Jessie upgrade now means samba is no longer working

2015-05-14 Thread Alan Chandler

I recently upgraded from wheezy to jessie.

I was relying in samba providing guest access to various key folders in 
my home directory for virtual windows machines to have access to key data


After the upgrade samba no longer runs and if I try and start it it says 
"service is masked"


/etc/init.d/smbd and /etc/init.d/nmbd exist and I can use the service 
command to start them


But I don't appear to have these shares available to my virtual windows 
machines.


How can I make it so samba starts automatically (like it used to before 
the upgrade) and how can I make it so it provides guest access to these 
shares.


This is my (unchanged) /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = Home
security = share

wins support = no
printing = cups
printcap name = cups


[clienta]
path = /home/alan/clienta

Q: About the futex bug of linux-3.14

2015-05-14 Thread Takahide Nojima
Hello, 

 Does anyone know which the state of futex bug of linux-3.14 effects
debian?
(See: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!
topic/mechanical-sympathy/QbmpZxp6C64 )...(*1)

 I'm not sure this bug effects debian or not. And also should I send 
a bug report to debian BTS about this bug? 
 
 Additionally, that article (*1) says this bug is happen with haswell
cpu, but , as I checked upstream patch(*2), I see this bug could be
happen with other cpu or vm. Does anyone know about this?

(*2)
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/76835b0ebf8a7fe85beb03c75121419a7dec52f0

you did not mention what output device you try to use.  bluetooth sound
does not work in jessie. bluez-alsa was leftover from my wheezy upgrade.

after installing the packages (- bluez-alsa) you need to configure alsa
by creating .asoundrc file or, if the default device is correct, use
alsamixer to turn on volumes of the default card.

Not sure what you mean by "downloaded firmware". Are you okay with
Debian packaged firmware?

If you're willing to use nonfree, there are certainly plenty of
options, e.g.:

out of the box wifi adapter

2015-05-14 Thread Raymond Jennings
I need to install a wifi adapter to my newly built desktop machine.

It needs to attach to either usb or the rj45 port, and I'd like to avoid
models that require downloaded firmware or ndiswrapper or the like.

Any options out there?  I'm willing to buy stuff online if needed.

The N300 from netgear I have isn't installing, even on the netinst cd with
firmware.


Jessie: Set up Samba and Winbind, can't log in to the domain

2015-05-14 Thread Dalton D
Hello!

I'm trying to install Pykota on Debian Jessie. At the moment, I'm trying to
get it so that I can log in to the system with Active Directory accounts. I
set up Samba and Winbind correctly but still can't do this. From the
syslog, it seems that Winbind is crashing when I try to log in.

I can get a list of users by doing wbinfo -u. I can also get correct
entries using getent passwd.

The relevant part of my syslog: http://pastebin.com/5SkkwA1d

My smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/FR4F44kT

I installed all the needed packages using apt and the system is fully
upgraded. Winbind is enabled in pam-auth-config.


Log in failure

Just trying to log in for support and the debian.org page is sending
back "log-in failure". Just installed "jessie" from netbook ISO,
installed graphically on t-40 IBM (1.5 gig ram) went seemingly well, but
on boot states no firmware or radeon drivers loaded then continues on to
run quite well when desktop appears after log in. ID's wireless networks
but keeps re prompting me to connect to wifi every 30 seconds. Apologies

Are you running a 64bit system? Type   man dpkg   and read about
--add-architecture which will let you install packages for a
different architecture. Those packages are all installed on my
jessie/i386 system.

Sounds like it. Do you still have any entries in the file

I doubt it. Reinstalling will only affect system-wide settings, if at
all. The mail data is stored in your home directory.

Try renaming them, e.g., .iceape to .seamonkey.

Are you using GNOME (the default) in Jessie? If so, the device should
appear in the nautilus sidebar, with an 'unmount' icon next to it.

