I uninstalled OpenMediaVault (because totally overkill for me) and replaced it with borgbackup and rsync

[Jason]

Hi

I was a user of OpenMediaVault for several years. I even donated money 
to the developer.


But very provocatively OpenMediaVault is bloatware, way too big. The 
only thing I need is a reliable backup.


I had pure Debian (minimal installation, very few packages) installed 
with borgbackup and rsync.


I am now very satisfied, much more streamlined than OpenMediaVault.

Am I wrong, are my statements completely off?

Or how does your backup look like?

cheers
Jason

Thanks for reply. Well, actually what I try to do is to keep an emacs 
daemon in the background. Whenever I finished editing, I would delete 
the frame while keeping the emacs running as daemon in the background. 
And next time when I wish to edit anything, I would use the emacsclient 
command in the terminal. `emacsclient -c -a ""` somehow does the work, 
but it occupies the terminal until the new emacsclient frame is killed, 
and that is the reason why I added the `-n` flag.

What exactly are you trying to do?

The customary way to run emacs is to have it open on your desktop. Edit
away. Leave it open so you can come back to it. You generally shouldn't
have more than one emacs process per user.

Having set up to use emacsclient, you (or more likely, programs
you use such as a mail reader) can then call emacsclient so you can then
edit files from that program in emacs. If you do it that way, you don't
get (or need) an instance of emacs in daemon mode.

You may try to add explicit option --display="$DISPLAY" (I am unsure 
concerning WAYLANDDISPLAY and pgtk emacs builds). Its effect is a bit 
different from standard X11 -display option and it is a reason why it is 
used in emacs .desktop files

However I have not tried emacs-29 and it may have new bugs.

In this case, on my system, the file in question begins with a comment
that includes the following lines:

# Entries in this file show the compile time defaults.
# You can change settings by editing this file.
# Defaults can be restored by simply deleting this file.

In other words: the commented-out entries are present to document both
what the available configuration settings are, and what values will be
used for those settings if you do not set them to something else.

Leaving them commented does not set them, so unless they are somehow set
elsewhere, that means that the value shown in the comment will be used.

(Assuming that the component which handles those settings is going to
run at all, that is. As has been suggested, masking / etc. the
appropriate service would probably prevent that.)

Tom, does your version of that file not include a comment with that same
information?

You need an emacs process running in order to use emacsclient. It need
not be a daemon. -a="" will launch a daemon process if there isn't a
process already running, daemon or otherwise.

I think the main distinction between daemon and non-daemon is that in
daemon mode emacs may be running as a background task waiting for
connections over a socket, and with nothing on the display. Non-daemon
mode always has something on the display, even if minimized.

So, basically, yes. The technical writer's demand for precise language
came out.

According to your link and what I do myself I think you need to have a
daemon running. And emacsclient -a="" launches it if it's missing.

Hi, Yizhen. I don't have experience with emacs, am just chiming in to
rule out a long shot causative. Do you type that command by hand or
maybe arrow up and down through existing terminal history to find that
same line to reuse it all the time?

Or do you copy that line off of something that might not be using plain text?

The reason I ask is that on rare occasions, copy-and-pasting from
something like an Internet webpage or an advanced features text editor
can unintentionally introduce funky (fancy "curly") quotation marks
and parentheses [0]. Those curly things can break scripts because a
terminal can and will interpret curlies as a separate character from
the "straight" ones.

How a terminal can interpret those differently, I don't know. I just
know firsthand that it can and does. I once spent MANY HOURS fighting
a compiling failure or similar over this very thing. I finally
stumbled upon the difference in those marks' appearances when two
lines were visually different lengths in my terminal window.

The difference in my case was that I had copied a command off the
Internet and then manually retyped it later while trying to
personalize the affected command to fit my setup.

Note: The additional reason I stepped out here to ask is because those
quotation marks are in front of that "-n" [flag]. It comes to mind to
think that curly quotes could possibly mangle a flag following them,
but a terminal command could simply ignore curlies when nothing comes
after them. Hope that rationale makes at least a little sense. It does
"BKAC" (between keyboard and chair).

