Presque ;-)

Un gros tar ne te permettra pas de profiter de la capacité de rsync à ne copier
que ce qui a changé et tu devras le reconstruire intégralement à chaque fois.

L'idée est plutôt de créer un gros fichier (à toi de déterminer la taille en
fonction de tes besoins) et de le gérer comme s'il s'agissait d'une partition de
disque dur.

J'ai trouvé un tuto qui explique ça (en Anglais) :

solution parfaite :

Vi, mais justement si tu crées bien une « sparse file », tu peux lui
stipuler une taille exagérément grande, genre tout (ou presque)
l'espace dispo sur le NAS, et elle n'occupera réellement que ce qui la
remplit, en grandissant au fur et à mesure...

Plusieurs outils le permettent, genre truncate ou dd, justement. Ça
fait un truc du genre :

dd if=/dev/zero of=/montage_nas/big-file.raw bs=1 count=0 seek=250G

cd /montage_nas

du -sh big-file.raw
0 big-file.raw

du -sh --apparent-size big-file.raw
250.0G big-file.raw


C'est peut-être déjà ça que tu fais ? Faut en tout cas éviter la big
file bourrée de zéro qui occupe de l'espace inutilement...

Oui, ça doit.

Bonjour,

en tant que particulier de l'Union Européenne, le fait de mettre un
GNU/linux à la place de Windows n'annule absolument pas la garantie de
votre appareil.

En fait il faut comprendre qu'il y a 2 garanties :

- la garantie commerciale, optionnelle, offerte par le constructeur.
Cette garantie peut offrir des prestations supplémentaires non prévues
par la loi. C'est cette garantie que le constructeur peut éventuellement
conditionner à l'usage de Windows.

- la garantie légale européenne, de 2 ans (directive 1999/44/CE
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31999L0044:EN:NOT),
obligatoire dan l'Union Européenne. Le constructeur ne peut pas se
soustraire à cette garantie, et si jamais il marquait dans ses
conditions que la garantie légale est annulée si on supprime Windows,
cette clause serait illégale et donc nulle et non avenue.
Ce serait au constructeur de prouver que c'est le fait d'avoir installé
GNU/linux qui fait que la carte mère a grillé, ou qu'un port USB a cessé
de fonctionner, ou que l'écran fait des siennes… Bon courage à lui !

Une explication claire sur le site de la FSF Europe :
http://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.fr.html.

Ceci s'applique également dans le cas où on flasherait son téléphone,
c'est l'exemple qui est donné par la FSFE.

@André : tu peux donc virer ton Windows, tu pourras quand même
bénéficier de la garantie. Par contre selon le constructeur il faudra
peut-être montrer les dents.

Si tu veux être plus tranquille, tu peux aussi prendre un disque dur
externe de taille supérieure ou égale à celle du disque de ton portable
et cloner le disque complet (avec dd, ddrescue ou clonezilla) pour être
sûr de tout avoir (partitions de boot/UEFI, partition de restairation,
partition système…). En cas de problème, si c'est possible tu remets
l'image initiale sur ton disque dur avant de l'envoyer en garantie.

A+

Quelle marque? Les conditions de la garantie varient suivant les 
constructeurs.
Conditions suffisamment vagues pour être interprétées  au détriment de 
l'acheteur. Exemple: ASUS ne sera pas responsable si, à réception, le 
produit s'avère fonctionner normalement ou si le défaut détecté s'avère 
être causé par une mauvaise utilisation, d'une négligence ou d'un 
mauvais entretien, d’une tentative de réparation ou de modification du 
produit, d'une mauvaise installation ou utilisation d'un logiciel tiers

Sí, claro. 

Añadir simplemente que puedes tener instalados los kernels que quieras, 
bien sean precompilados (p. ej., los paquetes .deb que hay en los repos 
de Debian) o bien sea compilando el kernel desde las fuentes con las

Lo único que tienes que hacer es instalar ese paquete para que no

Sí, lo entiendo. Lo que pasa es que eso de ocultarse cual ninja nunca me 
ha terminado de convencer y no por nada sino porque al final siempre se 
puede saber si hay alguien/algo detrás, sea un canal de comunicación, un 
volumen de datos cifrado o una imagen con información.

Por cierto, ya finalicé la encuesta, se hace muy rápido y es amena. Tirón 
de orejas porque el significado de la escala de valores (1-5) desparece 
tras la primera página y no recordaba si era 1 → menos 5 → más.

 Hej!

 Hur gör ni när ni vill köra ett program som ett lokal tjänst (daemon) och få
 denna tjänst att starta varje gång datorn startar om?

