gpm dumping info to /var/log/messages

[Mike McClain]

Is there any way to stop gpm from dumping to /var/log/messages every
time I copy/paste without stopping other deamons from writing info
there too? I see no such provisions in the man pages.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi and HNY everybody!

Just a final update on this thread.

I end up with the script below working perfectly,
except if I use both following rules at the beginning of the script.
---
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F
---

I don't fully understand why but I'll investigate that later.

script:

iptables -X

Re: how to specify kernel parameter "memmap="

[Long Wind]

I have downloaded and burned Freebsd 9.2 CD
during boot, it shows sth like "BIOS 630K/14233K" memory
I can't remember the exact number

it means it has only 630K  memory available
so the BSD kernel fails to boot

linux probably face the same problem

TAB completion will help avoid errors.

Re: packages status

[Diogene Laerce]

Hi,


[...] I would like to automate the installation process from
scratch to a django development platform. But forgot to note every
modification from the very beginning. ^^ :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "development platform", but for
standardized/customized development/testing environments, vagrant
(http://www.vagrantup.com/) is quite useful.  It makes it very easy to
create, use, and share custom virtual machines.


Actually I didn't know vagrant but I was going to use ansible to do 
about the

same job. The vagrant documentation provides an explanation on how to use
them as a synergy so : thank you ! ;)


   The only downside is
that it is not configured very securely by default.


The less scripting I need to do the better, anyway. :)

Lots of reading to come..

Re: how to specify kernel parameter "memmap="

[Long Wind]

I am trying various memmap= option this morning
before booting a  Linux installer, I enter:

memmap=exactmap memmap=512M@1M memmap=1M$0

the screen turn blank after a while
if I don't enter memmap option, it reboot
I am not sure whether this can be called progress

Only if you've manually configured it; 1.9.1 has a higher priority.

Also, ruby1.8 now no longer provides ruby-interpreter, which means
apt-listbugs should now pull in ruby1.9.1:

If only one package is what you want, you should not put an * on Package
value on your apt_preferences, just the name of the package.

But I agree with Ralf, the first time you should do only a install and
in the case of a DE, you should expect a lot more than just one package
to be upgraded.

Indeed.  I prefer aptitude to apt-get (and I'm assuming their
behaviour regarding installing packages not requested is the same --
correct me if I'm wrong).  When installing the packages you requested
does not result in more packages being installed, it just installs
them; otherwise it prompts.  And aptitude has the -P option to always
prompt.

@Tanstaafl:

Also, the -s option simulates the installation of packages (dry run,
like --pretend w/ emerge).  But if you use aptitude -P, you get a
prompt you can cancel.  Also, aptitude safe-upgrade/full-upgrade
always prompts before upgrading.

Also, aptitude has a TUI (and minesweeper), but no super cow powers
(apt-get moo vs aptitude moo).

And then there's also dpkg, dpkg-reconfigure, apt-cache, apt-file,
apt-show-versions, apt-listbugs, apt-listchanges, apt-rdepends,
update-alteratives, apt_preferences, debconf, etc.

Indeed.

Vidalia was a Tor GUI used by the Tor Browser Bundle (but not any
more, are you using the latest Tor Browser Bundle?).  The Tor Browser
Bundle (which is the recommended way to use Tor) includes Tor, so you
don't need to install it yourself (and probably shouldn't).  In fact,
it would seem you do have it installed (via apt) and you can't use
both at the same time because they use the same port.

Removing the debian tor package should fix the Browser Bundle.

(It's been a while since I used apt pinning, but IIRC) if you only
want a single package from testing, you should probably Pin all
packages from testing to something like -10, and Pin that specific
package from testing to the same priority as stable.  e.g.

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: some-package
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 700


Or you could pin testing, but not pin the package at all and simply
install some-package=some-version.

You can check the priorities w/ 'apt-cache policy'.

Interesting. Exim at least has the grace to announce itself under
COMMNAND as "exim4" and under USER as "Debian-exim", so you know where
you are up to.

Please give me credit for knowing the difference between mail delivery
and mail collection and the rôle an MTA plays in POP3. You actually
quoted what I said. I don't have a problem with understanding this and
how it integrates into my system; the OP may, but hasn't chosen to say. It 
looks as though he collects with POP3 and delivers locally to Postfix.

Well, bios_grub and raid aren't flags. They're partition types.

