alternative to avidemux?
Hi, I’m looking for an alternative to avidemux. I need it for two specific tasks: a) cut and remux videos without reencoding (so you can cut a 30min chunk in a 3h video without loosing quality) b) burn in .ass/.ssa subtitles (this is the Substation alpha format, where you can do fancier things than with srt) + It should have a gui, especially for the (a) task (to locate precisely the in/out cutting points). I used to do this with avidemux when I was on ubuntu and it worked all right. But avidemux is not part of the official Debian packages. It is on deb-multimedia, but I’d prefer not to enable a whole repo just for this. I did compile avidemux successfully in the past, and it worked. But now it’s broken probably due to some upgrade I did meanwhile… So before I set to recompile it, I was wondering if maybe some other program in debian (Jessie) includes the above features.

Re: File transfer
Quoting David Christensen (dpchr...@holgerdanske.com): Verifying the image by wiping the system drive and then restoring the image: 1. Wipe the system drive using your tool of choice (such as the drive manufacturer's bootable utility disc). 2. Perform imaging steps 1 through 7, above. 3. Verify the checksum of the image file: # cd /mnt/image/p43200 # md5sum -c p43200-20150227-2200-debian-7-amd64-xfce-op.img.md5 4. Restore the image file to the system drive: # dd if=p43200-20150227-2200-debian-7-amd64-xfce-op.img of=/dev/sdc Look at the block count when done -- it should match what you started with. (Things might be goofy if the system drive and the image destination drive use different block sizes.) 5. Perform imaging steps 10 and 11, above. 6. Boot the system, log in, and have a look around. If everything looks good, proceed with using the computer. If it's broken, wipe the system drive, do a fresh install, and try again. I don't know how to have a look around. If everything looks good, proceed with using the computer. Not a clue. OTOH having generated an md5sum of the backup, why not just pipe a repeat dd into md5sum and see if they match. If you must be thorough, then wipe and restore the system and dd | md5sum again. Another small point; by do a fresh install, do you mean repeat your restoration? Or install afresh, ie from scratch? An unrelated question is how often do you do all this, and how do you age your image. By age I mean how long do you treat it as a valid image because your live system is evolving from the moment you start reusing it after imaging it. Myself, I prefer to archive (original and modified) copies of any system files I change, any configuration commands I've used, package lists, non-Debian debs etc. and re-install from scratch.

That's fantastic. Thanks so much
You're quite welcome.
Note that there's somewhat-ongoing work, under I think that same bug, to

continuing the work of which these changes were the first step, and
partly in response to complaints about these changes); if and when those
new changes land, there's zero guarantee that this existing CSS will
continue to be effective, and it might even break things.
Just keep it in mind that if the Compose dialog gets broken when
upgrading to an even newer Icedove version later on, you should probably
try removing these userChrome entries as a first diagnostic step.
If the result doesn't work, or if it's too confusing to try to put
together the necessary CSS from the multiple snippets, let me know
and I can try to pull out the correct pieces from my own
userChrome.css and post them here. (Just posting the entire file
wouldn't do; I have several other changes, aimed at reverting
changes introduced since TB2.)
I would very much like to see your userChrome.css, even if it
contains many more changes. Perhaps people could find some other
useful tweaks. I did not know so much can be done with
userChrome.css.
It's very powerful, yes; the only difficulties are figuring out what the
elements you want to modify/remove are called, and dealing with cascade
effects if you want to override something as a default state but still
let other things override it again later.
My current userChrome.css is attached. Combined with a few prefs (some
of which are fairly obscure, and one of which I actually wrote - there's
another one I wrote which is due to land in TB38, I think), this reverts

include the message timestamp, which the TB2 one did. I haven't figured
out a reasonable way to add that via userChrome.css, however, and it
hasn't been worth the trouble for me to write an add-on for the purpose.
For example, can I hide the From field entirely (I am only ever
using one sender anyway, thus the field is useless). Also, is it
possible to make the input fields with round edges?
Almost certainly so. I'd advise reading up on the appropriate bits of
CSS; the border-radius property is suggested immediately by a naive
Google search on related terms:

Moving from a 686-pae kernel to amd64?
I installed this jessie setup on 10/02/14 from an old wheezy net-install disc dated 28/05/13! I'm in the process of downloading a jessie net-install for future installation. This setup is currently running a 3.16.0-4-686-pae kernel. Is it a good idea to convert to a 64bit kernel, specifically 3.16.0-4-amd64? And if it is a good idea, how do I do it? Is it as simple as downloading the 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel, reboot to it, and delete the 3.16.0-4-686-pae kernel?