 Det finns lite olika alternativ som jag tänkte testa, men vill samtidigt
 kolla här om jag kan få några tips.

 En guide tipsade om att göra en användare som ej går att logga in med,
 placera programmet på lämplig plats, göra en symbolisk länk till
 startskriptet och placera i /etc/init.d/länknamnet, sedan köra
 update-rc.d länknamnet defaults

Så gör jag och det är väl så som också rekommenderas. Debians daemoner
fungerar på detta sätt.


 I nuläget kör jag programmet genom screen på en för just detta program
 dedikerad användare.

Det går väl men är det inte ganska bökigt tycker du?


 Vad tycker ni?

Finns paketet i Debian, installera och kör därifrån. Annars gör som du
skriver ovan med separat (system)användare och init-skript.


Vad är det för program? Om det är publikt åtkomligt via internet ställer
det ju en del krav på säkerhet.

Hej!

Tack för ditt svar. Jo, det är rätt bökigt, men det är inte ofta jag
startar om servern, så det har gått rätt bra.

Det är en VOIP-tjänst som heter Teamspeak 3, så det är en onlinetjänst jag
tillhandahåller åt mina vänner.

Jag har inte tänkt så mycket på säkerheten i just det här fallet, förutom
att jag kör den som en vanlig användare
som inte används till något annat. Men tanken på att köra den som en lokal
daemon istället känns bättre också
ur säkerhetssynpunkt.

Configuração 3 monitores 2 placas de vídeo.

2014-12-09 Thread Paulo Roberto Vieira Brandão
Boa tarde,

Estou tentando configurar um ambiente com 3 monitores e 2 placas de vídeo.
Utilizo:


*Debian JessieGnome 3gdm 3*

Meu hardware e sua instalação:

1 *Samsung SyncMaster 932B* Plus ligado à placa *Intel* Onboard pela saída
VGA
1 *AOC LW98*  e 1 *Samsung SyncMaster 940B* ligado à *GeForce GTX 460* PCI
Express por suas duas saídas DVI

Ativei na BIOS a opção* iGPU + PEG (Dual)*. A única que permite que o lspci
enxergue a placa onboard e a offboard simultanemente. A saída do lspci é a
seguinte:




*lspci | grep -i vga00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)01:00.0 VGA
compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1*)

Drivers do X instalados.
xserver-xorg1:7.7+7
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia   340.46-6
xserver-xorg-video-intel2:2.21.15-2+b2

Instalei o driver proprietário da nvidia e configurei o xorg.conf com 2
devices, 3 screens, 3 monitors e 1 serverlayout.

O xorg.conf vai colado no fim do e-mail.

A máquina inicia com vídeo apenas no monitor ligado à porta on board
(Intel). Quando o GDM é iniciado, os 3 monitores ficam ativos na
configuração estabelecida no ServerLayout, no entanto, só os monitores
ligados à GeForce exibem o conteúdo do GDM (tela de login). O terceiro
monitor (ligado à placa da Intel) fica ativo, com um pequeno traço no canto
superior esquerdo. Eu consigo ir com o ponteiro do Mouse para os três
monitores.

Quando logo no Gnome, a mesma situação aparece. Consigo utilizar o
gerenciador de janelas nos dois monitores da GeForce, mas só consigo ir com
o ponteiro do Mouse para o da Intel.

Ativando a opção Xinerama no ServerLayout para 1, faz com que o X não
levante.
E a MultiGPU On da primeira Screen não possui nenhum efeito, ela é
desligada quando eu olho a configuação pelo nvidia-settings.

Parece ser um problema com o Gerenciador de Janelas administrando mais de
uma Screen com devices diferentes.

Outro problema que não acontece quando a placa da Intel está desativada e
acontece nesse modo é que meu Gnome toda vez que me aproximo de uma borda
de telas da esquerda para direita ele ativa o modo em que vejo todas as
janelas e todos os meus Workspaces. O que atrapalha bastante.

E o Cairo Dock, que normalmente fica invisível, quando passo por cima da
área que era para fazer ele aparecer (parte de baixo do monitor do meio),
aparece também uma barra embaixo com o símbolo do meu dropbox e um botão
para configuração de notificações.

Os monitores da Nvidia aparecem no mesmo WorkSpace.

Gostaria de ter os 3 monitores funcionando da forma que eu trabalho apenas
com 2 da mesma placa. Sem esses problemas das bordas e podendo mover
janelas entre os monitors.


Desde já agradeço à atenção.

Olá!

