Do you need help?X



Does your smb.conf file allow connections from that computer?



Are you sure you are using the right USERname and password?


Do you need more help?X

I think getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE means that there is at least
some communication between client and host, so we can probably rule out
elementary network problems. Nevertheless it cannot hurt to try pinging
the host from the client and making sure that there isn't a firewall on
the host blocking access of the client.

produces the attached output. I think it is what you need, showing
only those things that are *not* root-owned in my /var.

you can ignore /var/run.

The installer used eth0, as far as I recall.

Relevant output of 'lspci -v':

    02:02.0 Network controller: AIRONET Wireless Communications Cisco
    Aironet Wireless 802.11b

    02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3)
    PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet controller (rev 42)

(As a sidenote, there's no orinoco card; the OP had one.)

Following the directions at [2], the entry for wifi0
in /etc/network/interfaces now looks like this:

    iface wifi0 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid <....>
    wireless-key <....>
    auto wifi0
    allow-hotplug wifi0

If I do an 'iwlist wifi0 scan' then my AP is detected correctly (as
well as two neighbouring APs - interesting).

There is only one remaining obstacle.
The following messages appear if I do an 'ifup wifi0'.
They also appear after '/etc/init.d/networking stop' and then
'/etc/init.d/networking start'.
And they also appear if I do a 'dhclient wifi0'.

    wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
    wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
    Listening on LPF/wifi0/
    Sending on LPF/wifi0/
    Sending on Socket/fallback
    DHCPDISCOVER on wifi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5

Something wrong with DHCP on the AP?  My main computer works well with

That might be a more modern Acer lappy than my two. One being an Acer 1350 =
and=20
the other an Acer 3610. Only have solar power, so have to rely on laptops a=
nd=20
watch DVD's on them as well.

I didn't know about the bug. Maybe ignorance is bliss in this case.=20

Also installed the alsamixergui package, thinking that it would work best w=
ith=20
the sound card it discovered. It works well on both machines. I don't think=
=20
anything other than that was done, and I use Debian testing on both, just i=
n=20
case that makes a difference?

So maybe its something particular to your Acer lappy?

Thanks for the heads up about udevtrigger. I might need that for a machine =
I=20
install for someone else in the future.

Be well,
Charlie

Which kernel do you run? (Post the output of "uname -a".)

Which nvidia card are we talking about? (Post the relevant part of your
"lspci" output.)

Which version of the nvidia driver did you install? (We need the exact
name of the file that you downloaded and executed.) Did you get any
error messages or warnings when you attempted the installation?

Change your xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver and (re)start X. After it
fails/crashes, run the following two commands and post their output:

egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

egrep -i 'nvidia|glx' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

What happens if you run "speaker-test", do you get an error message or
is it just not producing any sound?

Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1

I was wondering if somebody would be able to shed some light on a problem
I am having with MIMEDefang logging to syslog.

I have compiled MIMEDefang from source instead of using the Debian
packages.  I am running a Debian testing system otherwise.

Right after I restart the MIMEDefang process my logs will look like this:

Oct 28 04:15:02 apple mimedefang.pl[12585]: greylist: white; 0;
82.118.211.*; dovecot-bounces@dovecot.org; *@stikman.com;

After about 5-10 minutes, the logs will change to this:

Oct 28 09:44:18 apple check[5889]: greylist: white; 0; 70.103.162.*;
bounce-debian-user=3Djeff=3Dstikman.com@lists.debian.org; *@stikman.com;

The first logs are logged in /var/log/maillog which is correct.  But, the
problem ones get logged to /var/log/messages.

If you notice it says the process is now check instead of mimedefang.pl
sending the output.  How come that changed?  I have restarted mimedefang
and sysklogd, but no change.  It was running fine for a couple of days,
but then the above started happening.  I have been running this same
MIMEDefang on a Gentoo box with no problems.  This is only on the Debian
setup that I have this.  Where is this "check" coming from?  And, how can
I monitor why the syslog facility is changing?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

The errors were 'cut'n'pasted' - thats how the errors appears. I musts 
admit I hadn't even noticed the missing 'n' in 'enhancement'. I think 
'sloppy coding' is a bit strong for a simple typo like that tho, don't 
you?  At least it reported an intelligible error.  The problem is now 
fixed however (follow rest of thread).

Hi there,

  When I plug my iPod using the USB cable I get the 'Do not
disconnect' screen on the ipod. It's great because I can see the ipod
is charging. But to listen to music I do not understand what I need to
do. I tried:

 $ eject /dev/sda
-> return an error

  Then I tried :

 $ sudo rmmod usb_storage

  It works, I can listen to music again, but even if the cable is
pluged it does not seems to be charging...

  and doing a 'modprobe usb_storage' leads me to the 'do not
disconnect' screen back again.

Using: debian stable, dmesg returns:
...
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Apple    iPod             1.62 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0

Thanks for suggestion,

($3!=3D"root") =C2=A0print curr_dir " " $0}' >  ~/non_root_vars

in file 't', i get:

It says this sort of thing:

speaker-test 1.0.13

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 2048 to 16384
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 16384
 0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2,657907

 0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2,986802

Time per period = 2,986797

...

until I ctl-c out of it.  But silently.

That doesn't look to me like errors.
