    _Could_ be slack space. I'm not quite convinced mind you. However,
iirc ext3 uses 4k blocks, so if you have an average file size of 2k,
each file will take up 4k anyway. Plus, if a file is 4097 bytes
according to stat(), it will take up 8192 bytes of space.

Do you need help?X

    Not to say I'm definitely right, but it's a working theory.

        This didn't work either. I ran it and re-started--it failed.


	Current error message says
		"Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module"

-H reports back by powers of 1000 while -h reports back 1024, but that 
still doesnt account for the ammount of difference there.  Did you 
recently delete a lot of files?  It could be that a process still has a 
file open that needs to be closed before reporting that space free to df.

Hi,


   I am using following configuration as my hardware -:
PIII 700 MHz

128 MB SDRAM


no graphics card



It shows 5080 as free.


I am using debian 4.0 and it's my first time with debian based distro. I am
facing a weird problem. My system either hangs or screen gets filled with
vertical coloerd lines (like thin copper wires). Previously I thought It was
related to gnome so i switched to xfce but the problem remains. This occures
every now or then randomly.


I a not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem and how to
catagorise this problem in either of them. Can anyone please help me out?



Thanx,


Mridul

I have built a Debian Etch partition from the buisness card cdr mainly
so I can use/upgrade programs that depend on Gnome libraries.  I tried
an Ubuntu install earlier.




Call Pantek today for Open Source Technical Support at 1-877-546-8934 - 24/7/365X

Both Debian and Ubuntu show this peculiar trait. When I boot and
select the first choice from the grub menu the OS goes into a loop. I
sign on and then it does another hard boot ultimaely preenting me the
rub menu again. .   But the single user boot seems to work. However it
is as advertised, just single user.



Here is the info from menu.lst:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-5-686

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro

Ah, thank you.  That put me on the right track.  I did it a little 
differently, but you got me thinking in the right direction.   I used 
os.system() as I need the output printed to screen so I can read email 
headers. 


Do you need more help?X

Now on to the next step, to figure out a way to poll for stdin, pass 
that to exim, and process the message(thaw or remove it) based on what I 
read in the header.

        Did some double checking.  I'm running on 2.6.18-5-486.  The nvidia 
kernel module is the one for 2.6.18-4-486.  Installing the module for 
5-486 will probably help...



        ...so dumb question.  Running the AMD Duron (1.3), which is better: the 
i486, the i686, or the k7 modules (and kernel)?



        Again, thanx for your time.

Thanks.


I got os.popen4 to sort of work, I think,  as it will capture stdout 
from the child process, but haven't figured out, yet, how to capture 
that and print it to the screen so I can read the headers.

just wondering... maybe this is the problem? does local email need to
use smarthost at all? I'm pretty sure that I've not emailed the local
account from an external account before (but that I have emailed a local
account from another local account and that I have emailed an external
account from a local account)


Don't know where to look next?X

Just my two cents as I am not an experienced linux user: I was seeing 
these  very same colored vertical lines (but without the computer
hanging) when I was using with my ATI mobility radeon X700 card the vesa
(generic) driver. Which driver are you using for your graphics card (you
can't have none!)? What do you see at the syslog/dmesg after the reboot?

aha, if i set


 dc_other_hostnames='ratty.phy.umist.ac.uk' (ie not just 'ratty')
(using dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config's screen "enter a ;-sep list of
recipient domains for which this machine should consider itself final
dest") then mail is delivered from local account to local account



phew!

Before we get too far down the garden path with this, what is the big
issue?  I'm on dialup.  I've never had to deal with removing messages
from the queue since I have exim run with -qqff which automatically
thaws the list every time it runs.  After enough retries, exim returns
the message to sender.  Then again, I'm going to a smarthost.



Under what circumstances would you need to manually remove a message
from the queue?



As for polling stdin, why?  What will it get from stdin?



Doug.