Só uma suspeita... Tente colocar no xorg.conf apenas a placa 
on-board, se não subir, provavelmente a BIOS não está reservando memória 
para ela. Nesse caso tente ver set tem opção na BIOS para iniciar pela 
placa on-board.


Caso ela suba sozinha e acompanhada não, envie também o 
Xorg.0.log para que possamos analisar melhor o caso.

 Opa,

 Obrigado amigo!
 Foi de grande ajuda.

 De todas as repostas que recebi, a sua foi a mais solícita.

 Vou pesquisar agora se tem como quebrar esse firmware e fazer alterações.

 Desde já muito obrigado.

  tudo bem Henrique, segue modelo do modem que a gvt usa de 35 mega aqui,
 cara as portas a principio não são bloqueadas, mas tem muita coisa que
 tu não consegue mexer , por exemplo, tu não altera o ip da rede local ,
 fica no 192.168.25.1, ridículo, mas e isso, também não consegue
 desabilitar o dhcp , se tu tem outro dhcp server na tua rede, tu vai ter
 que bloquear o dhcp da gvt por regra de firewall, e deixar habilitado
 distribuindo um ip só, foi a solução que encontrei aqui, e só não achei
 nada de dmz nele ,
 Segue um print da pagina inicial dele para você pesquisar pelo modelo.

 Colegas,

 Alguém do grupo possui GVT da velocidade de 35MB? Se sim, qual o
 modem que eles costumam enviar?

 Outra dúvida: Eles costuma bloquear portas baixas, do tipo: 80, 21,
 22 e etc?

 Estou migrando de velocidade, passando para 35Megas e preciso de um
 modem que possua recursos avançados, do tipo que deixe eu mudar a
 range de IPs, desativar o DHCP e que faça uma DMZ para o IP do
 servidor.

 E também preciso que essas portas mencionadas estejam abertas.

 Atualmente tenho GVT de 15MB, com um modem SAGEMCOM que tem todos
 esses recursos e o link não tem nenhuma porta bloqueada.

 No aguardo de informações.

Re: user permission inconsistency

2014-12-09 Thread alex


Ok, I made a big mess in the email: I edited the text (manually) to 
change alex to user. Shame on me.




running the id command without any parameters should show you the
group memberships of your shell.


I *suspect* this is somehow related to systemd-logind (while systemd
is not running as pid 1)

I just added user to group dialout (and astonished not to have to
logout in order to have updated user groups list)


Well - if you run id username, this will update immediately.

But what matters is the group memberships of your *shell* - which it
will get at login-time...


You're perfectly right. Thank you.

A.



Hope this helps

Debian 6 with Sudden GTK application crash @ libGDK

2014-12-09 Thread venkat
Very recently, we migrated from DEBIAN 5(Lenny) to DEBAIN 6(Squeeze). 
Since, our application is based on GTK 2.0 we thought migrating from GTK 
app is pretty easy.


So, as a first step we compiled our application and ran some regressions 
on the system.


Suddenly, we noticed application getting crash @ 
**libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.1**. This leaded system to crash at 
unexpected state.


core sample info:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0xb708bb0c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb708bb0c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

#11 0xb6c94e7e in clone () at 
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/clone.S:130


From the received **CORE** ,we were not able to conclude what is 
causing the exact issue.


So, to fix this issue we ran various trials on the system and found that 
when DEBIAN 5(lenny's) LIBGDK-X11( **libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.11
** ) and LIBGTK-X11 ( **libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.11** ) is used, the 
system does not crash.


However, when we run the system with mention configuration, we notice 
that **XORG** memory is increasing gradually and reaches to **SWAP** in 
hours of time.

Re: Skipping fsck during boot with systemd?

2014-12-09 Thread Frédéric Marchal
Le Monday 08 December 2014 15:40:03, The Wanderer a écrit :
 This thread is about complaints about not being able to interrupt /
 abort / cancel an already-started boot-time fsck.

This thread is about using one's computer quickly after turning it on. An 
unexpected un-interruptible fsck is seen as an obstacle to this.

To summarize the best solution proposed so far, I have to

1) adjust automatic fsck to my taste: tune2fs -c X -i Y /dev/whatever

2) add fsck.mode=skip to the default grub entry.

3) add an entry to the grub menu to run fsck as it used to be (that is without 
the fsck.mode option).

Steps 2 and 3 may be automated with some changes to /etc/grub.d.

To use my computer on any average day, I let it boot without any check using 
the default grub entry. New Debian installs don't check ext partitions at all 
(at least on the computer I'm using right now) so there is no loss of 
functionality.

