Hola,
Tengo una netbook Asus eeepc 1215p. El tema es que con mis manos de oso, a
veces, en lugar de tocar ALT-Tab (la uso para agrandar ventanas minimizadas
en un escritorio) toco la tecla Win (tiene un dibujito de Window$) junto
con Tab, Win-Tab. En esa instancia desaparecen todos los íconos y ventanas
de los escritorios y no los puedo volver a ver. Sin embargo, sé que al
menos las ventanas activas siguen estándolo, ya que si abrí un reproductor
de música o video sigue escuchándose la voz. Volver a  apretar Win-Tab pone
todos los escritorios en negro. Y no me queda otro recurso que reiniciar la
máquina (a veces ni siquiera eso porque se pone muy lenta y le tengo que
dar directo a la tecla de apagado/encendido) ¿Hay alguna manera de
reasignar la función de esa tecla o deshabilitarla definitivamente para que
no moleste más? ¿Los accesos directos a las aplicaciones que fui creando en
los escritorios con sus respectivos íconos quedan duplicados cuando pasa
esto? Si es así ¿Qué archivo(s) debo editar para borrar los accesos
directos en ese caso?.
Gracias por sus respuestas. Saludos,
Gerardo

Re: Actividad extraña en el disco duro

Hola. Gracias por el mensaje. Por las dudas lo instalé, junto con rkhunter.
Mi máquina anda medio lenta y quiero probar si se trata de malware o algún
otro código malicioso, que a linux afectan poco, pero que los hay... los
hay.

 Buenas,

 estoy escribiendo ahora desde otro ordenador, no desde el que uso
 habitualmente.

 Hace como media hora que el disco duro se muestra activo, sea lo que sea
 que este haciendo, y no hay nada instalado ni usandose que, en principio,
 pueda justificarlo.

 El explorador de archivos Nautilus, navegador Iceweasel y emulador qemu
 con una instalacion aparte de debian que uso para hacer unas pruebas. Esos
 son los programas abiertos en este momento.

 No esta bloqueado, el raton responde aunque muy muy lentamente. El teclado
 lo mismo, funcionan las luces de la tecla de mayusculas y puedo teclear,
 PERO no puedo logearme en una consola a ver que sucede. He podido
 introducir mi usuario pero no me sale la parte en la que me pide la
 contraseña, me da timeout.

 Esto no me habia pasado antes, no tengo ni idea de que puede haber
 sucedido. No se si puede ser algun tipo de bug y que sea una especie de
 bucle sin fin o algo asi.

 No he querido intentar reiniciar, no se si es seguro o si me puedo llevar
 algo por delante.

 En este momento, el disco duro lleva ya 35 minutos haciendo esto.

¿Qué se hace en este caqso para comprobar si realmente tienen rootkits u
otro código malicioso? Y de encontrarlos ¿Cómo se eliminan sin borrar los
directorios/archivos?

Muchas gracias. Saludos,

Hola, ¿qué gestor de ventanas estás utilizando? suena como un bug lo que
te está sucediendo.

Puedes escribir en una consola xmodmap -e keycode 133 =  para anular
la tecla winkey.

Para garantizar que la winkey tenga el código 133 utiliza xev y fijate
el número al lado de la palabra keycode.

Saludos,
Facundo

Primero no contestar a este tipo de correos, como tu ya lo has echo.
Segundo marcar el mensaje como spam en la lista, para ello abre el
mensaje y en la ventana en la parte superior derecha hacer clic en el
botón Report as spam con eso ayudas a educar al filtro antispam.

La lista no tiene coordinadores, tiene un admin que se encarga de su
funcionamiento.

El -O te hace un fingerprint del SO según tengo entendido. Como el nmap 
no esta seguro cual es, te permite subirlo a la web del autor (en caso 
de que averigues cual es), así lo agrega como firma conocida.


Yo en ambientes de testing (o caja blanca) me ha pasado, y luego subía 
lo que sabia era el SO de destino (ya que estaba todo en mi laboratorio 
personal, virtualizado).

Provavelmente você terá que usar o snapshot.debian.org


 Outra duvida é onde está o kernel 2.6.39 no list do aptitude?

Depende dos seus repositórios.  O que acontece é que o 2.6.39 foi uma
versão de desenvolvimento que foi substituída pelo 3.0 e posteriores,
sendo assim, os repositórios unstable e testing mantém somente a
versão mais atual.