The find command calls stat(2) on every file. Performance is strongly dependent upon the number of files and not the size of the file nor the amount of free space. If your system is gathering up a lot of little files then find will take longer to stat(2) each of those files. Strongly affecting system performance will be the amount of ram available to provide file system buffer cache for the file system. The tool I like the best to look at general system memory use is 'htop'.

It's just an annoyance and I was trying to understand the purpose of that assignment. I've read through some of that thread you pointed to and to be honest, it's not at all clear what problem was being solved. I'm still not entirely convinced it's useful. But it's easily dealt with so... :-) On a network server it isn't really useful. A network server will always have at least one network connection. The network will always be up and online. If the server only has one IP address then people get slack and start to assume that every machine has exactly one IP address and every IP address as a reverse DNS back to that one hostname in a one to one correspondence. That tended to be the classic legacy Unix programming model. It isn't true in the general case however and multi-homed hosts break those assumptions. Just because people did it, a lot, doesn't make it right. A mobile device such as a laptop or tablet is, well, mobile. People take them everywhere. They are always getting different addresses from DHCP. There isn't any interconnection between dhcp and /etc/hosts. You could write a hook script though so that every time an IP address comes in through dhcp then it could update the /etc/hosts file. On a desktop it could go either way. Does the desktop have DHCP? If so then the IP address assigned could vary from time to time. But of course you can always assign a static IP address to your home desktop too and then it looks more like a server. Think also of the mobile device. When offline between networks then the network device is offline. Let's say you were trying to use a VM on a laptop while on a train or airplane disconnected from any network. In that case if it required an IP address then you wouldn't be able to communicate. By using 127.0.1.1 on the lo loopback device then the problem of an offline network is avoided. The lo device is never offline. The lo loopback device is always available for local traffic and using 127.0.1.1 enables local communication regardless of the state of the external network. Bob P.S. That type of dynamic update is what Dynamic DNS is trying to do with the networked DNS data. MS-Windows hosts always try to do a Dynamic DNS update after getting an IP address and ignore the error when they can't.

Excuse me? Why is your DHCP server using 127.0.1.1? How is that even
working at all? That is completely wrong. Something is wrong with
your dhcp server configuration.
Such as? What in terms of DHCP configuration determines what source IP
address is used by dhcpd? DHCP is a bit special, operating on MAC
addresses rather than IP addresses, so I suppose many clients don't
care what IP address turns up. Windows 8 seems uncouth enough to expect
a real IP address, or at least the same address as was used earlier.
Can you share your dhcpd.conf file? Private mail for that would be
fine if you don't want to dump the entire thing to the list. Here is
a complete copy of a simple dhcpd that serves my wifi network.

What does your file look like?
I am using KVM on my machines. I am using 127.0.1.1 on my machines.
I use the ISC DHCP server as well as the dnsmasq server and I am not
seeing the problem you describe anywhere. What VM software are you
using?
None. All bare metal stuff.
Sorry. I confused you with the original poster who was using VMs and
dnsmasq for the dhcp server for them. Understand now that this is a
different case and you are using bare metal. That should make things
easier. Sorry for the mix up.
This is with Bind9 and the ISC DHCP server. And yes, 127.0.1.1 was
being used as a source IP address during the DHCP negotiation, after
the real server IP address had been used once.
Something is wrong with your dhcp server configuration. Please say
more about it. How is your networking set up? Are you using a
network bridge?
No. It's a two-NIC server running DHCP for the internal network,
linked with Bind9, fixed IPs on the NICs.
The use with BIND9 should be unrelated. Works great. But bind is
unrelated to dhcp.
Please install dhcpdump and then capture a trace of a dhcp exchange.
It is very useful for debugging dhcp issues.
dhcpdump -i eth1
Supposedly. It works fine with XP, Win7, various Debians and
Macbooks and a Humax TV recorder. And a Raspberry Pi running Wheezy
Raspbian. No dice with Windows 8, which of course I put down to W8
being broken. But that machine picked up addresses perfectly well in
other networks... What does a Windows DHCP server have that ISC
dhcpd doesn't? Or a cheap DSL router, for that matter.
One follows the standards and the other is windows? ;-)
When I got fed up, and W8 manual networking is a pain (who in God's
name ever thought APIPA addresses were a good idea? The one way to
*absolutely* *guarantee* that a computer won't operate in an existing
network), I put a packet sniffer on it, and lo and behold, there were
second and subsequent DHCP packets arriving with the offending source
address, and no further discussion from the W8 end.
ROTFL!
Remove the hosts entry, the problem goes away, and that's where I stop
trying to fix it. I cannot imagine why an Ethernet implementation would
ever allow a source address of the 127. persuasion to be used other
than on lo, so I'm not about to try to debug it.
Bad route? What is the output of this?

