Hi,

I'm aware of audacity, which is of course a very fine piece of
software.  But its function is more to edit than just to view.  So,
e.g., if you open a sound file, then it wants to create a project, and
when you want to exit you have to tell it not to save the project that
it created.

I would like to just have something that shows the waveform.

Ideally it would do other tasks connected with viewing, such as being
able to zoom to the sample level, give actual data readouts [sample
value, time, etc], and play nice with other software.  So it would be
nice, e.g., if you could pop it open at the command line and maybe
even have it scroll to some interesting point.  (It would also be nice
if it could play the wave form, but if it can't that's no deal

My vague recollection is that there used to be more than a dozen such
viewers, but i can't seem to track any down now.

TIA for any leads!


Yeow, THAT was a trip down memory lane. Most mod-trackers are now dead 
projects. I had hoped to steer you to something where viewing/editing of 
wav form files was nicely built-in with a decent (not dos) interface. I 
think I will go and enjoy a nice bit of despair now. Soon enough I will 
be fastening my suspenders to my computer chair, so I don't fall 
face-first into my keyboard. I feel OLD! :( Ric

Back in the day, all of the old mod-file "tracker" software included all 
of those bells and whistles, since everything was waveform based to 
start with. "Goattracker" is in the repos. "Milky Tracker has more 
features including direct handling of wav files and a wide variety of 
playback formats. This is probably the one to try. Ric

[Samba] can't authenticate from Windows 7/Pro machines [RESOLVED]

2015-06-28 Thread Gary Dale

Forgot to install ntp. The clocks were out of sync so things failed.

-

I'm running Debian/Jessie in a fresh install after some severe system 
problems. The install went smoothly except for an issue with grub-pc 
acting up. Installing the version from sid cured that. I was still 
having a hardware issue so I swapped out the motherboard and put in a 
more modern one that took the same processor & memory.


This resulted in another problem - the onboard nic couldn't be setup 
with DHCP. Since this was a server, I set the interface to a static IP 
and things worked after that.


Working my may through the clearly written samba wiki, I installed and 
provisioned Samba 4. This required installing the krb5-key and 
krb5-admin-? packages to get things to work. I'm using the internal 
(samba) dns.


I got all the tests for kerberos and samba to work and added multiple 
users using samba-tool, including adding an account for myself as a 
Domain Admin in addition to the Administrator account.


However I can't log in to a workstation using a domain user account, 
although they all show up in the Domain Users group. I logged in with a 
local account and removed the machine from the (old) domain (with the 
same name as the current) but can't join the (new) domain. I get a user 
name or password error each time I try.


I also note that I can't connect to a network share. I get a similar error.

I can ping the DC by name and also the realm by name and the domain is 
treated as valid when I enter it while trying to join the domain.


I've disabled the Windows firewall but that hasn't made any difference.

I need to get this working by the morning. Can't find any help on Google 
for this. Any ideas?

Well, 14:cc:20:11:82:ec yields "14:CC:20 TP-LINK TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD"
on a couple of websites, which is not incompatible with that reasoning.

Hard in what way? I see drivers at
http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WN725N_V2.html#Driver
(for version 2), but I've no idea if either works.

And make sure you're using up-to-date microcode.  COD is not the kind of thing 
that is safe to just enable bindly and hope for the best.

Unlikely what you were recalling but I would recommend investigating
scilab, scioslab, and gnuplot

They are EXPLICITLY tools rather than SOLUTIONS.

If (A) the issue occurs predictably and (B) you have spare RAM sticks
around that are compatible it might be easier to swap it out and see if
it resolves the issue. 

If A or B is false, then you're best off using the memtest.

In its Network Mangler days, I got in the habit of uninstalling NM 
immediately, and installing wicd if I needed wireless.  Otherwise I just used 
e/n/i.  This was more than enough for my needs.  But NM has obviously grown 
up, and your needs are less simple than mine.  But I still like wicd.  It is 
very intuitive and straight-forward.

well i can tell you that a kernel oops is a bad thing.  some code the kernel 
was executing didn't do what it was supposed to.

even, worse news, it looks like it was generated talking to sda, i.e., a disk 
drive (but i might be wrong, it's not clear to me).

