fact that the system frequently locks up for varying periods of time (anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to too long for me to wait). I'm not sure what is making it lock up. It doesn't happen when I'm running the stock kernel, so it appears to be related to my custom kernels. The only reasonable idea I've come up with is the system locking due to high internal temperature. I don't have too much to back this up other then the system seems to run cooler with the stock kernel (40-45 C normally) than with my custom kernels (50-60 C normally) (temperatures reported by acpi -t). It also seems like the fan kicks in full blast shortly after the system locks up. I may be imagining a correlation though. Basically I'm looking for reasons for why the system may be locking up, a way to prove that that's the problem, and a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | I just compiled a new custom kernel from the vanilla 2.6.20 sources and it has been working fine for the 45 minutes I've had it booted.

When I try to install and or remove packages I keep getting this error massage: Code: Select all(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openbsd-inetd_0.20050402-6_i386.deb (--unpack): files list file for package `python-central' is missing final newline E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) No matter what package I try to install/remove I get the same error and so am unable to install/remove anything.

I will start out by saying I am a complete newbie... total newbie... I have kernel 2.6.18-3-486 on etch... I am trying to install gspca which says it needs the kernel header files... no prob... I get out the apt-get and... it cant find linux-headers-2.6.18-3-486 so i look into it (and by that i mean i alot of googleing) ... it looks to me (correct me if im wrong) that etch has migrated to kernel 2.6.18-4-486... so my question is how can i upgrade to that kernel? (i could do a fresh install but figure learning to upgrade would be beneficial to me since I'm sure this wont be my last time to have to upgrade the kernel) Also if theres any kind of recommended reading or anything like that? sorry if this is a repeat question.. Ill continue to google and see what i can turn up. In the mean time any help would be appreciated. | you should just be able to run either: Code: Select allapt-get update apt-get upgrade -s | less ( then look for linux-image2.x.x whatever flaver kernel you want) OR apt-get install -s linux-image (you may have to specify which one you want, mostly the latest linux-image-2.x.x-default would be fine) after you upgrade to the latest kernel you can get the headers 2 ways: 1: reboot, choose the new kernel in grub (should be he top choice by default) make sure everything is working under the new kernel then use apt to download the linux-headers matching your kernel. 2: you could just install the headers at the same time you use apt for the kernel upgrade: Code: Select all apt-get install linux-image-your-kernel linux-headers-your-kernel ( replace your-kernel with the version you want EG. mine is 2.6.18-4-486 ) oh, and all those apt-commands MUST be run as root ( wich if you have used apt you should know ) |
I'm having problems compiling a new kernel for my Dell Inspiron E1505. Just a quick warning this is going to be wordy since I'm including as many details as I think are necessary. I'm using the latest 2.6.20 sources. I can compile the kernel fine and everything; the problem occurs when I try to boot it. All of the kernels I have attempted to compile on Etch have resulted with these last few lines of output on boot (I can't guarantee that they were exactly the same, but they all ended with the same error): Code: Select allStarting balanced_irq Using IPI No-Shortcut mode ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5) VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) For a while I've been thinking that it's an issue with the SATA in my Dell laptop not being friendly with Linux. But recently I figured out to run lspci and got the following line of output: Code: Select all00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 01) I went and checked my .config file and confirmed that I had Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support enabled in my configuration, along with a few other logical options that I had left in since I didn't know what kind of SATA I had. Unless someone knows something I don't, this rules out SATA causing the problem. I also made sure that ext3 was compiled into the kernel (and ext2 just in case). That was something obvious I made sure of a while ago. So pretty much my question is: Does anyone have any idea what might be causing my problem with my compiled kernels not booting? Am I missing some kernel config option I need to enable? Or is it something else? I know it's possible to compile a working 2.6 kernel, otherwise the default Debian one wouldn't work, plus I did it before when I was running Sarge. Wow I wish I had exported that kernel package/config file before I wiped the partition. | I have exactly the same problem on my Sony laptop, I wonder if you found a solution. I have tried all config options, and I tried to replicate the distro kernel (etch) by downloading the source from repositories and buliding with the same config file, but I get the same error from VFS on boot as you even though the binary kernel from repos works fine. I am out of ideas... Like you I suspect is has to do with the SATA. Help anyone? |
I've been fixing broken packages with 3 dvd debian-31r5-xxx.iso images. I fixed (almost completely) the bootable copy of my system located on partition /dev/hde12 with these (iso files, also located on /dev/hde12) in directory /debian/iso/debian-31r5-xxx-1.iso. The mounted partitions not listed in /etc/mtab and reported as not mounted by umount on /dev/hde12 I will ask about later. To fix my original system I copied the 3 .iso images to an unmounted partition (/dev/hde11 which I removed from the /etc/fstab on /dev/hde1) when making the copy of the system to /dev/hde12 When I boot the original system /dev/hde1 as root I than mount /dev/hde11 at /mnt and mount the .iso images as /mnt/debian-31r5-i386-binary-1.iso and loop it to /cdrom where apt picks it up and adds it to apts sources.list I have one broken dpkg left on the original system netkit-inetd.