Nothing guarantees (nor any standard demands) that the hostname actually resolves to anything, not to talk about a valid public IP address. First let me say that I agree completely. I explicitly said that in my message. It is completely wrong. That doesn't change the fact that it is often coded that way. Second though is that there is a lot of things that are wrong with the world. It is often outside of your power to affect them. In which case you can only suck it up and work around the mess and deal with it. That one-sytem == one-IP model was commonly used in Unix software for years and years. It is still used. The two primary problem children that I see today are Synopsis and Cadence. However even they don't have the in house technical knowledge to fix their problems anymore. I gave up trying to tilt at those windmills long ago. The real lesson here is that people shouldn't be creating *new* software that relies upon that buggy model. How do we influence people so that we don't have this problem moving forward? The only way I know is to avoid having that configuration as the normal configuration. That is yet another point in favor of using a hostname mapped to 127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts. As the new generation grows up with that configuration then they won't make the old bad assumptions and won't code in that buggy operating model that causes people problems such as I described. BTW... If you want to look at something you might actually be able to fix then look at Spring RTS. It has been a while and I will munge the detail but last I played it that game made exactly the same assumption of passing IP addresses around and passing a 127 to the remote for connection. The remote client trying to join the game gets a 127 address and can't join itself. The two systems have to work in cooperation with one the server and the other the client so that remote IP addresses are passed between them.

Re: Moving from a 686-pae kernel to amd64?
Sharon Kimble wrote: This setup is currently running a 3.16.0-4-686-pae kernel. Is it a good idea to convert to a 64bit kernel, specifically 3.16.0-4-amd64? How much memory do you have in your system? If the answer is 4G or less then there is no advantage. Stay with the 32-bit kernel. If the answer is 64G or more then yes you should definitely use a 64-bit kernel. If the answer is between 4G and 64G then the answer is it depends and there are advantages and disadvantages to both. If you currently have a 32-bit system then I recommend staying there. A 64-bit kernel won't have much advantage for a 32-bit userspace. It is rather a pain to change from 32-bit userland to 64-bit. Not really worth it. Is your web browser exceeding 3G of ram image? If the answer is yes then you should re-install to a 64-bit userland. If the answer is no then stick with 32-bits. And if it is a good idea, how do I do it? Is it as simple as downloading the 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel, reboot to it, and delete the 3.16.0-4-686-pae kernel? Simply install the linux-image-amd64 metapackage, let it drag in the version numbered kernel, and then reboot to it. # uname -a Linux joseki 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u2 i686 GNU/Linux # apt-get install linux-image-amd64 Reading package lists...

You can start with https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/07/msg00809.html and then work backwards in time. Every scheme proposed and used solves one problem and creates a different problem. For me the 127.0.1.1 scheme solves most of the problems and I like it the best for my random desktop and server machines. But it doesn't work for large CAD/EDA engineering environments that run distributed processing. Basically the classic legacy Unix environment where IP addresses and hostnames are uniquely interchangeable. Software there asks, who am I? They then pass the IP address around. When that is 127.0.1.1 things are not happy. In that type of environment it must be set to the host-external LAN IP address. It is basically a poor assumption on the software's part but a lot of EDA/CAD code has been written that way. Most of the time it is easier to work around than to try to convince some company you are paying six figures a license for to fix it. But that doesn't work when the system is a multi-homed server with multiple IP addresses. Because no single IP address works on each of the attached networks. There is no single scheme that works for everyone. It tends to be annoying when using dnsmasq as a server for static hosts. You'll have to be more specific. It doesn't work with Windows 8, which refuses to accept 127.0.1.1 as a valid DHCP server IP address, and to be honest I can't say I blame it. Excuse me? Why is your DHCP server using 127.0.1.1? How is that even working at all? That is completely wrong. Something is wrong with your dhcp server configuration. I am using KVM on my machines. I am using 127.0.1.1 on my machines. I use the ISC DHCP server as well as the dnsmasq server and I am not seeing the problem you describe anywhere. What VM software are you using? This is with Bind9 and the ISC DHCP server. And yes, 127.0.1.1 was being used as a source IP address during the DHCP negotiation, after the real server IP address had been used once. Something is wrong with your dhcp server configuration.