I don't think this is something you can ignore.  I would download some sort of 
stress test program and let it run for a few hours.  For memory there is a 
memtest86.  I'm not sure it includes a disk access tester or not, it's been a 
while since i used it.

in fact, it's probably worth it to run memtest anyway, just to make sure that 
this isn't a memory problem which is the most common cause of oopses.


Good luck.


Brian

It's a bug in udev, which is now part of systemd.

Michael Biebl knows this very well, because he's one of the maintainers
of udev and systemd, and is in a far better position than you are to
point out the intricacies of this bug.

Contentless maligning of systemd and/or other parts of Debian are not on
topic on Debian mailing lists, and certainly not on topic on -user.
Please stop.

On the other hand, if there are bugs, file them with details, so they
can be fixed, like this very bug was.

Well, depends on what you want to achieve. If you have lots of
different NFS clients that all have system users with the same name but
each client shouldn't be able to access the data of other clients, then
having static mappings for individualized principal names (and on the
clients a different static mapping) could make sense.

Example:

host1:   static mapping   user mail   <-> principal mail/host1
host2:   static mapping   user mail   <-> principal mail/host2
server:  static mapping   user mail1  <-> principal mail/host1
  user mail2  <-> principal mail/host2

+ permissions set in such a manner that that the users mail1 and mail2
can only read their own directories.

I just didn't suggest it in your case since you also have
no_root_squash in there, which really defeats the purpose of an
exercise like this. ;-)

But if you do squash root, AND you have multiple servers that should
only see their own stuff, it could make sense. (Haven't used it myself,
though.)

In the end, it really depends on the use case (and your paranoia
level ;-)). But usually I prefer the simpler solution.

Try it also with the on-board one:  first with the switch in one position, 
then, if it hasn't worked, start again with the switch in the other.  Unless 
it is much better labled than those switches usually are, it won't be 
entirely obvious which way is "on".   You will then know, at least almost for 
sure, whether it works.

Indeed, this was the problem. All instances of k5start used the default
ticket cache which seems to be /tmp/krb5cc_0 (0 for UID '0'). A quick
test reveiled that kerberos defaults to '/tmp/krb5cc_' for the
ticket cache. I now changed my k5start init script to set the ticket
cache accordingly, and afterwards that works:

clt# ps -ef | grep k5start | grep mail
root  10149  1  0 20:56 ?   00:00:00 /usr/bin/k5start -u mail \
-o mail -p /var/run/k5start-mail.pid -k /tmp/krb5cc_8 \
-b -f /etc/krb5.keytab -L -K 30
clt# su -s /bin/sh -c "echo $KRB5CCNAME" mail

clt# su -s /bin/sh -c "klist" mail
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_8
Default principal: mail@REALM

Yes, I fiddled around with static mapping. But now that I read your
explanation, using usernames without hostname as principal name sounds
way more obvious. As you can see above, I changed this now.

I don't use LDAP at all.

That's exactly, what I did before. I removed the static mapping (except
for user root) now that I migrated to your simpler approach.

Now - after a reboot that cleared all krb5 tickets and caches - write
access to the NFS shares works as normal user when the user has been
authenticated to the Kerberos server (via k5start) first.

Thank you very much, that was a big step forward for my new setup!

 jonas

then examination of the session will reveal how it worked.

a simpler printing question

2015-06-28 Thread briand
maybe.

after my struggling with cups i decided to go old school.

it took me 10 minutes with LPRNG to be able to print a postscript file, 
something i have not yet been able to do with cups (which i might point out is 
using the exact same drivers).

so now the question is: how do i make my applications aware of the lprng 
printer ?

applications would be : mozilla, claws-mail, libre office, etc...


Thanks,

Brian

Maybe it was the usb-bluetooth adaptor?  I don't know, and it's clear I'm no
expert at all.