I have installed debian-arm etch and have been using it for a couple of months now.

These are all guesses to keep you busy until the real experts show up and give you a actual answer. |
I am a newcomer to Debian but not to Linux. I recently installed Etch x86_64 with no undue problems and successfully installed the nVidia video drivers, using the "Debian method". But, being used to Gentoo and SuSE I wanted a framebuffer and bootsplash, so I installed the necessary packages and the 2.6.18 kernel sources, and built a new kernel with the required functionality, using standard methods (make && make_modules_install, etc). Framebuffer worked immediately on booting with the new kernel. Now having a custom kernel, I downloaded the nvidia installer and used that to install the video driver, something I have done many times. Everything worked when I restarted the X server. But after rebooting, X did not start. The nvidia splash screen showed for about a second, then retuned to the console. That happened three times before X gave up. I can get X to start either by changing the xorg.conf file to use the vesa driver, or by running the nvidia installer every time, neither of which is a solution to the problem.

Does anyone know a method for moving /lib from the root partition to any of the 3 unused partitions. Or install a new system on one of the 3 unused partitions. I have followed the instructions for moving any of the other directories off / except when I get to the rm -rf /lib/* I loose the system links and can't mount the new /lib partition on / and have to do a hard halt. I get the system back by using a Live CD, but there isn't enought space on / the way I have partitions set, to install the kernel upgrade that came from security.debian.org Oh, the sizes of the 3 unused partitions are 18 20 and 28 GB and / is 60 MB | llivv wrote:Does anyone know a method for moving /lib from the root partition to any of the 3 unused partitions.

It sounds like you've got everything set up correctly in fstab but it would be easier to read if you made multiple posts (instead of editing the original) and paste your complete fstab everytime you change it. I may not be the brightest bulb in the socket but I kind of had a hard time following along. Some suggestions: 1) The first thing you should reconsider is the liberal use of rm -rf. It's a BAD idea. Use mv instead or at least make sure you have backups. Code: Select allmv /dir /dir-old mkdir dir 2) I usually put /usr on its own partition. On my system /lib is about 493M while /usr is 4.5G AAMOF, I've never tried to put /lib on its own partition and /etc for example could not be on its own partition since many things are needed from /etc like init but would not be available at boot time if /etc were in fact on its own partition. 3) Use cp -a to copy the directories. Code: Select allmount /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever cd /dir cp -a * /mnt/whatever One simple mistake I have seen when transferring dirs to their own partitions is adding an extra dir to the path like /usr/usr so make sure that when /dev/whatever is mounted on your mount point as defined within fstab that the directory structure is correct. In other words, don't copy /usr to a new partition, copy everything inside of /usr to a new partition. Here is my primary desktop partition layout: Code: Select all$ mount /dev/sda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,notail) /dev/sda9 on /home type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sda6 on /tmp type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sda10 on /usr type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sda8 on /var type reiserfs (rw) |

Hi there, I can't access any of my partitions (other than etch's). I am completely new to linux, but after some research I found that writing on ntfs may be the problem, since it is not fully compatible. The problem though is that I can't even see the contents of the drives at all (I thought the problem was writing, not reading). I changed the file system on one partition from ntfs to fat32 (supposedly compatible) but I get this message instead of the drives contents: Code: Select alllibhal-storage.c 1401 : info: called libhal_free_dbus_error but dbuserror was not set. process 3191: applications must not close shared connections - see dbus_connection_close() docs. this is a bug in the application. error: device /dev/hda5 is not removable error: could not execute pmount any ideas? | Do you have the proper entry in /etc/fstab or if using pmount then you should specify the device/partition in the /etc/pmount.allow file |

Hi Can anyone lend an ear for this little problem. I am trying to get this wireless card to work. I installed rt2500 source with apt and used module-assistant and all went swimmingly well.