What in terms of DHCP configuration determines what source IP address is used by dhcpd? DHCP is a bit special, operating on MAC addresses rather than IP addresses, so I suppose many clients don't care what IP address turns up.

No. It's a two-NIC server running DHCP for the internal network, linked with Bind9, fixed IPs on the NICs. Supposedly. It works fine with XP, Win7, various Debians and Macbooks and a Humax TV recorder. And a Raspberry Pi running Wheezy Raspbian. No dice with Windows 8, which of course I put down to W8 being broken. But that machine picked up addresses perfectly well in other networks... What does a Windows DHCP server have that ISC dhcpd doesn't? Or a cheap DSL router, for that matter. When I got fed up, and W8 manual networking is a pain (who in God's name ever thought APIPA addresses were a good idea? The one way to *absolutely* *guarantee* that a computer won't operate in an existing network), I put a packet sniffer on it, and lo and behold, there were second and subsequent DHCP packets arriving with the offending source address, and no further discussion from the W8 end. Remove the hosts entry, the problem goes away, and that's where I stop trying to fix it. I cannot imagine why an Ethernet implementation would ever allow a source address of the 127. persuasion to be used other than on lo, so I'm not about to try to debug it. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Can't get past authenticity of host popup with ssh
Ross Boylan wrote: I can ssh from machine A to B as user ross on both, using key-based login. ssh-agent is running under KDE on A. A is Debian wheezy, B is Debian squeeze. However, when I do the following sequence on A: sux # change to root with X credentials ssh -i /home/ross/.ssh/id_rsa ross@B A window pops up with the message The authenticity of host 'xxx' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is YYY. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? The title is OpenSSH Authentication Passphrase Request and it has 2 buttons, OK and Cancel. When I click OK I get a message, in my original terminal, Host key verification failed. I think there must be a problem/confusion in there surrounding the $HOME at that time. I suggest double checking $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts for every possible value of $HOME that you can postulate. Maybe that will turn up something. Clicking cancel doesn't change the result. Operating in a shell from which I have unset DISPLAY and the SSH_AGENT variables doesn't change the result (there's no popup, just an immediate verification failure). Try it with the idea that $HOME isn't correctly as expected. Using the command 'printenv HOME' can be useful because it avoids $HOME being expanded by the shell and will expand the actual value of it at that later time just like the real program. I would be very grateful if anyone could explain what's going and what I can do to get past this. I have checked permissions of the relevant files for ross and root on A, and they appear to be in order. On A, root's .ssh/ has only a known_hosts file. You are using sux which I never use. I am unfamiliar with the details and the details are what is needed to understand what is happening. If you sux a terminal (xterm or other) instead of an ssh what do you get for $HOME? In that terminal if you ssh to the remote host what do you get? (Unset DISPLAY to avoid the dialog and force in terminal errors if you get one.) I would also check and possibly unset SSH_ASKPASS too. I suspect that when you sux a terminal something will be different from what you expect. I have never encountered this popup before; I have only seen the Are you sure you want to continue connecting in the same terminal from which I ran ssh, and I can reply on the command line. I don't know where the popup is coming from. It sounds to me like this popup is part of KDE. I have seen both KDE and GNOME try to encapsulate ssh like this before. My speculation is that because of the popup all my responses are taken as No for continuing connecting. I have to run as root for sshuttle. If you sux a terminal then you will be root. Then use that shell to understand what is happening. Personally I would simply su or sudo in a regular terminal. I don't see a need to use sux for this. But each to their own. However you might try that in this case in order to probe the edges of the box. su - (or sudo -s, or sudo su -, or whatever) ssh ... By using su instead of sux I eliminated the popup and got past the host verification. Now that root on A has B in the known_hosts file I can connect from the sux session as well. Oh! I see you got past this but it took me so long to reply that I decided to leave the above in my mail anyway. I still do not understand where the popup came from and why it didn't work. Here's some more info on what ssh was doing during the failed connection: debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Server host key: RSA 14:d2:cd:ea:d3:a0:82:5b:25:b8:8d:00:ad:c5:54:68 debug1: checking without port identifier debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address debug1: permanently_drop_suid: 0 Host key verification failed. I think the popup happened after the last debug line above. If the host key verification failed then it is because of one of the host key files /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts or $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts doesn't contain the current key or doesn't match the current key. You likely do not have /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts therefore I suspect that $HOME isn't what you think it is at that moment due to sux setting it different from what you expect.

