LibreOffice reads WP documents quite well in my experience. However if 
you want a version running in Linux, just set up a virtual machine and 
run your primary computer's copy.


Wine and its derivatives can generally handle Windows programs but 
virtual machines provide a pretty good alternative when you want the 
program to work like it does on Windows. I use KVM myself and find it 
great for most purposes but when a friend needed something to run 
AutoCAD, it required Vmware. I think VirtualBox has caught up a bit 
since then in the area of graphics processors.


Way back, I actually used Corel's Linux with WP and found it better 
than the alternatives at the time. However things have progressed 
rapidly since then and my advice is to make the switch to LibreOffice. 
It's cross-platform, current, maintained and uses the ISO standard 
data formats so you won't be stuck in the future.
If you can't tolerate the strictures of LO, take a look at Softmaker 
Office. I don't know if it reads WordPerfect, but it reads and writes 
all the modern formats.
There's a free version for non-commercial use, and it seems to have just 
about all the pay version has. Don't know if there is a .deb install 
version; there

is an rpm. There is a word processor, a spreadsheet, and Presentations.

The literal easiest way is probably to reinstall from scratch as a
minimal system, then install openssh-server.


If you want to transform your current system by removing
externally-accessible services, I don't know of a strictly "easy" way,
but if I wanted to do that on a machine under my control, what I'd do
is:

* Get a list of open ports by running 'nmap localhost' (or by running
  nmap against the system from a different machine, which might give
  more reliable results).

* Do some guesswork against the installed package list to figure out
  what might be opening each of the listed ports.

* Remove all of those packages except for the chosen SSH server package.

The guesswork is the difficult part, and although it doesn't seem
terribly difficult from my end when I do a trial run (omitting the final
"remove" part) on my own system, I can imagine that it could easily
enough be more difficult under your circumstances. I don't have any good
suggestions for how to make it any easier.

easiest way to shut down all network services besides ssh?

2014-12-17 Thread Britton Kerin
I have a system that I would like to make accessible only by ssh.

No apache telnet ftp anything else.

What is the easiest way to achieve this?  It came from a vendor with
a slew of package of all sorts, so I don't even know everything that
I want to remove.

 Maybe you can ask them what that is:

mounting removable media without systemd on Jessie

2014-12-17 Thread Rob Owens
Just posting something I discovered recently in case anybody's interested...

On a Jessie system without systemd you can mount USB sticks and other
removable media using the pmount command, as others have pointed out on
this list.  I was looking for a gui method, and I've found it.  Spacefm
is a file manager that will use any of the following to mount removable
media:

udevil
pmount
udisks2 (depends on libpam-systemd)
udisks

I've tested its use with pmount and udevil and they both work.  I find
udevil a bit nicer, because I was able to get the mount point to be
/media/$USER/label by setting the following in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf:

allowed_media_dirs = /media/$USER

I'm not claiming that this is a perfect solution.  For instance, spacefm
and udevil are currently unmaintained.  But I thought some folks on this
list would be interested to know about this option anyway.

There was once (around 1995?) a WordPerfect version for Linux. It
worked, but it had terrible fonts. It has not been possible to install
that for at least the past 4 years, and probably longer, as the
dependencies can no longer be met. I have WordPerfect12 working on the
latest PCLinuxOS KDE, but not the spread sheet. It doesn't look real
nice on the screen, and it comes up with some difficulty, but it is
usable, if you are stubborn. I also have Corel Draw 9 and the
corresponding PhotoPaint working. Both of WP and draw are running in
WINE.

Err, that should have been {socket,service}, not {socket,status}.

But in any event, it looks like they're both disabled, and not running.
So I'm not sure why you said that it was unable to stop mpd.

You might find this site about using WP on Linux interesting:
http://xwp8users.com/
There's a section about running WP8 on current Debian-based distros.

And the corel.WordPerfect_Linux newsgroup at the cnews.corel.com server
still exists.

I know the guys from Dutch Debian Distribution Initiative are selling a
Debian "extra" DVD with the '"free edition" of WordPerfect 8 for Linux'.
Maybe you can ask them what that is:

The Linux version that got dropped has been mentioned.

It's a different OS, may well be a different CPU. You would need to
have an emulator to emulate the OS, and probably the CPU, as well.

It would be nice if such an emulator existed, but I doubt it. Writing
an emulator is hard work and takes a fair mount of time.

Worderfect 5 for the old classic Mac OS might run under one of the
Macintosh emulators.

Wine Is Not an Emulator, but it does something sort of like emulation
and allows some older versions of WordPerfect for DOS or MSWindows OS
x86 to run on Linux, as has been mentioned. Not very satisfactory,
however.

Better option is to set up a virtual machine (another kind of
emulator, really) to run MSWindows in and run a recent version of
WordPerfect  MSWindows version in the virtual machine. QEMU, Xen, and
some other VMs exist.

2014-12-17 Thread Ron
I still have the fourteen years old CDs of the Corel Linux distribution, which 
came with WordPerfect.

Re-installed it a couple months ago so I could print some old WP for DOS 
documents I had, which did not format properly in more recent versions, or 
under LibreOffice.

Had to dig out an old Pentium II box, as the install would not work on more 
recent hardware  ;-3(

Seems you can still find it for download on the net.

