Hello,

I don't get wlan with wpa working on my powerbook g4 with etch.

Hi, I'm trying to track down a pretty apparent problem that I'm
having with disk i/o on an Etch box. Basically, I have two identical
machines. One is running Etch and one is running CentOS. The Etch
machine is really slow. I'm trying to figure out why. Details are
as follows:

Etch: (output of hdparm)

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1588 MB in 2.00 seconds = 794.41 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 176 MB in 3.03 seconds = 58.15 MB/sec

/dev/sda:
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 30401/255/63, sectors = 488397168, start = 0

Linux etch 2.6.18-4-k7 #1 SMP Wed May 9 23:42:01 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/
Linux

CentOS: (output of hdparm)

/dev/sda:

i'm happy to learn etch include mplayer
so i install etch, only to use mplayer
only to learn mencoder is not included

Why?

Hi all,

On my Debian etch system I have bash version 3.1.17(1)-release installed, due to a bug I need to downgrade it to an older version, how can I achieve that with either apt-get or aptitude?

I had already done that in this system but recently upgraded it to 3.1.17(1) accidentally, I can't remember how I downgraded in the first place and now I only have version 3.1.17 available via Aptitude

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I'd like to configure keybindings using the
~/.enlightenment/keybindings.cfg file, but I've previously used
e16keyedit and I'm having trouble undoing the changes made by it.

I'm trying to restore a few keybindings that I deleted using
e16keyedit to verify that the keybindings.cfg file is working, so I
copied /usr/share/enlightenment/config/keybindings.cfg to
~/.enlightenment/ and restarted enlightenment. The default keybindings
were not restored.

Since e16keyedit is so poorly documented, I downloaded the source and
found that it writes its configuration to $EROOT/config/e16keyedit.db.
I found no file named e16keyedit.db on my computer. It wasn't cached
in ~/.enlightenment/cached/ either.

Does anybody know how to undo the e16keyedit configuration?

Greetings;

I have two printers. I set both of them up using the Add Printer Wizard
in/from Gnome.

I have printed test pages but they are stuck in the queue with a status
of job-stopped.

The first printer is a windows printer, HP Deskjet 6540, IP connected,
and all of my windows computers can send to it just fine. Just not my
Debian Etch.

The second printer has the same problem. It is a local USB connected
Epson Stylus CX7800. It worked on this computer in it's previous
incarnation as a Win 2k machine.

The HP will eventually change to a Stopped state, and I can't resume it.
I assume this has something to do with it being a shared network printer.

I have poked around and can't find any error messages. The status

I have trouble using logical vfat partition
so I intend to try mkfs.vfat

Anyone else seeing absurdly slow responsiveness from iceweasel, like 30
seconds to close a tab?

Or am I just using too many plugins?

Try:

ln -s A --force mylink

or
ln -s A -f mylink

This article sheds some light on the AIX file system framework. You need to understand the framework in order to develop a new file system, or to port an existing file system to the AIX operating system.

Hi,

I'm trying to make my wifi dongle working on my debian sid box (Asus
wl-167g).

I tried with the official drivers (rt2500 or rt2x00) and with ndiswrapper.

With the official drivers, iwconfig detects nothing (module is loaded)
and I noticed nothing in the logs.

With ndiswrapper, it's not better. The driver seems to be well installed

$ndiswrapper -l
rt2500usb : driver installed
device (0B05:1706) present

I noticed this error in syslog :
May 31 20:40:17 localhost kernel: ioctl32(loadndisdriver-:4696): Unknown
cmd fd(0) cmd(40056e00){00} arg(ffcc61c4) on /dev/ndiswrapper (deleted)

It may be the cause of the problem.

Does anyone made this chipset working ? (I made it last summer, can't
remember kernel version).

Thanks for your help.

MySQL database does support C program API just like PHP or Perl API.

The C API code is distributed with MySQL. It is included in the mysqlclient library and allows C programs to access a database.

Many of the clients in the MySQL source distribution are written in C. If you are looking for examples that demonstrate how to use the C API, take a look at these clients. You can find these in the clients directory in the MySQL source distribution.

This tutorial provides a sample MySQL C program and step by step compilation instructions to kick start MySQL programming via C API.

I installed Etch on a new Sony Vaio TXN-27N, using the default
encrypted root option. Very easy, and it works great - my
congratulations to the Debian installation team!

A 2.6.18 kernel was installed. I would like to upgrade that to
2.6.21, to take advantage of some new Sony-specific features.
I started with official 2.6.18 sources, did "make oldconfig" starting
from the configuration of the installed kernel, built the kernel,
modules, and a new initramfs. That all works.

However, when I patch the kernel sources up to 2.6.19, the resulting
kernel cannot find the root filesystem. Details are below. The big
difference I see is that a successful kernel recognizes the disk as
/dev/hda, while the unsuccessful kernel recognizes it as the SCSI

Hello,
Im new to debian and was trying to install gfs-tools using
aptitude("aptitude install gfs-tools")
It cant find it.
My source list is the default one.
Do I need any extra source?
Is downloading it from
http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/gfs-tools the only way to
install it?
Thanks

I am trying to install Debian 4.0 Etch under VM on an s390 mainframe.
I am using a network install and a guest lan for connectivity. After I
sucessfully install the OS, the system re-boots. On Re-boot, Linux
doesn't recognize the guest lan, even though did a network install
using it.

Is this a kernel problem ir an installer problem ir what?

Thanks,
Rod

Hello all,

I need to delete some words out of a large file containing
information about packets I'm analysing. I know I can use sed to do
this, but haven't really used it before, so am a bit unsure of how to
do it. Two example lines are as of below:

"181","1324.014027","111.111.111.111","111.111.111.111","RTP","Payload t
ype=ITU-T H.261, SSRC=2008229573, Seq=54520, Time=1725612773, Mark"
"185","1324.078941","111.111.111.111","111.111.111.111","RTP","Payload t
ype=ITU-T H.261, SSRC=2008229573, Seq=54521, Time=1725616276"

I need to convert the above to the below:

"181","1324.014027","111.111.111.111","111.111.111.111","RTP","54520"
"185","1324.078941","111.111.111.111","111.111.111.111","RTP","54521"

This is one for the books! I opened, from a new installation, the main page
of 'phppgadmin' & 'phpmyadmin' one after the other in iceweasel & then in
Konquerer. In iceweasel they both performed as they should, however, in
konquerer phppgadmin did not work but phpmyadmin did. The error message is:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phppgadmin/ on this server.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

How do I get started making my own debian package files from source. I need to

Thanks.

mod_proxy_balancer is an Apache module that lets you create a loadbalancer. This loadbalancer retrieves requested pages from two or more backend webservers and delivers them to the user's computer. An important feature of mod_proxy_balancer is that it keeps track of sessions so that a single user always deals with the same backend webserver.