When I feel the need to check my file system and I have enough time to do so, I 
boot the computer with the alternate boot option. If the file system was 
checked recently, it will just boot as quickly as the default grub option. But 
if it is time to run fsck, it will do so but I don't mind as I knew it was a 
possibility.

That procedure seems perfectly fine to me unless i completely forget about 
running fsck. To this the mountinfo script 
(http://nwalsh.com/hacks/mountinfo/) was proposed by Curt. It is a solution 
but I would prefer a desktop widget for this purpose. If any one is capable of 
creating one, please let me know.

Now, is it possible to run fsck during shutdown? Users have been asking for 
this for at least 10 years. Is it now acceptable, possible, tolerated?

Frederic

 I'm working on defining a heavily customized personal

 Is there any current survey of people actually use computers today?
 My personal usage would be email, web browsing, and some number

 I believe that an appropriate response to the question of the subject

How is typical home computer used today?

So, what is your specified typical home computer?

It is your specification.

Why are you so unwilling to provide the detail;, of what you specify
as typical?

Does such an entity exist?

And, since you refer to the application of statistics, to the matter,
statistically, what is your typical home computer?

Is it a computer with 1.15 computer screens of 18.5 inches diagonal
measurement, with a CPU that has 1.25 cores and 1.75GB RAM, and
Windows 6.66 and a HDD of 2.775 GB capacity, with 0.325 speakers and
0.75 webcams of 0.75MP resolution?

What, exactly, is your statistically typical home computer?

debian on hp probook 640

2014-12-09 Thread Hleb Valoshka
Hallo everybody.

Has anybody any experience with Debian (I'm thinking about Jessy)
installation on  HP ProBook 640? I was unable to google anything
helpful about this book and GNU/Linux, except that HP provides option
to install SUSE on it. So, I hope, there sh'ld be no great problems
with Debian too, but may be somebody has personal experience.

I'm not a list subscriber, please make a CC.

Re: Skipping fsck during boot with systemd?

 unexpected un-interruptible fsck is seen as an obstacle to this.

 To summarize the best solution proposed so far, I have to

 1) adjust automatic fsck to my taste: tune2fs -c X -i Y /dev/whatever

 2) add fsck.mode=skip to the default grub entry.

or 'fastboot'? Is that equivalent?

There's '/etc/fstab' I guess (zero value in the last field and the file

 That procedure seems perfectly fine to me unless i completely forget
about running fsck. To this the mountinfo script (
http://nwalsh.com/hacks/mountinfo/) was proposed by Curt. It is a solution
but I would prefer a desktop widget for this purpose. If any one is capable
of creating one, please let me know.

 Now, is it possible to run fsck during shutdown? Users have been asking
for this for at least 10 years. Is it now acceptable, possible, tolerated?


switch to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-Fn), telinit s, uhm, I mean sytemctl
target=uhm, something-single-user, umount the partition, fsck by hand?

boot drive, of course, is an exercise left to the reader. ;-)

jessie: dpkg-bug #768599

hi,

I get an error when configuring packages during apt-get dist-upgrade

fixed in dpkg 1.17.22 which is currently in unstable).

The error does not re-occur when doing a apt-get -f install
followed by a apt-get dist-upgrade. I guess I don't need to take
further action?

It seems like 1.17.22 won't currently migrate to jessie:

About Testing Freeze and KDE

2014-12-09 Thread B. M.
Hi all,

I'm using Debian since about a year now, so this is my first freeze :-)

How does the freeze work in regard to KDE: currently, many packages are at 
4.14.2, PIM is at 4.14.1 and the latest 4.14 release is 4.14.3

Is it true that the packages will stay at these version numbers, also after the 
release of Jessie? But wouldn't it make sense to upgrade everything to 4.14.3 
since this is the latest and most stable KDE 4 release? Is this impossible 
because it conflicts with the Debian policy?

Thanks and all the best.

 That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Do you mean *before*
 shutdown?

Obviously, during shutdown means during the shutdown process, i.e.,
during the sequence of shutting-down-the-system steps which takes place
in response to a shutdown command.

That sequence already does several things prior to actually shutting
down the system; perhaps most obviously, it tells various services to
stop cleanly, kills other processes, and unmounts filesystems. There
seems as if there should be no conceptual reason why it shouldn't be
possible to add an additional run a fsck step into that sequence,
probably after the unmount and before the final shutdown itself.

...except that fsck of root during the boot process is possible only
because root hasn't been mounted yet, because we're still in the
initramfs and haven't pivoted into the real root yet. So making that
possible during shutdown would probably require setting up another
ramdisk during the shutdown process (which sounds like a bad idea),
pivoting into it, unmounting the original root, and then triggering the
fsck...

