Re: Wheezy fails to complete boot after last update
On 03/11/14 12:23 PM, Gary Dale wrote: After the last upgrade (kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64 and wget), I have a Debian/Wheezy server that isn't starting. It gets to the network then stops. The system isn't hung - it will still output messages to the screen when I plug and unplug USB devices, and I can use the SysRq key to do the reisub bit and see the messages from the various commands. When I boot to rescue mode, I get to the same point but it shows more network messages that seem to show the eth0 link is up, but it doesn't get beyond that. I can boot from sysrescuecd and everything works. And I can run the system in chroot and start the services I need for it do its job temporarily (bind, samba, cups) but I can't ssh to it. This is a pain because the server is remote (35 minutes away) so I can only work on it in person. And in person I have to steal a keyboard and monitor from another machine. Anyway, within the chroot I can view the various system logs but they don't show much. They show me (remotely) rebooting the server after the kernel upgrade then nothing until I chroot into it from sysrescuecd. Dmesg is similarly absent. The dmesg log is from the previous time I rebooted. The onscreen messages during a boot showed the system failing to load the firmware for the Realtek NIC (8111E) but installing the realtek firmware package didn't help - it just fixed the error message. The system is an ASUS M5A88-M mainboard with an AMD Fx4100 processor. It has a 3-disk mdadm RAID array setup as a RAID-1 /dev/md0 boot partition and RAID-5 /dev/md1p1 as root and /dev/md1p2 as /home. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can track down and/or fix this problem? Update: booting using sysrescuecd, I removed the /etc/rcS.d/S13networking link and rebooted into single-user mode. It completed OK, so I then ran /etc/init.d/networking start, which exhibited the same problems it did when run by init. However this time I was able to kill the process, at which point I noted the network had been started. Exiting from the single-user mode allowed the boot to continue to a normal command prompt. This still leaves me with the problem of not being able to reboot the computer remotely, since the workaround involves disabling the network. dmesg shows the following from the last boot: [ 181.805309] r8169 :03:00.0: firmware: agent loaded rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw into memory [ 181.917202] r8169 :03:00.0: eth0: link down [ 181.920948] r8169 :03:00.0: eth0: link down [ 181.928316] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 184.284849] r8169 :03:00.0: eth0: link up [ 184.292178] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [ 195.016023] eth0: no IPv6 routers present The eth0: link becomes ready line is the last line I get on the screen when I boot into single-user mode with networking enabled. The previous dmesg.0 log from two months ago shows instead: [ 10.391548] r8169 :03:00.0: firmware: agent aborted loading rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw (not found?) [ 10.391740] r8169 :03:00.0: eth0: unable to load firmware patch rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw (-2) [ 10.405264] r8169 :03:00.0: eth0: link down [ 10.405333] r8169 :03:00.0: eth0: link down [ 10.408540] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 11.061379] RPC: Registered named UNIX socket transport module. The first (firmware) message change reflects the installation of the firmware-realtek package in an effort to fix the problem. I'm guessing that the change is that networking is now bringing the link up because I switched to a static IP address, whereas previously it was brought up by dchp (with the router assigning an IP address using its internal dhcp server). This is my /etc/network/interfaces file: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.17 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 Should it have something about IPv6 in it (or at least somewhere)?

Multiple desktops in lightdm?
I've been using lightdm, and it more or less works. About a decade ago, on another ancient Linux, I could get multiple desktops, selected by ctl-alt-f7 through f12. Is there some way to set up something like that with lightdm? Just being able to dynamically add another desktop would be good, actually; they don't have to all be there at boot.

Browser font size selection for printer
I cannot get chrome or chromium (or Iceweaasel either) to print a web
page in a twelve-point font on my laser printer. It insists on using a
font that's about twice the size.
It even ignores my explicit request to set font-size in the css file:
@media print{
account-tree{
display: block;
margin: 10;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12pt;
}
}
@media screen{
account-tree{
display: block;
margin: 10;
font-weight: bold;
}
}
Further, there seems to be no setting option for this in any of these
browsers. The large font is destroying my page layout (which looks
perfectly OK in the browser itself).
I can adjust text size on the screen with control-plus and control-
minus, but there sees to be no way to do this for printer output.

Assuming your "set" is an Archlinux "device", the inclusion of an attribute
from the parent could be crucial. If, for example, two devices have the
same ATTR{size}, then ATTRS=={serial} should distinguish.

On one machine I had KERNEL=="mmcblk?" rather than "mmcblk?p1".
On another machine the number for ATTR{size} was wrong.

Wheezy fails to complete boot after last update
After the last upgrade (kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64 and wget), I have a Debian/Wheezy server that isn't starting. It gets to the network then stops. The system isn't hung - it will still output messages to the screen when I plug and unplug USB devices, and I can use the SysRq key to do the reisub bit and see the messages from the various commands. When I boot to rescue mode, I get to the same point but it shows more network messages that seem to show the eth0 link is up, but it doesn't get beyond that. I can boot from sysrescuecd and everything works. And I can run the system in chroot and start the services I need for it do its job temporarily (bind, samba, cups) but I can't ssh to it. This is a pain because the server is remote (35 minutes away) so I can only work on it in person. And in person I have to steal a keyboard and monitor from another machine. Anyway, within the chroot I can view the various system logs but they don't show much. They show me (remotely) rebooting the server after the kernel upgrade then nothing until I chroot into it from sysrescuecd. Dmesg is similarly absent. The dmesg log is from the previous time I rebooted. The onscreen messages during a boot showed the system failing to load the firmware for the Realtek NIC (8111E) but installing the realtek firmware package didn't help - it just fixed the error message. The system is an ASUS M5A88-M mainboard with an AMD Fx4100 processor. It has a 3-disk mdadm RAID array setup as a RAID-1 /dev/md0 boot partition and RAID-5 /dev/md1p1 as root and /dev/md1p2 as /home. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can track down and/or fix this problem? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want to do, you could just use sudo. Run 'visudo' to edit the /etc/sudoers file and add this line in the "User privilege specification" section: apt ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get * The NOPASSWD part is optional. You could omit it and the apt user would have to enter a password to run apt-get. The '*' is a wildcard. You could omit it and be specific, like this: apt ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get update apt ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get upgrade This would allow both of those commands to be run by the apt user. -Rob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The official name for the "weird red moving stars" is "animated boot time output for hanging jobs". But its unofficial name is the "systemd Cylon eye". This is the part that is undocumented. Your auto-generated systemd-cryptsetup@ jobs are of course hanging waiting for a response from the systemd RPC password prompting system that hands the passwords to them. Since you don't have plymouth, you're using the rather less prettified fallback password prompter that comes bundled in the systemd package that doesn't work too well with other console output happening at the same time. And again you have to start with reading the manual rather than with Google: * man -S 8 systemd-ask-password-console.service # (http://freedesktop.org./software/systemd/man/systemd-ask-password-console.service.html) * man -S 1 systemd-tty-ask-password-agent # (http://freedesktop.org./software/systemd/man/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent.html) Yes, the plymouth documentation is from the Use The Source Luke school of badly written documentation. You have to read the developer doco to even find a mention of the word "password", and even that's almost incidental. Here's the source, Luke, for what it's worth: * http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/tree/systemd-units/systemd-ask-password-plymouth.service.in * http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/tree/docs/development.txt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