A listagem do aptitude mostrará os pacotes do kernel de acordo com as
suas entradas no arquivos sources.list.


 Instalei o Debian stable mas o problema é que só aparecem os kernels
 2.6.32 ou 3.2 (backports), o problema que gostaria do 2.6.39.

Exato. 2.6.32 é a versão do stable e o backports oferece algumas
versões da unstable/testing recompilada para a stable.


 Alguém sabe o porque nao estao mais na listagem do debian packages?!

Você encontrará no snapshot.debian.org que é um projeto que guarda
todos os pacotes que já estiveram no Debian, mas à medida que os
pacotes são atualizados eles são substituídos pelas versões mais
novas.

Daily built Debian Installer cd kept asking for stable dists.

2012-02-19 Thread Magicloud Magiclouds

Hi,
  Just want to reinstall a debian box, so download the daily built iso
from cdimage.debian.org.
  Since I am out of CDR, I simply `cat the_iso.iso  /dev/udisk`. It
booted, things seemed fine until the step of finding the install cd
(sorry I cannot remember the exact menu item name now). It failed for
no valid release file for stable suite, according to the log, it
should be in /cdrom/dists/stable/. Well, this is a testing d-i, so
there is only /cdrom/dists/testing.
  Not sure if this is because the udisk boot (never tried this way
before). What should I do now?

 The bug report cited above suggests that the HDMI alsa sink is the root
 of the problem.

 [...]

 Are you actually using the HDMI output for sound?
 
 No.

 [...]

 cat /proc/asound/cards
  0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
   HDA ATI SB at 0xfe7f4000 irq 16
  1 [HDMI   ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
   HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfe9e8000 irq 19
  2 [CODEC  ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio CODEC
   Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC at 
  usb-:00:12.1-1, full speed

So there is an USB audio device connected as well? If you want to use
that one with flashplayer then it might be enough to run

  modprobe -r snd_hda_intel
  modprobe -r snd_usb_audio
  modprobe snd_usb_audio index=0

as root or with sudo. You may have to log out from your desktop
environment and issue these commands on a terminal (you cannot remove
modules that are in use). After you have done this, verify that
/proc/asound/cards now lists the USB device as card number 0, then try
if you get sound output from flashplayer. The annoying thing about sound
with Flashplayer is that the browser plugin seems to be hell-bent on
using alsa's card number 0 directly; I have never managed to make it to
respect any KDE/phonon or pulseaudio setting that says otherwise.

If you want to use the Intel SB device then you can test if disabling
the HDMI sink is sufficient to make flashplayer behave:

  modprobe -r snd_hda_intel
  modprobe snd_hda_intel enable=1,0

(Verify that /proc/asound/cards lists SB as card 0 and that the HDMI
card is gone after you do that.)

If you find a configuration that works then you can make it permanent by
putting the corresponding module options in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/
to make them persistent across reboots. I recommend creating an extra
file for that rather than adding the options to an existing file. (This
approach ensures that your settings will never be overwritten by an
upgrade.)

All (reasonably current) images work from an USB stick, but AFAIR
not from the *target* media (== the media the system will be installed

Re: Daily built Debian Installer cd kept asking for stable dists.

2012-02-19 Thread Jude DaShiell

I've had situations where the daily builds have thrown a media change 
message and asked for the disk that was already being used to install 
the system to be put into the machine.  Unfortunately, the drive door is 
locked and the media change dialog only respects alt-fx alt-f2 ... and 
ejecting the disk and replacing it and doing alt-f1 and hitting enter 
leaves the system in a closed loop.  One might be forgiven if they 
thought Microsoft paid crackers had gotten to the code and broken it if 
they didn't know any better.

 Hope this helps,

Yes, thank you, it's Shared to other computers. I edited it by using
nm-connection-editor, after that the nm-applet appeared automatically
and after enabling wireless, the applet showed networks from my
neighborhood. After a while the Linux network was shown by the iPad,
then I lost the connection. I disabled and enabled wireless, but nothing
happened.

I'll reboot. I still wonder, if I need to set addresses and what
username and password to use.

Settings now are:

Connection name: Wireless connection 1
[x] Connect automatically
[x] Available to all users
Tab Wireless
SSID: oz
Mode: Ad-hoc
Band: Automatic
(Channel: default)
BSSID:

[x] Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete
(Nothing edited for Routes...)
Nothing edited for tab IPv6 Settings
Tab Wireless security
Security: WE 128-bit Passphrase
Key: 1234567890

I only enabled wireless, the DSL connection isn't set up by nm, it was
set up by pppoeconf and starts automatically at startup.

