| 02:50.10 | demon | er... are you getting "no such file or directory" or "no such device"? That's not an actual error message, and misquoting the message makes it hard to deign what it's telling you |
| 02:51.51 | wardbones | Thanks, 'Device "/dev/dsp" does not exist' |
| 02:52.27 | demon | ... that isn't an error message I recognize. What program is this from? |
| 02:52.40 | wardbones | Music Player |
| 02:52.44 | demon | ...? |
| 02:52.51 | demon | what is that? |
| 02:53.51 | demon | that's not an application I've heard of |
| 02:54.02 | wardbones | Just a cd/mp3 player. It comes with the distribution for a new user workstation. |
| 02:54.35 | demon | er, what? |
| 02:55.33 | wardbones | well, please suggest another program that would more accurately diagnose the problem and I'll run it. |
| 02:56.10 | demon | I'd suggest installing mpg123 or mpg321 |
| 02:56.42 | wardbones | thanks, I'll try right now |
| 02:56.59 | demon | I'm just trying to figure out what application you're talking about, as I've run Debian for awhile, and what you're talking about doesn't sound even vaguely familiar... |
| 02:57.36 | wardbones | I'm sorry, I'll look it up on the package manager and see if I've got it straight |
| 02:59.50 | wardbones | I don't see it. It's under Gnome's Applications/Multimedia menu... |
| 03:01.01 | demon | mpg123 and mpg321 are command line tools |
| 03:05.31 | wardbones | Okay "Can't find a suitable libao driver (Is device in use?)" |
| 03:06.29 | wardbones | That's from mpg123... |
| 03:08.25 | demon | does it say anything else? |
| 03:10.33 | wardbones | Copyright info, shows the audio settings and file name and blamo, no libao driver (whatever that is)... |
| 03:11.46 | demon | okay... perhaps no sound driver, has snd-powermac been loaded? |
| 03:12.30 | wardbones | It shows that the module loads on startup... |
| 03:13.15 | demon | have you tried running 'fuser /dev/dsp' as root, to see if a process has it held open? |
| 03:13.38 | wardbones | no, sir. will do... |
| 03:14.35 | wardbones | /dev/dsp: No such file or directory |
| 03:15.04 | wardbones | \/media/Ward\040Bones'\040iPod: No such file or directory |
| 03:16.04 | demon | er... okay |
| 03:16.17 | demon | can you load the snd-pcm-oss kernel driver? |
| 03:18.18 | wardbones | okay, did it with modprobe |
| 03:18.30 | demon | does mpg123 work now? |
| 03:20.28 | wardbones | yes, but it plays in about a half a second... [0:00] Decoding of 01 - Facet Squared.ogg finished. |
| 03:20.59 | wardbones | I do hear some sound though |
| 03:21.07 | demon | are you sure the file you're trying to play has more audio than that? |
| 03:21.32 | wardbones | good question, let me see |
| 03:23.43 | wardbones | okay, the graphic music player is working but everything is very quiet |
| 03:24.03 | wardbones | got it |

