[Un peu HS] Argumentaire de choix de distribution...
Bonjour, Ma demande est un peu en dehors des clous, mais je suppose que plusieurs d'entre vous ont déjà répondu à ce genre de problématique. En effet, sur nos serveurs (applicatifs avec Apache/Tomcat et de bases de données avec PostgreSQL ou Oracle principalement) se pose la question de la distribution. Pour tout ce qui concerne Oracle (que ce soit le SBGD proprement dit ou des outils annexes comme le Grid Control), l'orientation se fera vraisemblablement vers RedHat (question de support). En revanche, pour le reste (serveurs applicatifs ou PostgreSQL), la décision est plus ouverte et les deux distributions pré-senties sont CentOS et Debian. D'où ma première question : avez-vous eu ce genre de choix à faire et, si oui, avez-vous un document-type de comparaison de distributions (stabilité de l'OS, nombre de paquets disponibles, qualité de la communauté, impact des mises à jour, etc...) ? Et, éventuellement, j'irais bien jusqu'à la deuxième question : avez-vous des éléments concrets à mettre sur la balance Debian vs CentOS ? Merci d'avance et bon week-end. David. -- Lisez la FAQ de la liste avant de poser une question : http://wiki.debian.org/fr/FrenchLists Pour vous DESABONNER, envoyez un message avec comme objet unsubscribe vers debian-user-french-requ...@lists.debian.org En cas de soucis, contactez EN ANGLAIS listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/20120303122512.6322c035@debian-david

Il appert que CentOS soit la branche sage de RH (à qui je ne pardonnerais *jamais* l'inclusion d'un ftp anonymous branché sur / ...) - et que cette distro n'intègre les nouveautés qu'une fois qu'elles ont été correctement testées validées (cependant la recherche de la stabilité/sécurité ne semble pas faire partie de l'objectif primal.) Elle a une excellente pub sur le net et sert de base à nombre de projets importants liveCDs. Et, éventuellement, j'irais bien jusqu'à la deuxième question : avez-vous des éléments concrets à mettre sur la balance Debian vs CentOS ? Pour ce que j'en sais, il n'existe pas de support pro direct; donc égalité avec Debian (à condition, bien sur, de se cantonner aux MLs/IRC/etc en langue Anglaise.) Supports officiels Pg: http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/europe/ Il est à noter (je ne l'ai pas vu dans les links) que Bull semble avoir délaissé son propre produit RDBMS au profit de PostgreSQL (bon là les prix doivent être prohibitifs: faut bien que les poliotiques se goinfrent). Maintenant si sécurité stabilité sont les 2 mamelles de ton soutient ]:), je resterais plutôt sur Debian; mieux vaut être un poil outdaté mais stable que de risquer une faille ou une instabilité. Maintenant, si tu veux tout verrouiller question support, RH le permet; reste à voir le coût annuel et surtout les risques (puisque les packages sont upgradés systématiquement à la dernière version.) Là encore, je te renvoie à la réponse d'avant celle d'après: Oui Debian est tjrs en retard, mais pour de bonnes raisons. (ET Debian a tjrs communiqué honnêtement sur les attaques réussies de ses serveurs, ce qui n'est pas vraiment le cas de tout le monde...) En 5 mots comme en cent: ptêt ben, fèpôça, yakafokon yfolferfer. (donc YMMV:) La question est loin d'être facile, mais je dirais que la marque de l'OS a peu d'importance ('tention hein, tant qu'on reste dans les *nices - même pas question d'évoquer la marque à la pomme ni celle aux carreaux!), vu qu'un admin normalement constitué devrait s'en sortir dans la plupart des cas - donc le centrage serait plus sur le RDBMS et ses optimisations. Maintenant, il-y-a des gens actuellement plus branchés pro que ma poire (Bortzmeyer, Sauvage, etc) qui t'en diront ptêt plus. Mais en tout état de cause il ne faut pas rêver: c'est dès fois dans la 15ème page de recherche que tu trouves un obscur admin qui a eu le même PB que toi et qui te donnes sa solution (remarque toute personnelle, parce qu'à chaque fois que je cherche le mouton à 5 pattes, les 50 premières pages risquant de m'apporter la meilleure réponse me font un 404.) Un retour (final) serait le bienvenu, histoire que chacun voit les tenants et les aboutissants d'une décision aux ramifications professionnelles. -- I was attacked by dselect as a small child and have since avoided debian. -- Andrew Morton -- Lisez la FAQ de la liste avant de poser une question : http://wiki.debian.org/fr/FrenchLists Pour vous DESABONNER, envoyez un message avec comme objet unsubscribe vers debian-user-french-requ...@lists.debian.org En cas de soucis, contactez EN ANGLAIS listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/20120303193457.15e1ac0d@anubis.defcon1