All in all, while it *might* be possible, I don't think it sounds like
that would be worth the trouble.

File folder clean up

2014-12-09 Thread B. M.
Hi all,


Short Summary:
How can I find files which parent folders have the same name?


Long version:
For a friend of mine I'm helping with tidying up his files and folders.
What he basically did in the past was copying folders several times like
for (bad) backups... So many files have been copied a few times,
everything was quite a mess.

As a first step I put everything into a new folder tree, modified the
mtimes by some decades to reflect which files should be preferred and
deleted duplicate files using fdupes afterwards, then I deleted all
empty folders.

Now there is the new target folder tree where most of the files are
already correctly sorted in, but there are also the sparse folders
left - i.e. folders where most of the files are already deleted, but
some are still left.

Assuming that at least some of these files are in parent folders with
the same name, do you know any tool which can help in finding them and
moving them around?


Thanks a lot!

All the best.

making it hard to identify witch icon is which program quickly.

You can stop and and hold cursor on an icon (running program
indicator) to see the full text it has, which will identify the
program in most cases or you can click the panel entry and see which
diplayed window iconizes or opens, but it used to be just a glance
would tell you.

Further, some indicators still show the regular icon.  One I notice is
iceweasel. 

I'd like the old behavior back but have no idea how to start digging
into it.

Perhaps it is an icon package or something ...

hopefully someone here will know something about it...

Do you have any articles or blogs or postings you have written that

It was proposed that we do this sometime ago, there's a bug open somewhere

 That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Do you mean *before* shutdown?

It is not a disaster, but you must not do it if the platform reports it is
on battery, or when it is doing an UPS-initiated shutdown, or any other sort
of emergency shutdown.

(UPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply).

So far, so good, that's no show-stopper.  We could make it optional, or we
could implement the gross hacks we already have to detect ups-initiated
shutdowns and skip the fsck-on-shutdown.  We can properly detect laptop on
battery as well in most devices/platforms.

But nobody got around to writing the code.  It is simple as that.

Re: File folder clean up

2014-12-09 Thread Bob Proulx
B. M. wrote:
 Short Summary:
 How can I find files which parent folders have the same name?
 ...
 Assuming that at least some of these files are in parent folders with
 the same name, do you know any tool which can help in finding them and
 moving them around?

The 'find' program is the standard utility to find files.  GNU find
includes a regex (regular expression) extension.  I think it should do
what you want.

  find . -iregex '.*\(.*\)/\1'

Here is a test case I made for your example.

  $ find
  .
  ./aaa
  ./aaa/file1
  ./aaa/ccc
  ./aaa/bbb
  ./aaa/bbb/bbb
  ./aaa/aaa
  ./aaa/aaa/aaa

Running that find command upon it prints:

  find . -iregex '.*\(.*\)/\1'
  ./aaa/bbb/bbb
  ./aaa/aaa
  ./aaa/aaa/aaa

Explanation of the command.  The find command finds files.  Directories
in Unix are simply files.  Special files but files just the same.  The
-iregex option takes a regular expression to match across the entire
path from begining to end.  The 'i' part of iregex is to ignore case.
I assume you would want to search without case ensitivity.

The (...)  part starts a regular expression grouping.  The parens must
be quoted with \(...\) to turn on their magic function since this is
an extended regular expression syntax (ERE) and the default is basic
regular expressions (BRE).  You can read all about regular
expressions, the different engines, and how to use them.  The '.'
matches any single character.  The '*' modifies that to match any
number of characters.  You see '.*' a lot in regular expressions.
Putting it in (.*) matches any number of characters and groups it into
a grouping that can be referenced again later in the expression with a
backreference.  The \1 is a backreference that means whatever was
previously matched in the first (...) grouping.  If there were a \2
that would match the second grouping and so forth.  It feels a little
magical but (.*)/\1 matches anything that is aaa/aaa or /
where the second part is the same as the first part.  The '/' in the
middle matches the directory separator so that the first part and the
second part must be different directories.

Hope that helps,
Bob

In general yes. Depending on how a specific software project handles

it fixes serious bugs, but doesn't touch anything else.

It's also possible for the maintainer to cherry-pick only the

If it's the latest how can you tell it's the most stable? After all, it 
didn't get much testing (yet).

 Is this impossible because it conflicts with the Debian policy?