| 09:18.44 | cratos | Hello everybody, I have issues with a slow random regerator on Debian 3.1 with 2.6.x kernel on PPC. |
| 09:20.11 | cratos | Could anybody run a small test if it is a global PPC issue or just my machine? |
| 09:25.01 | cratos | ... is it forbidden to post here?? ... |
| 09:27.23 | *** join/#debianppc Q-FUNK (~q-funk@dsl-hkigw7ne-54f9122e.dsl.inet.fi) |
| 09:28.29 | johill | cratos: what kind of test? |
| 09:32.27 | cratos | Could you run "apg -M SNCL -m 10 -x 10 -a 1" a coulpe of times, is should always take < 1sec. |
| 09:32.40 | cratos | The apg package is needed |
| 09:33.06 | johill | what's apg? |
| 09:33.24 | johill | never mind |
| 09:33.29 | cratos | On a 2.4.x kernel it works always, but on the 2.6.x kernel it takes about 10 min after a while |
| 09:33.48 | cratos | apg is the automatic password generator |
| 09:34.11 | johill | well, once your entropy is relinquished, it blocks reading from /dev/random |
| 09:34.15 | johill | that isn't really something new |
| 09:34.38 | johill | as soon as you move the mouse or something you get new entropy |
| 09:34.52 | cratos | Ok, but why is PPC so slow with it, i386 and Alpha stays fast? |
| 09:35.16 | johill | slow is sort of a misnomer |
| 09:35.36 | johill | essentially you're asking where i386 and alphas take the entropy from ;) |
| 09:35.38 | johill | I dunno |
| 09:35.46 | cratos | Sorry, I do not user rodents on my computer, I only type ;-) |
| 09:35.54 | johill | on an otherwise idle system |
| 09:36.05 | johill | well, typing suffices too |
| 09:36.21 | cratos | Well it runs OpenCA 10 times |
| 09:37.48 | johill | woah. what a stupid program |
| 09:38.00 | cratos | But the machine is mainly idle |
| 09:38.03 | johill | I'd recommend you don't use it ;) |
| 09:38.25 | johill | it tries to read 4k from /dev/random |
| 09:38.31 | johill | I highly doubt it needs that much |
| 09:38.34 | cratos | OpenCA or apg? |
| 09:38.41 | johill | whatever uses /dev/random there |
| 09:39.26 | johill | /usr/lib/apg/apg |
| 09:40.06 | cratos | Could an entropy gathering daemon fix my issue? |
| 09:40.25 | johill | not unless you can tell apg to use entropy from it instead |
| 09:40.39 | johill | but still -- it will attempt to get 4096 bytes, which is far too much |
| 09:40.56 | cratos | The other good question is why it did work just fine with an 2.4.x kernel? |
| 09:41.44 | johill | it generates only 60 bytes or so, so why use 4096 random bytes (if those are available, apparently it is happy with less)? |
| 09:41.46 | cratos | How did you see that it did read 4K? |
| 09:41.50 | johill | I straced it |
| 09:42.38 | cratos | with what tool? |
| 09:42.41 | johill | strace |
| 09:42.48 | cratos | ok |
| 09:43.07 | johill | open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY) = 3 |
| 09:43.09 | johill | ... |
| 09:43.21 | johill | read(3, "...", 4096) = 128 |
| 09:43.25 | johill | close(3) |
| 09:43.31 | johill | it requests 4096 bytes as you can see |
| 09:43.47 | johill | that's probably a limitation of the C library |
| 09:44.24 | johill | it only uses 8 bytes. ugh |
| 09:44.40 | johill | let me strace it on i386. maybe this is your problem |
| 09:47.06 | johill | nope. same abuse there |
| 09:48.31 | johill | well, I dunno why it works on i386. probably the kernel somehow refreshes it's random pool faster |
| 09:48.47 | johill | btw. the same happens to me on i386 |
| 09:48.56 | johill | real 0m9.193s |
| 09:49.19 | johill | I suppose your i386 just had more work to do |
| 09:49.41 | cratos | Well my Alpha ( the firewall ) also has no real users. my i386 ( file server / Database ) still runs 2.4.x with no users. |
| 09:50.25 | johill | ok, so maybe 2.4.x did something different. I have no idea where the entropy should come from |
| 09:50.34 | johill | in any case, if you fix the program, you shouldn't have a problem |
| 09:50.38 | johill | I can give you a patch if you want |
| 09:51.53 | cratos | No that is fine, I will be on my merry way to find a less greedy password generator. |
| 09:52.01 | johill | yeah. I'll file a bug anyway |
| 09:52.10 | johill | try pwgen |
| 09:52.34 | johill | but it uses /dev/urandom |
| 09:52.41 | cratos | Due to the PKI work that I do I cannot accept a patch that only I use |
| 09:52.47 | johill | so even less guarantees ;) |
| 09:52.57 | johill | oh. I'd file the patch upstream or at least with debian |
| 09:54.03 | cratos | Well I will use my Alpha for a while, and later use apt-get to get the patched version :-) |
| 09:55.34 | cratos | This is really what I like about Linux and open source, help like this is just impossible on other platforms. |
| 09:57.59 | cratos | Thank you very much for your help. |

| 10:13.32 | johill | hm. no, the code isn't really valid there |
| 10:13.51 | cratos | They are also Germans ( in Worms ), bad chipset made echo on USB 2.0 bus and did register there device multiple times ;-) |
| 10:14.07 | cratos | What is wrong with it? |
| 10:14.18 | johill | well, the code reads 8 bytes. but if it only gets 1 it doesn't retry |
| 10:14.22 | johill | I think |
| 10:14.54 | johill | yeah |
| 10:15.08 | johill | it doesn't retry. so if /dev/random gives you a single byte, then the whole random function is bogus |
| 10:15.26 | johill | if the code has more such basic mistakes, I recommend you don't use this tool |
| 10:16.42 | cratos | Ok, I will try pwgen |
| 10:18.00 | johill | there's also makepasswd |
| 10:18.14 | johill | but it's perl |