After rebooting the nm-applet appeared automatically and a notification
is displayed:
Network

Disconnected - you are offline

Anyway I can surf the Internet using Firefox, but indeed, Evolution
can't connect.

I enabled networking. Evolution now is connected. Wireless isn't
enabled, but the neighborhood's networks are shown by the applet. The
iPad shows the Linux network oz. Again and again authentication is
required by Linux. I'm always using 1234567890 and then always push
connect. After a while, when I tried to set up the iPad, the network
oz can't be found anymore, the USB adapter's LED indeed change it's
notification flashing. Enabling wireless doesn't change anything.

I still wonder what settings I have to do for the iPad, username,
password, of my provider? oz and this 1234567890 key? I'll change
it, when it's working ;).

I'll backup the install now and continue later.

Flash plugin not producing sound


Hello All

I have the flashplugin-nonfree package installed on my system (version 
1:2.8.3) so I can get the video clips working in my browser. 
Unfortunately, I am not getting any sound. The video clips without sound 
are not much use.


So what do I do to get sound working? I have two sound cards on my 
computer only one of which is connected to loudspeakers (the CA0106). 
The Intel sound card is part of my motherboard, but I do not have it 
connected to any speakers.


Any help would be appreciated.

So there is an USB audio device connected as well?


Unless it's my cassette tape to MP3 converter, I'm at a loss to know 
what it could be. I'm not aware that USB sound was an option with this 
PC. I'll have to see whether Gateway still have the manuals available 
(the PC was an E-bay purchase from an overstock company, I got no 
software or documentation of any kind, just the hardware).


 If you want to use

that one with flashplayer then it might be enough to run

   modprobe -r snd_hda_intel
   modprobe -r snd_usb_audio
   modprobe snd_usb_audio index=0

as root or with sudo. You may have to log out from your desktop
environment and issue these commands on a terminal (you cannot remove
modules that are in use). After you have done this, verify that
/proc/asound/cards now lists the USB device as card number 0, then try
if you get sound output from flashplayer. The annoying thing about sound
with Flashplayer is that the browser plugin seems to be hell-bent on
using alsa's card number 0 directly; I have never managed to make it to
respect any KDE/phonon or pulseaudio setting that says otherwise.

If you want to use the Intel SB device then you can test if disabling
the HDMI sink is sufficient to make flashplayer behave:

   modprobe -r snd_hda_intel
   modprobe snd_hda_intel enable=1,0

(Verify that /proc/asound/cards lists SB as card 0 and that the HDMI
card is gone after you do that.)

If you find a configuration that works then you can make it permanent by
putting the corresponding module options in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/
to make them persistent across reboots. I recommend creating an extra
file for that rather than adding the options to an existing file. (This
approach ensures that your settings will never be overwritten by an
upgrade.)



Thanks for the detailed help. I will try the second approach first, 
then try to look up the documentation for the PC. There is also one 
other solution I found which involved some switches to the commands in 
grub, I have that waiting in the wings if this approach doesn't work.


I'll report back as soon as I've had a chance to try it all, but that 
may not be for a couple of days.



Brian.

Re: window does not fit on screen

2012-02-19 Thread Panayiotis Karabassis

Thanks. I can not increase the physical resolution but do you know how
to increase the virtual resolution?

I would like to do so on a per-user basis. Setting the line Virtual x
y in Xorg.conf has the desired effect but it also increases the size
for the login manager, which is undesired. Also the virtual resolution
change does not integrate very well with Gnome Shell. Googling suggests
I should use the xrandr extension but I do not understand it very well.

Thanks.

Setting the compose key without KDE


Dear All

I have expunged KDE from my computer and am using xdm and fvwm as 
display manager and window manager respectively.


Under KDE, I had a Compose key (Multi-key?) which enabled me to produce 
characters with accents used in Esperanto. I no longer have KDE, so I 
tried using the xkeycaps program to change a key to be a Multi-key. 
Unfortunately, xkeycaps failed with a segmentation fault.


Does anybody know what is wrong with xkeycaps? What should I give to the 
program xmodmap to enable might left window key as a key which will 
enable me to key the special characters?


I have a file in my home directory which rejoices in the name of 
.XCompose. Which X program uses such a file such that I can have the 
specially accented characters. .XCompose contains

 So as you can see, sound reproduction modules are loaded, and I
 really do have two sound cards.