Nothing is impossible, but any exception granted by the Release Team has 
to be carefully considered, as

1. it might do more harm than good, e.g. by introducing new bugs
2. others will be requesting exceptions as well ;-)

B. M. wrote:
 I'm using Debian since about a year now, so this is my first freeze :-)

When you say using Debian that is not sufficient to really describe
what you are doing.  I use Debian Stable on production servers.  I
also run Debian Unstable for testing and reporting bugs before the
next release.  Others run Debian Testing in order to have a
semi-rolling release.

 How does the freeze work in regard to KDE: currently, many packages
 are at 4.14.2, PIM is at 4.14.1 and the latest 4.14 release is
 4.14.3

You are talking about the latest upstream KDE release.  The latest KDE
release available in Debian is 4.14.2.  But if you are talking about
production releases then we are talking the Debian Stable release.  In
Debian Stable the latest KDE is 4.8.4 released with Debian 7 Wheezy.

Debian is a software distribution.  Software distributors distribute
software from upstream projects into nice bundles for end users such
as you and I to install and use as a single thing.  There are
thousands of upstream projects assembled into Debian.  But in order
for that to happen the package must be packaged for Debian.  That
takes some time and doesn't happen instantaneously.  There is always
some normal lag between packages released upstream and then getting
released in Debian.  And often that is intentional if the upstream
doesn't have anything of significant value the downstream
distributions may wait for the next major release instead.

 Is it true that the packages will stay at these version numbers,
 also after the release of Jessie?

When Debian Jessie is released as Debian Stable then it will be
released.  Nothing will change anymore.  The many Debian Stable users
such as all of my production systems will be planning to upgrade from
the previous production release to the next.  We don't want any more
changes after it has been released!

 But wouldn't it make sense to upgrade everything to 4.14.3 since
 this is the latest and most stable KDE 4 release? Is this impossible
 because it conflicts with the Debian policy?

It conflicts with your choice of release track.  You are currently
tracking Jessie?  The entire purpose of Jessie is to be a release
candidate to become the next Stable release.  As a release candidate
Jessie spends its growing up life learning how to be a release to
Stable when it will graduate and stop being fiddled with further.

If you want to continue tracking the bleeding edge then you should not
be using Jessie.  To track the bleeding edge continuously you would
select Testing or Unstable Sid.  (Sid is the name given to Unstable.
Sid is the kid in Toy Story who tormented the toys.)  If you want to
continue to get upgrades then Testing or Sid is the choice you would
make not Jessie.

So it is your choice.  If you are like me and want production
stability then Debian Stable is the right choice.  If you want to ride
the wave and surf the bleeding edge bits then Testing or Unstable is
the right choice for you.

However!  And this is a big however.  Testing and Unstable are by
definition the release candidates.  Emphasis on candidate.  They
sometimes break.  They sometimes have bugs.  Sometimes bad bugs.  The
bleeding edge is called the bleeding edge because sometimes when
living on the cutting edge of technology you can get cut up on it
and bleed.

Hello,

additionally you can install a graphical interface to do most of the 
find work for you, it is named fslint. I wasted countless hours 
writing a script and reinventing the wheel a few years ago, for a case 
similar to yours, before I discovered fslint.
It doesn't do magic if the files are all written to though, like in my 
case all files were edited at random, and some had been renamed, so 
newer version could be any (checksum + timestamp), or none (merge) of 
them. In those occasion Unison or fslint or plain find can help 
triage things but manual inspection is still often required.


Have fun.

in a way that such image can be used later as a DVD/CD installation
media for 'cloning' on the other comps (or on itself, in case of an

You may want to look at the bootcd package - looks like it will do
what you ask... Or at least similar enough to get you most of the way
there.



Hi,

 Brian you seem to miss a point here, your roundabout solution to

 computing, and have UPS, but even UPS and solar powered batteries
 cannot get the computer to run for ever. If I start booting and fsck
 runs, and I get a power cut, what am I to do ? I can wait with my
 fingers crossed that fsck will complete before I run out of power,
 at which point the system is going to crash badly, or interrupt it
 and shut down more or less cleanly.

GRUB can be told about an upcoming fsck and display a message inviting
you to choose to do it or not. So you get to know about it in advance;
which presumably you didn't know before.

You, as the person best placed, can decide whether the fsck can be
afforded based on the status of the power supply. The ability to
interupt the fsck after a power cut is of dubious value but, assuming
you are aware of your present power reserves and what is drawn from them
by an fsck, you could maybe uncross your fingers.

As a general point, you appear to believe that the consequences

It depends:
- CPU: matters only if different architecture
- GPU: might matter in case you have custom kernel and/or custom Xorg 
  configuration
- RAM: shouldn't matter
- HDD size: if the new HDD is bigger a bit for bit cloning (e.g. using

You should probably provide more details about the installation to be

 It shows empty list. Why?

