You can use the single user mode (add single to the boot line in grub or whatever you're using for the macbook) and check out what is going on in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Alternatively, you can try logging into the machine remotely and viewing the same file. That will give you more details about what precisely X is doing when it fails.

He says that he can't get Wheezy going either, but so far he has never actually done exactly what has been suggested. I.e., he sets himself up to fail. But he likes Ubuntu. So the obvious solution is to use Ubuntu and stop flogging this poor already dead horse. And since he likes Gnome 2 but not Unity, Ubuntu with Mate (or Cinnamon).

Re: libvirt, dnsmasq, and resolvconf
Laine Stump provided this useful info on the libvirt-users list: This commit (which was included in libvirt 1.2.12) may help you to a solution: commit 298fa4858ced29e2c42681635a5a8dcd6da0b231 Author: Josh Stone Date: Wed Dec 3 16:01:33 2014 -0800 network: Let domains be restricted to local DNS This adds a new "localOnly" attribute on the domain element of the network xml. With this set to "yes", DNS requests under that domain will only be resolved by libvirt's dnsmasq, never forwarded upstream. This was how it worked before commit f69a6b987d616, and I found that functionality useful. For example, I have my host's NetworkManager dnsmasq configured to forward that domain to libvirt's dnsmasq, so I can easily resolve guest names from outside. But if libvirt's dnsmasq doesn't know a name and forwards it to the host, I'd get an endless forwarding loop. Now I can set localOnly="yes" to prevent the loop. So it sounds like the proper thing to do is to set the localOnly attribute and put the libvirt network in a subdomain, then point the dnsmasq on the host to the libvirt dns for that subdomain. [Comment by Ross: It seems this addresses my concern about a loop between different copies of dnsmasq, at least if used with judicious domain assignment. Unfortunately, libvirt >= 1.2.12 is only available in stretch/testing, which is currently at 1.2.16.] Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Debian might add patches and use different configuration options. Even so, it's not really a guarantee for an identical binary, and I'm guessing that compiling and stripping debug info, (to later load it with gdb) might also interfere. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The controller is able to drive the USB port as either a host or a client. This chip and the driver are a constant "work in progress" and depending on the kernel version and the firmware your luck with the USB port on the Pi might be better or worse. For example: http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.de/2014/04/usb-issues-with-raspberry-pi.html So maybe by updating the bootloader and GPU firmware to the latest from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware one might be able to improve the situation.

Hm. I plugged an Ethernet cable into it, read and wrote a big file via NFS. Got consistent 50mbps. According to iperf, I could go as high as 82.2 mbps. Not the fair gigabit I have on this LAN, but close to theoretical 100mbit limit of the NIC. During the NFS test, two kernel threads were the worst CPU consumers, kworker/0 and ksoftirqd/0. During the iperf test, the worst CPU consumers were iperf itself and ksoftirqd/0. According to the /proc/interrupts, the top interrupt consumer was IRQ32, which is: dwc_otg, dwc_otg_pcd, dwc_otg_hcd:usb1 On the other hand, a simple cat /dev/zero > file test provided me with 100% iowait, but no actual CPU usage. Perf mysteriously failed on me. It did record something, but 'perf report' refused me to show anything. Must be something with this custom Raspbian kernel. So, I agree that using Pi's Ethernet interface eats CPU, but saying 'USB eats CPU' is oversimplifying thing quite a bit. Specifically, if NFS is involved. What I suspect was happening with your NFS server is the multiple knfsd threads in D-state (i.e. blocked by iowait by slof MMC card) *plus* this USB Ethernet interrupts. I'd start with lowering knfsd count. > If the source or destination of the transmitted data is on an USB medium > it gets even worse because all USB ports share the same root port on the > SoC.

More than 3MByte/s is not really achievable with a Pi-1, because the CPU is very weak and the Ethernet-Chip is attached via USB.