Hi, I'm a semi-noob Linux user who switched to Debian last week. I installed Debian with the non graphical expert mode, because i want to use KDE instead of GNOME, which means i deselected the entry "Desktop environment" at the package installation prompt, and apt-get'd xorg, kdm & kde. I'm using it's a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi1546 (here the specs PDF, if it could help), and nearly everything works out of the box, except the ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 graphic card (but i downloaded the fglrx-driver package and is now OK) and the cursed Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless network adapter... Why cursed? Well, it's been seven days I'm trying to have it working, but I failed (at least i think i'm close to the goal, I hope)... Lurking on this forum, i found a couple of threads on how install the Intel's drivers, so i downloaded the IEEE80211 subsystem and the IPW3945 set (driver, firmware and daemon). Compiling and installing the IEEE80211 subsystem was a piece of cake, make & make install went smooth, so no problem. Installing the IPW driver started to be a problem: make told me he couldn't find the IEEE80211 subsystem (WTF? I installed it a second ago!)... After a dozen of tests, i tried to ignore the warning (appending the IEEE80211_IGNORE_DUPLICATE=y option to make) and went with make install, then i copied the firmware and daemon to the indicated folders (/lib/firmware and /sbin). Trying the ./load gives me the new eth2 network interface, so i think all went fine... But! I can't configure the interface with any of the GUI tools (the wifi manager integrated with KDE, network-manager-kde, etc), everyone says there's no wifi card, or returns some weird errors about wpa_supplicant (yes, I've installed it!)... Let's try with the old way, /etc/network/interfaces! If i enters the WPA specs there i can authenticate with the access point, but can't get the IP address with DHCP... Setting the interface as static IP address clears all problems, i can authenticate and surf. Second But! When i reboot the pc, eth2 is gone! I must come back to /usr/src/ipw3945-1.1.3/, re-run ./load and fire up the interface with ifup eth2 to have everithing back... This is not quite practical... oO" Can anyone help me with having eth2 up when I login in KDE (and perhaps fix that problem with wpa_supplicant and the GUI tools)?

It was really telling you that it couldn't find the IEEE80211 includes. It needs these, to tightly integrate with it. If your IEEE80211 source is in /usr/src/drivers/IEEE80211 (where it belongs), its includes will be right under that. To tell IPW where to find that, edit its .config file, and there should be a variable that points to where it thinks those includes are. Fix that, make clean, and recompile IPW. Now, why do you have to ./load that driver after reboot? Because you failed to actually install them. ./load is just intended to test them after a compile. Re-read the instructions. Then, we'll see where we're at. |

I am new to Debian but I have used Gentoo for 2 years. I just installed Etch on my new Dell E1705 laptop. It is a dual boot system and I am having a difficulty in setting the time properly. In /etc/default/rcS I have the following: TMPTIME=0 SULOGIN=no DELAYLOGIN=no UTC=no VERBOSE=no FSCKFIX=no RAMRUN=no RAMLOCK=no I think the first problem is that hwclock may not be working properly. Here is what I get: lappy:~# hwclock --show select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out So I decided to set the correct time by using "rdate" to set the time at boot time. I added the following script named rdate to /etc/init.d and a symbolic link to it in /etc/rc2.d. lappy:~# ls -l /etc/init.d/rdate -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 348 2007-01-15 12:23 /etc/init.d/rdate lappy:~# ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S19rdate lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-01-15 12:12 /etc/rc2.d/S19rdate -> ../init.d/rdate The contents of the rdate script are: Code: Select all#! /bin/sh # # rdate Execute the rdate command. # # Version: 1998-11-01 tapio.lehtonen@iki.fi # PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOST="132.163.4.101" # Set operating system time from other host in LAN. if [ -x /usr/sbin/rdate ] then /usr/sbin/rdate $HOST echo "Used rdate to get and set the date to $HOST" >/root/rdate.out fi I know the script runs at boot time because it creates the file rdate.out in the root directory. However, it does not set date and time. If I run the script as root following the boot process, it sets the date and time as it should. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? | Well I am no Gentoo user but AFAIK the init scheme is a bit different in Debian. Here are some hopefully useful inks for you: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/212 http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 You might also just try using Code: Select alltzconfig & or Code: Select alldate Date has a somewhat confusing syntax. So if I were to set my time/date January 19 6:59AM 2007: Syntax is: date [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY] So.....