| 14:02.53 | sktrdie | johill?? I dunno |
| 14:03.14 | johill | who installed your system? |
| 14:03.31 | sktrdie | lol |
| 14:03.32 | sktrdie | me |
| 14:03.40 | sktrdie | I have sarge |
| 14:04.10 | johill | stable :) |
| 14:04.55 | sktrdie | so? |
| 14:05.23 | johill | checking if it can be installed |
| 14:05.47 | johill | you cannot install it in stable |
| 14:05.55 | johill | you'd need to upgrade the whole mono installation too |
| 14:06.25 | sktrdie | johill: ive tried doing apt-get install mono-common |
| 14:06.30 | sktrdie | but nothing really gets isntalled |
| 14:07.38 | johill | you probably need to upgrade to testing |
| 14:07.49 | johill | or unstable |
| 14:07.58 | johill | or check if you can find mono backports |
| 14:11.01 | johill | http://www.apt-get.org/list/?site=775 maybe |
| 14:11.39 | johill | and then the tomboy package from unstable |
| 14:12.20 | sktrdie | you mean my system has to do on the fact that I cant find tomboy? |
| 14:16.29 | demon | the package is apparently in debian unstable, and possibly testing |
| 14:16.35 | demon | but it's not in stable |
| 14:16.44 | demon | and you're running debian stable |

| 14:53.03 | simonrvn | own* |
| 14:56.12 | simonrvn | sktrdie: for testing/etch, you change anything that say stable to testing |
| 14:56.19 | simonrvn | then run an update |
| 14:56.41 | aba | and you don't do that best if you're new |
| 14:59.18 | sktrdie | simonrvn: where do I change... for example I think tomboy is unstable.. how do I change |
| 14:59.50 | simonrvn | /etc/apt/sources.list |
| 14:59.58 | simonrvn | no, don't use unstable |
| 15:00.20 | sktrdie | I just want to use this app |
| 15:01.05 | simonrvn | yes, use testing. if it isn't in testing, it will be |

| 15:02.45 | sktrdie | ok well I've set unstable |
| 15:02.51 | sktrdie | once im done ill go back to stable |
| 15:03.01 | simonrvn | you can't do that |
| 15:03.15 | simonrvn | you'll have to reinstall if you do that |
| 15:03.16 | sktrdie | I know |
| 15:03.26 | sktrdie | isntall what? |
| 15:03.28 | sktrdie | tomboy? |
| 15:03.29 | simonrvn | unstable is very very broken right now |
| 15:03.37 | sktrdie | tomboy is only unstable |
| 15:03.53 | sktrdie | anyway I was wondering how apt works... |
| 15:03.53 | simonrvn | you can go fetch it manually, and install it via dpkg |
| 15:03.58 | sktrdie | I know |
| 15:04.09 | sktrdie | but there are lots of dependency.. and I cant seem ablt to install all |
| 15:04.16 | sktrdie | right now its installing |
| 15:04.16 | demon | yeah, if you really need that one package, just grab the deb and install it with dpkg |
| 15:04.41 | sktrdie | with apt-get right now its isntalling all the dependecy with no prob at all |
| 15:05.19 | sktrdie | btw, apt automatically searches for powerpc binaries? |
| 15:05.52 | sktrdie | I guess when an app is ported to apt it is also made possibile for every architectire |

| 15:16.59 | simonrvn | so hook up an older mac to it ;) |
| 15:17.00 | demon | then that's probably what you'll need to do |
| 15:17.14 | gausus | hmmm |
| 15:17.16 | demon | simonrvn: DB-9 serial, not the mini-DIN (geoport) |
| 15:17.19 | gausus | i have connected via minicom |

| 15:17.58 | gausus | yes |
| 15:18.10 | gausus | sec |
| 15:18.32 | demon | can you get to an OF prompt? I believe sending BREAK a few times should force it to OF (does with Sun OpenBoot boxes anyway) |
| 15:19.33 | gausus | demon: i get various characters |

| 15:20.17 | gausus | demon: exactly |
| 15:20.27 | demon | have you tried different port speeds? |
| 15:21.02 | demon | 8n1 is probably right, that's pretty universal, but perhaps it defaults to a different speed... maybe 19200 or 115200 |

| 15:26.20 | demon | hm... filthy |
| 15:26.39 | demon | might have to enlist a friend's help to do that, as I'm not too handy with a soldering iron :) |
| 15:26.41 | gausus | and what about flow control ? |
| 15:26.47 | gausus | should it be on or off ? |
| 15:26.51 | demon | software flow, most likely |
| 15:26.54 | demon | or none |
| 15:27.16 | gausus | ok |
| 15:27.28 | simonrvn | don't need soldering iron, just a voltimeter |
| 15:28.12 | demon | well, I can find the right pinouts, but I'd still need to wire the two connectors together |
| 15:28.36 | demon | and I can't think of any way of doing that that doesn't require soldering |
