Hi Lazaro,

Based on your inputs it may be that the GTK version dependencies may be causing 
this. GIMP works and GTK was built for GIMP, so that's not surprising. Based on 
some reading, it appears that GIMP 1.2.x was built around GTK 1.2
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/commit/?h=gimp-1-2&id=61cf583747fbb3b4306bf085b85b1f67e627778c

And you seem to have gtk 1.2 installed in part at least. 

As the other programs were previously working, the "new" GTK errors might 
indicate a change in the libraries? If so, then knowing the versions of your 
other apps would help determine which GTK version they were based on. What do 
you think?

In PDF jargon this index is known as the PDF's bookmarks. 

According to this 
discussion, pdftk should do the trick. You will need the version from
experimental (1.45) in able to update the bookmarks, but the version
in stable should let you export them.

Ok, for now I've turned it off (thanks, Sean) and will look further into

Thanks.  Your method is the simplest so far. Even though it's not
exclusively a backports search, it would be simple to filter the
results to make it so.

Thanks, again.

I use 'apt-cache policy ' to 'search' for a package.

~$apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:3.5.4+dfsg-4
  Version table:
 1:4.0.3-2~bpo70+1 0

 1:3.5.4+dfsg-4 0

I don't have to use script fu, the results are minimal/manageable here.

Is your removable hd still attached? IIRC grub counts discs from "0",
so your "hd1" would then refer to your second hd. Do you have grub
installed on the aptosid system? What's your BIOS  boot preference?
A mix-up like this could explain why when you reinstalled grub to
version 2.xx you still get reported back v 1.99 by bootinfoscript.

Hi all,

Well I just fixed my boot loader problem in about 15 minutes The easy 
way is to go to www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ and 
download the .iso file of their boot loader repair disk. Burn a disk, 
stuff it in your CD/DVD player, reboot your system and sit back and 
watch the wheels turn. Punch the Repair button when presented. Remove 
the disk and reboot. Your done. This is supposed to work for a range of 
boot loaders. Great package.

It's been a while since I installed it, but I seem to remember seeing
the same thing. IIRC I ran aptitude and used the resolver and it
suggested that I install a few i386 packages which I did and everything
has been running nicely since.

Hi, if you don't use it (have no use for mdns/zeroconf stuff on your
network) you can do without, I sure do. Few packages actually depend
on it, most often it's a "suggest" or "recommend". If a metapackage
depends on it (like Gnome) you can always get rid of the metapackage,
it won't remove the whole Gnome desktop environment.

My 2 cents.

I've disabled it, and haven't needed it. Here's more on what it's for:
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/avahi-daemon

So it seems you'd only need it if you want auto-discovery for printers and other
devices on your network.

You should be able to disable it with:
update-rc.d avahi-daemon disable

This leaves it installed, to satisfy the dependencies you're seeing, but causes 
it
not to start when you reboot.

To stop it before rebooting:
service avahi-daemon stop

Troubleshooting apt-get -f install

[Alois Mahdal]

Hi,

I'm following instructions[1] from Debian Wiki to install Skype
on Wheezy.

  [1]: http://wiki.debian.org/skype#Debian_7.0_.22Wheezy.22

In a nutshell:

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update
# wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/...snip
# dpkg -i skype-install.deb
# apt-get -f install


Now at the point when I do `apt-get -f install`, only solution
APT offers is to remove skype:i386.  While I agree with APT
that there are much better options than Skype(tm), I need to
communicate with people inside the walled garden, so for now
I'm going to stick with Skype.

me@here:~$ sudo apt-get -f install 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  skype:i386
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 55 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 39.2 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 


What am I missing?  How should I help APT here?  Does the wiki
page need update?


(Note that I actually had Skype installed a while ago but purged
it as it was somehow "broken":  it was missing from Xfce menus
and from PATH.  So what I'm doing is actually an attempt to
"fix" previous installation.)

Thanks,
aL.

virtual host/user and gui configuration

[Pol Hallen]

Hi folks!

I installed postfix+courier with apache and all with virtual host.

Using squirrelmail, users can check and send email.

Is there a gui tools to automatically add/remove/modify own email setting?

For now, I user userdb to handle every user but I'd like permit to do
this from gui web interface.

Any idea?

thanks!

Pol

Re: avahi-daemon: Is it *really* needed?

Thanks; good to know about that one, but that's not quite what I'm

something that's really needed.  I already know there are packages set

Need help setting up bluetooth file transfers

[Thomas H. George]

paired my desktop computer and my tablet but file transfers failed.  The
tablet said the failure was because the computer does not use obexftp so
I installed obexftp and obexfs.  hciconfig found the bluetooth device to
be hci0 so I entered the command 

obexfs -b hci0

This was accepted but did not resolve the problem.

I tried obexftpd -c /tmp/inbox -b

as suggested in the man page.  The response was

failed to register bluetooth server: Address already in use.

There isn't a HOWTO on this subject.

Any suggestions?

avahi-daemon: Is it *really* needed?

[David Guntner]

I'm still running Squeeze for a while longer before I finally upgrade to
Wheezy - want to let it shake out a bit before taking the plunge. :-)

A question that I've been pondering for a while now:  Is the
avahi-daemon *really* needed?  All it seems to do is spew the occasional
message to my syslog, and based on what I've read about what it does, it
doesn't really seem like something I need for my particular setup.
However, any attempt to do an aptitude purge of it results in a warning
message that doing so makes it want to remove Gnome among other things,
which it says is dependent upon it.