The gpt layout doesn't have as much spare room in it as the older mbr.
Creating a small bios_grub partition gives some space for grub to
install parts of itself.

You need to create a small (recommend 1MB) partition for bios_grub, then
the rest of the drive can be a linux raid partition.

I was in the same boat last year.  I have a Motorola Electrify M and
when I plug it in all it does is mount as a CDROM drive with a Windows
executable on it.  I tried it on a Windows machine and the EXE installs
the drivers in Windows that allow it to bypass the USB mass storage
device and activate MTP.  It is running Jelly Bean 4.1.2.

After some frustration and help on a forum I was directed to Air Droid
which let me connect to it via WiFi and the later version allows
connection via the Internet through an Air Droid server, if desired.

I don't know if the WiFi/'Net traffic is encrypted or not, so that might
be something to consider.

Firefox / Iceweasel displays math formulas in the wrong size

[Edward C Jones]

I use up-to-date Debian stable, amd64 port.  Until recently, Firefox 
/Iceweasel would display mathematical formulas with the size and shape 
wrong.  Repeated reloads would fix the problem.  See the Terry Tao blog 
at "http://terrytao.wordpress.com/";. Recently, the formula sizing has 
been working on my system and failing for other users on various systems 
using several browsers.  Anybody have any idea what is causing these 
problems?

GPT + RAID + boot

[Joe Pfeiffer]

My goal here is to be able to have a bootable, running system in the
event of a disk failure.  I've been running two disks in a RAID-1
configuration, with grub installed on both disks, for some time.  My
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf is essentially empty, as mdadm has been
successfully finding my RAID partitions and assembling my arrays at boot
time without it.

I've gotten a new 3TB disk (to replacing an old, failing disk), so I'm
setting up my first GPT partition table.

On my old (MBR) disk, parted shows my first partition as

1  32.3kB  1500GB  1500GB  primary  boot, raid

and I'm able to boot successfully.

On my new (GPT) disk, I am only able to install grub if I've set the
bios_grub flag (note that this flag doesn't appear in the man page,
though it does appear in the documentaiton at
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html#set) on my
partition.  If I set the boot or legacy_boot flags, I get

snowball:518$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot 
Partition; embedding won't be possible!.
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required 
for cross-disk install.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to set both the bios_grub and the
raid flags at the same time.  If I set the bios_grub flag, printing the
partition table shows no raid flag; if I set the raid flag, printing the
partition table shows no bios_grub flag.

Booting with the bios_grub flag set, my raid array isn't assembled
properly:  the partition with bios_grub set isn't added into the array
(fortunately, my other disk is good!).

So:  how can I go about setting up my new disk so I will have a two-disk
RAID array if both disks are good, and be able to boot with a degraded
array in the event of either disk failing?

Hi Martin,

that is, how it is configured here. So the reason is truely akonadi!
I had already akonadi in suspect, but throw away this thought, as I thought, 
akonadi is just another database.

Hmm, and yes, as kwallet is running in the background, too, and akonadi will 
use it, this explains another thing - akonadi sometimes mourns of wrong 
passwords, when kwallet is not running well. However, akonadi only mourns at 
IMAP accounts (I have only one).

Guess, the problem is solved so far.

However, it was not a big problem, but I disklike it, when I not know, what 
happens - best way, to change this, is learning!

Thank you!

Best regards

Hans

Akonadi also handles POP3 and IMAP access as well as SMTP.

If its running and accounts are configured to check for mail every x minutes 
Akonadi will do just that in the background.

Hi Erwan,

Is it because you know you have postfix installed so that is why you say

A misconfiguration? Who knows? It probably doesn't matter for your
problem.

There are only two ways to get email. Either it is delivered to you or
you go and collect it, often with POP3, What method do you use? Have it
delivered or go to collect?



master is the name of the main postfix process. But note that having a
MTA running won't get emails from the provider pop3 server...

Typically, you should also see a couple of smtpd processes as well as 
master.  Install the psmisc process and run pstree to get a handle on 
what's running, which processes own which other processes, and the order 
in which they all came up.


What's also missing here, is what DNS records are being advertised about 
your box.

Don't run an upgrade, simply force to install a version of that one  
package you want to upgrade.
OTOH even if you try to do it this way, by forcing to install one package  
by a special version, it could happen that other packages, that are

Perhaps you could build a package for this one what-ever-it-is and install  
this special version to opt?