Re: Upgrade to Jessie freezes when Grub configuration file is being generated

2015-05-14 Thread Pierre Chausse
I finally found a way to bypass the grub installation that was hanging. 
Just did

pkill grub*

Then I added
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
to /etc/default/grub
and typed
update-grub

The upgrade is now smooth and fast.
However, it still takes about 5 minutes to reboot with the same messages 
shown below.

and then it reboots.

For me upgrade problem, it comes from the update-grub, if I run it I 
can the same

I will try to purge and reinstall grub. I have seen it as a solution 
for Ubuntu

Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at ftp.fr.debian.org Port 80

The uk site looks like the us one (including the UTC time zone).

This is what makes me think it's in the network, or apt's
configuration for reacting to such differences in servers. And I think
that the bug Ralf Katz mentioned (624122) was concerned partly with
the introduction of .xz compression.

I'm not myself familiar with how web servers and their clients, or
indeed wget, handle this area.

Cheers,
David.

"OpenObex" makes sense in a weird way.

>From Wikipedia:

The obex (from the Latin for barrier) is the point in the human brain at which 
the fourth ventricle narrows to become the central canal of the spinal cord.

The obex occurs in the caudal medulla.

The decussation of sensory fibers happens at this point.

Clinical significance

Lesions at the location can result in obstructive hydrocephalus. The most 
common lesion at this location is a subependymoma, a benign tumor.[1] 
Hemangioblastoma has been observed in this location.[2] Neurological surgical 
intervention in the treatment of syringomyelia or hydromyelia may involve 
plugging the obex to prevent the transmission of cerebrospinal fluid to the 
central canal of the spinal cord.

But I see: PluggedObex would be more benign.
Should WIndows ever become open source it can be called OpenObex, I guess ...

A small reservation, much as we are advocates of http.debian.net in
these parts. If the intention is to eliminate the mirror as a source
of a problem it may not be sufficient. For whatever reason, the
redirector may still choose the mirror you do not want as the best
one to use.

Ok, you want to upgrade our amd64 laptop to Jessie but this 'Hash Sum
mismatch' doesn't appear to be amenable to the usual treatment such as
changing mirror, deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/ or waiting for the problem
to sort itself out etc, etc.

You could try bypassing the 'apt-get update' step and upgrading from
there.

1. Have

 deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian jessie main

   as the only line in sources.list.

2. Delete files in /var/lib/apt/lists and the subdirectory partial.

3.   cd /var/lib/apt/lists

4. Download Translation-fr.bz2, Packages.gz and InRelease:

 wget 
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/i18n/Translation-fr.bz2
 wget 
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
 wget http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/InRelease

4. Uncompress Translation-fr.bz2 and Packages.gz.

5.   mv Translation-fr 
ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_i18n_Translation-fr
 mv Packages ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-i386_Packages
 mv InRelease ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_InRelease

6. Check the result of these steps for a package you know you have on
   the system.

 apt-cache show aptitude | less

7. Upgrade to Jessie with 'apt-get upgrade' and apt-get 'dist-upgrade'.

An alternative open to you would be to update on laptop2 and copy the
three files over.

Not being able to reproduce your problem I don't know how well this will
work for you. But it should keep you off the streets for a while this
evening. :)

Well, that looks fine. Bear in mind that the wget'd Packages is still
compressed with gz, though not in name (ie no .gz suffix).

The question here (having not seen files like this on my system) is
what does FAILED mean.

> partial/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages
>8b72b60bfb915f1fd4bc043e1288b1ff  
> partial/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_main_binary-amd64_Packages

That is the correct digest for the Packages file but compressed with
.xz rather than .gz ...

>ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_jessie_Release:

... as confirmed here. If you decompress it with
unxz -c ...Packages > /tmp/Packages
and then
md5sum /tmp/Packages
you may see ...

>->> grep 7da350516909a92ebfe504d8b0bde8a6 *

> 7da350516909a92ebfe504d8b0bde8a6 33775581 main/binary-amd64/Packages

... a digest like that.

So it would appear to me that your machine is downloading the .xz file
from http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/binary-amd64/
but treating it as a .gz file which will make it fail.