Re: Desktop icons missing
Camaleón wrote: 1. Gnome classic desktop displays no desktop icons. Nautilus does not handle the desktop in gnome3 by default. But this can be changes with a flag. The easiest way to set the flag back to true is via gnome-tewak-tool: First line in section Desktop. gnome-tweak-tool comes in a package of its own. 2. How can I examine the menu items to find where the underlying programs they call are and are named? I have not yet come to an understanding of how this part worsks. The gnome3 way: 1) Move the mouse to the upper left corner of the screen. (Alternatively, press the windows-key) -- The screen warps to some kind of window chooser. 2) click applications in the upper left. -- The screen changes to an iphone-like carpet of klarge icons. Use the menu on the right to filter for specific groups of applications. Alacarte was the usual application to deal with GNOME menu items but I think is broken somehow. IMHO, the OP is missing the menu in the first place. This seems to be gone in gnome3. Same as with the icons on the desktop it is still there, just not in the default theme. Steps to recover the gnome2 way: 1) call gnome-panel in a terminal. (Yet another gnome2 core element that is hidden in the default theme of gnome3) -- at least one panel appears on the top of the screen. 2) do [alt right-click] on the panel. That is, hold the alt key during right mouse click. -- a menu pops up 3) Choose add_to_panel -- a chooser window lists a number of itzems that can be added to the panel 4) choose Main Menu, or Menu Bar click ok -- The application menus known from gnome2 appear in the panel. optionally: 5) right-klick on the menu to start alacarte and modify the menu. (no alt-button required, this time) IIRC, the debian sub menu is not activated by default in wheezy. I habitually make it visible. The shut-down item seems to be missing in the exit menu if you click on the user name in the upper right of the screen. Press the alt key and it reappears. However, the Main Menu also features a shut-down item like it always did.

Now, as per changing key-map from the busybox prompt itself I don't think it's possible (but I may very well be wrong here), and even if busybox had the equivalent of the loadkeys command you're only going to have access to whatever key-maps are included, there may not be any outside the default one... You can print yourself a qwerty US keymap (or use another computer or phone on-screen keyboard) as a guide, or start from a live-cd, unlock and mount your system partition (bind mount /dev,/sys,/proc and mount /boot if it's a separate partition) chroot on it and rebuild initramfs after setting up options to include the appropriate key-map. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

evolution segfaults except when run in gdb
Hi list, Since the beginning of this week evolution crashes on my user account. Running from a terminal window I see all plugins getting loaded fine and it starts to sync my imap account, then is suddenly disappears with a segfault in the terminal window. The thing is, this doesn't happen on other accounts on this desktop, re-installation doesn't work, and I already cleared all evolution related settings and mail inside my home directory. It then runs normally until I add an account, then it is back with the segfault. I tried to obtain some kind of backtrace as suggested on [1], by running evolution from gdb. But when I try this, evolution doesn't segfaults and I can work normally. Any Ideas on how to get any useful information on this?

That sounds excessively complicated. PA will work fine (and automatically), it just needs to be setup correctly. I set mine up long ago, and it has never given me problems (well, a few times the PA volume got muted and had to be unmuted, but that is about it). It has been a while since I setup PA, and I don't have my Debian box here, so I can't say much until about 5:00 Pacific standard time. When you say Pandora, you mean the internet radio, right? In that case the app is the browser (and not Flash anymore, thankfully. Although even that is better than it used to be).