Maybe the USB hardware implementation is better in the N900? The one in the Pi is quite bad and finicky. In addition to that, data transfer via USB is quite CPU-intensive, as Petter wrote and overwhelms the single CPU core of the Pi if it needs to drive the SD card at the same time. If the source or destination of the transmitted data is on an USB medium it gets even worse because all USB ports share the same root port on the SoC. Besides: I always found the load on Linux NFS servers to be higher than on a Samba-Server with equal throughput. I guess the calculation of the load is different for the NFS kernel server process than for userland fileservices. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault.

Nonsense. It is impossible to produce an OS that everybody likes. Most people like Windows after all. Use something you like. Don't complain about something that many of us love and expect it to be changed just to suit you. There is enough choice out there, after all. Have you tried Ubuntu with Mate?

Ah, I get it now. So, layman's terms put aside, you like to use GNOME2 and not GNOME3. And that Ubuntu's Unity is just not your cup of tea. Well, they don't argue about tastes, as they say.

Every other sources.list reference to non-free I've ever seen has included the hyphen, and a quick test with dropping the hyphen on my own system results in errors on 'apt-get update'.

If you were to > use the on-board Ethernet, you would not see such a high load. What? Are you serious? I have this Nokia N900 lying behind me which is connected by IP-via-USB (aka usbnet aka g_ether) and with the order of magnitude slower ARM CPU it reliably shows 40mbps with no noticeable load. There are countless things I'd blame in this situation (large amounts of sync I/O from knfsd, relatively small amount of memory for a NFS server, HUEG read/write latency of MMC card), but blaming the type of Ethernet connection is the last thing I'd do. Regardless, there's a way to see the cause of all this trouble.

The problem that android have encountered is how to expose a file system in an independent manner. Prior to android version 4.0, external storage was FAT32 formatted and the connection was USB Mass Storage. This worked well, as it was a lowest-common-denominator system. However, as Android started to develop more security protocols, it was seen that a more capable file system was needed. FAT is a very simple filesystem and, while it's far enough for removable media, it's not really suited as part of an operating system. So, what was the alternative? FAT is, really, the only file system that is fully, natively supported by all three major desktop operating systems (Linux, MacOS and Windows). Anything else locks out part of the market. Add to that the problem that, if you're switching to a fuller-featured filesystem for security purposes, exposing that whole file system to another operating system causes no end of problems. So, in the end, android picked Microsoft's MTP protocol as a successor. Think of this as being like an FTP server built into the device. It doesn't matter what filesystem the device ACTUALLY uses, any operating system taking to the device must speak a well-defined protocol that exposes only certain aspects of the file system. There is no concept of ownership or permissions in MTP, you can't run defragmenters or filesystem checkers on MTP. All you can really do is list files, fetch them and put them. > >If you are too busy no worries as AirDroid is solving the problem.

Re: Fwd: Transferring files from Debian computer to android phone
Thats right I am a newbie despite having used Linux for about 10 years. I seem to have found the apt-get system very tricky to get my head round. It does seem weird to me that transferring files between two computers is not be a basic function that does not require additional software to be downloaded. If you are too busy no worries as AirDroid is solving the problem. On their wesite they say: 'BY VISITING THE WEBSITES OR USING THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND A PARTY TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER TERMS'. Taken literally that is so absurd as to make me not want to depend on their software.. why should I read their terms before even visiting their website?

Pooched on upgrading to new stable
I decided to upgrade to the latest 'stable'. On reboot, I see gdm3 launch in the boot sequence which presumably starts X11. I then get a black screen. It is as if X11 loads -- but get stuck. It doesn't crash. I can't jump to a terminal. I have tried the key combos to kill X11 (ctrl-alt-bkspace) that didn't do anything. Interesting is that the mouse lights up when I move it. I don't see a cursor of any kind. I can adjust the backlighting of the keyboard... so, I know the keyboard works. I tried booting with a i386 netinst disk (version 7.6.0)... I got to safe mode and I try to launch a shell -- but that fails?!?! Preceding said, I'm not sure what to do I did get a prompt in rescue. I presume I have to disable gdm3 & X11 somehow... so I can get to a prompt when I boot the machine from the hard drive. I've had problems with X11 over the years with different computers on Debian... but never anything quite like this. Usually when X11 fails... you get booted back to the command line and have a shot at fixing it. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Michael System - MacBookPro 2011 ?

