Good news that your ram is ok. The reinstall can't hurt.

Welcome to Debian Infrastructure Announcements!

This mailing list targets both users and developers who are interested
in status changes of public (and private) .debian.org infrastructure.
Announcements are specifically not restricted to development resources.

Announcements may include

 . hardware failure and downtimes for critical hardware
 . hardware failure and downtimes longer than one day for less critical
 . new (may be also removed) build daemon
 . enabling/disabling on IPv6 on important hardware
 . downtime for important mirrors
 . moved services and machines
 . changes in the availability of services and machines
 . downtime of volatile and backports archive
 . new/largely changed services (e.g. new packages.d.o system)

Scheduled downtimes for less than half a day or only little frequented
services may not be announced.

All registrated Debian developers are granted permission to send
announcements via debian-infrastructure-announce by signing the mail
digitally.

Mirror administrators of important mirrors who are not registrated
Debian developers are invited to contact Debian developers (e.g. via
mirrors@debian.org) to pass announcements to users in case this is
needed (e.g. for scheduled downtimes).

Subject: Weird DHCPREQUEST to 192.168.0.1 even if it doesn't exist
Message-ID: <4732C360.5030806@linuxsystem.cz>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

Hello,

I have really weird problem with my dhcpclient.

I've found in my log this:
Nov  8 04:38:03 sheril dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.88.1 port 67
Nov  8 04:38:03 sheril dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.88.1
Nov  8 04:38:03 sheril dhclient: bound to 192.168.88.88 -- renewal in 
10674 seconds.
Nov  8 04:38:21 sheril dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.0.1 port 67

And my ip address was 192.168.0.75 and it's not really my ip address. As 
you can see I use 192.168.88.x.
This happens independently where I'm connected in.

In my dhcp server's log is this:
Nov  8 04:37:43 shilaka dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.88.88 from 
00:1a:92:e4:f2:d7 via eth1

00:1a:92:e4:f2:d7 via eth1
Nov  8 04:37:56 shilaka nfsd[8392]: fd cache inconsistency!
Nov  8 04:37:56 shilaka last message repeated 2 times
Nov  8 04:38:01 shilaka dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.75 from

00:1a:92:e4:f2:d7 via eth1: unknown lease 192.168.0.75.
Nov  8 04:38:53 shilaka last message repeated 2 times

Also my dns servers were set up to:
search mshome.net
nameserver 192.168.0.75

I tried to search 192.168.0 in /etc where it should be set, but not 
successfully.

I really don't know what happend and why there is request to 192.168.0.1 
if it doesn't exist even.

If anyone have a clue what it's going on here, please let me know. Thank 
you very much.

                                                    Dal
P.S.:
I have avahi daemon installed because of my debian wants it :) I suspect 
it a little, but I don't really know.

I thought of 'man apt.conf' looking at this:
------------------------------------------------------
HOW APT CALLS DPKG
       Several configuration directives control how APT invokes dpkg(8).
These are in the DPkg section.

       options
           This is a list of options to pass to dpkg. The options must
be specified using the list notation and each list item is passed as a
single argument to dpkg(8).

       Pre-Invoke, Post-Invoke
           This is a list of shell commands to run before/after invoking
dpkg(8). Like options this must be specified in list notation. The
commands are invoked in order
           using /bin/sh, should any fail APT will abort.
------------------------------------------------------
So apt-get calls dpkg and dpkg has 'post-invoke' options that run a
shell script.  Never tried this but this seem like a place to start.

Please report ANY bug. I'm not sure why you would assume that a bug in
stable would not be fixed?

The basic idea is that Free software and Open source both have open
source code.  But Free software is political whereas Open souce is
technological. (this can be expanded to a whole thread comparing them,
but I leave that to the interested reader)

Hi all,

this is something I saw in the past in this NG but I can't retrieve it 
anywhere. I looked for it since a while without any luck. Then I decided 
to try here...

Goal is from bash command to strip command lines from a configuration 
file (i.e for asterisk sip.conf) and display the output on sdout or pipe 
it into a new file. I would like to keep only used lines...

Hoping this clear; many thanks in anticipation.

JL

$ cat /etc/locale.gen

I found out yesterday that this must be a bash setup problem since open a
terminal doesn't set $LANG but su to a user does set it. I think that there is
a problem between the login shell and non-login shell

Many conf files use the '#' symbol to start comment line, so if a line
starts with '#', its a comment. 'grep -v "^#" filename' may be the
command to do it.

That's a useless use of cat. :) You may instead just do

grep -v '^;' sip.conf

If you want to strip empty lines and lines beginning with whitespace
followed by a ';' as well, do

grep -E -v '(^\s*;)|^\s*$'

Looks like the replies get lost somehow. At least afaict they do not 
make it into the interface of your computer (even dropping packets 
through iptables should still make them appear in tcpdump afaik). One 
idea (still strange that pinging the router works though): check that no 
other computer in your network is using ip 192.168.0.4 (arping 
192.168.0.4 should reply nothing, ping 192.168.0.4 should not report 
doubles (albeit the latter isn't as reliable since some computers don't 
reply to icmp pings); you could also watch tcpdump for a while and look 
out for arp replies for that ip, it should always be your MAC address). 
Also check the error count in "ifconfig eth0", maybe cabling is half 
broken. If that brings nothing, I'd suspect the problem is at the router.

Christian.

I've been using dpkg-divert for some time already in one case; I guess I 
know what you mean with the pitfalls, I tried like more than a dozen 
times until I got it to do what I wanted (spread over several years 
since I was too lazy to sit down and debug the thing until it worked at 
once (meaning reinstalling old package versions all the time); this 
could also mean that dpkg-divert maybe once had bugs when I first tried 
it, and didn't work just because of that).

Diverting /usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/Encode/Unicode/UTF7.pm would obviously be 
a 'solution', but that would mean I would risk not getting updates in 
that particular file. But diverting /usr/bin/dpkg would of course give 
me a hook (wrapper around dpkg) from both apt and direct calls from 
other places (like the commandline prompt), and hence be 'better' than 
your other suggestion:


> Another one is dpkg called from apt has hooks. APT.CONF(5)
>   


(I guess you're talking about Pre-Invoke, Post-Invoke, 
Pre-Install-Pkgs). Does

But wrapping dpkg would mean that I'll have to write a dpkg argument 
parser; probably not a huge task but maybe still enough work to get 
right as to question whether it's the right thing to do: too much work 
to pay off for just this case, but still not giving a solution that 
would be interesting for the general public, I guess?

Well I'll probably do it and report back here if nothing else pops up.

Thanks,
Christian.

On my (sid) machine $LANG is set in /etc/environment

24 and 32 are in most cases the same.

xorg.conf is the right place and DefaultDepth is the right option, but do=
=20
have a color definition in die Display-Subsection, e.g.:

Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Default Screen"
         Device          "Ati Radeon9250"
         Monitor         "Samsung SyncMaster 900NF"
         DefaultDepth    24
         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth           24
                 Modes           "1280x1024"=20
         EndSubSection
EndSection

xdpyinfo shoud give you the information about the colour depth.

Shade and sweet water!