You should provide the relevant info. What should be updated to a testing

Exactly! Master pointed me to postfix. But this does not explain, why I got the 
mails from the pop3 server.

I changed now postfix, so I get 

lsof -i:25
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
master  24703 root   12u  IPv4 334547  0t0  TCP localhost:smtp (LISTEN)

Now it isu listening only to localhost and no more to all (see my mails 
before, there was an asterix instead of "localhost").

I will watch this! Hope now, it will be fixed. Otherwise please allow me to ask 
again.

Thank you very much for all the help. If it is fixed, I will tell you, 
promised!

Best 

Hans

master is the name of the main postfix process. But note that having a
MTA running won't get emails from the provider pop3 server...

How to understand which access control mechanism is in use for X server?

[Martin T]

Hi,

there are multiple access control mechanisms for X server like access based
on host(xhost) or access based on cookie(xauth). Are both usually enabled
at the same time? If yes, then which one is checked first? Are both active?
I mean for example once I enable host with xhost, then do I need to
configure xauth as well?



regards,
Martin

How do you know it is postfix? There is nothing here which indictes it.
Is it because you know you have postfix installed so that is why you say
"looks like postfix".?

A misconfiguration? Who knows? It probably doesn't matter for your
problem.

There are only two ways to get email. Either it is delivered to you or
you go and collect it, often with POP3, What method do you use? Have it
delivered or go to collect?

No, no. I mean that there will be (in fact, already are, but not quite
reached the market yet) the original console device by Valve, called
"SteamMachine", with SteamOS as it's operating system. There'll be many
different flavours of "SteamMachines" with different hardware specs.
SteamOS is pretty much the side result of a SteamMachine campaign.
While it's possible to install SteamOS on your PC, I just don't
see much sense in it, to be honest, as every game ported to SteamOS,
should also work on Ubuntu/Debian/whatever.

I'm aware that SteamOS should be a pretty full-featured Linux
distribution (at least, I hope so, and it looks this way). Still, Valve
themselves say "SteamOS will not replace your primary OS, it is a
"living room OS"", which obfuscates things a bit. So I guess the only
way to find out for sure what it's really about is to go ahead and
install it.

stable mix testing

[Pol Hallen]

Hi all! I've a strange problem: debian stable with mate desktop: with 
only stable sources list I don't have any upgrade to do, I added testing 
repository like it:


/etc/apt/sources.list

# STABLE
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
# MATE
deb http://repo.mate-desktop.org/debian wheezy main
# TESTING
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

/etc/apt/preferences

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500

apt-get upgrade

The following packages will be upgraded:
libfaac0 libsqlite3-0 mate-backgrounds mate-icon-theme mate-themes

Also commenting mate repository I've same problem. I need keep debian 
stable and upgrade only one package. Is this because mate has become to 
debian (testing?). How keep whole debian stable and install a package 
(only one yes -) from testing? Any idea?


thanks!

Hmm, looks like postfix. 
lsof -i:25
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
master  10288 root   12u  IPv4  15076  0t0  TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)

So, postfix is listening? Maybe I misconfigured it.

As far as I can see, Long Wind is the only person who _does_ think 
that.

No-one has persuaded him to run one.  He says that he tried to boot 
Knoppix 7, but it failed (??).  He may have tried to boot the DVD of 
Knoppix 7.x, which might well fail due to lack of memory.

A complete inability to run any form of Linux sounds to me more likely 
to be PEBKAC than anything else, given that he reckons that the 
hardware is O.K.  It can run XP!! :-/

You'll see what smtp server is on.

Note that a smtp server is needed by several basic Unix utilities (like
cron).

I think, they were downloaded, for two reasons. First, they are already there, 
when I start my MUA. Second, if I start my other computer, the mails I know 
they were existent, can no more be downloaded, when - and that is important 
now - I started my other debian computer, where I NOT started any MUA.

Hmm, so is akonadi downloading my mails? Thought, akonadi is only a database 
like mysql or postgresql. Am I wrong?

So did you try to run the netinst cd with just the suggested (by the
installer) options. Basically just pressing enter, provide a root paaswd
and a user and passwd for the user?
That did fail? And how exactly?

Again, what do you mean by "everything was ready"?
Did you have a running system? Did it boot into console?
If you want to install a desktop environment it is always best to do that
either by tasksel or selecting one of the meta packages:
apt-get install xfce4
should install all you need.