I don't know where this decision is made. (I also don't know where the
decision is made by wget as to which Packages file to download, the
.gz or the .xz one.)

My wheezy apt-cacher-ng had a similar problem with serving the jessie
tree. Because a file arrived in .xz format and failed to decompress,
it could never get as far as pruning the jessie pool cache which grew
and grew. It was fixed by installing the wheezy-backport version.

Cheers,
David.

Re: trouble with install -- 64 bit, disk partitioner

2015-05-14 Thread David R. Haynor
Hi gang,

Thanks for your help.  In the end, i believe the problem was the RAID5 
configuration that had been set up for windows.  I used killdisk to scrub the 
hard drives, then was able to use gparted (which had hung previously) and then 
install debian.  I'll reuse the disks with LVM and go to backups instead of 
RAID.

If that doesn't work, I think it might be worthwhile to get a copy of GParted 
(which you can also find on a Parted Magic disk). Download either one, run 
GParted and make a partition on your hard drive. Make it bootable.

Then try installing the Debian OS. (Both of the disks I mentioned are free 
downloads.)

Re: Re: Upgrade to Jessie freezes when Grub configuration file is being generated

2015-05-14 Thread Pierre Chausse

Thanks for the reply,

I did a Jessie dist-upgrade but I have been on testing for sometimes so 
it was not such a huge upgrade.


On reboot (after trying to finish the installation of grub) I get

and then it reboots.

For me upgrade problem, it comes from the update-grub, if I run it I can

I will try to purge and reinstall grub. I have seen it as a solution for

skype pauses vlc

2015-05-14 Thread Paul Seyfert
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

since i upgraded from wheezie to jessie I observe that skype is able to
pause vlc as follows:

vlc plays music
skype is online
someone writes me a message
vlc pauses and skype makes its "blub"-sound to notify me about the message
vlc stays paused

The same happens for any other audible notification by skype.
While this seems actually quite convenient for incoming calls, this is
particularly annyoing when texting with someone [1].

vlc also gets paused when hitting the "play test sound" button in the
skype configuration.

Any hints how to prevent skype from sending pause signals?

Thanks,
Paul


[1] yes, i /could/ disable sound notifications of skype. i already
disabled those for 'someone in your buddy list came online'. Yet, i
would favour if skype continued making "blub" upon incoming messages and
vlc would just continue playing.

  It's the 1st thing I checked when I found this difference of behaviuor.

You need to replace "--" with "---"; see this comment in the release
notes:

  Due to a change on the linux kernel side, the "---" separator is now
  used instead of the historical "--" one to separate kernel
  parameters from userland parameters

It must have been very near the bottom.  Last perhaps?  I read through the 
list until I got to the one I wanted, which was very near the bottom.  But I 
probably didn't read the one or two below it.  Still, if it is there, it 
would be good if it were the default.  I always avoid the actual default 
because it is so slow!  But the only way to learn that is the hard way.

Good point.  If the redirector is not permanently available, what is the point 
of it?  One is surely better off with a fast, near, high availability mirror?  
I suppose the answer is that newer mirrors might be even faster.

But it might be worth having the redirector as default.  (And I did look at

The quote and the link were given to indicate that httpredir is now part
of configuring the package manager in the Jessie installer, not to
suggest altering sources.list after the install.

When a mirror country is chosen it includes httpredir.debian.org in the
list of mirrors. Easily missed if one is not looking for it or its
significance is not appreciated.

It's a tempting idea but there is always the possibility the redirector
is not reachable in spite of high availabilty being designed into it.
It wouldn't go down well if other mirrors were not offered to complete
installation.

That sounds even more bother than changing it now!  I'm quite happy with what 
I have got - but if Debian wants me to use something else, it should make it 
easier than the present options, not harder.

Still, I hadn't noticed this - years of going straight to Europe/UK.  I'll 
look out for it next time.

So perhaps I wouldn't have noticed the addition of redir even if it had been 
there.