Afterthought: The reason something like curly quotes might suddenly
become an issue after years of no problems is that our operating
systems' code is getting "tighter" every year, i.e. less forgiving of
things that really shouldn't have ever worked in the first place.
That's a good thing that reflects on how Developers are perennially
honing their combined skills while presenting the most dependable
software packages possible... at any given nanosecond in Time.

What exactly are you trying to do?

The customary way to run emacs is to have it open on your desktop. Edit
away. Leave it open so you can come back to it. You generally shouldn't
have more than one emacs process per user.

Having set up to use emacsclient, you (or more likely, programs
you use such as a mail reader) can then call emacsclient so you can then
edit files from that program in emacs. If you do it that way, you don't
get (or need) an instance of emacs in daemon mode.

Emacsclient bug in sid

[Wang Yizhen]

Dear Debian-user group:


I recently noticed a bug for the emacs package in sid. I have not 
reported a bug before, so I wrote this email to seek for help.



After upgraded to emacs 29.1+1-5, I found that the emacsclient command 
is not working. More specifically, the following command hangs emacs in 
daemon forever and no emacs frame pops up:



```

emacsclient -c -a "" -n

```


However, `emacsclient -c -a ""` summons the emacs frame properly 
although it occupies the terminal.



Thanks for your help.


Best regards,

Yizhen

Take care, commenting may NOT be the same as disabling/setting to NO !

Each software has its own rules, but _usually_ when you comment out the 
lines, the app built-in defaults will be used (like openssh).
Systemd behaves like that, at least that's what I observed after 
commenting out the NTP server lines of systemd-timesync.


You should uncomment and specify NO like what Michel Verdier posted.
Ofc, if the units are masked/disabled, I guess those values are not 
used/read.

But you never know, so belts and suspenders !

Re: Mise à jours et Update Stretch - Problème de dépôt

[Daniel SAUVARD]

Bonjour.

Depuis l'année dernière, Debian n'assure plus le support de Stretch (fin 
du support LTS). Un support partiel reste possible via le projet 
Extended Long Term Support (ELTS, https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended ; 
pour 5 ans, soit jusqu'au 2027-06-30). Il faut supprimer les dépôts 
Debian (qui ne sont à priori plus accessibles) et les remplacer par ceux 
de Freexian).


En pratique :
- Éditer le fichier source.list et désactiver les dépôts Debian.
- Ajouter la clé de l'archive Freexian.
# wget 
https://deb.freexian.com/extended-lts/pool/main/f/freexian-archive-keyring/freexian-archive-keyring_2022.06.08_all.deb 
&& dpkg -i freexian-archive-keyring_2022.06.08_all.deb
  Contrôler la clé avec « # apt-key finger | less », en comparant 
l'empreinte avec celle indiquée sur la page 
https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/docs/how-to-use-extended-lts/.
- Activer les dépôts Freexian, par exemple en créant le fichier 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/extended-lts.list, contenant :

# ELTS archive
deb http://deb.freexian.com/extended-lts stretch-lts main
  Nota Le serveur n'utilise pas les dépôts contrib et non-free.
- Mettre à jour du système :
# apt update
# apt upgrade
  Redémarrer le système si le noyau a été mis à jour.

Cordialement,
Daniel Sauvard

Salut à tous

J'ai fait une boulette, je n'ai pas upgradé .
A force de me procrastiner l'upgrade d'une machine sous Stretch dont je

En voulant faire un petit check des mises à jour, je me suis aperçu que 
les dépôts Stretch enregistrés dans mon source.list n'existe plus:

J'aimerai upgrader cette machine (tout d'abord vers buster) mais avant 
cela il faudrait que je mette à jours les paquets de stretch pour ne pas 
avoir de soucis avec les upgrade a venir.


Pour le dépot principal (http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ 
 stretch) , en cherchant, j'ai trouvé 
le depot archive Debian: http://archive.debian.org/debian 

Est ce que vous pourriez me confirmer qu'il me permettra de mettre les 
paquets de stretch à jours jusqu'à leur dernière version.


Concernant les dépôts "security" et "volatile", existe-t-il aussi des 
dépôts archive que je pourrai utiliser?