Short answer: you want '~i!~M' (you don't need the quotes in interactive 
mode).

Long answer:

1. '' doesn't have any special meaning in this case, so you're looking 
for installed packages that contain '' in the name :)

2. ~A is the short version of ?archive (e.g. unstable), not 
?automatic.

You might want to read the aptitude reference manual, section Search

NFS troubles on Suspend

2014-12-09 Thread Ryan Barber
I'm having an issue where NFS hangs after my laptop resumes after suspended
from closing the lid.

The scenario is a fresh Debian Jessie install, which is host to a Debian
7.4 VM using VirtualBox, which is managed by Vagrant.

I'm hoping to get some advice on debugging this. I realize the
Vagrant/VirtualBox complicates things, but I have had a similar setup
working without problems in with a Ubuntu 14.04 host, and so far it feels
like this is a related to the Debian host.

Steps to reproduce:

With a Vagrantfile like this:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = chef/debian-7.4
  config.vm.network private_network, ip: 192.168.33.10
  config.vm.synced_folder test, /mnt/test, nfs: true
end

ssh into guest:

$ vagrant ssh

Change directory shared directory:

vagrant@packer-debian-7:~$ cd /mnt/test/
vagrant@packer-debian-7:/mnt/test$

Suspend and resume by closing laptop lid.

Attempt a directory listing in shared directory from the guest.

vagrant@packer-debian-7:/mnt/test$ ls -al

... and the command will hang.

When I look at the process list, I see that that 'ls' process is stuck in
D/uninterruptible sleep.

Brian you seem to miss a point here, your roundabout solution to
systemd introduced regression implies that when you boot your
computer you get to know in advance if you can afford a fsck to run
on those big data drives. I live in a country with very unreliable
power, and there are quite a few around the planet. We still do
computing, and have UPS, but even UPS and solar powered batteries
cannot get the computer to run for ever. If I start booting and fsck
runs, and I get a power cut, what am I to do ? I can wait with my
fingers crossed that fsck will complete before I run out of power,
at which point the system is going to crash badly, or interrupt it
and shut down more or less cleanly.


GRUB can be told about an upcoming fsck and display a message inviting
you to choose to do it or not. So you get to know about it in advance;
which presumably you didn't know before.


If grub could tell me if I am going to have electricity supply for the 
next coming hours, that could be a workaround. Otherwise it is not a 
substitute to being able to interrupt the fsck.




You, as the person best placed, can decide whether the fsck can be
afforded based on the status of the power supply. The ability to
interupt the fsck after a power cut is of dubious value but, assuming
you are aware of your present power reserves and what is drawn from them
by an fsck, you could maybe uncross your fingers.




You must be living in rainbow pony and candy trees world. To calculate 
the remaining time you need to know how much power is drown by any 
specific drive in the raid array being checked, you need to know if your 
batteries have had time to fully recharge after the last cut, you need 
to know their self-discharge level and the maximum power they can hold 
given their age. You also need to know if more than one array is going 
to be checked during this specific boot, and the power drown by any 
other device sharing the same power source (systemd can send me 
donations if it wants me to have dedicated power backup for every 
appliance and device). All this just because you won't admit that 
systemd took away a feature, and that it is systemd's business to bring 
it back. I am just having fun with you giving my specific use case, to 
see how deep you can entrenched in your denial and fanaticism regarding 
systemd's shortcomings. With friends like you systemd doesn't need enemies.
Jessie won't hold together with tape and flaky excuses for systemd's 
lack of readiness in Debian. So me, (quoting you) as the person best 
placed, can decide wether I want to interrupt fsck or not, and don't 
need systemd to hold my hand and keep me safe just to pathetically try 
to hide the fact that it introduced bugs and regressions. I try systemd, 
fill bugs, try to keep current regarding it's features and sketchy 
documentation, but I admit that the most annoying thing about systemd 
transition isn't its bugs, or its more vocal opponents, but the zealots 
and devil's advocate [1] one have to face with every bit of criticism 
one dare to express toward systemd's shortcomings (see [2] for example 
of shortcomings).

Well, I am one of the participants in the discussion and did not see any

We are merely discussing why it is a good idea to have the option to cancel a 
running fsck. Others are advising to not rely on that but make sure the fsck 
does not start when it is not convenient, my side tries to tell that such an

 Obviously, during shutdown means during the shutdown process, i.e.,
 during the sequence of shutting-down-the-system steps which takes place
 in response to a shutdown command.

