I newly installed Debian 6.0 squeeze on Fujitsu FMV 6200 T5 on 14 Dec and on 15 Dec

The installation to the FMV 6200 T5, a very old PC with Pentium Pro 200MHz, 64MB memory cost much more labour than usual. I tried to install Debian 6.0 squeeze with Debian 6.0 squeeze di-beta2-i386 CD 1 since I had burnt it for my router/server PC’s bootloader trouble. And it doesn’t let me partition LVM(Logical Volume Manager) volumes. di-beta2-i386 netinst CD, neither. (I haven’t examined di-beta2-i386 businesscard) After all, I used 3 floppy disks (diskettes) for the installation with its hdd-installer made on 27 Nov. 2010.

When I tried the CD1 and the netinst CD, partman, the partitioning software on Debian installer doesn’t load LVM support or Encrypted File System support for insufficient memory. In the former case, I found the debug console’s line like “partman: insufficient memory to support LVM…”(Not quote. I haven’t record the log.). I wanted to use LVM. So it is a problem that the partman doesn’t load LVM support.

The FMV has become almost too old even for Debian.

* Mr. Kenshi Muto (武藤健志) and Mr. Yasuhiro Araki (荒木靖宏) of Debian JP project helped me find the problem on the official IRC channel. Thank you very much, Mr. Kenshi Muto and Mr. Yasuhiro Araki.

* I don’t have a USB memory. And my Ubuntu 10.10 PC cannot write anything to diskettes on its floppy disk drive by an error. (The old versions of linux can. I don’t know what the bug is.) So I wrote these diskette images by rawwrtxp.exe on Windows XP.

The 2 diskettes of BG Rescue
It’s a 2FD linux distribution, enabling the FMV to connect my LAN, to set the boot partition for the hdd-installer, and download the installer.
The 1 diskette of GRUB
I saw GRUB 起動ディスク(GRUB kidou disk, GRUB boot disk). I wrote grub-0.97-i386-pc.ext2fs on the diskette. You can download the grub on http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/. BG Rescue includes LILO but I didn’t know that.

I updated this server from Debian 5.0 lenny to Debian 6.0 squeeze.

Although better to wait for the stable release of Debian 6.0 squeeze, I updated the operating system of this server.

Unable to install grub on lenny, I had to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for lilo can read. The edit is like this. (cf. 4.1.6. Prepare initramfs for LILO.)

But the upgrade is succeeded across the board with seeing the Japanese version of Chapter 4. Upgrades from previous releases, although I’m impressed these points.

Oh… I made an entry hard to understand?…

About this entry, some people pointed that my English is bad and that the entry is hard to read.

Kaens on #kokusai-international @ IRC@2ch comments:

12月 02 10:58:44 Kaens any language is made of a pretty limited number of ways you phrase things

12月 02 10:59:05 Kaens the rest just don’t work or sound awkward

(Omitted)

12月 02 11:06:48 Kaens i just stumble again and again over the unexpected grammar and end up slipping over whole phrases :S

I can expect that I would have some problems with my English skill. But I seldom expect a response like “I don’t understand”…

I screamed “The leak of Koan’s secret information of terrorism is leaked” on the Japanese web. And I made the Japanese text first. After that, I started to translate it into English, by editing the original Japanese. Probably, my bad translation skill makes the English text hard to understand…

In the aim of showing foreigners my opinions, it would be better to correct the bad parts of the entry. But I hesitate to correct them since it’s about the leak of the agents’ identities.

The book about the leaked about terror: The court halts its publication. (The Sankei Shimbun, 産経新聞)

“The book about the leaked about terror: The court halts its publication. A Muslim allegates that.” (流出テロ本、出版差し止め決定 イスラム教徒申し立て)(the Sankei Shimbun(産経新聞). There is also the same article on Iza!, the Sankei Shimbun‘s official blog community.)

I added Spy & Terror, a blog having an entry about that news: About the leak of Koan’s Terror data, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department should acknowledge the name list of the investigators.(公安テロ資料流出で警視庁は捜査員名簿を認めるべき), to Des Liends de Emmanuel Chanel my links page.

I got know that news at 22:25 29 Nov., 2010, two hours later, by a chat. Maybe, the leak to the net is more serious. But hearing that the data is sold as a book, I got such a panic that I posted an entry (Japanese) on this blog. So I felt the news good, although it can be misreading.

I added kamyu.net and some DDNS services to my links page.