Hey guys, Well i've been at it a while to get the nvidia drivers installed however I am still having trouble. After installing nvidia-kernel-source and module-assistant I ran the m-a prepare command which returned the error "Couldn't find kernel-headers-2.6.19". Maybe i'm missing a source on the source list? Any help? | You're missing the kernel headers - have a look in Synaptic and search for 'linux-headers' and choose the package that matches your kernel and architecture. Nvidia driver requires the kernel development files to compile with the nvidia module.

Hi, I'm running Debian Etch w/ Gnome on a Toshiba Satellite laptop with a touchpad (I think it's a synaptics, it's detected as one and the synaptics driver have worked fine on Ubuntu). After installing Etch the touchpad worked but it was VERY insensitiv, i.e. it takes some five or six strokes to move the mouse from one side of the screen to the other. I tried changing the settings in Desktop>Preferences>Mouse to max, i.e. highest sensitivity, speed, you name it. No good (I figure this doesn't effect the touchpad but only mouse, which I don't use). Following some other threads in this forum and Google I installed xfree86-driver-synaptics and qtsynaptics but it didn't help. qtsynaptics is, as far as I understood, a graphical configuration tool but I can't get it started and it's not in the menu (or available in Alacarte menu editor) but that might help me, IF I can get it to run. I also have Option "SHMConfig" "on" in the xorg.conf. Is anyone familiar with this problem and know how to fix it? Every time I use the mouse I feel like a shrimp trying to run a marathon, and that's no way to start a new year. Any help much appreciated /Mojoman | Debian offers a few packages related to synaptics touchpads, including gsynaptics, which might work better with your gnome desktop. |