That all looks OK; the problem with flashplayer is that it blindly uses
alsa card 0 to play its sound, regardless of how you configured your
desktop environment and/or pulseaudio. This means that you have to
reorder the cards (as far as alsa is concerned) if you want flashplayer
to use the CA0106. Try this sequence of commands as root or with sudo:

  modprobe -r snd_intel8x0
  modprobe -r snd_ca0106
  modprobe snd_ca0106 index=0
  modprobe snd_intel8x0 index=1

If there are any errors with the first two commands (FATAL: Module
snd_XXX is in use.) then you have to log out from your desktop
environment and issue the commands on a VT. The four modprobe commands
will unload the drivers of both soundcards and then reload them with an
explicit assignment of card index 0 to the CA0106. You can check if this
has worked with cat /proc/asound/cards and then try flashplayer again.

The ordering of the cards can be made persistent across reboots by
creating a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the following content (three
lines):

# added by Sian on 2012-02-19 to ensure that CA0106 is card 0
options snd_ca0106 index=0
options snd_intel8x0 index=1

The first line with the comment is optional, of course. The file itself
should have the same owner (root:root) and permissions (-rw-r--r--) as
the rest of the files in /etc/modprobe.d/. The name of the file is up to
you, as long as it ends in .conf; I myself would use choose a name
like local-reorder-alsa-cards.conf to immediately identify the file as
a local (non-Debian) configuration file and provide a hint about its
purpose. The idea behind creating separate files for your custom module
options is to protect your settings from being overwritten during
package upgrades.

My father is the owner of a small business. He has 2 registers with pos
software and a machine in the back for photoshop/pagemaker. I set up file
sharing and backups in windows to hold the pos database and his other
documents (ads, clip art, etc). He also has a laptop with access to those
resources. The problem is that he also uses these devices for non-business
things like web browsing -- and the performance is seriously lacking. I've
had great success with arch on my systems, but need something very simple
for him. I'd like to migrate his systems to debian, for its stability and
ease of use...but i'd like some advice. Does it make sense to have debian
do the file sharing, backup, and web browsing and then use a virtual
machine with xp for his business applications (photoshop/pagemaker)? Any
advice on how to get a nice, non-techhead friendly, setup would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks, -Tim G.

Manual's Tutorial #2 fails to boot from menu

2012-02-19 Thread Ed E

I built Tutorial 2: A web browser utility from Section 16.3 the Debian Live 
Manual dated Mon 21 Nov 2011 01:14:20 PM EST. I build the image on 2/17/12. It 
fails to initialize from the boot sceen prompt of Live. It generates a beep, 
but nothing else. Both of the Other options work fine. The same problem 
exists when the ISO is written to a CDR and when written to a USB stick.

Hitting the TAB on Live shows
/live/vmlinuz initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config
Note that the ISO doesn't have a vmlinuz or initrd.img in the /live 
subdirectory. I has:
vmlininiz-3.2.0-1-486
initrd.img-3.2.0-1-486
and
vmlininiz-3.2.0-1-686-pae
initrd.img-3.2.0-1-686-pae
If links are required they weren't generated.

I used the following for the build:
live-build 3.0i~24ubuntu1
debootstrap 1.0.37
live-config not installed
live-boot not installed

Build system (uname -a):
Linux XXX 3.0.0-16-generic-pae #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 19:24:01 UTC 2012 i686 
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Same processor used for testing.

Thanks for your help.

Re: window does not fit on screen

The command that works for me is:

xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x768  gnome-shell 
--replace


However there is a known bug [1] in xserver so I had to apply a patch 
and recompile.


I would like to run this automatically at login, I tried .xinitrc and 
.bashrc but neither works.


Anyway, my thanks.

I would like to do so on a per-user basis. Setting the line Virtualx

for the login manager, which is undesired. Also the virtual resolution
change does not integrate very well with Gnome Shell. Googling suggests
I should use the xrandr extension but I do not understand it very well.

Linux is efficient with hardware, but if you run Firefox you may 
be using the same application on a different OS.  Try different 
browsers (firefox, opera etc).  If browsing is really an issue 
then I think you have other problems (malware, slow connection 
etc).

It will be overhead managing a second operating system, so you 
will have to figure if cure is worth the medicine.  If you 
introduce it you will have to support it.  There is overhead in 
virtualization as well and could be significant if you are low on 
memory in the first place.