The WiFi hardware on my machine should be Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, but it is
probably dead, because installing firmware-ipw2x00 had no effect.  But I have
some other WiFi hardware, that I bought yesterday and that's detected - so it
seems - on wlan0 after installing firmware-realtek: it is a wireless-USB
adaptor, the TL-WN725N.  I've been googling to search a proper driver for it,
but the matter looks to be hard issue.  I also found:

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2013/10/msg0

.  Any hint/help appreciated.

Thanks,

Rodolfo

NFSv4 first read/write takes 1 minute to start

2015-06-28 Thread Mart van de Wege
Hi,

I run a fileserver and am trying to switch over from NFSv3 to NFSv4 with
RPC-GSS. My exports work, and my clients nicely authenticate to the
Kerberos server and the NFS server, I can mount the exported filesystems
and cd into them.

But as soon as I try to read or write anything on the mounted
filesystem, I get a timeout of 1 minute. After that, all other reads and
writes on the mounted filesystem proceed normally.

I used to get a 'Unable to create client record on stable storage: -110'
error in dmesg, but that went away after I created the missing
'/var/lib/nfs/v4recovery' directory. Otherwise I am not getting any NFS
related errors in the logs, just a horrid timeout on the first
filesystem operation.

I tested it with sec=sys, and that shows no difference. Mounting goes
fine, cd goes fine, first operation hangs.

Anyone have any clue what is going on here?

Also, I just noticed that your principal name was mail/nfs-client.
Did you set up idmapping on the server correctly for that to work?

Because if you use nsswitch idmapping (i.e. using the same as libc
to resolve uids/gids, also the default), that will never work;
nsswitch idmapping will always just accept username@REALM as the
principal.

So you should either tell it to fetch the principal 'mail' or, if
you insist on keeping mail/nfs-client, then you should do:

 - if you are using umich_ldap, you can additionally have the
   GSSAuthName LDAP attribute and set that to mail/nfs-client
   for the 'mail' user

 - or, you can also add a static mapping for just the mail user,
   mail/nfs-client, by editing the idmapd.conf on the server,
   where you should then set

   [Translation]
   GSS-Methods=static,VALUE_WHAT_IT_WAS_BEFORE
   [Static]
   mail/nfs-client@REALM = mail

   (If no GSS-Methods were specified, copy the contents of
   the Methods= settings to VALUE_WHAT_IT_WAS_BEFORE.)

Note than however way you slice it, the mapping between Kerberos
principal and user id has to be unique (and if different methods
have different principals, the first one wins!), so that you can
always only map a user to a single principal.

(I therefore favor just using username@REALM because it makes
life hell of a lot easier in the long run. But it's up to you.)

the real problem is that there are no more directions.

there used to be instructions (awful, terrible instructions) but they are no

i'm going to give it another try.

so here is the summary :

iceweasel: sees printer, can print

the evince problem is related to printing an pdf/ps, i'm thinking that is

however the libreoffice problem seems like a bug.  it can't see the printer at

Looks like another systemd issue, don't know why you are afraid to say

lsmod will list the kernel modules loaded. But I'm not sure if that is
what you're lookin for?

You can also use lspci with the -v flag to see hardware and kernel
driver. 

Also, lsusb for USB devices.

For graphics there are at least three different drivers, a kernel
module, a driver for X11 and driver for OpenGL.

Finding the X11 driver is probably easiest by looking through the Xorg
log, for the OpenGL driver you can use glxinfo.

What ticket cache is k5start using? Does the user k5mail have
access to it and does it know about it after su?

What do the following commands say?

su -s /bin/sh -c "echo $KRB5CCNAME" mail
su -s /bin/sh -c "klist" mail

It appears to me that you are running k5start as root and it uses
the root user's default ticket cache - which as a) not known and
b) not accessible to the mail user.

