Re: is Ansible easy to use?
Hi Philipp, I don't have a very long and intense experience with Ansible. It doesn't seem complex to me, you have to use the same logic as if you were doing it manually. The biggest problem I have encountered is modifying a configuration file whose different cases are complex. Even with another method, it would be.

Re: Switching from Kubuntu to Debian(latest version)
You have 2 solutions : - Install Debian as a third os, and copy all you need from Ubuntu. - Change your Ubuntu to Debian. To do this you must : - Choose the version of Debian, you need to use. - Choose your new graphical environment. - Adapt your repositories, clean and update your packages database. - Update Apt application. - Upgrade your app. From: Peter Ehlert Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2020 3:14:24 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Switching from Kubuntu to Debian(latest version) On 5/16/20 4:17 AM, Cletus Kingdom wrote: > Good Afternoon, > I'm Cletus(a Web Developer using Kubuntu Linux Destro), and I want to > switch to Debian (that was my first choice of Destro, just that I > wasn't able to install and configure it) > > So I want to know wether it's possible to switch to Debian without > looking my files ? Yes. Copy all of your Data files to an external device... such as a USB drive.** for your Kubuntu they are Probably all in the /home directory for Windows I am not familiar on where they are kept. When you have them ALL safely copied off machine then proceed with whatever method you like to install Debian.

Re: python3 modules -- apt vs pip?

I've been using apt (and friends) to maintain my systems, including python. Today I discovered the Debian version of the more-itertools module is on version 4.2.0 and is three years old. Meanwhile, the version documented on pypi.org is at version 8.2.0, and has at least one recipe whose arguments are in a different order from the Debian packaged version (grouper, whose order of arguments changed in version 6.0.0). This causes problems, as you might imagine, with other modules! So... do people generally use pip to maintain their python libraries, rather than apt? What's the recommended best practices here?

It was even simpler than that: slightly enlarging the window makes the message visible. For a reason I don't understand (related to the font ?), the xmessage window now opens with a dimension which is slightly too small and this makes the text totally invisible and unselectable. I can work around that by using the -geometry option in the xmessage command line and requiring a sufficient dimension: xmessage -geometry 700x68+300+600 "My message" Thank to all for your help.

Unreadable xmessage (sid)
Hi list, xmessage does not work properly any more on my sid system. The window is displayed as expected, it has a working okay button, but the actual message is not readable. It could be that the message is displayed in the background color, making it invisible. I have a custom .Xresources file. Removing it does not solve the issue. I have made a capture of the window: http://thierr26.free.fr/img/broken_xmessage.png Does anyone experience the same issue or have any clue about what is happening ? I guess a very recent package upgrade caused the problem but I am unable to tell which one. xmessage is provided by package x11-utils which has not been upgraded recently. I'm using xmonad as my only window manager and desktop environment. My other applications are working properly. Thierry

Anyone having troubles with autofs and NTFS formatted drives on Jessie/sid ?
Hi list, I'm using sid, with wmii as my only window manager and desktop environment. I'm using autofs for automounting my external devices: - CD/DVD drives, - USB sticks formatted as FAT or NTFS, - external hard disk drives formatted has EXT4 or NTFS. or NTFS), CD-ROM drives, external hard disk drives). I dist-upgrade my system very regularly. The automounting used to work perfectly for all my external devices, but since a few weeks (or perhaps a few months), it does not work any more with my NTFS formatted devices. I have to manually mount them instead. Does any one have the same issue ? I can't find any post or bug report about that. I can't tell which package upgrade caused the issue. I believe it is not an upgrade of the autofs package that caused the issue because the autofs package has not been upgraded since March 2014. I have not changed my autofs configuration files recently, so I don't believe they're the cause of the issue. My /etc/auto.master file contains one line: /var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout=2,sync,nodev,nosuid The /etc/auto.removable has the following entries: chikai -fstype=iso9660,ro,sync,nodev,nosuid:/dev/chikai chil-fstype=ntfs,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/chil eos_digital -fstype=vfat,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/eos_digital nikon_d200 -fstype=vfat,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/nikon_d200 fao -fstype=vfat,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/fao ikki -fstype=ntfs,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/ikki jacala -fstype=iso9660,ro,sync,nodev,nosuid:/dev/jacala buldeo -fstype=iso9660,ro,sync,nodev,nosuid:/dev/buldeo kaa -fstype=vfat,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/kaa mao -fstype=vfat,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/mao nag -fstype=ntfs,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/nag medianavmp3 -fstype=vfat,gid=46,dmask=002,fmask=113 :/dev/medianavmp3 akela2_root -fstype=ext4:/dev/akela2_root akela2_home -fstype=ext4:/dev/akela2_home akela2_tmp -fstype=ext4:/dev/akela2_tmp akela2_usr -fstype=ext4:/dev/akela2_usr akela2_var -fstype=ext4:/dev/akela2_var The automounting used to work for all of the entries, but now does not for the three entries with "-fstype=ntfs". Note that the associated devices in /dev are still created properly when the devices are plugged in, so I don't suspect a udev related issue.