I  will not lose anything if  by chance my copy will only run in a Unix

I am not bothered paying for what I consider a worth while professional

Ok, I was guessing 1995, it was later. I found my copy of Corel WordPerfect 8

If you have a version for Unix, it might never have run on Linux at all. If 
you have some kind of Unix, you could always try it and see
what happens. There are various BCD versions around, which will supposedly 
run on a PC. I installed PCBCD, but I couldn't get it to boot

the fact that I "never" throw anything out, I can't find
the copy of Solaris I was going to offer you. It came from about 2000. If you 
know what kind of Unix the WP was made for, and what year,
I bet you can find a Unix that will run it, on eBay, or Amazon. Most Unixes 
were not free, however. Maybe the obsolescent ones are at

did--the Solaris I had would. If by chance I find it, I'll

Back in the mid-to-late 1980s, WordPerfect was running native on quite
a large number of Unix OSses. It was known as a cross-platform word
processor.

And the company was still small enough to care about things like that,
too. WordPerfect Corp getting to big did as much damage as the failure
to adjust the Mac version to the Mac environment, and was probably
what made the company weak enough for Microsoft to launch a sucessful
attack.

"service" _is_ quite capable of doing the right thing, so if it doesn't stop
mpd, the issue is in the mpd package.

OTOH, "invoke-rc.d" really is buggy in that regard, so if the issue shows up
during package updates/removals, it is invoke-rc.d's fault for not stopping
the socket service.

Because our support for systemd socket activation in invoke-rc.d is broken
(as in invoke-rc.d stop _does not_ stop socket-activated units, just the
main unit).  Every package that has socket activation is affected.

There's a bunch of bugs against invoke-rc.d about it, and I might even get
around to fixing the issue out of general annoyance soon[1], but it would be
best if someone that actually runs systemd did it and submitted a tested
patch.

[1] I expected to have done it already, but I got sidetracked and my Debian
time is greatly reduced right now.

Really? You "kill -9"ed the process, it failed to stop and you're
blaming systemd? I know systemd is the current whipping-boy but that
seems harsh to me.

First of all, see why mpd is unresponsive (it may be in the 'D' state,
which usually indicates that it's waiting for I/O - if that's the case,
the process doesn't even notice the kill signal). If you can't kill it,
then don't expect systemd to be able to, either.

It depends on where in the process the ISP does the scanning.

I've not heard of ISPs who scan mail in IMAP transactions.

When using a newer Linux kernel, most wifi adapters have a driver.
I think you mean non-free firmware.

In my opinion non-free firmware in wifi cards is something else. A
manufacturer could also use a ROM where they flashed it in, then loading
the firmware was not necessary. That code is not running on the main
processor.  Of cause I like free firmware more, like some more difficult
to find wifi cards offer.

But a wifi with free drivers is easy to find.

So far I saw on Youtube: yes.  And this is the case for most sites.

But I have seen sites where some older video's where not accessible and
where they ask for flash. Strange enough, it did sometimes help to
refresh the browser, sometimes it played then without problems.

Realize that tablets and smartphones don't offer flash too.

Problem with AFS token and sudo in Jessie

2014-12-17 Thread Christoph Schober
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear all,

I'm using Debian jessie with openAFS and Kerberos. I found a strange
behaviour that I could not pin down to a single package so far, maybe
somebody has any ideas:

The AFS token is gone after using sudo, first looking very
similar to the (solved) bug #621496 from 2011. After each sudo command,
one needs to use "aklog" to get a new AFS token.

Yet, I suspect that the bug is different from the 2011 one:

First, it not only happens for passwordless sudo, but also when the
user is forced to enter the password.

Second, I have a PC running with Jessie that does not show this bug -
this Jessie wasn't upgraded for some time (around September 2014).
Another PC which is up-to-date shows this bug, as well as a new
installation I did recently (which is also up-to-date). The config
files or our Kerberos/AFS setup did not change since I setup this PC,
only the packages were upgraded with apt-get. The problem now is: The
version of the libpam-afs-session package is the same in the working
and the non-working image.

In addition, I selectivly upgraded the openafs-krb5 and the
openafs-client as well as openafs-modules-dkms to the most recent
version in Jessie (the "starting point" see below). This did not
introduce the bug - sudo is still working as intended.

Since I'm not too familiar with AFS/Kerberos/PAM I decided to ask you if
you have any ideas what I could try to pin down the reason for this? Any
packages to upgrade to see if they are responsible for this?

If I should provide more details / config files / information, please
let me know. I'll see if I find the time to do a test setup with sid
to check the newest version of the packages, but maybe my problem is
far easier and somebody knows what to do.

Best regards,
Christoph Schober

jessie: samba/cifs ls rsync unusably slow (lstat)

2014-12-17 Thread christian weikusat

Dear all,

after upgrading to jessie I have a serious problem with a cifs mounted 
Windows share:
Directory listing is extremely slow. ls of a large directory can take 
several minutes, rsync comparison of directories (lstat call for every 
file) needs 30+ minutes (with wheezy: 23 seconds).
I tried downgrading samba and/or rsync to the wheezy versions but it did 
not help. Up- and downloads are still as fast as before, it's the same 
hardware as before.

Any ideas what else I could try?

Best regards,
Christian