NFS on Raspberry Pi high load
Hello, perhaps thats a bit OT but I can't found a Rasbian or RaspberryPi related mailinglist. Per default nfs starts with 8 servers root@raspberrypi:~# head -n 2 /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server # Number of servers to start up RPCNFSDCOUNT=8 So I try to transfer a 3GB file from the raspberry to my laptop via WLAN(n). This operation kills my raspberry. I get a load of 12 and more. 10 Minutes after I interrupt this operation the load was still at 10. So I deside to reduce the number of servers to 2. Now it's a bit better, the load is only around 5. iotop show me a read speed around 3 MB/s, there is a Class 10 UHS card (10-15 MB/s read, 9-5 MB/s write I guess). Test on "Pi 1 model B" with 512MB RAM. Can somebody reproduce this behavior? Thanks a lot.

If you install the package "bootlogd" you will get a file called /var/log/boot.log after your next boot with all boot messages.

I'm hoping it to be like the Time > Machine for linux; is that what it does? backintime will back up exactly what you tell it to, using hardlinks instead of copies of files that haven't changed, so you don't store full copies of every single file when it isn't necessary. The first time you run it it will make copies of everything, on later runs it will make copies of files that have changed, and use hardlinks for the ones that haven't to save space. By default it will exclude stuff like /proc, /sys, /run, cache directories and so on, but you can of course edit that if you want to add or remove something. Time Machine is something I haven't used, so I can't compare them. backintime will give you a directory tree where you have one directory for each run of the backup, named by the date and time the backup was run, and under that you get a full tree of the things you have backed up. Makes it easy to get a certain version of a file like it was on a specific date. The best way to judge would be to take a look at it, and get comfortable with the way it works. Make a few backups, and test the restore functionality to make sure it works if you suddenly need it. If you decide you like it, set up a schedule.

I run it on a Raspberry Pi as a media center, it isn't really that big a drain on resources. If you only want to play music, I would guess several of the "big" players would support that, I only use Kodi. > Could you please explain more what you do now, exporting via NFS? I have all my media on a big disk on my file server, and I export that via NFS to the Pi. Kodi on the Pi indexes all the media and builds a library. Simple, and at least in my experience it seems faster than DLNA/UPNP. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." pgpbJxVDRe4Bf.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

According to ssh(1) manpage (see http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1 or your local man 1 ssh), ssh -D supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5. I have been using that trick since Debian Squeeze. Locally run, for instance: ssh -N -D8880 u...@remote.host.example.com Set the proxy in firefox to "socks=127.0.0.1:8880", enable network.proxy.socks_remote_dns and surf while watching with wireshark or tcpdump the DNS requests sent on the network interface. I had no DNS requests going to the local DNS server. I was completely stealthy except for the amount of data exchanged with only one server :-). I have been using http://www.proxy-offline-browser.com/ProxySwitch/ to easily switch between a direct connection and a ssh tunnel in iceweasel. The ssh server must allow TCP forwarding (AllowTcpForwarding in sshd_config, globally or on a per user basis) but, due to -N, you don't even need a login shell on the remote server and your tunnel won't register in /var/log/auth.log on the server. BTW, if AllowTCPForwarding is enabled on a server where mysql is installed without a root password because it is only listening on 127.0.0.1, then anyone with a valid account (for sftp for instance) can open a ssh tunnel to access mysql running on the server: ssh -L12000:localhost:3360 u...@remote.server.example.com Then it is easy to open a mysql client to local port 12000 as root and connect to the remote mysql server. Keep that in check when enabling TCP forwarding on a ssh server! Frederic

Thanks also for this. I knew about XMBC and also about its rename. But I'm only interested in a client. I know as far as servers go, this is perhaps the best. And I like a lot of the new things they've done to it. But this is a laptop from which I want to listen to music on NAS while I work. XMBC is too much for this purpose.

I'm pretty sure Kodi (used to be called XBMC) can play from DLNA sources, although I simply export via NFS now. It's a great client with a ton of functionality, and it can also act as a DLNA server.