You will probably want to specify the -k /path/to/cache and -o mail
options to k5start - and you probably want to explicitly set
KRB5CCNAME=FILE:/path/to/cache before running anything as the user
mail.

write permissions on Kerberos secured NFS share

2015-06-28 Thread Jonas Meurer
Hi,

I'm struggling with getting the permissions on an NFS share right.
Mounting the NFS share on my client works. Read/write access as user
'root' works, and read access as user 'mail' works as well after I
successfully authenticated at the Kerberos server as that user 'mail'.
Kerberos server and NFS server are the same machines.

Only write-access to the NFS share as user 'mail' doesn't work. The
share directory is owned by 'mail:mail' both on the server and on the
client. UID and GID are the same (8) for 'mail' on server an client.

What am I missing here?

svr# cat /etc/exports
/export XXX.XX.XX.XXX(sec=krb5i,rw,sync, \
no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,fsid=0)

test
root@clt# su -s /bin/sh -c "touch /var/vmail/test" mail
touch: cannot touch ‘/var/vmail/test’: Permission denied

The Kerberos ticket for local user 'mail' is managed by k5start:

clt# ps -ef |grep k5start | grep mail
root   8965  1  0 16:04 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/k5start -u \
mail/nfs-client -o mail -p /var/run/k5start-mail.pid -b \
-f /etc/krb5.keytab -L -K 30

I don't understand why I don't have write access to the share as client
user 'mail' (authenticated to Kerberos server as 'mail/nfs-client'.

Run

lspci -k | grep SEARCHTERM -A 2

where SEARCHTERM is something sufficiently related to the hardware
you're interested in. For my graphics card, an appropriate search term
would be 'VGA'.

Other than that, the only approach I know of involves manually
researching the output of lsmod, which isn't terribly helpful.

I think you're only asking about the Samsung and the Crucial, but since

128GB Kinsgston SV200 S3 for ~2.5 years.  Performance is satisfactory:
hdparm -t /dev/sda gives me ~215 MB/s.  (The laptop only has SATA-II.)
My major complaint is that it gets pretty warm, and it is right under 
the palmrest, so using the laptop keyboard can get a little uncomfortable.
(Not a killer for me, since I usually use a usb keyboard.)

Do you get the right behaviour if you use "systemctl suspend" (or
hibernate) instead? If so, maybe acpi-support should be changed to use
that first for systemd setups.

You're right about systemd/logind having absorbed all this functionality:

I have the acpi-support package installed (probably leftover from when

Re: nosh version 1.17

2015-06-28 Thread Jonathan de Boyne Pollard

nosh is now up to version 1.17

* http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwares/nosh.html

As I said to gdiazhartusch a while back, and as listed on the roadmap 
page, there is now a tool for auto-creating the mount@*, fsck@*, 
ttylogin@*, dump@*, and swap@* service bundles from /etc/ttys and 
/etc/fstab, and propagating settings from /etc/rc.conf{,.local} to 
service bundle env/ directories.  This is documented in the Nosh Guide, 
in the section on external formats. It involves the use of redo, as I 
just mentioned in the release annoucement for redo 1.2, because it's a 
suite of redo scripts that endeavour to re-import the settings only when 
the source files change.  An important design choice, called out in the 
introduction to the Nosh Guide, is that this is not a system of 
continually-regenerated ephemera.


The Nosh Guide introduction has been completely rewritten, by the way.

The external formats import relies upon rcctl, which now has the full 
implementation of "set" and "get" that was promised in the roadmap.  
Note the caveat in the manual about not using "set" on a "status" 
variable.  That's an OpenBSD idiosyncrasy that wouldn't be correct for 
FreeBSD even with the original tool.  Use "enable" and "disable".  
They'll work.


Part of importing /etc/fstab is generating appropriate dump@* and swap@* 
service bundles.  You'll note that swapauto and swaplate are no longer 
services but targets.  As services, they relied upon options to "swapon" 
and were one giant lump.  As targets, they pull in all of the generated 
swap@* services which are individually enabled.  Also note that whilst 
the pre-built mount@-, fsck@-, mount@-usr, fsck@-usr, mount@-var, and 
fsck@-var service bundles are still supplied, the auto-creation system 
(or something similar) is meant to supersede them with bundles that 
match your /etc/fstab after system installation.


