Different behaviour handling NFS mounts after login

2014-07-02 Thread Joerg Desch
I've recently replaced Linux MINT on 3 machines with Debian Wheezy and 
GNOME3.4. All of my "shares" are mounted with NFS. For this purpose I use 
the following options (on all installations):

rw,_netdev,hard,intr,user,nosuid,exec,async,auto

Two of the machines opens Nautilus after each login. Neither the other 
installation of Debian nor a remaining MINT installations shows this 
behaviour.

What's the problem here? Should I change something in the mount options? 
Or is this a setting within GNOME?

Yeah, I already that this was the problem. I downloaded the package "dpkg"

Yes, this is working well. Thze other way is, to download the package using 
apt or aptitude, then look into with midnight commander. MC can look into 
packages. I am an old "Norton Commander guy" from DOS times. :)

The problem is solved. It is still not quite clear for me, why dpkg is causing 
the problem on an installed package, but I see this problem as solved.

Thank you very much for your help!

Ouch. This means that user cannot execute dpkg itself.

And this proves it. This is definitely wrong, anyone should be able to
execute dpkg.

BTW, to check 'stock' file permissions that should be set on a package

My experience is similar -- about a year ago, EFI-laptop+Windows8+Ubuntu:

Switching from grub does not work.
However switching from the UEFI-Bios does.
So now the way (what works for me):
- switch to legacy-bios, boot linux
- switch to 'modern' (EFI), boot windows.

Yeah its a few more keystrokes than good-ol grub, but its not quite:
"can't boot Windows *at all*"

Yes you have, by accepting the installer's suggestion :

You as the user have the final choice. You have to decide if the
installer's suggestion fits your needs and constraints. The installer
doesn't know about them.

Yes, but LVs usually contain filesystems, and as you have seen, online
shrinking of a mounted filesystem is often difficult or impossible. So
it is better to avoid this kind of situation.

If you can grow the PV (e.g. by adding a new disk) when you need to grow
a LV, then it is fine to allocate all the space of the initial PV.
However if you cannot grow the PV, then it is better to leave some of
the PV space initially unallocated and to grow LVs from that free space
when needed.

Bug in mediathekview?

2014-07-02 Thread Hans
Hello list, 

I believe, there is a problem with the rights management in the package 
"mediathekview". 

When starting in KDE, mediathekview does not start at all. Starting from 
console, I get this:

LANG=C mediathekview 
/usr/lib/java-wrappers/jvm-list.sh: line 25: /usr/bin/dpkg: Permission denied

Ok, so let’s start as root:

su -p
root@protheus2:~# LANG=C mediathekview 

==
 MediathekGui #  Start 0 [ms]: 0

Good, it is starting! But want to see the first video gives this output:

Which wordlist do you have installed? Every wordlist package should call
/usr/sbin/update-default-wordlist --rebuild upon configuration assuming
dictionaries-common is actually installed.

If not, this is a bug. [It's probably also a bug that
dictionaries-common doesn't recommend a wordlist, but that's a different

You can't, 'cos these letters do not have the same code
in either encoding.
(But your case is interesting; may be a rewritten grep,
including conversions, would be of interest).

AFAIK, this is the only way to be able to perform what you want.

Dictionary changes

2014-07-02 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all,

This is a known problem, but just in case anyone doesn't remember, as
installed, the following symlink:

/usr/share/dict/words -> /etc/dictionaries-common/words

doesn't work, because /etc/dictionaries-common/words doesn't exist upon
installation. The following command (run as root) fixes the problem:

/usr/sbin/update-default-wordlist

Another thing to remember is that the wordlist is no longer ASCII,
which can trip you up in searches if you forget that. For instance, I
have the following shellscript, called dict:


cat /usr/share/dict/words | grep -i "$1"


If you look up ^smor.*rd$, you get nothing. But if you look up ^sm.*rd$
you get smörgåsbord. What I'd like to do is get grep to think "å" is a
hit for "a" and report it, but report it as "å". I'll let you know when
I figure out how to do that, or do some other thing that produces the
same result. Prepending LC_ALL= either C, C.UTF-8, en_US.utf8, or
POSIX, to the grep command, didn't do it either.

If worst comes to worst and I can't find a way to get grep to do this,
I'll just put together a substitution table,
convert /usr/share/dict/words to words.ascii, line for line, search
words.ascii, get the line number, and pull that line out of words.
Crude, but effective.

Is it a bug maybe?

I don't know if it's related. His fix (using Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot) 
doesn't work for me. I haven't been able to boot my installed Jessie at 
all. And I've tried a lot of things (see my original mail) over maybe a 
hundred reboots.

Attaching an external USB 3.0 self-powered hard drive to NAS

2014-07-02 Thread Mr Captain


Hi!
I'd like to know if nobody ever had issues attaching an
external hard drive USB 3.0 self-powered to a backup server like NAS.

The same machine had attached an external hard drive USB 3.0,
I wonder if something change since this one is self-powered.
Thanks

Best Regards
Niko

Deluge disappears

2014-07-02 Thread criego duncan
I'm running debian testing and keep it pretty up-to-date.  I did
'aptitude update' then 'aptitude dist-upgrade' both yesterday and the
day before.  Last night i noticed that deluge was completely gone from
my system.  I never intentially uninstalled it.  So i looked through the
dpkg & aptitude logs in /var/log and the string "deluge" does not appear
in any of these files.

The one unusual thing is that the day before yesterday i deleted
everything that had to do with enlightenment (e17), which i had been
using and installed openbox & lxpanel.

This seems totally bizarre to me.  All the deluge packages i had
installed (i was running the classic interface) were gone.  I
reinstalled and so now they're back, but my configuration is not being
picked up because it no longer recognizes any torrents as being present.

How could several packages disappear from my system (a) without my
explicitly doing it (deluge & deluge-gtk would not be automatically
removed due to dependencies because they're not dependent on anything)
and (b) with no trace of this happening in /var/log/aptitude* &
/var/log/dpkg* ???

Thanks! I completed wizard as you said and then lsusb to find my stick, then

sudo kvm -m 2048 -smp 1 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/win.img \
-usb -usbdevice host:058f:6387 -boot menu=on

where /var/lib/libvirt/images/win.img is my empty VM created through

You have a few options:

Check your ISP speeds with a few of the websites that offer a speed 
analysis. Be mindful of peak Internet hours, not necessarily on your 
end with your FIOS connection but on the servers/services you are 
connecting to.


Check the response times from the servers in your source list and 
modify them to other servers accordingly.


Use the Debian mirror redirector to direct you to a closer mirror. 
Replace your currently configured Debian mirror in sources.list with 
the following address:


http://http.debian.net/debian
e.g. deb http://http.debian.net/debian stable main

Best regards,

Donald Norwood


Actually, I've done all of the above. I am using the debian.net URL's. 
My ISP speed always measures as advertised. The problem never shows up 
on measurements but  only after the download has been going for a bit. 
It's like someone says "well this guy has gotton enough so lets  slow 
his access down. The effect seems to be independant of time of day or 
day of week. I do notice a, maybe, 10% drop in speed during the busier 
times but nothing like the factor of 20 or more that I am refering to 
with this problem. My 10 minute downloads all of a sudden become 2 hour 
downloads.