Cheers, Kelly Clowers Can you elaborate on what you mean by it just needs to be setup correctly? I'm going to be working on this issue today. Before I install the applications that Raffaele recommended, I want to give Pulseaudio one more chance because I would rather figure out the problem than to circumvent it.

Changing processor
Dear Debian users, First of all, I'd like to briefly introduce myself, as it is my first message. My name is Ruben (aka Beco), I'm a computer scientist, and I've being using linux since 1995 (Slackware-KDE, RedHat-KDE - because of RPM, Suse-KDE - because it recognize more hardware and I didnt like the redhat turned into fedora, Ubuntu-Gnome - because of KDE4, and finally Debian-KDE4 because of unity). I'm glad to be here, and I hope I'll be forever this time (because debian is more stable in terms of policies and software). I would like do address a question to you guys. I have a machine here, processor E5700 dual core, mother-board ASUS P5G41T-M that I had to buy and due to time pressure, I had no time to chose a better better processor. It is running beatifully a plain Debian Squeeze with KDE installed from scratch. Now I have to buy another machine (just motherboard, processor, memory). My idea is to buy another similar machine, DDR3, and socket 775. But I want to seize the opportunity to upgrade the first machine. So I would buy a Core2 Quad, install it in the first machine, and use the DualCore to the new one (that will not need such computer power anyway). Simple stated, my question is: will my first machine that is runing Debian installed from scratch work smoothly after I simple change its processor from a DualCore to a Core2 Quad? (or will I need to reinstall things? Both processors are intel 64 bits, btw). Thanks for your help, Beco. PS. Disclaimer: * Sorry if this is the wrong list to ask such question * Forgive-me any misspelled word.

Besides, the file that I print is very small. It's only one page, some KB. The number of pages comes from using lp -n . Okay. Is printing pain slow when printing from the local host (the computer that is connected to the printer) or you note some difference in the processing speed when sending the job locally? I have no locally connected computer, it's only a network printer. So no easy way to test this. Ah! It's a networked printer with an embedded network port. That makes things different. My first thought was that you were sharing the printer over the network and thus using CUPS as a server and not as client, as you seem to be doing. Are you experiencing the same slowness from another computers? And just in case, if the printer supports it, I would test with a PCL6 driver, it would be interesting to see the results to compare. Will try that tomorrow. Okay. PostScript drivers are usually slower than PCL6, but this is only noticeable for high quality or very complex works (speaking of mebibytes) but of course not for a bunch of KiB :-) Also, the more information you provide for the printer (brand name, model, connection type, ppd file in use...), the better.

It seems that Brother is one of the preferred manufacturers for people on this list, there are many users with these devices :-D If you can use a socket:// as URI connection instead ipp://, try it.

Re: Desktop icons missing
Dear Kai: I am the OP and you are correct. The issue is that after doing the wheezy update, all the desktop icons are missing, that is, those items defined in ~/Desktop for the normal user do not appear anymore and I am trying to get back to seeing them on the desktop with gnome classic at this point. I see the same effect with just gnome, only there are other things which bother me, but for now, I am trying to understand how the display of items in the users home directory ~/Desktop/ which all still exist and are displayed with other window managers have disappeared in gnome classic. I do have a gnome-panel panel and I can manipulate it to some extent. Meaning I have an application item, my several virtual desktops which I can rename normally, the clock and a few other goodies. The key right now is the missing desktop items causes me to have to navigate a menu if I want a terminal which is a bit annoying. Additionally, I have a few PDF files, a file browser, internet browser and a couple of source files I refer to regularly and being able to click on them on the desktop is quite convenient. I would expect that the window manager should read the users ~/Desktop/ directory as it has before, so my question two goes to How does this work in gnome now? so I can navigate myself to an understanding. I am also trying to use this as a opportunity to understand the window manager a bit more. I am a software developer and have worked in Linux for many years, but have not dug into the details of window managers as all my work is in developing embedded designs with ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, so I am a user of desktops but not a developer of desktops.

