It also says, in the line above

 SSecond (00.00 .. 61.00).  There is a fractional part.

The same applies to T, it seems.

Use %.8TT instead.  The sed command won't work anyway if the filesystem
supports high resolution timestamps.

find -printf ' %TT

[Mike McClain]

Given "find / -type f -printf '%TT %p\n'".
Gnu find previously printed hh:mm:ss for the files modify time
but now is printing hh:mm:ss.00 for all 33K+ files on
my Squeeze system.

The man page still says:
T  time, 24-hour (hh:mm:ss)

Is there a way to get back the hh:mm:ss output as it used to be short
of piping the output through sed 's/.00//'?

Thanks,
Mike

[OT] Who's interested in project management & collaboration tools? And...

[Miles Fidelman]

 where are they and how do I get their attention?

Hi Folks,

Open source software development involves a lot of distributed 
collaboration - and I expect that many folks here, like me, are involved 
in one or more projects, and dealing with all kinds of project 
management administrivia.  So.. I wonder if I might solicit opinions


I've been working on some open source software to support virtual teams
and projects - putting some of the experiences and techniques I've
acquired over the years into code - and I'm trying to gather some
support via Kickstarter.

The thing is, I'm having a very hard time getting people to even visit
the project's web page - so far, only about 300 people have visited the
Kickstarter page, despite some serious attempts to spread the word
across various email lists, twitter, and so forth.

It's one thing if people were looking at the page and not contributing,
but I can't even seem to get people's attention - which suggestions one
or more of four things:

- nobody cares about project management (I hope this isn't the case - I
know administrivia isn't sexy, but an awful lot of people are working on
an awful lot of projects, and getting buried in mountains of paper,
email, phone calls, texts, meetings, and yellow stickies.  I sure know
that I'm always looking for ways to declutter that side of my life)

- I'm not reaching people who care.

- I'm reaching people, but not getting their attention.

- I'm reaching people, getting their attention, but not providing enough
motivation to go the next step and click their mouse (on

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1947703258/smart-notebooks-keeping-on-the-same-page-across-th 



So... I'd really welcome any feedback on the questions who cares about
project management & collaboration tools, how to reach them, and what
might motivate them enough to take a look at what I'm doing?

Thanks very much,

Miles Fidelman

We've cleaned up a few work.  We are not sure how the payload got in
(best guess: browser).  I am not allowed to disclose any more data than
this.

Still, now that you have heard about it, you can satisfy your curiosity
by doing the searches yourself.  And javascript botnets work in Linux,
as I said (but they're a bit more ephemeral most of the time).

There isn't that much difference between linux servers and desktops.
Desktops are often just as out-of-date as your typical badly
administered server, and also have open ports.  And there are no polite
words appropriate to describe the browser security and security model,
especially if you factor in plugins.

Well, that's your prerrogative.  He has already detected weird
behaviour.  In MY book, that means you consider it compromised until
further data, and you try to protect yourself and others by keeping it
contained until you know more.

Umm, no. Debian is a binary distribution.

but:

A quick google turns up this:
https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2011-October/012503.html

Just because a farmer prepares a field with his tractor for planting turnips, 
that means he should ring the manufacturer to find out how?

Given the hotplug nature of SATA, what you could try is rescanning for 
the optical unit. I never did it before but there has to be "how-to" in 
some place (searching...). Ah, look this:

Resetting SATA devices under Linux
http://www.skytale.net/blog/archives/24-Resetting-SATA-devices-under-Linux.html

But I wouldn't do it unless there is someone in the other location (at 
least for the first tryout) just in the event something fails.

Install package wireshark.  Add to it a filter "host 239.255.255.250" and
capture ~5s worth of traffic to a file.  Gzip it, and send it attached.  You
may send it to the debian-security list [WARNING: debian-security IS a
public list] instead of debian-user.  If you send it to debian-security,
please send it attached to a email where you summarize this thread, so that
people there will know what you're talking about.

Alternatively you may use 'tcpdump' instead of wireshark.  Run "tcpdump -s
1600 -i any -w /tmp/output.tcpdump.bin host 239.255.255.250", and stop it
with ^C after 5-10s.  It will save the packet dump to
/tmp/output.tcpdump.bin, which you should gzip or xz'ip before attaching.

While you're doing the capture, just in case, DO NOT engage in any other
activities, do not have your browser, mail user agent, or any other programs
open that could send credentials over the wire (such as email logins, etc)
just in case the wireshark filter is not correct and it ends up capturing
packets with data you'd rather keep private.

Now, here I will have to step in.  No, it is not a good one.  Linux
nodes _are_ commonly co-opted to act as C&C for botnets.  And
browser-based ephemeral botnet nodes (in javascript, installed by
drive-by attacks) DO work in Linux.

It is actually a very responsible way of handling it.

You have to be kidding, right?

The OP is using a Debian system (squeeze) and its tools (gcc) to compile 
a program. What am I missing here?

Are these inbound or outgoing connections? And what ports? 

Anyway, at a first glance I don't see anything suspiciuos about the 
mentioned sites:

239.255.255.250 → SSDP/UPnP
1e100.net → Google stuff
activeminds.net → a German ISP

Oh, sorry, I did not see the CC (excuse → my newsreader does not show 
additional headers by default).