Have you played with VirtualBox?  Maybe try run Linux under 
Windows before you undertake the work to do the other way.

Consider buying faster hardware.  Hosted services might be
an option for you as well if you have reliable internet 
connectivity.  Here are some backup options for instance:

  Nothing different would happen from what you have today.  You already
  have Sid listed in your sources.list system.  If you have upgraded to
  Sid packages then you already have a Sid system.  Removing the Wheezy
  lines will do nothing different than you have today.  Or leaving them
  in.  Other than taking up more memory and running slower because of
  the need to process so much more data, leaving those Wheezy lines in
  won't matter either.  I would take them out just to simplify things.
 
 I wouldn't :D

And you post a very interesting counter-point.

  Right about now there are ten people jumping at the chance to correct
  me and say, no, that isn't true, Squeeze has package XYZ that was
  removed from Sid and Wheezy, and Wheezy has the pre-transition version
  of package ABC that was removed from Sid.  They will say that they are
  really different.  Yes, yes, yes to all.  They are different release
  tracks, have their own repositories.  Some individual packages or
  transitions of packages will have been added and removed between the
  different repositories.  Each and every one of those are special cases
  that would need to be discussed separately.  Which is too much to talk
  about in a quick answer so I am going to ignore this for now.
 
 Unless I'm misreading your paragraph above you are not mentioning the 
 case where packages are being removed from unstable temporarily, to ease 
 a (very) complicated transition.

I would say that case was covered under the very large door I opened
mentioning transitions of packages which will have been added or
removed between the different repositories.  I really didn't want to
write a reference for all possible cases.  And for example you
mentioned pinning and I left that out entirely.

 Something like unstable users should have testing in their 
 sources.list, period. has been posted a few years ago by a member of 
 the Release Team (Adeodato Simò, if memory serves me) and my reading of 
 -devel and -devel-announce didn't suggest any (major) change in this 
 recommendation.

That is a very interesting point.  I had not encountered that strategy
before.  Hmm...  Would keeping Testing in the list along with Sid make
for a system where things are generally more installable?  It probably
would!  I will need to consider this longer but I think you have
raised a very good point and have convinced me that Testing+Unstable
is a valid and useful combination that exists between them.

For me on Sid systems I already have installed everything that I want
to install.  So temporary transitions where packages have been removed
only very rarely affect me.  But I am concerned about upgrades.  I
usually upgrade daily in order to be able to catch problems and file
bugs as soon to the problematic upload as possible.  And I am
concerned about upgrades from Stable so that the next release is in
good shape for things I care about.  But I haven't been focusing on
whether something I care about is installable or not in Unstable.  I
am confident that won't slip into a release.  If I run into a problem
with an uninstallable package in Unstable I simply deal with it at the
time that it happens.  It isn't unusual to have a package that is
uninstallable in Sid due to broken dependencies.  But when I hit those
problems I usually use the archive.debian.net repository and manually
select a contour version of packages.  For many people being able to
select versions from Testing seems easy and reasonable.

 Hmm, maybe I should try to get the Release Team's current opinion on 
 this and suggest a patch for the Debian Reference...

If you do then I would be very interesting to know the result.

Google was finding umpteen copy-cat commercial sites with unhelpful

 Although it is more likely that r128 is broken.  You might want to contact

Re: How to keep track of files installed from sources?

Csanyi Pal wrote:
 How can I know where come installed files after I did run:
 ./configure  make  sudo -E make install
 commands?

In addition to the fine comments made by others let me add that Debian
has a very nice default for local installations.

The default for configure is to install into /usr/local.  The default
on Debian is that /usr/local is sgid writable by group staff.

  $ ls -ld /usr/local
  drwxrwsr-x 14 root staff 4096 May 13  2011 /usr/local

Therefore if you put yourself in the staff group then you can write to
the files there as a non-root user.  That is a much safer way to
install software than using sudo.

  # adduser csanyipal staff
  ...log out...
  ...log back in again to have new group take effect...

  $ id | grep --color staff
  ...,50(staff),...

Then the recipe would be (without the sudo):

  ./configure  make  make install

This is significant because a buggy (or malicious) install script
might try to overwrite something in /bin, /etc, or whatever.  But if
you are not root then it cannot do so.  It will only have permission
to access the /usr/local tree as group 'staff' and can't do much harm
that way.  This is a very nice half way position between installing as
a single user in $HOME and installing as the root superuser affecting
the core operating system.  I highly recommend this over using sudo in
this case.

 this is important if I decide later to uninstall files installed from
 sources.