It will depend on the device. My Android phone works very simply: connect it, it asks you if you want to turn on USB storage. then you can access the phone as a USB stick. My tablet, unfortunately, is setup to work as an MTP device, I know I had found instructions to access it from Linux (I don't use Gnome, and the device has an SD card, so what I do is transfer with the SD card).

I've only used GPT for Hackintoshes, I stopped using Windows in 1992 (yep, windows 3.0) and I can't figure out why I would install another *nix-like system (except for fun and discovery, but I have enough older computers around to dedicate one to this sort of trial.

AFAIK it could be usefull for *very* big disks (but I can't see their use on a laptop). Other than that, I can see only multiboot systems (Hackintoshes need it). I don't really know about Win8 - that I don't have or use. My undestanding is that *pre-installed* Windows 8 require UEFI & secure boot. But I once downloaded a test version of Win 8 Enterprise (free from M$) and it installed perfectly (well... as perfectly as Windows can) on the IDE harddisk of an older dual-core machine, with, as far as I know, no UEFI (at least none I could turn on/off).

For some reason M$ makes it very complicated, but I have a dual boot system and I have Windows 7 running with system clock set at UTC. Look on the web and you should find how.

Yes, this is one problem. There are others:
- what documentation is existent is not easy to undestand, syntax is
complicated. Trial and error is not good when you're playing with your boot
manager.
- Grub ('s developpers) is patronizing: why make it so difficult to install on
a partition? To tell you it's not reliable is one thing, to try and forbid it
is another.
- Assuming that UUIDs are "better" is just one way to look at it. That's right
for people who add disks to a computer. Clone a disk and you'll be happy
you used labels
While I do see the power of Grub 2, I too wish we could go back to the
efficience and simplicity of Grub 1.
And I don't know if this is Grub or the distribution, but I've regularely
experienced "MS-like" behaviour: you tell the installer to put Grub on the
root partition, but it does install on your MBR.

I have several machines, all running either the same version of Linux, with (seems) the same fonts, or sometime a slightly different (e.g. upgraded) version of Linux. Or simply I update Libre Office.

Having looked nearer at aptitude, I will sure "play" with it on some seconcondary machine before typing "g" "g" on my main machine because if it removes over 700 packages and I overlooked something, I'd better have a backup (which I do have, actually :). Synaptic is easy to use and it does usually a good job at adding/removing stuff provided with the distribution, but it easily creates broken or problematic situation. My problem, as far as I can track it down, comes from a mix of (personnal) problems: - this was a clean wheezy install - I upgraded my machine to a haswell board, so I had to istall a backport kernel - I also wanted to try different database solutions that required newer libc6 versions, that I had to get from testing I guess no Debian package manager likes this mix of origins. I took a look at pinning, but there is no simple solution there either. Upgrading to a full Jessie might be a solution, but I use (and love, and am not about to change) Trinity Desktop as my DE, and there is no jessie support yet (I could not get the nightly builds to install compeletly). So the problem ultimately comes from a typical Debian problem, which is also one of Debian's plus points (I'm not ranting, it's a fact): Wheezy is a little more than one year old, but developpers didn't stop in 2013. Stable kernel is at 3.12 (longterm), new hardware is being build in our computers. Wether software requires the lastest libraries or the developper just used them I don't know (sometimes just linking the new libname to an an older lib works...). So what I discovered is: don't believe those that say "just add this repository and pull that stuff from testing/unstable". While it *may* work, it ends up putting your system in a dead end. This being said, "pure" wheezy simply can't work on my machine (no graphics, no network, not even a hard disc...) so the only other choice is another distribution until Jessie becomes stable. I can't stand Ubuntu(s), but openSuSE ssems OK (even if i had a hell of a time getting gscan2pdf to work). Zypper and Yast have their problems too, anyway...

Package system totaly a complete mess
Hello all, I've lived for years using synaptic and I am no so used to aptitude - and I don't want to make mistakes... Possibly my installation is now in such a state that I should reinstall, but everything *is* working. Anyway: - searching for broken packages gives 0 packages in synatiptic but 6 packages in aptitude. - marking upgradable packages causes both to want to remove lots of things (including parts of cups, Gimp, and of cours all my DE). - If I try to update with aptitude it gives me a liste of packages that should be "removed because they are no more used", which is nonsense because most of them ARE in current use. I am thinking all this comes from the fact that I installed Wheezy with Gnome, installed another DE, then removed *parts* of gnome, and the system is thinking because part of Gnome is missing, it should clean up and remove anything that needs it (the list of removal is long, but does include gftp and so). Whats more, the system seems not logical, as it wants to remove Gimp but complains that gimp-data (not to be removed) needs Gimp Any way to bring this mess in order?

If you look at debian-user, the title is: Help and discussion among users of Debian, so there is no mention of which language to use on this list. I guess this is a bug, but strickly speaking, one could use any language here and not breaking the code of conduct.

I dont understand what you are saiing. From wikipedia here is the definition of mbr: A master boot record (MBR) is a type of boot sector popularized by the IBM Personal Computer.[1] It consists of a sequence of 512 bytes located at the first sector of a data storage device such as a hard disk. MBRs are usually placed on storage devices intended for use with IBM PC-compatible systems So no wonder you can't put grub on 512 bytes. I would try, usind an install iso, to chroot into your system and reinstall grub. Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