Again, please be precise with your error messages:
At what point did it abort with the failed message. What exactly did fail?
Some amd64 systems seems to have an issue with the grub-efi.
Changing to legacy BIOS should safe that issue.

You keep repeating "DE would not load". What actually do you mean by that?
Does the computer boot? Do you try to start X manually and that fails?

Sorry, Lisi. I didn't see any reference to that in the previous email. In
that case, the second link might be of more help. The following exchange
on a web forum may also help clarify the syntax:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=860631

In any case, isn't it strange that Linux won't boot because it "can't
correctly detect memory map" on a system with only 1GB of memory? Are we
sure that's the root of the problem? Is it possible to run a live distro 
from CD, for instance?

Mail without MUA?

[Hans]

Hi folks,

I am wondering, why debian has already downloaded, although I got no MUA 
started. When I start kmail, all mails are already downloaded. 

Do you have any clue, where I can look, and which MTA might be resp0onsible 
for it? I suspected postfix, but it looks like there is another MTA running. 
Weird too, that this one must know my passwords for mail.

Thanks for any hints.

Best

Hans

Just be aware that the only reliable information lsusb gets from the
device is the manufacturer/device id (04e8:6860 in your case). It then
looks up what that device is in a database on your computer. If the
database is out of date (hint: sudo update-usbids), then the
human-readable description will be wrong. Basically, it's possible that
the S2, the Tab 10.1 and the S3 all share the same device id.

what do you get when you type the command:

Bus 001 Device 027: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100

and that is wrong, it is showing my galaxy tab 3, which isn't plugged

At what point does a

Knoppix
SystemRescueCD
Puppy Linux
GParted Live

or any other live media stop startup?

If the small Live Linux you use should come with a picture during
startup, press Esc or F1 to F12, one of the keys should make the startup
messages visible.

On jessie, with kde I can connect in MTP mode. However it only works
when I plug the phone on USB3 ports (on usb2 mtp-detect detects a mtp
device, but not mtp-probe)

Go check the pages in the links in that - you set up your own machine
with the software, and it gives you desktop access so you can configure
things to your heart's content.  Hmmm, I guess you're creating a
"SteamMachine" in the sense that the install software will completely
wipe out whatever is already on the hard drive (is that what you were
referring to?).  I think the point is that there are people who want to
play games on their TV (the console crowd) but don't necessarily want to
have their regular computer that they do their other work on in the
living room.

Anyway, I think it's great that they're doing it, and that the Linux
flavor they chose to build it off of is Debian.  I think that may well
give our favorite flavor a bit more exposure to a wider audience ("well,
it's the basis for my SteamMachine's OS; maybe I should check it out for
my PC needs!").  Well, it's a thought, anyway. :-)

There should be no additional packages: ruby1.9.1 just depends on

  libruby1.9.1 (= 1.9.3.484-1), libc6 (>= 2.2.5)

which should already be installed on your machine if you have
apt-listbugs.

If you used apt-get, try with --no-install-recommends.

Jwm desktop background image

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

I found out that setting up a wallpaper does work like this:

[...]
  
  Esetroot -m /usr/share/wallpapers/Grass/contents/images/1280x1024.jpg
  
[...]

The Debian example file and explanations in the Internet claim that this
should work too:

[...]
   
[...]
  /usr/share/wallpapers/Grass/contents/images/1280x1024.jpg
[...]
   
[...]

This doesn't work on my machine.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Ralf

But this can't be used in interactive mode (though one doesn't lose
anything compared to dict, since dict doesn't have an intereactive
mode).

You can use `fold` for that.  In fact, here is what I use:

$ sdcv -n --utf8-output --color "$@" 2>&1 | fold --width=$COLUMNS | less -FRX

The `--color` option is new in 0.5.0, and you may need to use
`$(tput cols)` instead of `$COLUMNS` if running from a script.

Yeah, MTP is a pain.  I wish there was at least a choice for a standard
USB generic mass storage mount option...  oh well.

The best MTP software I've found is go-mtpfs.  Unfortunately I don't
think it is packaged, but it is easy to build and put in $HOME/bin/
It uses FUSE like the other options, but is _much_ faster.  You can find
it here:
  https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs

If you're going to build it yourself, you'll need to install these
packages first:
% apt-get install golang-go golang-src libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev

There seem to be pre-compiled binaries you can download too (YMMV with
those).  You'll probably need to install the libusb-1.0-0 library
anyway.