Hi! I am using debian stable on my desktop, and I don't feel like to upgrade to testing or unstable distribution yet. But I also like to install some pieces from rarewares repository. Can I do that (using rareware repository) without upgrading to testing or unstable stage of debian? These days I have been looking around on the web, but haven't found a solution. Many thanks! | Upgrading Stable, other than the normal security updates, or from backports.org is a fool's errand. If you want to mess around, install testing. |
In the quest for silence, I've recently converted my mythtv box from a normal computer to a diskless one: it uses PXE to load a kernel image from the server, mounts its root filesystem over NFSv3 and starts up nicely. The problem I have is that it doesn't then mount any of its other filesystems as it used to. It's supposed to mount one more NFS share and three CIFS shares. This worked fine before converting it to diskless, but no longer works and there's nothing in /var/log/boot or /var/log/messages to indicate that there are problems. This is the same system as I was running before converting to diskless (I'm serving exactly the same filesystem from the server as was contained on the machine's local disk before). I can mount the filesystems manually without any trouble at all once it's started, I just want them to be mounted automatically at boot (before mythtv-backend starts, so the NFS-mounted XFS partition for recordings is available to it). Any ideas what's gone wrong? | Sounds like you have noauto as an option in fstab. Or maybe you're not running mountnfs.sh or portmap. I've stopped using CIFS and gone back to SambaFS, as the former periodically locks up the kernel when transferring large files. Not ready for prime-time. |
I recently upgraded a stable system to unstable, and after it (may or may not connected with the upgrade, but before the upgrade, it worked well) I found out that Samba somehow screwes up when encountering with symlinks. The problem is that I have a directory, and a symlink inside it, which points to somewhere. Let's say the directory is /data/ and it has a symlink called 'ext' which points to /mnt/shared/crpt/. The directory is exported via Samba. When I mount it on an other computer, the symlink comes as a symlink, not as a directory, and of course I can't enter that directory, because there is no /mnt/shared/crpt directory on the client computer. If I set "follow symlinks = false", then on the client the programs won't be able to see the link at all (they say 'readlink failed'). I googled a little bit, but didn't found any real clue. To my knowledge, Samba should follow the symlinks silently. Note that when browsing from a Windows computer, the symlink is exported as expected (i.e. the target directory is seen instead of the symlink). Ha anyone encountered this? Why is this? How can I force Samba to behave as it did before? TIA. | The thing was causing this is the 'unix extensions' parameter, which needs to be set to 'no' in order to make samba behave the old way. Why it became the default, I has no idea, though... |
Hiya I am a total noob to Linux in general. I finally got Debian to install correctly. I installed it twice, once i forgot to install the GUI then i deleted the partition and reinstalled it. The first time (after first install) the Grub menu displayed correctly, it had: - Debian/Linux - Debian/Linux (safe mode or recovery something) - Windows XP - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. After re-installing grub it is - Debian/Linux - Debian/Linux (safe mode or recovery something) - Windows XP - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition - Other OSs: - Windows XP - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition From within Debian using the Boot applet it has the Windows XP (both) set as default. I am trying to delete the entrys but it wont change for me (I am logged in as root) It will show them gone but when I re-open the applet they are still there and on reboot they are still there. Is there any way at all to correct this problem? | Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, using nano or other plain text editor. Backup the file before making any changes. Comment the entries you don't want, with a '#' btw, avoid logging in as root. It's far too easy to wreak havoc on your system. 'su' to root as required, or add your userlogin to the 'sudoers' list to do root things via 'sudo', (aka the 'ubuntu' way) |
Hi, I've just installed Debian Etch from the DVD and edited my sources.list so that I should be able to update, upgrade and install from the on-line repositories. I tried some different sources.list, among other what I believe is a fairly standard sources.list, which is: Code: Select all# ETCH deb ftp://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free # SECURITY deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free When I try to use apt-get I get "W: Couldn't stat source package list". From what I've gathered, by manuals, google and searching this forum, this is usually the result if the sources.list have been edited but without running "apt-get update" but I have done that. Fact is, when I run apt-get update I get the error output. The network is up and running. I can log into my own server using ssh. I can ping google (at 72.14.203.99). I haven't gotten as far as a window manager and browser yet so I haven't tried surfing the net with a browser but if I can ping an Internet server, I should be good, right? Now, the sources.list above didn't work (even though I'm nextdoor to Norway) and I then tried to replace no with se (being in sweden) but that didn't work either. I also tried a us source.list and I tried both ftp and http. apt-cdrom works fine but as soon as I comment out the DVD-lines it goes south. If there is something really simple and stupid that I have missed (and I bet it is), can somebody point it out? Thanks /Mojoman | well pop in the cd and apt-get install links, that's a console browser, my instinct is that it's a network issue, but if you can ping, then you have net... if you have net you should be able to apt-get update deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free that's the one I use, it works just fine, remember to leave the last line of the file empty, as that's how linux denotes EOF (end of file) |

Hello, I am running the latest debian rels. I configure my server entirely via shell. I want to run a basic webserver on my debian box.

Edit: I just realized this should have been posted in System Configuration Hi. First of all, good work on the forums. I like his simplicity and best of all, NO ADS! It's almost impossible to find a site that doesn't have AdSense on it! So, my question is about Monit. I'm trying to install it on my 'test' server but I can't seem to get it to work. For some strange reason, even after I start the deamon, I can't establish a connection to the specified (/etc/monit/monitrc) port. I have followed this guide, skiping and deleting what I don't need (apache monitoring, postfix, sql and HTTPS support). This is my monitrc content. As you can see, I just want to start by monitoring SSHd and ProFTPd Code: Select allset daemon 60 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set mail-format { from: monit@server1.example.com } set alert root@localhost set httpd port 2812 and check process proftpd with pidfile /var/run/proftpd.pid start program = "/etc/init.d/proftpd start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/proftpd stop" if failed port 21 protocol ftp then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid start program "/etc/init.d/ssh start" stop program "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" if failed port 22 protocol ssh then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout And my /etc/default/monit is like the one on the guide. Any ideas? | I was able to find what I had wrong. Code: Select allset daemon 60 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set mail-format { from: monit@server1.example.com } set alert root@localhost set httpd port 2812 and We need to specify who is allowed to see the Monit page.

