bluetooth file transfer issue in Debian Jessie
Hi to all I've got a problem with the bluetooth file transfer, my Jessie linux box denies accepting files via BT, and I don't know why: sysconfig log doesn't return any error. The local service config dialog related to file transfer from the bluetooth-applet is empty, and it shouldn't. Any clue how to investigate further? -- Dona i tuoi cicli di clock alla ricerca! http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Un uomo sulla luna non sara' mai interessante quanto una donna sotto il sole. -- Leopold Fechtner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Installing Debian Jessie/testing via debootstrap
Hi I've installed debian testing from within stable using debootstrap (following https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds03.html). At the moment this is my partition table: --8<---cut here---start->8--- NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:00 111,8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:10 243M 0 part /boot ├─sda2 8:20 1K 0 part └─sda5 8:50 111,6G 0 part ├─nostromo-CRUNCHBANG (dm-0) 254:0014G 0 lvm / ├─nostromo-swap_1 (dm-1) 254:10 4,1G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─nostromo-DEBIAN (dm-2) 254:2014G 0 lvm /media/DEBIAN ├─nostromo-LOCAL (dm-3) 254:30 9,3G 0 lvm /usr/local └─nostromo-HOME (dm-4) 254:40 70,2G 0 lvm /home --8<---cut here---end--->8--- The boot partition only contains the stable kernel, while the DEBIAN partition contains its own kernel. I did *not* install any boot loader in it, since I'd want avail of the already existing boootloader. What's the proper way to add the testing entry to the GRUB menu? Running "update-grub" in the host distro does not work. Any clue? Thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I ask because your suggestion (if found useful by the package > maintainers) could be also added in the Debian package without needing to > use to a sed script or something like that. In few words: a system wide cronjob already, periodically (every hour), tests if leafnode is configured in PPP or permanent mode. If PPP it skips over, if permament fetchnews is launched. I set it as PPP because I don't want my syslog flooded with error messages about missing connection.

No, but please note that $NETWORK variable is read every time that the cronjob starts, at worst I will have a one hour lag. > Anyway, you can take a look at the networking docs: > > Http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_scripting_with_the_ifupdown_system > > Greetings, Thanks. -- - Cosa si deve fare per avere le mani sempre ben curate? - Niente! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

PPP only triggers when a ppp* interface goes up. I'd like to make it more general. A solution I'm working on is a script which use sed to toggle $NETWORK between PPP and permanent when the laptop is online, I only would like to know how to run this script from inside interfaces -- Non ci fossero le donne, gli uomini vivrebbero come dei. -- Thomas Dekker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Improve leafnode
Leafnode on Debian uses a script do-fetch-news, which cron run periodically, that checks the variable $NETWORK in /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config. This variable can have two possible values: "PPP" and "permanent". I think that a third value is missing, we can call it "online". Useful when leafnode runs on mobile devices for example. Can you suggest me a brief way to improve it. I suppose I can insert a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ which checks when online and thes edits /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config accordingly. I also noticed that exists another script, network-test, that I can use for this. But I have one questions: 1. I don't understand if to trigger a script putting it into /etc/network/if-up.d/ is enough to run it when an interface goes up. Any clue?