I do not think adding LABEL to your system would particularly give you anything which do not have already. I use it with USB sticks which move from machine to machine, The UUID may change but the LABEL doesn't. Debian always boots. Having said that, I do not think labelling with e2label would cause your system to go into blow up mode and the UUID is is still there. Changing means trusting my judgement.

Re: File transfer
On 02/28/2015 07:07 AM, David Wright wrote: I don't know how to have a look around. If everything looks good, proceed with using the computer. Not a clue. I call that the smoke test -- boot, log in, start some terminals, run some commands, start some applications, play some games, start the file manager, browse the file system, browse the network, play some music and videos, surf the web, log in via SSH from another machine, reboot, log in again, etc., looking for malfunctions. It's an informal, non-repeatable, quick and dirty spot failure test. Most imaging problems will cause a smoke test failure, but passing doesn't prove correctness. Ideally, there would be a complete system regression test to verify correctness, and each user would run that from their desktop. Please let me know if you find one. OTOH having generated an md5sum of the backup, why not just pipe a repeat dd into md5sum and see if they match. If you must be thorough, then wipe and restore the system and dd | md5sum again. You're right that it's probably more correct to feed the dd input to md5sum, rather than the output. I assume dd will throw an error message if the copying fails. I use USB flash drives for system drives, they are larger than my RAM, and therefore my kernel buffer cache doesn't contain all the blocks after dd runs. So, I md5sum the output because it's on a hard drive and takes less time. Another small point; by do a fresh install, do you mean repeat your restoration? Or install afresh, ie from scratch? fresh install = install afresh = install from scratch If the restored image fails to work correctly, there are at least the following possibilities: 1. Hardware failure. 2. System drive contained the flaws when imaged. 3. Imaging process failed. 4. Image restoration process failed. If #1 is the case, the machine should fail the smoke test after wiping and re-installing. If I fix and verify the hardware, restoring a good image should give me a working system. That leaves #2-4, which I assume were caused by operator error. So, I try again (wipe, install, smoke test, image, restore, smoke test) and pay more attention. An unrelated question is how often do you do all this, and how do you age your image. By age I mean how long do you treat it as a valid image because your live system is evolving from the moment you start reusing it after imaging it. I take system drive images after installation, prior to deployment, infrequently (3~6 months), prior to making big scary changes, after making big scary changes, and whenever else I feel the need. Aging isn't too big of a deal, because of Approx -- most or all of the updates since imaging should be local, so restoring, updating, and upgrading is fast. Myself, I prefer to archive (original and modified) copies of any system files I change, any configuration commands I've used, package lists, non-Debian debs etc. and re-install from scratch. I save downloads on the file server. I keep a system administration journal, a package list, and any configuration files I modify under version control (CVS). After re-install, I check out the old configuration files to a scratch directory and do the edits manually. (I've played with scripting certain common post-install chores, with limited success.) (We're going off topic...) Thank you for bringing me to the point of my backup digression: You transfer your files from an old machine to a new machine by backing up your files on the old machine and restoring them on the new machine.

Re: Moving from a 686-pae kernel to amd64?
I did exactly that several years ago with no problem. I installed an amd64 kernel at which point grub knew about both. Changed default boot to the new kernel and ran for a while. Once all was well I uninstalled the pae kernel. I did it mostly because I expect that amd64 is the dominant kernel in the future. Although I haven't needed to, I believe I could add 64 bits as a foreign architecture if I wanted to run a 64 bit process. What appears to be too hard to contemplate is changing the base process architecture to 64 bits. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