Those aren't the only service bundle changes.  There's the steady 
chipping away at that list of 157 rc.d scripts, which has just lost off 
its list a few pf services and savecore amongst other things. You might 
be wondering why mountcritlocal and mountcritremote are still there.  
The new auto-creation system makes mount@* and fsck@* bundles, and links 
them into targets, after all.  The answer is that those FreeBSD rc.d 
scripts (like several others) have had some feature creep, and mounting 
is not all that they in fact do. There's some temporary files cleanup in 
there, for example.


Which leaves just the last major change, which is the /etc/ 
subdirectories.  /etc/system-manager/targets and /etc/sv have been 
brought together as /etc/service-bundles/targets and 
/etc/service-bundles/services.  And /etc/system-manager/presets is now 
the better named /etc/system-control/presets as this is a function of 
the latter tool not of the former.  The post-upgrade scripts in the 
binary packages will move the directories and create appropriate 
symbolic links in the right places.  If you are building from source and 
hand-installing ... well look at what the post-upgrade scripts do, since 
they are right there in the source package, and do that.  (-:

This is usually caused by something enabling USB autosuspend for HID devices
like keyboards and mice.

Google for "autosuspend USB disable", and you will find a lot of info that
could help resolve the issue.  Sorry, I cannot detail the procedure right
now.

Sometimes, the culprit is the firmware, and you just have to ensure to
disable autosuspend *again* after resume during boot.  If the culprit is
udev, you need to edit the udev rules.

COD requires non-trivial support from the processor itself (i.e. beware of
errata and outdated microcode), the system firmware (i.e. beware of outdated
EFI or just plain buggy EFI), and operating system kernel.

At this point, we don't even have enough data to know *why* it is crashing.
Does it even work on latest Fedora or latest Windows server (with all
relevant vendor drivers installed), so that we can rule out firmware issues?

> At the very least it would be useful to document this in the known

Not really, since it nicely crashes during boot, thus avoiding data
corruption, data loss, and other such issues.

What is extremely annoying are BIOS/EFI configurations that create subtle
issues instead of outright crashes.

And make sure you're using up-to-date microcode.  COD is not the kind of
thing that is safe to just enable bindly and hope for the best.

redo version 1.2

2015-06-28 Thread Jonathan de Boyne Pollard

redo is now at version 1.2

* http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwares/redo.html

Two changes.  First, as you can see, there's now a pre-built FreeBSD 
binary package.


The second change is something that has been annoying me for some 
while.  Sometimes, especially when one is building packages, one ends up 
with redo invoked by make. GNU make puts only flags in the MAKEFLAGS 
environment variable.  BSD make, however, puts at least one macro 
definition in there too.  redo was complaining about that, because it 
was only expecting flags.  Now it knows to ignore macro definitions.  (-:


You'll need redo for one of the new (optional, of course) mechanisms in 
nosh version 1.17.

Now that it actually works, I've found Network Manager to be useful on
my laptop and netbook. As Sam says, it does OpenVPN (reasonably well
now...) as well as wi-fi and also mobile dongles, which reduces the
clutter. I've used all three capabilities in the last week with my

can do without having to re-learn it all then. NM is fairly simple and
intuitive. I have nothing against man pages, but as with my doctor, I
like to see them as rarely as possible.

If you're feeling desperate, and I do know the feeling, you might
invest some download time in a recent Knoppix. It's not guaranteed to
drive everything, but I've usually found it to work. It's based on
Debian, so if it does operate your wi-fi, you can almost certainly get
the necessary driver(s) or other software for your own installation
through normal Debian channels. Information in the Knoppix /etc will
also generally be useful. Here's a mirror list (probably the CD
contains enough, the DVD contains more major applications):

http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html

It can be burnt to USB stick if you don't have an optical drive
available to the laptop.

