disabled system speaker: how to enable?

disabled system speaker: how to enable?

[James Miller]

We recently installed Gentoo Linux on a laptop, which went successfully
for the most part.  The Gentoo install seems to run from a ramdisk Linux
version, and it includes things like the links browser so you can go
online during the install to check documentation.  We also installed an
application there that used the console beep (a chat client) to keep in
touch with someone during the install.  The system speaker/console beep on
the machine worked fine at this stage, and would beep as it was supposed
to when someone would send a message.  On the installed system, however,
the console beep/system speaker is not working.  It doesn't work in the
chat client, and issuing | echo -e "\a" | doesn't make the system speaker
beep either (no error responses or anything, just a blank line like it's
trying to ring the system bell, then a return to bash prompt).  This is
the 2.6 kernel, btw.  So, what could the problem be?  Should we have maybe
enabled console beep when we compiled the kernel or something?  Any other
things I could check/implement to get it working?

Thanks, James

you should have these lines in your kernel .config

CONFIG_INPUT_MISC=y
CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=y

Debian network reconfigure

[jamtat]

I've tried various things I can think of on a Debian system and 
searched the web a bit for information, but I'm still at a loss.  I've 
moved a Debian machine that was on a dhcp network to a network that uses 
static addressing.  I was hoping there is a way to rerun the network 
setup dialogue so that I can assign eth0 a static address and tell it where 
the gateway is.  Is there a way to rerun it?  If so, where and how?

Thanks, James

I don't know offhand, though it is a good goess that there is some 
"dpkg-reconfigure" command that will do what you want. The fact that this 
setup is part of a install makes it a bit complicated.

The easy solution, though, is to hand edit (using vi, emacs, or whatever 
text processor you like) the file /etc/network/interfaces to remove the 
DHCP assignment and replace it with a static address. A sample stanza for 
this (taken from one of my workstations) is:

         auto eth0
         # comment out next line to remove DHCP assignment
         #iface eth0 inet dhcp
         iface eth0 inet static
                         address 192.168.1.1
                         netmask 255.255.255.0
                         network 192.168.1.0
                         broadcast 192.168.1.255
                         gateway 192.168.1.86

All the networking setup program does is provide a front-end to editing 
this file.

So edit it, then run ...

         /etc/init.d/networking restart

... and you should be set.

Do all this as root, of course.

I was trying to guess at just some such thing - dpkg-reconfigure
myguesshere - but my missed guesses were leading only to frustration.

Thanks for the tip, Ray.  I wanted to do something like this from the
start, but I thought I should try whatever automated avenues the system
might offer for it first.  I never quite know when to start editing
manually and when to rely on some sort of wizard thingy.  Anyway, I've
edited the file accordingly so I should be set.

Appreciate it, James

starting and stopping networking

[James Miller]

Lemme see if I can frame this question coherently.  I've got a Debian Sid
machine on a LAN behind a firewalling router (router does dhcp offers,
too).  That router's acting really flaky (it was given to me as a freebie
because it was acting flaky).  I'm thinking of just hooking that machine
directly to the 'net (university network) for the next week or so while
await the arrival of a router that works normally.  Of course I don't wish
for the machine to be on the WAN unprotected.  At the same time, I don't
want to install a firewall on it because that could complicate setting up
the LAN, once the normally-operating router/firewall arrives.  What I'm
thinking of doing is maybe creating a script that will start/stop network
services and make a dhcp request, that could be run in the interim while
I'm awaiting the new router.  In other words, I would stop networking when
I'm not actively doing something on the 'net, restart it when I need to do
something on the 'net.  So my basic question is: how do I stop networking
services on Debian Sid (I know how on Slackware, but Debian differs)?
How do I restart them later, and send a new dhcp request at the same time?
Any input on my interim networking method for this machine would be
appreciated, as would pointers for accomplishing what I've outlined above,
if that proves advisable/feasible.

Thanks, James

ifconfig eth0 down seems to stop the connection alright.  ifconfig eth0 up
just brings up the previous configuration, though.  It doesn't seem to
make a new dhcp request, which I think really needs to happen.  Anyway, no
traffic goes to/comes from the 'net after I do ifconfig eth0 down, then
ifconfig eth0 up.  You guessed right, btw, that eth0 is the connection to
the 'net.  Anyone else care to take a shot?

Re: starting and stopping networking

[Jacob Langley]

James,

I've never used Debian.  I did use Slackware for a long time and now I'm
a Gentoo user.  I would look for the networking init script that starts
your networking on boot in /etc/init.d and use that to start or stop the
networking.  Otherwise I'd look for the dhcp client that debian uses.  I
know RedHat used dhclient and gentoo and slack used dhcpcd.  You'd need
to re-run that client when you bring the networking back up (to reset
your IP address and wshat not.)  You may have problems with that if the
the client stays up continuously even when you do an ifconfig eth0 down.

Hope that helps.
Jacob

my slack 9.0 has the following lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 for
bringing up dhcp

  if [ ! "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" = "" ]; then
    DHCP_HOSTNAME="-h $DHCP_HOSTNAME"
  fi
  /sbin/dhcpcd -t 10 ${DHCP_HOSTNAME} -d eth0

where DHCP_HOSTNAME is the host name of the DHCP server

Hope it helps a bit :-)

Well, not a whole lot.  If I were using Slack, I would just do 
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 stop and /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 start.  I guess I'm trying 
to find out what is the equivalent on Debian.  I'll root through the /etc 
directory some more and see if I can figure out anything.

Ok.  Taking Jacob's suggestion, I rooted arund in /etc/init.d and found a
file caled "networking."  Looking over its contents, I decided the
relevant commands for stopping/starting networking on this Debian host are
"ifdown -a" and "ifup -a", respectively.  Just tried it and it seems to
work.  Have I stumbled onto the defnitive solution to my short term
problem?

One that will serve, at least. Even simpler would be to run (as root, of 
course)

         /etc/init.d/networking stop
         /etc/init.d/networking start

BTW, if you take networking down and later restart it, getting the same 
DHCP lease would not be all that amazing ... especially if the DHCP server 
assigns long lease lives (the lease itself may still be good, and both your 
host and the dhcp server would remember that).

Because it won't work.

What distribution are you basing this suggestion on? Not Debian-Sid, I 
think ... I've never heard of it, and I just tried it on one of my systems 
and found that "serv"+TAB offer me no completion possibilities.

Re: starting and stopping networking

[Alan Bort]

/sbin/service, I know it doesn't work in SuSE, I never used Debian, I am
basing this on redhat-like distributions.

Right. Just to be clear, normal Debian installs do not include 
/sbin/service . The app name is too generic for a reasonable search of the 
Debian package database, but I'd bet it is something peculiar to Red Hat 
and a few of its close derivatives ... but not SuSE, Debian, or Slackware, 
the three main distros, these days, with no roots in Red Hat.

Remember that the original question in this thread was specific to 
Debian-Sid, posed by someone whose prior experience was with Slackware.

There should be a tool to manage system services, for example, when you
run apache as standalone, you can do 'service apache stop'. I'll ask a
few debian gurus over here and post any idea they give me.

Sorry.

Re: starting and stopping networking

[Juan Facundo Suárez]

Hi, i have used debian almost two years, woody and sid. Debian don't uses
service xxxx start/stop. It was my first trouble migrating from mandrake.
Instead, debian uses /etc/init.d/xxx start/stop. For example, in
redhat/mandrake, to run apache was: service apache start, in debian:
/etc/init.d/apache start.

And, /etc/init.d/networking start/stop, was what i used to get up and down
my network interfaces. Allways worked for me.