As previously suggested if it is installed with an automake generated
Makefile then it will have an uninstall target as well.  The
combination of install and uninstall may be enough for you.

Since Debian doesn't ship files in /usr/local/ you could remove *all*
files there and know that you are only removing your own files and
nothing from Debian.  With the group staff configuration you should do
this as yourself and not as root.  If you are only installing one
single thing there then all files will be associated with that one
single thing.

The complication is when you start to have multiple projects installed
there and want to selectively remove one of them without removing
everything.  But again you could remove everything and then install
again just what you want to keep from other projects.

  $ find /usr/local -type f -print | less  # --- review
  $ echo find /usr/local -type f -delete   # --- remove all files
  $ (cd project1  make install)  # --- put this one back
  $ (cd project2  make install)  # --- put this one back

I haven't used it but others tell me that GNU Stow is useful for
tracking locally installed projects in /usr/local.

the need to process so much more data, leaving those Wheezy lines in
won't matter either. I would take them out just to simplify things.

I wouldn't :D

And you post a very interesting counter-point.

Right about now there are ten people jumping at the chance to correct
me and say, no, that isn't true, Squeeze has package XYZ that was
removed from Sid and Wheezy, and Wheezy has the pre-transition version
of package ABC that was removed from Sid. They will say that they are
really different. Yes, yes, yes to all. They are different release
tracks, have their own repositories. Some individual packages or
transitions of packages will have been added and removed between the
different repositories. Each and every one of those are special cases
that would need to be discussed separately. Which is too much to talk
about in a quick answer so I am going to ignore this for now.

Unless I'm misreading your paragraph above you are not mentioning the
case where packages are being removed from unstable temporarily, to ease
a (very) complicated transition.

I would say that case was covered under the very large door I opened
mentioning transitions of packages which will have been added or
removed between the different repositories. I really didn't want to
write a reference for all possible cases. And for example you
mentioned pinning and I left that out entirely.

Something like unstable users should have testing in their
sources.list, period. has been posted a few years ago by a member of
the Release Team (Adeodato Simò, if memory serves me) and my reading of
-devel and -devel-announce didn't suggest any (major) change in this
recommendation.

That is a very interesting point. I had not encountered that strategy
before. Hmm... Would keeping Testing in the list along with Sid make
for a system where things are generally more installable? It probably
would! I will need to consider this longer but I think you have
raised a very good point and have convinced me that Testing+Unstable
is a valid and useful combination that exists between them.

For me on Sid systems I already have installed everything that I want
to install. So temporary transitions where packages have been removed
only very rarely affect me. But I am concerned about upgrades. I
usually upgrade daily in order to be able to catch problems and file
bugs as soon to the problematic upload as possible. And I am
concerned about upgrades from Stable so that the next release is in
good shape for things I care about. But I haven't been focusing on
whether something I care about is installable or not in Unstable. I
am confident that won't slip into a release. If I run into a problem
with an uninstallable package in Unstable I simply deal with it at the
time that it happens. It isn't unusual to have a package that is
uninstallable in Sid due to broken dependencies. But when I hit those
problems I usually use the archive.debian.net repository and manually
select a contour version of packages. For many people being able to
select versions from Testing seems easy and reasonable.

Hmm, maybe I should try to get the Release Team's current opinion on
this and suggest a patch for the Debian Reference...

If you do then I would be very interesting to know the result.

This is the 2009 link that Andrei posted almost exactly a year ago:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/03/msg00582.html
but it'd be good to have an update to Debian Reference clarifying the
official policy - if there is one (!).

  When you use dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config or dpkg-reconfigure

  origin is set to it in /etc/postfix/main.cf.
 
  I thought it set 'myhostname'.  No?  I should try a pristine
  installation and look.

And a quite long response from doing this results below.  :-)

 AFAIR, myhostname is /etc/hostname

Not quite.  For Debian's Postfix configuration the postfix myhostname
variable is set to the fqdn in /etc/postfix/main.cf.  Postfix requires
myhostname to be the fqdn.  The default value for Postfix is to use
the value of `hostname`.  However in Debian the default hostname is
the short hostname without the domain name.  Therefore Postfix's
default of `hostname` isn't suitable and must be supplemented by
setting the FQDN explicitly.