All the information you have provided (dmesg and lsusb are other
sources) indicates that the kernel has not detected a PCI wireless
device. The OS is not the problem. The BIOS or the hardware might
be.

BTW, 70-persistent-net.rules does not show what hardware is on the
system. However, it does show that at some time in the past wlan0
used a USB wireless device.

Then, after installing firmware-ipw2x00, I did:

 # modprobe ipw2200

, but still nothing seemed to be changed in all the outputs of the various
commands given before.  But yesterday I'd bought a small wireless USB adaptor,
called TP-Link.  I plugged it in the pc, and... a wlan0 entry finally came out
from ifconfig output!  Then, as suggested in
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse, I did:

# ip a
# iwconfig
# ip link set wlan0 up
# iwlist scan

, then put in /etc/network/interface the follwing stuff:

# my wifi device
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid InfostradaWiFi-A8C345
wireless-mode Master

, but there must be something wrong with it, because there are now issues at
machine boot and, anyway, it still won't connect in WiFi mode.  But maybe the
solution is coming.  What should I do now?

Hi Rodolfo,

sorry i think i missed a reply, is the wirelss card inside or external 
via usb?


Anyway if it is an intel card you have to install and modrobe iwlwifi 
https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi


after modprobe iwlwifi the interface should be their.

best regards
Nick

I read the pc's technical paper and its wireless device should be Intel

should be in `firmware-ipw2x00' Debian package which I installed via aptitude.
I also installed firmware-realtek as suggested by Sven.  I also turned on, as

Quite - but because one individual couldn't be bothered to reply to list only, 
as required by list etiquette, and replied to the wrong person, I am getting 
private emails about this.  It isn't my problem.   I, like you, was just 
trying to help.

But it certainly isn't your fault.  I am just trying to reduce the number I 
get privately.

And I still think that the wireless might actually just be turned off.  I 
quite commonly find that in laptop wireless problems, though it took me a 
while to think of it in this case.

Perhaps the output of "sudo rfkill list" might be interesting too

Is this your wifi? If so it needs the firmware-realtek package (from
non-free).

Another two questions:
Do you know for a fact that you have got a wireless card?  
If so, and it is internal, is it turned on?  There is often a small hardware 
switch on laptops taht can be turned on or off, or a combination of keys, 
usually one or more function keys, that has to be pressed to turn wireless 
on.  If it is turned off, it won't work.

Is your card internal?  Is it external?  Do you know what it is?  Do you know 
for sure that it is working?  If it is external, what lights are showing?

I really don't know.  Here's also /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:

ATTR{address}=="14:cc:20:11:82:ec", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1",

Help appreciated.

The problem was that some of us did not understand you.  Some (selective) 
quoting might have helped.  

But FWIW, I thought at the time that the problem was that I did not understand 
you, rather than that you had failed to understand anything.

USB dongle - not common now - for GSM / 3G here. Costs virtually

Mifi - mobile wifi hotspot - 4G / LTE - readily available but with
a cost per month / limitatiions in the amount of Gb you can download
per month.


Plans for 2-4 GB/mo at a price I'm willing to pay are readily 
available. Having been very satisfied with 56k dialup I see no 
problem staying well below limit.




Both available from Asda - your Walmart - for example.


I wasn't considering Walmart. Their ads are annoying and 
non-informative.




Neither much use outside good mobile / cell range. Not usable
in the middle of absolutely nowhere.


At home I see no problem. When traveling it will be on the 
interstates in eastern U.S. so see no problem there either. But 
it is one of the reasons I'm only looking at "no contract" plans. 
If thing aren't satisfactory I can bail and try something else 
being out only out the hardware at most.




Huawei make a lot of the chipsets.

The Mifi doesn't need physical connection


That I consider a disadvantage. But I discovered that at least 
one unit would accept a USB tether that the salesman didn't know 
about.




