Debian Configuration :: Where Hard-disk Power Management Can Be Found In Squeeze
Feb 19, 2010
I am trying to figure out where the harddisk power management can be found in Squeeze. Before it was in the scripts under /etc/acpi, but in Squeeze it's not. I'd like to be able to change the hdparm -B value from 128 to 200 when using battery.

I disable that from the gnome power management utility screen go black after 10 minute. It's very annoying since I cannot watch a movie in that way!

Just loaded Squeeze (KDE) onto a partition on my desktop and am a bit alarmed by the disk thrashing thats going on? Damn light on constantly. if I didn't know better I'd think I was using Vista. Is this something to do with 'nepomukservices' that seems to be taking a fair amount of cpu time? Not used to KDE 4 so maybe this is normal.

Having trouble installing 'Squeeze' 6.0.1a-amd64-netinst on a new AMD64 system.The installer boots and runs fine until it gets to hard disk detection. Then it hangs for about 20 minutes showing a blue screen, during which time the HDD-activity light flickers every 5 seconds. Eventually it says it can't detect a hard disk, and displays a (longish) list of possible drivers; no idea which, if any, would suit.Anyone else installed (successfully or otherwise) on this combo?

Is there a decent hard disk management apt . you see when i started using ubuntu i specified 2 gigs for ext filesystem drive because at that time windows was my basic OS . but now ubuntu became almost my only OS , so i wanna cut out like 20 gigs of the ntfs windows drive and add them to ubuntu's filesystem without removing or formating neither OS's or drives is there a software that can do that ?

I've bought a new notebook. The hard drive won't stop spinning down and then spinning up again during load. I don't want HD power saving, so I disabled it within
1. /etc/hdparm.conf
Code: Select all# -B apm setting
apm = 255
# -B apm setting when on battery
apm_battery = 255
It didn't work. I can still hear the HD spin up. It's annoying in a video game because things just suddenly stop for a second.
2. /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules
Code: Select allACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/hdparm -B 255 -S 0 /dev/sda"
This was also every tip I could find during RTFM.
Other specs:
Acer Aspire E5-521G-88A8 Notebook
AMD A8-6410 APU
4 GB RAM
AMD Radeon R5 2 GB VRAM
hdparm model number: ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB

I recently converted a Toshiba Satellite A75 notebook with a broken screen into a minecraft server that me and my friends will be using at UAB. It's currently running the latest version of Debian in text-mode with a few shell scripts that backup files and update a webpage at specified times.
The server runs fantastic ( though it's currently on my home network so no one can join it unless they are on LAN ) but there is a minor problem. I took a look at the backups from last night and it seems the server shut down around 10:00 in the morning because the laptop went into sleep/hibernate mode or something like that. I'm not sure what's causing this exactly but I think it's some setting in gnome-power-manager, but I can't run it in text mode.

I have recently upgraded the hardware of my zenbook from i5 to i7. Unfortunately the battery discharges very fast (30 min instead 3 h with i5) because the system turns all time at maximum speed (I guess).
Is there any power management update for Debian Jessie8.3 on i7 processors?

I'm running Squeeze with Gnome & GDM3. After 1 h my laptop automatically suspends while in the login screen (GDM3; so no user login). I want to prevent that, since this machine also has a server role. how this can be prevented?

On a fresh install of Debian 8 with XFCE (with a NVIDIA GeForce 210 according to lspci, and a P7P55D Asus mainboard), I just added a second monitor. This second monitor does not switches off even though the first one does due to the Screensaver Preferences → Advanced → Off After 3 minutes.
The new screen is a HP Pavilion 25xw plugged in using a HDMI cord.
The old screen is a Philips 190S plugged in using a VGA cord.
The new screen (HP on HDMI) only goes blank when the old one (Philips VGA) turns off.
Two tests:
- on the same machine, I also have Windows XP: both screens turns off at the same time with the power management.
- I tried on Debian: Code: Select allsleep 5 && xrandr --output HDMI-1 –off
It turns off the second monitor, so I know that it is possible to turn it off from my Debian.
How to set up the system so that both monitors power off when the machine is not used?

Ubuntu has been very good for us, fast, small foot print, But just yesterday it decided not to boot up. It gets to the login screen, and shows a warning... "Install problem, the Gnome power management configuration installed incorrectly, contact your administrator" What can I do to free this up?

On the last release, I had this app installed where I could pick my power profile. I could use power conservatively, and performance would suffer a bit, but longer batt life,or I could have it automatically detect, or I could have the apps use all the power they want and then some. I'm looking to reinstall that app. What was the name of it?I can't remember, and so far, can't find.

When installing squeeze from either a dvd or cd (i've burned loads to see if it was the problem) my computer goes through the installation, until the dreaded step of "selecting and installing software" where the installation stops, and my computer turns itself off because of a kill signal sent to everything. I've tried booting with fb=false, and for some reason acpi=off, and neither of them solved the problem (acpi=off caused my laptop to turn off unexpectedly earlier) (HP 6735s, AMD64 using Turion X2, 4GB Ram)

as far as i know Debian "Squeeze" has a disk check utility, but you can't run this on a mounted filesystem. Is there a way to trigger this during boot (before filesystem is mounted) ? I can run this once a month to keep filesystem healthy....

