I use the 2.6.38-2 debian kernel installed from experimental. The task grouping is disabled by default, can be enabled with

sysctl kernel.sched_autogroup_enabled=1

No need to compile. You can put that line in /etc/sysctl.conf.
Doesn't work.

kernel variable sysctl kernel.sched_autogroup_enabled ...

I would look at rsync. If you are looking for software with features like robocopy, that is probably your best bet.

I would think that if /var/log/lastlog has been rotated then it will be unable to track anything further back than the last rotation :wink: I'm thinking he may be running into some other problems if that file has been rotated: NOTE
The lastlog file is a database which contains info on the last ...

i think the type of users referred to above by penpen would be the users whose ids are less than 1000. oh duh :lol: how could I have forgotten that.
It seems there are exceptions to even the most basic conventions, though: nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/bin/false still, it'd be easy enough to ...

There's probably a number of ways you could do this, but I would advise taking a few precautions before running a script to do this, primarily because on most linux systems there are a number of user accounts created that never log in because they're not meant to. They're usually indicated by a /bin ...

When connecting to the system via an ssh terminal (without X), is it slow to connect? SSH can be slow in some configurations when it attempts to resolve DNS for a host that would not show up in a DNS server.

If it is slow to respond via a normal terminal, the most basic fix I've seen for this issue ...

you could probably just map the keys (either in x or editing the keymap directly) so that the number keys behave in the way you expect. after all, who actually looks at a keyboard when typing? certainly not a "real debian user"

.bashrc and .bash_profile should be used anytime a user initiates a shell using /bin/bash. if you simply type "bash" in the shell, are the commands run? What is mythtv's default shell listed as in /etc/passwd (this should be the last entry on the line for that user)? for example: penpen:x:1000:1005 ...

My issue with gdm is not so much that I think it is a memory hog (I don't really think any of the DMs are very memory intensive), but I think it would be nice to be able to sanely launch X or a shell from the same login manager. I also don't like having to navigate gdm when I don't have a mouse.

Feature Request : before doing a chown /, make the person administering the command type: I hope by making you type this line, you realize you are half asleep and are entering commands you wish you didn't want to lol
One could easily write a shell script to do this locally. A simple way to ...

Forgive my ignorance bluesdog, but I don't see how installing a vesa driver is going to help with the issue I have by Xorg not starting up with .xinitrc in my ~/ , even when .xinitrc is empty ... If it will work with vesa, that indicates a problem with the nvidia driver. Troubleshooting issues ...

I think every gcc-compiled program will have a reference to this. It
is declared weak and called at startup if it is defined. See this
patch and associated commentary:
The best way to avoid any kind of infection is to only download packages from trusted sources. Your comparison is completely ...

As far as I'm aware, the recovery cd which comes bundled with most netbooks is drivers and software designed for Windows (or in some cases, to allow you to access the recovery partition on the hard disk) I don't really see how this question is related to Debian other than the fact that you happened ...

I've been looking for a nice console-based alternative to *dm. I had pretty much resigned myself to just logging in at the console and typing startx. I'll have to give it some testing when I get some free time.

It will depend on which hardware raid controller is installed in the system. Since it's an R410, is it a PERC? Most of those controllers shouldn't have any issues with Debian since they use the megaraid_sas module or something similar. However, since you say GRUB doesn't show up, I would guess the ...

I recently purchased a 1005HA and I gotta say I've been pretty pleased with it. It's going to be a christmas gift for someone not quite so tech-savvy, and I chose to install Windows XP on it. I can't attest for how well it will run Debian, but it handles XP pretty well.

The only thing I don't like ...

Huh?

I don't know if this is possible, but if you got creative with your threadmaking, you could achieve something similar using only the features already available in the forum. For example,

Nah, you can still use DHCP on eth0 with your router, while assigning static IP addresses on eth1. In my opinion, for a simple connection like this, it makes a lot more sense than having to install a DHCP server on one of the systems so that one other system can get a DHCP lease from a connection ...