- something that looks about
the size of a packet of 20 cigarettes or smaller to sit in the middle
of the room / a car and provide Wifi coverage for up to 10 devices.
SIM card inside and you're good to go. Will contain a rechargeable battery.
If you can connect your laptop to a Wifi hotspot, you're good to go, 
irrespective
of OS.


Agreed that should be true. I was thinking that should be fairly 
true of USB also as the was part of the original goal of the USB 
standard [supported by links Sven gave].






Both will provide you with far more bandwidth than you've been used to.

But this is from a European (and specifically English) perspective - which may 
be
very different.

HTH,

AndyC



Where might I find info on what works cleanly with Debian.
I'm in a medium size city in SW Missouri (multiple carriers
available).
Other usage will be along interstates in eastern U.S.



Try http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/


The links from that URL should prove very educational.
I've got a couple days of reading to do ;)


and see if you can find a device in this list
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/device_reference.txt







There's a couple here:
https://wiki.debian.org/Modem

I have a Huawei/ZTE modem which I used a few times in the last week on
sid. Unfortunately, I've been using it on Windows and Linux for least
five years, and it will therefore be unobtainable today.

The trick is to find what chipset a modem uses, which can be difficult,
after that it is relatively easy to find out if there is a driver, if
anyone has problems, etc.

Certainly, the preferred fix is, that packages ship native service files
which override/replace the sysv init scripts.
In case of nfs-common/rpcbind, Ubuntu has done some extensive work to
properly integrate nfs-common/rpcbind with systemd.

This hasn't landed in Debian (yet) and is not something which can be
backported for jessie.

The drop-in snippet for nfs-common to augment the dependency information
when being run under systemd is something which seems to be suitable for
jessie and could be added to the package in sid to give it some testing
first. Ideally, that drop-in is shipped by the package itself. This
would mean a stable upload for nfs-common.

After looking a bit more, it looks to me that this is what was happening
(correct me if I'm wrong). looks like those filter types are now statically
linked into tc. But if the parameters given to  tc could not be understood
using any statically linked algorithms, tc tries to dynamically load other
libraries matching matched by keywords within the command line arguments.
However I still do not understand why my command is not valid.

The problem was due to the presence of the `eth0' entry in
/etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0

.  Once eliminated that, the wired connection could be established.

Thanks,

Rodolfo

tc / iproute2 shared libraries missing - jessie

2015-06-28 Thread Podrigal, Aron
I am trying to do traffic shaping using tc, however I can't add any filters
and am getting this  generic error message

RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
We have an error talking to the kernel


A simple strace shows that the problem is that it can't find the required
filter type libraries in /usr/lib/tc/

Iv'e tried searching for any related packages that would provide it, but no
success. Can anyone point out if there was any changes to file locations?
or if this is a bug?


Thank you.

People upgrading from a *working* Wheezy cups have generally not noticed

the upgrade went very well as has always been my experience with Debian :-)

so things are still strange.

upon re-boot the ipp connection set-up did work BUT ONLY FOR ICEWEASEL.

evince can see the printer but can't print because:

Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for Print-Job 
(ipp://192.168.1.1:631/printers/Brother_DCP-8110DN) from 192.168.1.40

libreoffice writer can't see the printer at all.

So i went back in to cups administration and found my good friend :

dnssd://Brother%20DCP-8110DN._ipp._tcp.local/

which is the working connection i had before.  it decided to show up when it 
wouldn' before, possibly related to libavahi ?

so here's where it gets weird.  i selected the dnssd printer connection.  i 
restarted cups and cups-browsed (do i need cups-browsed ?) and then tried 
evince again, but i still get the same message:

Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for Print-Job 
(ipp://192.168.1.1:631/printers/Brother_DCP-8110DN) from 192.168.1.40

why am i getting ipp in the error log when i've switched to the dnssd 
connection ???

it looks like evince is still getting the old printer advertisement, or 
something...

of course- how these apps are actually retrieving the printer interface is a 
great mystery.  i'm assuming they are built with some sort of cups access 
library ?

Brian

Did you reinstall the Brother drivers as per Brother's directions?