Re: How do I debug kernel panic that occurs while running X?
Hi again, Charles Krinke wrote (Thu March 1, 2012): On the next boot, /var/log/messages shoild contain the last printk's from the kernel which would include any panic. Thanks. I'd already checked there, though, and no dice. The log just skips from the last innocuous kernel message to messages about the next boot. Nothing about what caused the reboot to be necessary. Jason Heeris wrote (Fri March 2, 2012): I've had problems with write caching causing the last few messages to be lost after a panic*, so if you don't see anything suspicious, maybe turn off write caching with 'hdparm -W 0 /dev/whatever' for long enough to reproduce the crash. Just in case. Thanks for the tip. I gave that a try using the manual invocation of a kernel panic (i.e., echo c /proc/sysrq-trigger) but I still get nothing in /var/log/messages about this event. So, I'm doubtful this'll work when a real panic strikes, unfortunately. FWIW, at the moment I'm running the kernel in testing, but this has been a problem since back about 2.6.38 or 39. (I even tried doing a git bisection at one point, but being an intermittent problem it's difficult to determine when a particular commit doesn't exhibit it - I think I screwed it up at some point.) Any more ideas? As I said, I tried getting kdump working but have been having trouble getting it to behave.

Before I install the applications that Raffaele recommended, I want to give Pulseaudio one more chance because I would rather figure out the problem than to circumvent it. OTOH, I don't want to fight a losing battle either. So, I originally setup mine based on the PA wiki's Perfect Setup. It is rather extensive and a lot of the stuff in there is from a time when there was less support for PA. Here are the essentials: Edit /etc/asound.conf (for all users) or ~/.asoundrc (per-user) I have only these two entries in mine: pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } Make sure you are in the groups audio, pulse-access and pulse-rt Make sure that Pulse is being run automatically at startup (it should be, I just remember when it was not, and I had to set it up myself). --- The setting of the alsa default to pulse should make most things work, but personally I set a number of things to PA explicitly. At least some of these used to be required (they did not automatically use pulse and avoided the alsa default or similar). Nowadays that may not be the case, I don't know. Also they may have a PA driver that is different from the alsa driver, and may work better than redirected alsa. in ~/.mplayer/config: ao = pulse in ~/.xine/config: audio.driver:pulseaudio in ~/.vlcrc or ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc: aout=pulse in /etc/libao.conf: default_driver=pulse for gstreamer: gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink pulsesink gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/chataudiosink pulsesink KDE's Phonon uses vlc, mplayer or gstreamer, so the above should cover that as well SDL (used for some games) can be set to explicitly use PA with: export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse (needs to be done in a startup script like ~/.bashrc to be permanent) As far as I remember that is about it.

The former requires a bit of manual configuration to work properly. I'm using make-kpkg: # cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config # make menuconfig # make-kpkg --initrd --append_to_version=-layer7-imq-amd64 linux-image What steps did you take to configure kernel-package ? Did you read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz ? Just a short citation: With the new kernel-package conventions, you also need the example scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ and /etc/kernel/postrm.d, to create and remove the initramfs. Make sure that these scripts pay attention to the INITRD env variable to determine whether or not to take any action. Let me repeat: Since nothing is created automatically. you need to provide a hook script for things to happen when you install the kernel image package. The user provides such scripts. For example, to invoke mkinitramfs, I did: --8---cut here---start-8--- cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs \ /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs \ /etc/kernel/postrm.d/ --8---cut here---end---8--- Maybe that's part of the problem. Here I am not physically in front of the host to be tested, however I installed Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.9 Lenny in a KVM virtual machine in order to replicate the problem. I was reading the file /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz on the KVM virtual machine, but I didn't found the quote you mentioned, nor the two files. However I tried the kernel compiled with the above steps (without additional steps) and I could not reproduce the problem on my virtual machine. i.e. it boots without problems. One test failed with a message that the initrd was too big, but then to expand the RAM of the VM, it boots without problems. So now the issue is finding the difference between these two scenarios. 1) Debian GNU/Linux Lenny 5.0.8: * 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 boots without problems. * 2.6.32-layer7-imq-amd64 fails to find the MD devices. * The environment is the same, so there were no changes in settings or metadata, which makes me think that the difference is something on the compiled kernel. But... 2) Debian GNU/Linux Lenny 5.0.9 (KVM): * 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 boots without problems. * 2.6.32-layer7-imq-amd64 compiled using the same procedure as in (1) boots without problems. This makes me think that then the problem is not the procedure used to compile. Then the problem is due to a difference between 5.0.8 and 5.0.9? But, if so, why precompiled kernel does not produce problems and the manually compiled kernel fails using a procedure that did not bring problems in another scenario? Thanks for your reply.

