Why dont you find a way to evaluate your /var/log/apache2/access.log? In there is all the info your currently looking for. You could write a little shellscript to summarize and shorten the entries.

Do you need help?

Hi,

That doesn't work either, everything I do first tries to upgrade debianutils, which fails on this passwd package the same way. Originally I was attempting to upgrade the kernel when I got this error.

(Reading database ... 38049 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace debianutils 2.8.4 (using .../ debianutils_2.21_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement debianutils ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ debianutils_2.21_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/add-shell', which is also in package passwd
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils_2.21_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

# cat /etc/debian_version
lenny/sid

Thanks again

Can we help you?

Message-ID: <46890D22.9030102@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I have been having problems with automounting USB drives in GNOME. It used to work flawlessly, but suddenly stopped (I know that 'suddenly stopped' is a bit too vague, but that's what I've got...). I am not in front of my home computer right now, so I will give details as they come to memory, sorry about that. CDs get automounted perfectly. USB drives used to work as well. The two drives that I have tested were a Kingston 1GB pendrive and an HDD MP3 player from Cowon, which acts as an external HDD when plugged in the USB port. They are both behaving the same way: when I plug the device in the USB, it will load the drivers and assign a /dev/sd* node. They both work ok if I manually mount them. I have checked if gnome-volume-manager is running, and it is. I have killed it and re-run it with -no-daemon and watched the output. It will detect the drive, but then it says something like 'not a mountable volume' and remove it from automounting... I am running a mix system of lenny and sid, and have tried packages from both, notably udev, hal and gnome-volume-manager and no success.. Any ideas?

Hi, According to [01] the correct file to edit is /etc/network/interfaces. Don't forget to specify the correct nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [01] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#s-net= -high=20 --=20 Yann Lejeune.

In A Hurry, something more complex like this: cat /usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log | awk '{ print $1,$3,$4,$5,$7}' Later convert the output to HTML and put it in the web directory, so this is very basic but works for me. Best, Orestes.

I'll assume that you actually mean /etc/network/interfaces, not=20 /etc/init.d/interfaces. Is your machine plugged into e DSL router? If=20 so, what is it's ethernet ip address set to (should be 192.168.1.1,=20 since that's how you defined the gateway in Linux)? What happens when you ping 192.168.1.1? BTW, you don't need to restart your machine after making network=20 changes, just do (as root): # /etc/init.d/networking reatsrt

I could be wrong here. But AFAIK, you need to restart the machine only when kernel is updated. For pretty much everything else restarting the machine is unnecessary. For example, to restart the network you can do /etc/init.d/networking restart and so on! hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/

The kernel. When the kernel is updated you need to restart your box to get the new kernel up and running. All the services on your box can be stopped or restarted from /etc/init.d/whatever as needed.

What about libc? I have seen anomolies when some programs are using the new version and some are still using the old. -- "Every time I try to define a perfectly stable person, I am appalled by the dullness of that person." -- J. D. Griffin Rick Pasotto rick(at)niof.net http://www.niof.net

Dear all Thanks to those who replied. Sorry - it would have been useful for me to have supplied more info with my original post. My soundcard is an EMU10K1-SBLive5.1 and I am attempting to use Skype-1.4.0.74.deb from the Skype download site. When I go and test the connection, the error message I get is: "Call failed: problem with audio playback" - nothing more. This is some data I captured from running KControl/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System/Test Sound from the konsole: server status: running, will suspend in 58 s real-time status: not real-time server buffer time: 46.4399 ms buffer size multiplier: 1 minimum stream buffer time: 46.4399 ms auto suspend time: 60 s audio method: alsa sampling rate: 44100 channels: 2 sample size: 16 bits duplex: full device: default fragments: 2 fragment size: 4096 I have attempted to capture the mic in alsamixer, and still the same error. The online info I have found hasn't been very useful, effectively suggesting I try: modprobe snd-mixer-oss and modprobe snd-pcm-oss Any other tips or suggestions please? many thanks A -- "If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers." - Thomas Pynchon, "Gravity's Rainbow" End of debian-user-digest Digest V2007 Issue #1879 ************************************************** Received on Mon Jul 2 13:26:33 2007