I just mount/unmount manually.  One could write a udev/udisks2 rule to
automate this I suppose.

HTH,

 Bug is in ruby-debian which does not provide debian_version.so for ruby 1.8

 You may comment out everything in /etc/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs until it

One alternative may be to use GVFS. Have a look to see if your
gvfs-backends package supports mtp ("apt-cache show gvfs-backends" will
say), then perhaps something like gvfs-fuse will do.

MTP and Android phones

[Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum]

Hi, i'm running Wheezy. I used to have an older Android phone that Just Worked 
with my system, but I upgraded it to one running Android 4.2, and now i can no 
longer figure out how get it to talk to my computer.

Ive Googled and tried to read up about MTP, but im still not sure how to get 
things working--different sites have you download and compile things from 
scratch, which seems crazy that you can't just plug your phone in. I did 
install mtp-tools, but i can't find mtpfs that many of the sites say you need 
to have.

All i want is to be able to plug my phone in via USB and have it visible in the 
filesystem, whether through Thunar or on the commandline. Being able to have it 
work with Banshee wuold be nice too, but i assume that if the phone is visible 
then it will work with any tools.

Thank you.

Jen

You say you installed a basic system but your idea and mine about such a
system might differ. I would boot a netinst image in expert mode, set up
the network and, when partitioning, make a single ext4 filesystem on one
of your disks. That is, no RAID, no LVM, no xfs, no encryption. Just
plain and simple and straightforward; you can change this later when you
know where you are up to.

Install the base system but, at the tasksel stage, no extra software.
Then get GRUB and boot into the new system. Spend some time exploring it
with top, free, lspci and lsusb. Install some small packages: gpm, less,
mc etc.

Now for X: xserver-xorg isn't a metapackage; xorg is. You'll want a
window manager too. So

   apt-get install xorg fvwm

and then 'startx'. Play about with what you have; reboot a few times to
make sure everything (mouse, keyboard, display etc) works.

You want something more complex to use with X ? Xfce?

   apt-get install xfce4 lightdm

If you decide to reinstall and add some bells and whistles you should
now have a reasonable idea how operational the machine is.

how to specify kernel parameter "memmap="

[Long Wind]

I can't boot many Linux, probably because linux can't correctly detect
memory map
so I have to specify myself, below is copied from kernel-parameters.txt


memmap=exactmap [KNL,X86] Enable setting of an exact
E820 memory map, as specified by the user.
Such memmap=exactmap lines can be constructed based on
BIOS output or other requirements. See the memmap=nn@ss
option description.


Could you help me specify "exactmap"?
I can't find details about it.
Thanks in advance!

(I go to bed now)

It surely is! Though SteamOS, I believe, is gonna see much more use
on SteamMachines, than on PCs, and personally, I'm not a console guy,
but all the SteamOS-compatible games should be reverse
Linux-compatible, and that's great. It's a pity though, that
Steam client doesn't work on Wheezy out of the box, that's part of the
reason I decided to move on to Testing/Sid again. In any case, Valve
are responsible for my return to gaming after 4 or 5 years almost
completely out of the gaming world after ditching Windows completely.

Thanks for your suggestion!
I've been busy solving the problem, no luck
I am tired, very very tired

I will try the CD in the future.

Yes, but that should work. I read your mail as it does not work if you
enhance to the $HOME to group writeable or something like that.
I did not verify that case at all.

So I would start with setting it up user access only and try to add ACLs
to make it group writeable or whatever is required later on.

No,
$ cat /etc/debian_version 
7.3
$ dpkg -L proftpd-basic|grep sftp
/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_sftp.so
/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_sftp_sql.so
/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_sftp_pam.so

No, it's a standalone implementation.

True, you can of course do nasty quirks with iptables to NAT to different ports
depending on the source IP. But that is really nasty.

Though nothing prohibits you from building a package based on the last version
found on snapshot.debian.org or just use the source Luke. ;)

Different implementation/software for a similar/same task.

Well I can mostly speak for the scponly case: Parsing commandline arguments
in a safe way for different tools like svn, rsync etc. is hard. If you disable
most of that and only stick to the sftp support it's quite solid.

Still if I've a chance I would try to rely on the sftp-internal and chroot()
functionallity of OpenSSH.

It's times like this that I really wish more people knew about the
multi-arch (i386/amd64) CD image.

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.3.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/

I assume there's a technical reason why there's not a multi-arch netinst
image, though.