Je ne maitrise pas bien tout ce qui est en lien avec les dépôts et les 
mise à jours donc je suis ouvert à vos suggestions et conseils.


Bonne journée
Cordialement
Hugues

To disable all sleep/suspend/hibernation I put in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf

[Sleep]
AllowSuspend=no
AllowHibernation=no
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no
AllowHybridSleep=no

You can disable sleep/hibernate at all.

sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target 
hybrid-sleep.target

  mirroring is going to be quite a difference, especially 
if you are updating each file's access time (see below).

  interesting and thanks for that.  :)

  my comments that follow are geared towards finding the
files that have been referenced and changed only in recent
times so that you are not having to process the entire 
file system.

  so the find statement would be adjusted to use -cmin or 
-amin (depending upon if i want to find changes or accessed 
files) and the file command would include the parameter 
flag -p to avoid updating the access time.


  as for the other topic of finding changed files and using
hashes is a whole different topic and one that i don't need.
this is the sort of thing that git can do so i would not
want to reinvent that if i don't really need to (which at
present i don't).  i keep track of certain directories and
that's all i need.  for directories or file systems that i
need read only i use the read only mount feature or set
permissions.

Sleep: out of control

[Tom Browder]

My main Debian host is going to sleep and I can't awaken it without
holdiing the power button down for some period.

We have had some neighborhood power issues recently, and I have been
manually powering down while away for a few short trips (no UPS yet,
either, but my Windows box next to the Debian host [same power source] is
solidly running).

A search of the logs shows entries for power from various system sources on
a daily basis (syslog)::, but I haven't seen anything about overheating or
such. I know the internal motherboard thermal sensors work (don't ask), so
I'm not worried about real overheating.

Is there a way to definitely deactivate all OS-related power changes so the
power button has only two functions (on/off)?

Note:  The systemd "/etc/systemd/sleep.conf" file has all entries commented
out.

Thanks for any ideas.

-Tom

Exact! dat is de andere. Die is echt supersnel/soepel.

Dit blijkt een ALPS trackpoint te zijn, dus inderdaad een andere.

Overigens had ik eerder gezegd dat ik testte met een Thinkpad T480s, dat 
was een vergissing, het is een T490. Wat voor machine gebruik jij?



Het mag echt nog wel sneller, om een kromme muisvinger te
voorkomen, maar affijn. Er zijn belangrijker dingen

Mocht je het willen weten:

Ik heb met deze trackpad ook af en toe last van een wegdrijvende
muis-aanwijzer (Lenovo erkent dat dit gebeurt... er zijn wel eens
bugfixes voor die "Fixed long drift issue of ELAN TrackPoint".

Dat is dat de muispointer helemaal vanzelf en zeer halstarrig naar links
(of rechts) schuift. Moet je ff wachten tot het stopt, of naar een
andere desktop springen.


Dat heb ik ook weleens gehad met een laptop. Ik weet alleen niet meer zo 
goed wat ik ertegen gedaan heb. Waarschijnlijk een paar keer flink alle 
kanten op bewogen, of het rubbertje vervangen.



Mijn backup-laptop, vorige generatie uit dezelfde serie, heeft een
andere Trackpoint. Die is zo snel ..


Wellicht gebruik je een nieuwe laptop, met kans op kinderziektes.

Wellicht zou je het backports kernel kunnen proberen dan, wellicht is 
het probleem daar opgelost.


Groet,
Paul

tripwire from local host and stealth from remote host do this more
securely. Both are packaged.

Desde un sistema arrancable:

grub-install /dev/sda2

Desde un sistema que no inicia, recomiendo Super Grub2 Disk¹ o alguna 
versión LiveCD de linux para instatarlo desde línea de órdenes, ya que 
de manera predeterminada (si no se especifica nada), se suele instalar 
en el sector de arranque del disco marcado como de inicio, no en la 
partición, que es lo que buscas.

Antes de hacer nada, a tener en cuenta varias cosas, como si se trata 
de un sistema con BIOS o UEFI, si hay otros sistemas operativos o 
discos, si hay RAID (hardware o software), volúmenes (LVM), cifrado, 
etc²...