Well...  What I said wasn't quite true.  It is the summary of the
overall result.  What Postfix actually does is somewhat circular.
Here are the official docs and a somewhat longer explanation.

  mydomain (default: see postconf -d output)

  The internet domain name of this mail system. The default is to
  use $myhostname minus the first component, or localdomain
  (Postfix 2.3 and later). $mydomain is used as a default value for
  many other configuration parameters.

  myhostname (default: see postconf -d output)

  The internet hostname of this mail system. The default is to use
  the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) from gethostname(), or to
  use the non-FQDN result from gethostname() and append
  .$mydomain. $myhostname is used as a default value for many
  other configuration parameters.

If not set then it sets mydomain from the fqdn obtained from hostname
or to localdomain if that isn't a fqdn.  On Debian with a short
hostname set that means mydomain always defaults to localdomain.

If not set then it sets myhostname from the non-fqdn obtained from
hostname and appends mydomain.  On Debian with a short hostname that
means myhostname always defaults to somename.localdomain.  And if the
hostname was chosen to be localhost then it would default to
localhost.localdomain which is one consistent and desirable strategy
for thin client systems without a network and without a network domain
name.

[Postfix was born on systems where the hostname was normally set to
the fqdn.  In that environment the above makes a lot of sense.  On
Debian with the short hostname it means that myhostname should always
be set to provide that supplemental domain name information.]

Something similar happens with Exim because exim4-config sets up
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf with the fqdn too.

 and myorigin is /etc/mailname.

Yes.  If an MTA has been installed.  That file does not exist if no
MTA has been installed.

 What I find somewhat weird is that when you install Debian,
 /etc/hostname and /etc/mailname are the same.

They are only the same if you choose a fqdn for the hostname.  By your
comment I read that it implies that you do choose a fqdn for your
hostnames?  (And that you always choose either Standard system or
otherwise install an MTA?)  That is why they would be the same for
you.  If you choose a short name for the hostname, which is the worded
with recommendation from the debian-installer and so most people
probably choose it, then they are different.  /etc/hostname will be
the short name and /etc/mailname will be the fqdn.

The debian-installer says:

  Please enter the hostname for this system.

  The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the
  network.  If you don't know what your hostname should be, consult your
  network administrator.  If you are setting up your own home network,
  you can make something up here.

By saying single word and defaulting to a single word such as
dhcp224 for the hostname I think most people wouldn't type in the
fully qualified domain name.  Although typing in a fqdn results in a
perfectly valid system configuration.  And if you do so then it
doesn't ask you for a domain name separately.  I always used to use
that configuration.  In previous releases I recall that the wording
was much more strong that it should not be the fqdn.  I would need to
try previous releases in order to know for sure but I think that
wording has been softened in Squeeze.

Additionally if you choose Standard system utilities from the task
selection menu then you get Exim installed since exim4 is graced with
being marked as Priority: standard.  If you unselect that box then
you don't get any MTA installed (which I do in many configurations)
unless you have preseeded in Postfix or something else.  If you don't
have an MTA installed then /etc/mailname is also not installed.

In which case /etc/mailname is different from /etc/hostname by virtue
of not being there.  A valid system configuration is one without

Question about APT's config on Debian (not an actual issue)

2012-02-19 Thread Christofer C. Bell

I'm wondering how the following Ubuntu-isms made it into Debian's APT
configuration:

cbell@circe:~$ apt-config dump | egrep 'verse|ubuntu'
APT::NeverAutoRemove:: ^linux-ubuntu-modules-.*;
APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: universe/metapackages;
APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: multiverse/metapackages;
APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: universe/oldlibs;
APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: multiverse/oldlibs;
cbell@circe:~$

Are these really necessary?  And is it worth filing a bug for their removal?

Because they have very different effects.  Suppose that you are using Wheezy,

stable, you will find yourself with an inrush of Sid packages to testing and 
a very unstable system.

Now suppose that you have your repositories set to Wheezy.  Then the day that 
Wheezy goes stable, you will find yourself using stable and can continue to 
do so until such a time as testing has settled down a bit.  Or until it

Interesting.

Are these really necessary?

I can imagine that in case you have a Ubuntu repository or PPA in
your sources.list, you might want to have these. This might be
especially the case with the first line, as it is possible that a
specific driver/module is only available from such sources.

And is it worth filing a bug for their removal?

Do you think these are harmful in any way? If so, how? And if they
are harmful, does this ‘harm’ make up for the potential benefit they
have for users either mixing Ubuntu and Debian or wanting to use one
to install the other?