Anyway, if the OP wanted to manually send the report by e-mail, the body 
has to be properly formatted as instructed at the wiki, otherwise it 
would be rejected.

That's a possibility, I guess. But it's not an intermittent 
or occasional thing. And it doesn't run for a bit and then 
stop. This is a constant 10-14k stream of data coming from 
somewhere. What I don't understand is why the multicast IP 
address would be the source, and the router IP would be the
destination, and yet it shows up streaming into MY computer. 
(I don't control the AP.) Why would data streaming from an
abstract address TO the router/AP be incoming to my system?

If I boot Windows XP on the same machine (it's dual boot) 
and connect to the same AP I don't see this. And before these
latest updates I didn't see it in Linux either. So WHAT
changed in those updates? And why does it make the AP send
this continuous stream at me?

Myself, & probably the majority of people on this list, are firstly
Debian users, & secondly Linux users, so I consider most Linux/Debian
related questions acceptable if the poster runs Debian.

If, as you suggest, there is a more appropriate place to ask the
question, this should be pointed out to the OP politely.

Right, which has nothing to do with Debian SUPPORT.

There are more appropriate mailing lists for those sort of
questions, jeesh!

Uninstalled, but not purged, packages are shown. Try apt-get install
jarwrapper; apt-get remove jarwrapper; dpkg --purge jarwrapper and
compare the different output of dpkg -l.

Using dpkg-query also has the advantage that you can specify the
output format:

0 17:34 0 claudius@ares: ~/Desktop $ dpkg-query --load-avail -f 
'${binary:Summary}\n' -W pidgin2
No packages found matching pidgin2.
1 17:34 0 claudius@ares: ~/Desktop $ dpkg-query --load-avail -f 
'${binary:Summary}\n' -W jarwrapper
(no description available)
0 17:34 0 claudius@ares: ~/Desktop $ dpkg-query --load-avail -f 
'${binary:Summary}\n' -W pidgin
graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X
0 17:34 0 claudius@ares: ~/Desktop $ dpkg-query -f '${binary:Summary}\n' -W 
jarwrapper
No packages found matching jarwrapper.
1 17:35 0 claudius@ares: ~/Desktop $ 

Note the return code of 1 when no packages are found.

Best regards,

Claudius

Re: Display Resolution

Nelson, it looks like your reply did not reach the list, possibly
because it's over 100 kB in size.  Please configure your mailer to send

Yes, that's http://bugs.debian.org/666468.  Upgrading
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to the version in unstable might help, but
note that you then need a kernel from unstable as well or lose
acceleration, see http://bugs.debian.org/bug=679557.

Yes, it is.

You had best ask upstream about that.  They use IRC as their main
support and discussion medium, channel #nouveau on irc.freenode.net.
The Nouveau Wiki at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ has some
information about multicard setups as well, but it's down ATM.

Cheers,
   Sven

Indeed the problem seems to occur only without the Ethernet cable.
And this is not due to the kernel, but to wicd:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637267

It tries to put wlan0 down (probably in some wrong way), even though
is isn't up.

Ah, yes. It is my misunderstanding (or my outdated knowledge?), because i
never see the problem with uninstalled packages before now. But i don't
used it for some months.

I am using it in my personal script for querying the package description
for translation by email interface of the DDTP. It is used for checking
that the package exist, to prevent typo in package name (and querying
nonexistent package) by checking the existence of the package in database.
I am using the query of the available database now for this.

Thanks

How about using it? dpkg-query(1) clearly states:

   --load-avail
  Also load the available file when using the --show and
  --list commands, which now default to only querying the
  status file.

So to use --list on uninstalled packages, you need --load-avail
(which is only understood by dpkg-query, but not dpkg). Since
dpkg is normally meant as tool for _local_ package administration
(installation of .deb, removal of packages etc.), which does not know
about package files available elsewhere but not locally installed,
this makes perfect sense.

You can also use -p (--print-avail) which is more-or-less identical
to apt-cache show.

Maybe you can refine for what exactly you’re looking?

Best regards,

Claudius

As mentioned, I installed the binary packages. Essentially I added
http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports to the software 
sources, setting Dist to squeeze-backports and Components to main &
non-free. Then I performed
  apt-get -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-3.2
and
  apt-get -t squeeze-backports install firmware-realtek

They seemed to go okay but the system doesn't start with the new
kernels - on startup it gets part way through before covering the
screen with horizontal lines and seems to hang.

The kernel is 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-rt-amd64.

Update the dpkg's status database

[Slavko]

Hi,

i am using the Debian testing some years. And sometime i am using the dpkg
command to brief look of the packages. I observed that, the database of
the available packages is not automatically updated, then i create simple
weekly cron job to update the available database by the sync-available
tool.

But in a last days i see, that the simple "dpkg -l" command cannot find
some packages, which are in debian:

LANG=C dpkg --list jarwrapper
No packages found matching jarwrapper.

After some investigation, i see that the status database is
outdated/incomplete, because after i did search in available too, then
package was found:

LANG=C dpkg-query --load-avail --list jarwrapper
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version  Description
+++---
un  jarwrapper  (no description available)

Please, is here simple way to update the status database?

regards