 That sequence already does several things prior to actually shutting
 down the system; perhaps most obviously, it tells various services to
 stop cleanly, kills other processes, and unmounts filesystems. There
 seems as if there should be no conceptual reason why it shouldn't be
 possible to add an additional run a fsck step into that sequence,
 probably after the unmount and before the final shutdown itself.
 
 ...except that fsck of root during the boot process is possible only
 because root hasn't been mounted yet, because we're still in the
 initramfs and haven't pivoted into the real root yet. So making that
 possible during shutdown would probably require setting up another
 ramdisk during the shutdown process (which sounds like a bad idea),
 pivoting into it, unmounting the original root, and then triggering the
 fsck...

The partition only need to be remounted read only. if I'm understanding it 
correctly.

That's what /etc/init.d/umountroot does during the shutdown sequence. So 
everything is in place to run fsck just before /etc/rc0.d/K10halt.

Now two questions remain:

1) how to invoke an additional hypothetical /etc/rc0.d/K10fsck on demand?

2) is it wise to run fsck at that time? I have seen strong opposition in the 
past. Mostly turning around the risk that the user would switch the power off 
or the power supply would fail resulting in a damaged partition. As the risk 
seems as high during the boot sequence, I don't understand the opposition.


 All in all, while it *might* be possible, I don't think it sounds like

In the case of regularly failing power it would probably be more often 
inconvenient to run fsck at shutdown. In general when we choose to 
shutdown it is for good reasons I guess, so a long wait may has more 
risk to be a nuisance then than during boot?
But I don't see why we couldn't get a nagging prompt to run fsck at any 
of boot or shutdown time when it's due, with option to cancel it. After 
all I think even Windows gives you this control and allow the user to 
opt-out of a disk check for a short time before starting it (at least 
it's what I remember from the Windows 7 I have used).
In the long run better file-systems and online check may relegate all 
this to the museum of horrors, but in the meantime being able to 
interrupt fsck seems like the best and only option covering all use cases.

Testing needed for xorg-server security update

2014-12-09 Thread Moritz Muehlenhoff
Hi,
there's been a new release of xorg-server fixing multiple security
vulnerabilities: 
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2014-December/002500.html

The update is ready for Wheezy/stable and has been successfully tested 
on an Intel graphics adapter.

But since different hardware will exercise different code paths and
since the backported patches are rather huge in size, so I'd like to
have some additional pre-release testing on people running Debian
stable/wheezy with the nouveau driver or the radeon driver. (Additional
testing with the intel driver would be great as well).

You can fetch the updated packages for i386 and amd64 at 
http://people.debian.org/~jmm/

Since a lot of the changes involve GLX, you could e.g. test with OpenArena
or Nexuiz. Playing games _and_ helping out Debian, when do you ever have 
the chance for that :-)

Please report success or errors to t...@security.debian.org

Cheers,
Moritz

 Thanks for the info and the link. It is helpful.

 However, my iceweasel version is 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1 and Jessie
 currently has 31.2.0esr-3. I see that Iceweasel 34 is only in
 experimental. I will try your work around when it hits testing.

 From what I understand, from what I have found so far, the WebRTC
 thing appears to be implemented as a useable medium, in each of Google
 Chrome, Mozilla Firefox (v34) and Opera for Android (but, from what I
 have found so far, the facility in Opera, is available for only
 Android cellphones, and, not for desktop or laptop / notebook
 computers, as I have tried without success, to find how to implement
 it in Opera v26, running on a laptop / notebook computer.

 I think that this Web RTC thing, is something that requires further
 investigation (and, trying to find other people with whom to
 experiment in terms of trying to connect using the medium, like I did
 with Ekiga and Linphone, before I gave up on them as being unworkable)

Where I refer to Debian 7, below, it is the amd64 version.

The iceweasel that I have installed on Debian 7, apparently does not
include, in the about:config, the variable loop.throttled (see
http://askubuntu.com/questions/556102/no-hello-icon-in-firefox-34 )
 and so, appears to be not compatible with WebRTC.

In the version of SeaMonkey, that I have installed on Debian 7, the
same applies (I thought that I should try to do it in SeaMonkey, in
case that would work).

I can not find how to enable WebRTC in Opera, for either Debian Linux,
or for MS Windows 8.x.

I have, however, apparently managed, by following the instructions at
http://askubuntu.com/questions/556102/no-hello-icon-in-firefox-34
 to get WebRTC enabled in the version of Firefox, that is installed on
a MS Windows 8.1 system.

Thus, it appears (to me) that WebRTC is available for MS Windows 8.1,
via Firefox, but, not for Debian Linux 7 amd64.