I don't actually use Gnome (I'm a KDE guy, myself), but I don't mind
having it in the system, and some of the tools I use seem to expect
Gnome to be there.  And again, from what I read of the purpose for
avahi-daemon, I'm not sure why Gnome specifically wants it to be
present.  Seems more like a "it can use it if it's available" type of
thing, but maybe I'm misreading it.

So, is avahi-daemon truly essential for the system?  If not, is there a
way to remove it without removing other things such as Gnome?

1. So, how can it be, that i.e. libreoffice in wheezy-backports is version 4.0,

it is not easy for unexpierenced users, to use wheezy-backports at all.

There is no such thing as "wheeezy-backports" , or even 
"wheezy-backports". The name was changed to "wheezy-updates". This new 
name signals a melding of back-port and volatile functions. Both 
functions need deployment of a time scale shorter than the traditional 
Debian release cycle. Call if by its new name and it may eventually sink 
in that the name really means something different than volatile or b 
backport. Both more and less and other. I know, sometimes it's difficult 
to walk and chew gum at the same time... :-)


Wheezy-updates is different from testing/jessie. Wheezy-updates contains 
packages that are a newer version of a software that are buiilt to run 
using the libraries in wheezy. OTOH, Jessie is  a newer version of a 
software that is built to run using newer versions of the libraries. 
(among other things that change between major releases). It is tricky, 
and takes a judgment call with a higher pay grade than I have to make 
the call.


Personally, I think I have never felt the need to use volatile during 
the whole time that it existed. Backports was something that I sometimes 
thought I needed, but never  badly enough to actually learn how to use 
it. Now, it appears to me wheezy-updates is being used for rapid 
replacement of software that should not have been released. But again, 
I'm not an expert and my opinion is only the opinion of a software klutz.

Not sure about the 'is it documented' part.  
Lots of work being done for some reason: 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2013/05/threads.html

I like having my apps managed by my distro's dev team, security provided 
by same, upstream does not do secrity they do new releases to fix and 
create new bugs.

And yes, the Debian version works well with all the other apps in 
Debian, finally,  Libreoffice expects most GNU/Linux users to use the 
version provided by a distro, fair warning I say.

You aren't right. The 1 TB disks are 2x bigger than 500 GB, but they
cost is not 2x bigger. And the 20 % free space is not only for
fragmentation (but it is right suggestion). It is very good for
unexpected situations (misconfiguration, software errors and some system
inspection – for example iotop output to file, etc). ;-)

Of course, the exact % value depends on the disk size, on bigger disk i
can left less %, but for fragmenation's purpose the 5 % is minimum,
suggested for many filesystems.

Re: Grub2 gives error :File not found and goes into rescue mode

[Sebastian Canagaratna]

Thank you  Klaus. /dev/sda is hd0 and is the permanent hard disk. It has
the MBR on which I want to install
Grub. /dev/sdb is the removable hard disk.Its first partition is, as you
say,  hd1,msdos1 on which grub2 is installed
under /boot/grub. After I boot into /dev/sdb1 with supergrub I run
grub-instsll. I am not running any grub or grub rescue
Commands. Grub-install says installation finished. NO errors reported, the
version of grub installed is 1..99 when my
system has grub 2.00-14. On booting, the order is cd, usb ( my removable
harddisk is on usb, and then permanent hard disk. Maybe, as Goh says,
supergrub is messing
up something, but I am mystified as to why even if there were an error, it
is not overwritten by the latest grub-install.

backported vs upstream libreoffice 4

[baldyeti]

A recent thread made me aware of the availability of
LO4 in wheezy-backports. Then I started wondering what
advantages were to be gained from using this version,
given that DEB packages are provided by the upstream
developers themselves ?
Perhaps less disk space / memory bloat because system
libraries can be shared ? Better desktop integration?
Is this documented somewhere ?

I doubt there is any general Debian policy of using OpenSSL rather than 
GnuTLS. If a particular software can use both it's usually the package 
Maintainer who decides how that software will be configured for Debian.

You could show commands and output.
If it is only one track, it seems very strange that it plays in one

First though, don't bother filing a bug report

By "saved as a .flac file" I mean ripping the track with CD paranoia

I'll file a report against vlc.

The 'apt-cache + options" command works on the package cache, which
includes , afaik, all the packages reference in the sources.list.

  'apt-get' install stable packages unless the '-t' option is used.


The -t option just change the Pin priority, to increase the priority of 
the release mentioned.

So it's only useful on install/upgrade operations.

OK, so it's your video driver that's complaining.

The kernel is tainted, so don't expect help from the linux kernel
people.

A quick search of the internet (for "WARNING at i915_drv.c:402") brings
up Debian bug #703390. See if that helps at all.

Is your removable hd still attached? IIRC grub counts discs from "0",
so your "hd1" would then refer to your second hd. Do you have grub
installed on the aptosid system? What's your BIOS  boot preference?
A mix-up like this could explain why when you reinstalled grub to
version 2.xx you still get reported back v 1.99 by bootinfoscript.