Kamyu.net is a website about networking and about games. The site owner is a friend known on IRC@2ch. As I’ve posted an entry before,I use his DDNS service. Since I found by seeing this blog’s administration panel that he links his blog to my Japanese blog, I linked Kamyu.net back.

At this chance, I added that and other DDNS services used by me(DynDNS.com, ieServer.Net, and No-IP – Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP.); to Des Liens de Emmanuel Chanel, my links page and made “Networking” category.

Making a category of Ubuntu Linux, I link the websites related to that.

Ubuntu Linux is the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop, based on Debian unstable(sid). I had been interested in Ubuntu Linux for a long time, to install Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat on 11 Oct., 2010 but I haven’t linked the related websites on Des Liens de Emmanuel Chanel, my links page.

I linked the websites with their explanations below.

Ubuntu homepage | Ubuntu
The official website of Ubuntu Linux, the most popular linux distribution nowadays for easy installation, distributed as live CDs. It has a wiki for support.
Ubuntu Forums
The official English forum of Ubuntu Linux.
Ubuntu Europe
The Europe community of Ubuntu Linux. They record the logs of the official channels including #ubuntu and #ubuntu-jp , the Japanese channel on FreeNode, an IRC network.
Home | Ubuntu Japanese Team
The Japanese community of Ubuntu Linux. They distribute their own packages for Japanese on their own repository and the Japanese Remix CD with the packages. You can get supports on its forum. And there’s also a wiki for built-up information.

I link the official website of Mr. Tadanobu Bandou (坂東忠信), the author of “An Interpreting Investigator (通訳捜査官)”

Seeing some blogs referring the Senkaku Islands incident, on one of the blogs, someone introduced Mr. Tadanobu Bandou (坂東忠信)‘s What I Know From the Increase of Foreigners’ Crimes, that seems to have become a mirror of the other blog with a same name on Ameba. I added its RSS feed to Emmanuel Chanel’s Favorite RSS(Japanese) on Iza!, the official blog community of the Sankei Shinbun Newspaper (産経新聞).

Although I read An Interpreting Investigator (通訳捜査官) on a bookstore without buying, I feel it very good that he describes Chinese unrepentant mentality in the sight of a police detective.

通訳捜査官 (Interpreting Investigators) are Continue reading

“Leaked ‘Koan Terror Informations’ Published by Dai-San Shokan(第三書館), Inserting the Real Names and Face Pictures (of the agents)”, a Much More Serious problem than “Senkaku Video Leak”

“Leaked ‘Koan Terror Informations’ Published by Daisan Shokan(第三書館), Inserting the Real Names and Face Pictures (of the agents)” (流出「公安テロ情報」出版 第三書館、実名や顔写真掲載)(the Asahi Shimbun(朝日新聞))

In Japan, hidden by the Senkaku Islands incident between the Chinese “fish boat” and Japan Coast Guard‘s and its leak, there is the big problem that the information of the terrorists and our agents are leaked from the 3rd Foreign Affiars Division of Public Security Bureau(Koan-bu, 公安部) of Keishicho(警視庁), Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

cf. Keishicho Terror Information Scatters 13 countries and areas. Between to Pursue Responsibility and to Save their Credibility, the Police be Torn.(警視庁テロ情報、13の国・地域に拡散 責任追及と信用確保…苦悩する警察)(Iza!, the Sankei Shimbun‘s official blog community.) etc.

This is the much more problem and many famous conservative blogs points so. But it’s hidden by the former problem.

The news is that Dai-San Shokan, of Japanese Red Army, a far left terror group(cf. its Japanese item of Wikipedia and Tsujimoto’s “Cousins” “Bought 31″ at Dai-San Shokan / Hiro-san’s Diary(Added at 13:07 JST)), publishes the information to sell in public. And it will blow Japanese intelligence actions and our agents in addition.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat amd64 on my Linux desktop PC.

I hadn’t installed any other distributions than RedHat/Fedora and Debian to my Linux PCs. But when I tried installing VirtualBox, I did Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to one virtual PC last week. Since I felt that it boots very fast, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 instead of Fedora 13 to my Linux PC.

I want to install the Ubuntu from Live CD. But I use LVM. And I couldn’t use Gparted or so. So I did with alternate CD. Perhaps, when on the Live CD, I should try

/etc/init.d/udev restart

or so on after installing LVM. But I couldn’t think up such way…