I'm running ubuntu from a usb currently. However, when I try to install it, it looks for the root disk on step 4 of the installation, and nothing is shown. I can't go on with the installation since I can't select a disk to install to.
I'm on an hp pavillion laptop.
By the way, windows vista is installed but won't currently boot. Don't know why. Is it probably a problem with the hard disk (the cause of both issues)

I have installed vmware in windows server 2003 enterprise edition. When I installed I changed the default installation folder from c: drive to i: drive, as I do not have space in c: drive. After I captured red hat linux cd in vmware and reached partitioning section and continued I got a message like "an error has occured no valid devices were find on which to create new file systems, please check the hardware for the cause of the problem". The machine is IBM server....

We have an Apache Subversion (http) server for hosting our codes, and, for the 3 next month, we are behind a DSL connection (max upload 100 kB/s).
When a remote co-worker try to download a new fresh copy of our projects on his computer directly over http, the transfer goes fine : with a bandwidth monitor (gnome-system-monitor or bwm-ng) we can see that the server is trying to send ~95kB/s and the connection remains usable for others task in parallel (just a bit slower, which is normal).
But : when the remote co-worker is connected through SSH to this server, and uses tunneling to communicate with Apache Subversion, the server is sending more than 200kB/s : the connection is not usable for other tasks during the transfer as with ~102kB/s actually transferred through the DSL Line, it's completely congested and more than fifty percents of the packets are lost.
I think that I understand why : TCP/IP auto-detects the max amount of successfully transmitted bytes per second, and try not send more than this maximum value.
When the Apache server is connected to the local instance of openssh-server through localhost, packets are transmitted successfully between them. Only after, openssh-server try to send it to the client (and should retry if it's not successfull) but during that time, Apache is already giving the next one... giving this saturation effect (Apache is not aware of the saturation, or at least, not enough)

I have a set of vm's with stable, testing, and sid to keep track of how things are going. When I did an apt-get dist-upgrade with squeeze last week, things seemed to OK (350 package updates) until the end. It didn't seem to like and / or was confused by a kernel dependency.
I am not too concerned yet. Because these are in vm's, I do a snapshot before any significant change. I can futz around with impunity because I have that backup.
I re-booted, and tried the apt-get dist-upgrade again with same results. I think I also tried apt-get -f install.
So I reverted to the snapshot, and will simply try again in the future. I recall that with lenny as testing, the font-desktop was really screwed up for about a period of 6 weeks.
However, just in case someone else runs into this:
1) a re-boot worked, but the failure of apt-get made me nervous enough to revert.
2) waiting for corrections has seemed to work in the past (with a single exception with a 4-disk SCSI software RAID10 update that failed to re-boot lenny successfully after what seemed to be a minor update -- that was on a real system, not a vm. I haven't gotten back to look at that.)

I'm attempting to dual boot my computer with Slackware, Debian and Windows. I've installed Lilo to the mbr from Slackware, i've edited my lilo.conf file so I can boot Debian. When I boot debian though, it says it's boot kernel 2.6.37 which is the slackware kernael it fails to load the modules. I think my problem is in the lilo.conf file in the debian line, "image = /boot/vmlinuz", if I've understood correctly I should put the debian kernals name after that line, I've done as I saw on the internet, but it comes up with, "kernel can not be found" or something similar to that. I think it's looking for it in a slackware directory. Is there a place on the debian dvds (i've all eight) I can get the kernel?

I recently just installed Squeeze on an ia64 system and was having some troubles with running VNC.I get the following error, more specifically for some reason I get a malloc - memory corruption error:
Xtightvnc(9165): unaligned access to 0x60000000001ea06c, ip=0x4000000000268280
Xtightvnc(9165): unaligned access to 0x60000000001ea074, ip=0x4000000000268280
Xtightvnc(9165): unaligned access to 0x60000000001ea07c, ip=0x4000000000268280
Xtightvnc(9165): unaligned access to 0x60000000001ea084, ip=0x4000000000268280
[code]...
After display all the code above, it just stops. The port 5901 is still closed - if it runs properly, would it open automatically?Is there something that is incompatible? Or am I missing some system configuration component?

I was going to try out Squeeze on my ibook so I downloaded one of the weekly snapshots of the netinstall image and booted the installer. The installer was unable to recognize the ethernet card of my ibook which I found odd since I have used Lenny in the past without having any problems. Does anyone know if this is a bug in the installer or has firmware for my ethernet card been dropped from Squeeze? I searched around and couldn't find any bugs that were specific to PPC with this installer. It is not a deal breaker as I can just install Lenny and then dist upgrade to Squeeze,

how to install Dropbox for Debian Squeeze from source.Please read everything before you begin. I prepared it as I installed Dropbox for my own system. Please Note: I use sudo, you may have to use root or 'su' from the command line. If you don't know the difference between sudo and su, then you shouldn't try this until you know. At the time I did this, the lastest dropbox version was 0.6.7.

I installed Firestarter firewall on debian Squeeze.Now i note there is a gui available in System->Administration which apparently does not need to be running all the time - its not set up to start on boot.When I boot I notice the boot message has a line saying "Starting Firestarter firewall .... failed"When I am logged in and type "/etc/init.d/firestarter status" as the Firestarter FAQs say, I get"Firestarter is running... ... (warning)"I can run the gui manually and still same message.
