A large portion of those error messages (probably the vast majority on most systems) will be from applications such as kmail and chromium which can be run from a terminal. To solve the problem of excess error messages you could run all such programs separately to identify their logs and then after those are identified (and hopefully fixed) the rest would be known to be due to the desktop environment. The messages which are known to be due to the desktop environment can have bugs reported against a meta-package for KDE, GNOME, or whatever desktop environment is in use and whoever maintains that will be well qualified to triage them. It's not the DD's responsibility to determine the source of a random error message. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

usb3 device not detected on boot
by James Harper 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

When I boot my server one of my usb3 disks is consistently not detected. Unplugging it and plugging it back in again forces detection and it works correctly thereafter, but this requires me to be there to do it... I can see the device in sys, and have tried removing it (echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-4/remove) and dmesg says that the device is redetected again: [58372.630911] usb 3-4: USB disconnect, device number 5 [58372.956506] hub 2-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4 [58373.196541] usb 3-4: new SuperSpeed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd [58373.212456] usb 3-4: Parent hub missing LPM exit latency info. Power management will be impacted.

Power management will be impacted.

Is there a way to turn the port off completely and then back on again so I can simulate an unplug/plug event a bit better? I've tried the various power/control and power/level files in /sys but nothing seems to work. Replacing the USB3 card is on the agenda but I'm looking for a workaround in the interim. USB3 adapter is 1106:3432 USB controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VL80x xHCI USB 3.0 Controller (rev 02) Thanks James

bcache hits mainstream kernel
by Toby Corkindale 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

I can't be the only one who's been waiting for the bcache stuff to hit mainstream kernels. I rebooted into a stable 3.10 kernel yesterday. Due to the requirement to reformat disks, I haven't started using bcache yet. Is anyone else here already onto it? I'd be curious to hear how it compares to the zfs+l2arc setup some of us have been using previously. bcache.txt from the linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/bcache.txt Cheers, Toby

Re: pips-common in wheezy

Craig said > escputil - maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers Package: escputil Source: gutenprint Version: 5.2.9-1 Description-en: maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers escputil is a utility to clean and align the heads of Epson Stylus printers. It can also check the current ink levels in the printer. . Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. Gutenprint was formerly known as Gimp-Print. >Given that the description mentions Gutenprint, I'd guess that it >probably requires you to be using the printer-driver-gutenprint driver >(as mentioned in my last post). if you're not already using it, you'd >have to install it to get this to work. This utilty will work without Gutenprint (it used to anyway, its been a while since I used it), it communicates directly with the port in which the printer is connected. I mainly use it to clean the print heads and to check the ink levels in an Stylus Photo R1800. It absolutely dirnks ink during the cleaning process. Lindsay

fast 3G/4G upload
by Russell Coker 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

A client has a problem with a device that generates data faster than it's 3G modem can upload it. Is there a good LTE AKA 4G modem that can connect to a Linux system? Can you run two 3G modems next to each other and expect that each of them will get full bandwidth? Or will they interfere with each other in some way? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
