I was not clear. I do indeed manually mount it with mount, as I haven't worked out any other way. After copying files etc, I then click 'disconnect' in gtkpod to be sure it flushes data, then I 'eject /mnt/ipod' and the ipod stops saying 'do not disconnect'.

Do you need help?

The occasional problem is when gtkpod refuses to disconnect, giving the strange error message.

Failed to remove watch.

After that, I cannot umount or eject as the device remains busy. So I use brute force...

Hi, Erm i read the reject happened because of missing pseudo headers ... thats true! --- http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting --- Pseudo-headers The first part of the bug report is the pseudo-header which contains information about what package and version your bug report applies to. The pseudo-header must start on the first line of the body. In other words, the first line of the message body should say: Package: <packagename> Replace <packagename> with the name of the package which has the bug. The second line of the message should say: Version: <packageversion> Replace <packageversion> with the version of the package. Please don't include any text here other than the version itself, as the bug tracking system relies on this field to work out which releases are affected by the bug. You need to supply a correct Package line in the pseudo-header in order for the bug tracking system to deliver the message to the package's maintainer. See this example for information on how to find this information. ---end quote--- subject gets the bug title and first line of the body *MUST* be the start of pseudo headers Package: kjobviewer Version: ...

[Putting this back on list] This is not in windows, because in windows, as far as I remember, filesystems are never checked when the system is shut down cleanly. Debian's default settings provide for occasional file system checks to verify that your filesystem is ok and not suffering form (gradual) corruption by bad disks, bad cables, bad memory, or kernel bugs (kernel bugs are very unlikely for an etch system, I guess). Bad disks, cables and memory corruption occur on windows as well, but the user will only notice when it is too late to fix anything. I have more than once rescued data from a windows system that was inaccessible by windows, but a good deal of the data could still be read with linux tools. These file system checks are a measure to protect you from data loss. If you don't want this protection, you can configure your system to skip these tests. Read 'man tune2fs' and look at the options -c and -i. If I were you, I would rather spend the few cents to replace the battery and sleep better, having the knowledge that my linux does filesystem checks *before* problems become unfixable. YMMV. So really these tests are a feature I and many others cherish. It is certainly not a bug.

Grub was version 0.97 on the USB key installation. Does the new net-install CD has Grub2 now? I got to try it then. /KS

All I did was to use the latest daily build of netinst. I did not characterize the installation as being for a print server, just as a desktop machine. I suspect that that's how cupsys sneaks into the installation, because some of the gnome desktop stuff requires it.

hplip was installed, but I didn't ask for it. I think Cupsys depends on it.

lprng lets me set up my own filters. The only filters I need are easy: pnm2ppa and a little something that prepends some postscript that tells my HP 4050 JetDirect to be in duplex mode. One of the simple tasks that I have never succeeded in getting Cupsys to do, even after many hours of fiddling, was to describe the same printer hardware in two ways, one simplex and one duplex. In my experience, trying to use Cupsys is like trying to use a battleship -- a battleship that doesn't work reliably -- as a commuter vehicle. Nothing about it is intuitive, it's incredibly opaque and complex, and it's far too time-consuming to get it to work. The fact that Cupsys is evidently the default printing system for Debian is, in my opinion, poisonous to Debian's acceptability as a desktop, particularly in the face of Apple OS X's well-deserved and fast-growing popularity. The ambitiousness of Cupsys could have been beneficially tempered with a greater respect for the fact that "less is more". Personally, I regret that I have wasted so many precious hours on it, and I do not expect to make any further attempt. Ever.

Right. This is a conflict that doesn't reveal itself until it's got you well and truly wedged.

Good thought. I don't recommend it!

I already did exactly that, except that I also installed cvs, emacs, and ssh-server, too, and I don't believe that those packages are implicated. Therefore, I think I've found the bug already. And I have a workaround: just remove cupsys first of all, *before* installing python-2.5. -- Steve Steven R.

As it stands I used the following line in the syslog-ng.conf file to create seperate files and directories for the different boxes. destination d_ALL { file("/var/log/$R_YEAR/$R_MONTH/$HOST/$R_YEAR-$R_MONTH-$R_DAY"); }; I need to filter out the logs from one host and have it go to a different destination. I setup the following destination: destination d_CUDA { file("/var/log/CUDA/$R_YEAR/$R_MONTH/$R_YEAR-$R_MONTH-$R_DAY"); }; and I setup the following filter: filter f_cuda { host(x.x.x.x); }; and the folling "log" rule: log { source(s_ACS); filter(f_cuda); destination(d_CUDA); }; However it isn't working. The new directory isn't being created and the logs are still going to the old destination. I think the problem is with my filter. Does using a 'host' filter block messages or allow them? What do I need to do filter out the logs from that host from going to the "d_ALL" destination and force it to go to "d_CUDA" instead? Thanks. Nathan

This just means that vim isn't installed. Run 'apt-get install vim' and it should work.
