x.x.x.x should be a regular expression (for example: host("fubar")) and you want that to match whatever syslog-ng logs for the host.

You may be interested in the use_dns(yes|no) option, as well as the template $HOST value (you may still want to use $HOST and use a symblic link so you have data available under either IP or hostname directory). The other option is to use netmask() in your filter instead of host().

It sounds like you have another log statement, and that it does not exclude the data from your cuda host. Another way may be the flags(final).

Neither. It selects messages from the log stream, and the log statement tells syslog what to do with them. If there are no messages that match the template is probably not invoked to create the directories.

not host($host)

Can't find what you're looking for?X

where $host is the name syslog logs for the host. You can probably also use the flags(final) on the log statement for cuda, and you may then want to list that log before the log statement that catches the rest.

Make sure you restart (not just reload) syslog-ng after your changes. Otherwise you may not know of syntax errors that cause the old config to be still used. And another tip is to test your rules using logger.

Yesterday I created a new directory on my workstation so I could mount a few NFS mounts on it. As root, I typed "mkdir /thresh" and it worked, or seemed to. I realize I didn't actually list it, I just tried mounting the imported filesystems on it and it worked. Now when I list it, I get: 

?---------   ? ?    ?        ?                ? /thresh

I tried chown, rm, mv and other commands as root, but I can't do anything with this directory.

What can I do to either delete it (the only data in it is mounted from other systems) or make it usable?

Don't know where to look next?X

I am not sure if I understand the problem. The CUPS frontend at http://localhost:631 allows you to add several instances of the same printer with different names and you can set the default options of each instance as you wish. You don't even have to edit a single configuration file to do this. How much simpler does it have to be?

I wonder what printing system is used by MacOS X, maybe Debian could copy it? And who owns CUPS anyway?

The speed improvement doing it this way can be especially dramatic on RAID 5 volumes, where writing small files is much slower than writing large blocks. Minutes instead of hours, in some cases. Also, the new LV doesn't have to be exactly the same size. The same size *or larger* will do nicely. There will just be wasted space in the LV until you expand the filesystem to match, which should be done after the copy.

This appears that your created or possibly the mounted a directory has some odd permissions - e.g.: $ mkdir -m600 foo $ ls -la foo/ total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? foo/. ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? foo/..

Try unmounting your NFS share and checking permissions/UMASK on both sides. -- Kind Regards, Michael Shuler

You need to unmount the NFS filesystem first, if there's still one mounted. Removing a directory that has a filesystem mounted on it is a no-no and I doubt the system will let the delete complete until the filesystem is unmounted. (Note that if the NFS server has gone away you may need to use umount -f to get the unmount to complete.) If that's not the problem, I would boot into single user mode (or boot a rescue CD) and run fsck on that filesystem. I've seen directory entries like that on corrupt filesystems.

Our story so far: I'm running vanilla etch w/Gnome, except for a) emacs22 from unstable, and b) blowing away X and Gnome, then reinstalling. (This due to some idiocy, I forget quite what, during which I damaged X such that gdm couldn't start it up.) X and Gnome are now quite happy, but when I ask emacs to set a font is says ``Font not found''. This obtains even for such staples as Courier 12-point. Reading up (briefly) on defoma, it seems to say that each app effectively registers itself with defoma, which handles everything from there on. I can find no mention of defoma in any of the emacs .postinsts, nor can I see any way from the command line to make defoma register emacs. ``apt-get install --reinstall emacs22'' doesn't change things. Searching this year's archive of debian-user, for ``emacs fonts'', shows nothing. Anyone have any ideas? -- Best wishes, Max Hyre

Okay, as some have suggested, it was a problem with the nfs mount. =A0When= =20 I umount'ed the share, ownership returned and it's okay.

Did you at some point in the past use "Switch User" to start a new session on tty8? It would be interesting to know what options are used when the second Xorg process is started. Here is what I see: $ pstree -a $(pgrep -P1 kdm) kdm -config /var/run/kdm/kdmrc =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/XXXX= XXXXXX =E2=94=94=E2=94=80kdm =E2=94=94=E2=94=80startkde /usr/bin/startkde =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80kwrapper ksmserver =E2=94=94=E2=94=80ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-sess= ion /usr/bin/startkde This should tell you on which VT the second Xorg process is running; you can then switch to that VT and check out what is going on. (I think it should never happen that two Xorg processes are attached to the same VT; lockfiles in /tmp are supposed to prevent that.) --=20 Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |

The following one-liner should do it (it works for me): perl -pe '$_ .= "\n"' <filename> You could also do the following: perl -pi.bak -e '$_ .= "\n"' <filename> <filename> will now contain the double-spaced text, and <filename>.bak will contain the original file. Here's how it works: "-p" uses an implicit while(<>) { # foo print $_; } with "# foo" replaced by your provided script. "-e" specifies that the next string is the script to run. "-i.bak" says to do in-line replacement, moving the original to a file with ".bak" as the extension. You could use any extension you like here. Since $_ will be printed automatically, we append (".=") a newline to it. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com http://36pints.blogspot.com

I had occasion to reboot, and now everything works fine. Any ideas about /that/? -- Best wishes, Max Hyre
