Does anyone know what function/package does the prompting for replacing configuration files during an upgrade? Any one
know how to automate the answers. Here is an example

 

Configuration file `/etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples'

 ==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.

 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:

    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version

    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version

      D     : show the differences between the versions

      Z     : background this process to examine the situation

 The default action is to keep your current version.

*** 30_exim4-config_examples (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

 

 

I am getting the same message for exim4, php.ini, sysctl.conf, cupsysd.conf and ntp.conf. 

 

I am looking for a way to automate the answers.

Does anyone know how to play a smil slideshow in linux?  I can get the 
audio but not the pictures in mplayer.  It is some kind of realmedia 
format I think.


Thanks,

Sam

Hello Tony,

I think you're looking for

# dpkg-reconfigure debconf

This will let you set the 'level' for the questions that will be asked
(or no questions at all) at the time you're upgrading.

Regards.

I think apt-get has a " -y " flag which will answer yes for you.
but I'm curious as to why you would want to automate this?
Overwriting default config files could possibly ruin your custom setups.
Wouldn't you want to manually upgrade these packages and config files =20
so that you know what is being changed, rather than just blindly =20
upgrading?

Cheers,
Mike

As far as the video capabilities of different hardware is concerned; I
can suggest:

apt-get install mythtv-doc 

and have a read through it. Any other -doc packages, like mplayer-doc,
are also interesting reading. There are links to hardware compatibility
lists etc.

Any other thoughts?

Subject: ALSA problem - TV tuner no sound
Message-ID: <20070705035041.270720@gmx.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I recently upgraded kernels (2.6.18-4-k7 -> 2.6.11-1-k7) and sound system=
s (OSS -> ALSA).

Sound, aside from the TV tuner, works fine.

My TV tuner worked like a snap under OSS and made use of the following dr=
ivers:
 bttv
 bt878

I've discovered that 'bttv' is need for 'xawtv' to load.  It appears
to be essential for the video.
bt878, as far as I can tell, is the OSS driver.


I thought replacing 'bt878' with 'snd_bt87x' would be the fix -- NOPE.

I thought things might work with the compatibility package, i.e.=20
"apt-get install alsa-oss" & "apt-get install oss-compat" -- NOPE.


I ran into this problem about 2 years ago (see: http://linux.derkeiler.co=
m/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2005-01/4381.html )
-- gave-up and went back to OSS.  Seems the problem-- still isn't=20
resolved cleanly.


I blacklisted 'bt878' as described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/29789

# vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
-----------------------------
	# added by MB - 2 Jul 2007
	# https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/297=
89
	blacklist bt878
-----------------------------

# vi /etc/discover.conf=20
-----------------------------
	# the following was added by MB -- to avoid that the OSS driver loads
	# see: http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/alsa.html
	skip bt878
-----------------------------
The two things above avoided that 'bt878' loads on boot-up... but gots me=
 no further ahead on the TV tuner sound.


Software:
---------
ALSA version:
$ more /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13=
:55:50 2006 UTC).

Kernel:
$ more /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-4-k7 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12) (waldi@debian.org)=20
(gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #
1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:57:15 UTC 2007
---------


I read about a problem with artsd (KDE), bttv and ALSA.  Turning off the =
KDE sound system didn't change things.


Looking at the modules...
$ more /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_emu10k1
 1 snd_mpu401

---------
I haven't figured-out what 'snd_mpu401' is...=20


I did try:
# modprobe -r snd_mpu401 snd_mpu401_uart
	This didn't make a change I noticed (other sound still worked).


It bothers me that I only find my sound card:
# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Live           ]: EMU10K1 - SBLive 5.1 [SB0060]
                      SBLive 5.1 [SB0060] (rev.7, serial:0x80611102) at 0=
xd400, irq 217
 1 [UART           ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
                      MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 10
---------
I'm not sure what 'MPU-401' is. (My sound card uses: 'snd_emu10k1'.)


'lspci' finds the sound hardware:
$ lspci=20

<snippage>
---------


My impression is that the problem lies at the level of the kernel-- after
looking at the boot log with 'dmesg':

If I block loading of 'bt878' with blacklisting in "/etc/modprobe.d/black=
list" and "/etc/discover.conf" dmesg looks like:

I have the feeling that the kernel doesn't play nice with the bt878 drive=

The 'BTTV HOWTO' ( http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/BTTV/ )=20
looked good.  I gave it a read... but it didn't help me further.


The questions I have are:
1. Is there anything specific one has to do to enable the 'alsa-oss' pack=
age?
2. Is there an easy way to downgrade to OSS?
3. What role does the driver 'btaudio' have?
4. How can I further trouble shoot the problem?

Thanks,
Michael

  These prompts are issued by dpkg.  You can disable them by passing the
--force-conf{new,old,def} options to dpkg, see dpkg(1); to get these flags
when dpkg is called from apt, put them in dpkg.cfg or apt.conf.

  I don't think there's any way to automate the choice at the package level,
although you could maybe do something horrible using expect.

I tried to create another user, to launch icedove and iceweasel as root.
Always the same problem.
I don't understand why only mozilla applications are affected.

Anyway I don't really have time to waste on this.

Thanks for your help.

Just wondering if anybody knows how to convert a color postscript 
document to a black and white one? I need to send it though a hylafax 
and the quality is better if everything is black and white.

Cheers