Hi! I'm trying to setup timidity as an alsa-sequencer, because i need it for a windows guitar-learning-programm (GuitarPro if someone happens to know), which I run with wine. But that's not the problem. I installed timidity (freepats was installed as dependency) and I can play .mid files by invoking "timditiy somemid.mid". However, the timidity init-script fails. After installing the package there was no output after calling /etc/init.d/timidity start. I searched the internet and debian mailing lists and found out, that you have to comment out TIM_ALSASEQ=true in /etc/default/timidity. Having done that, I get the following output: Code: Select allxenic-mobile:~# /etc/init.d/timidity start Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory error in snd_seq_open timidity. Ok, /dev/snd/seq isn't there. Consequently: Code: Select allxenic-mobile:~# modprobe -v snd-seq insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-xen/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko install modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq && { modprobe snd-seq-midi ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; : ; } insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-xen/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko FATAL: Module snd_seq_midi not found. insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-xen/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi-event.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-xen/kernel/sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.ko After doing that I get devices like /dev/sequencer and /dev/sequencer2. But if I guess right, these are oss-devices, aren't they? Where can I get the snd-seq-midi module? Does it provide the /dev/snd/seq device? I have read and searched a lot. But i'm really desperate at the moment... I can't explain why that module is missing. Hopefully some of you can give me some hint...I would really apreciate. Thanks!

Not directly related to your problem, but since you have done some kernel stuff already, you may also want to consider optimizing your system and kernel for audio apps, by compiling a new kernel with the realtime security patch.

Hi, I am searching a solution for my shutdown problem: shutdown -h or halt freezes the computer at : Will now halt Acpi_power_off called (I have tried everything with apm and acpi and it doesn´t help) This problem occurs with debian testing. On my other operating system, which is debian sarge this problem doesn´t happen.

Hi all. I am a Linux virgin by the way and I have only been messing around with Debian-Linux/GNU for two weeks.

Hope this helps someone else. My problem was after installing Ubuntu 5.1, Kubuntu5.1 or Debian3.1 I could not connect to any of the repositories. Niether apt-get update nor kynaptic nor synaptic could connect. I could surf the net and could ping any site I cared to try. In desperation ( after months of reading and help from some very generious and helpful LINUX people) I read about a file called /etc/resolv.conf and having nothing to loose I added every nameserver I could find on my computer, then I went into synaptic > settings > preferences > network and changed it from “ direct connection to internet “ to “ manual proxy configeration “ then put in the address of the repositories “ 85.133.25.7 “ and port “80”. The “85.133.25.7” is the address of “ http://au.archive.ubuntu.com “ and the port 80 is what my system said was the internet port. I am not sure which one worked but now synaptic works great. apt-get seems to work a little bit, see below.

I hope You understand what I would like to disable ( I think that after I disable it in Fedora I got back the speed for browsing the net...Or am I dreaming...?? | sandokan wrote:I hope You understand what I would like to disable ( I think that after I disable it in Fedora I got back the speed for browsing the net...Or am I dreaming...?? I think you don't have to disable anything, since IPv6 won't eat your Internet bandwidth. |
Hey all I compiled 2.6.16.1 from kernel.org last week and, on boot up, have noticed a quick few lines say something like: error - iptables - /usr/src/.../modules That is not the exact message as I have been unable to trace the exact test in dmesg (or any other logs). I've compiled loads of kernels and never noticed any complaints like this. Is there a Full and Unabridged kernel boot log? Dmesg seems awfully scant on details and I know for a fact that there are things listed on boot that don't show up in dmesg... Any help gratefully received Quilan | Why are you compiling from kernel.org? You should use make-kpkg to compile it. |