Mike, Another excellent approach--thanks!

OTOH, I don't want to fight a losing battle either. So, I originally setup mine based on the PA wiki's Perfect Setup. It is rather extensive and a lot of the stuff in there is from a time when there was less support for PA. Here are the essentials: Edit /etc/asound.conf (for all users) or ~/.asoundrc (per-user) I have only these two entries in mine: Neither of these files existed. I didn't care about a per-user setting, so I just created an /etc/asound.conf and added the recommended lines below. pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } Make sure you are in the groups audio, pulse-access and pulse-rt I used vigr and vigr -s to edit the groups. My user was already in audio. I added it to pulse-access group. And, I did not have a pulse-rt group. I did not create the group. Make sure that Pulse is being run automatically at startup (it should be, I just remember when it was not, and I had to set it up myself). It was already starting automatically with /etc/init.d/pulseaudio --- The setting of the alsa default to pulse should make most things work, but personally I set a number of things to PA explicitly. At least some of these used to be required (they did not automatically use pulse and avoided the alsa default or similar). Nowadays that may not be the case, I don't know. Also they may have a PA driver that is different from the alsa driver, and may work better than redirected alsa. in ~/.mplayer/config: ao = pulse in ~/.xine/config: audio.driver:pulseaudio in ~/.vlcrc or ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc: aout=pulse in /etc/libao.conf: default_driver=pulse I did not have the mplayer or xine config files above files. So, I created them and add the recommended lines. I had the ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc. The aout directive was present, but was commented out and had no value. So, I set it. I changed the /etc/libao.conf from default_driver=alsa to default_driver=pulse. for gstreamer: gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink pulsesink gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/chataudiosink pulsesink I ran the gconftool-2 commands. KDE's Phonon uses vlc, mplayer or gstreamer, so the above should cover that as well SDL (used for some games) can be set to explicitly use PA with: export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse (needs to be done in a startup script like ~/.bashrc to be permanent) I added the export to the .bashrc. I also executed it at the command line so I didn't have to log out and back in. I restarted pulseaudio with: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart This did not seem to work. So, I rebooted. This seems to work. I was able to play a movie with sound on VLC, Minecraft and Skype all at once without breaking anything. As far as I remember that is about it. As I said, setting those explicitly may not be needed anymore, I just don't know. Cheers, Kelly Clowers Thank you so much for sticking with me. I appreciate everyone's comments. I hope that someone with find this thread useful in the future.

[OT] munin
Hey all, I installed munin on my network, and wrote a puppet module to push out the munin-node.conf to each machine. Everything seems to work fine, and 9 machines are reporting in and generating graphs, but 5 are not. The configs are identical with the exception of the hostname. Here's the rub. Of the 5 machines, 4 are openvz containers, and one is a physical machine. 3 are running sid and 2 are running wheezy. (the 9 that are reporting are a mix of lenny, squeeze, wheezy and sid, and are both physical and openvz containers.) When I telnet to localhost 4949, it gives me connection refused on all 5 servers, but munin-node is running on all 6. Now here is something interesting. On all of the nodes I have checked, it appears to be listening on the ipv6 address: netstat -pant | grep 4949 tcp6 0 0 :::4949 :::* LISTEN 27585/munin-node this is on both the working and non-working nodes. My network is not running ipv6. In fact, net-pf-10 is commented out on all the hosts that I have checked. Here is a snippet from my /var/log/munin/munin-node.log. This was a /etc/init.d/munin-node restart, a telnet localhost 4949 (nothing written to the logs) and a telnet ::1 4949 2012/03/03-22:57:05 Server closing!