You should also take into account the fact that with these lines in
Debian, too, maintaining APT in Ubuntu is made easier and applied
patches less complex, which might result in better software even for
Debian.

But, of course, these are just a user’s opinions, so if you feel like
filing a bug, I won’t stop you :)

Charles Kroeger wrote:

 notwithstanding STABLE users of course. 

You said notwithstanding Stable so I won't menthion that Stable should
always be named Woody, Sarge, Etch, Lenny, Squeeze, Wheezy or
whatever.  Otherwise when Stable changes it is problematic.  Upgrades
of late have required a manual actions to order things correctly.  But
you already know this and so I won't mention it.

There isn't ever any difference between Unstable and Sid.  Those
should always be interchangeable. People use Sid because we like the
Toy Story name.  Or not.  Or whatever.  No difference.  I usually try
to say Sid/Unstable when I am trying to be as plain and as unconfusing
as possible.

Wheezy versus Testing is the interesting case.  I always use Testing
when talking about the track that is just downstream from
Sid/Unstable.  But I always use the name Wheezy when I want to
identify the next release after Squeeze.  Coming back to the archive a
couple of years in the future there will be a different Testing
release and then Wheezy will be as history as Woody, Sarge, or Lenny.

In a sources.list file it depends upon your mindset.  If you are a fan
of the idea of a continuously-usable-testing (Debian's CUT project)
then you would want to say testing there.  But that isn't
implemented yet and so if you want careful stability you probably want
the name wheezy so that when it releases it will be Stable.  As
things stand now, a few months before a release Testing becomes
frozen.  But Unstable is still open.  So a lot of upgrades pile up
waiting for the release.  After a release the floodgates open for
packages to flow from Unstable to Testing again and Testing usually
becomes rather (looking for another word other than unstable)
unsteady.  So it is better to use wheezy instead of testing, wait
until a couple of weeks after a release, and then move to the next
version of Testing by name again.

sample rate of ogg and flac files

2012-02-19 Thread Rob Owens

I've got some flac files that are at high sample rates (96000 Hz and
192000 Hz).  My Sansa Clip+ won't play them.  When I encode them to ogg
vorbis, the Clip+ still won't play them unless I resample them.  I
resampled to 44100 Hz and that worked, but I don't know if the actual
limit is higher than that.

Would it be a good idea to include this type of information in the
media-player-info files?  Then Rhythmbox, etc. could possibly resample
my files when I add them to my player.  Rhythmbox currently uses the
media-player-info files to know what formats my player supports, and
will transcode my music files when I add them to my player, if necessary.

I'm thinking of filing a wishlist bug to media-player-info, but I'd like
to hear if anyone's got a better suggestion.

Convert mp3 enbulk

2. Then, I would like to duplicate the structure I have I place for the mp3 to

Currently, the structure is thus
Artist (directory)
Album (directory)
Song

Currently, that all resides under a mount point called Music

The end point would be thus
Music (mount point)
Ogg (dir)
 Artist (dir)
  Album title (dir)
Song

MP3
  Artist (dir)
Album (dir)
  Song

Removing hardware identifiers from an existing installation (esp. Grub2)

2012-02-19 Thread Jason Heeris

A while ago I installed Emdebian (Squeeze) to a compact flash card on a
single board computer. I had not anticipated this, but now I'd like to take
that installation and replicate it on other identical flash cards on other
identical SBCs.

(If I *had* anticipated this, I might have put a live system on the drive,
but that's plan C.)

Of course, when I say identical, in fact the UUID of the drives differ
every time. This is a problem for Debian, since it uses drive UUIDs in the
Grub2 configuration, in /etc/fstab and maybe even elsewhere.

I've fixed /etc/fstab to do what I want, so now my question is: how do I
get Grub2 to stop using UUIDs? In particular, the line:

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [UUID here]

I've already fixed this line in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

...but is there some other place to turn off the UUID searching?

In a more general sense, are there any other gotchas I might have to look
for here, where a Debian installation is tied to drive UUIDs, network
adapter MAC addresses, or any variable hardware identifiers?

  rm -f file1.wav

And then call that from find.

Unfortunately the tags don't transfer one to one.  Have you looked at
the tags available (or that you have used, or not used) in your mp3
files?  And then look at the tags available in ogg format.  It isn't a
one-to-one lineup.  It isn't the end of the world but you should look
