So I did, but I get the error message:

$ enscript howto.enscript
enscript:/home/rlh/.enscriptrc:4: illegal option: --verbose

I need to look at this in the morning.  Goodnight, all.

Forgive me; it is way past my bedtime, and I did not catch the "...rc".

But when I changed the name of .enscript.cfg to .enscript.rc and tried to
print a simple text file "howto.enscript", I get the error:

CONFIGURATION FILES
   Enscript reads configuration information from the following sources (in 
this  order):  command  line  options,
   environment variable ENSCRIPT, user's personal configuration file 
($HOME/.enscriptrc), site configuration file
   (/etc/enscriptsite.cfg) and system's global configuration file 
(/etc/enscript.cfg).


One solution:

> ENSCRIPT= —verbose —media=letter -2 —landscape —borders ….

The personal configuration resides in ~/.enscriptrc and NOT in ~/.enscript.cfg. 
esncript.cfg is the global config and resides in /etc/enscript.cfg

The job is somewhat too big for a bash alias.
But there is the old concept of a shell script.

Use your favorite text editor to open a file in your
$HOME directory. E.g.:

  vi ~/my_enscript

Write as first line the address of the program that shall
interpret your script. Prepend it by "#!" :

  #!/bin/bash

Then write your command line, replacing the filename by "$1"

  enscript --verbose --media=letter -2 --landscape --borders \
   --header='$n|A.D. $D{%Y.%m.%d}|$* gmt | Page $% of $=' \
   "$1"

(I split the long line by backslashes for better readbility.)

Store the file and leave the editor.
Back in the shell give the file x-permission for its owner:

  chmod o+x ~/my_enscript

To run your script with file "filename", execute in the shell

  ~/my_enscript filename

"$1" in the script will get replaced by the first argument of your
command line. I.e by "filename".


Have a look at your shell variable $PATH. It tells a list of
directories where scripts and programs are looked up if their
name contains no "/".

  echo $PATH

might put out something like

  /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/thomas/bin

So if i would put "my_script" into /home/thomas/bin then it would
be found by bash without the leading "~/":

  my_enscript filename


Have a nice day :)

a command with a long list of options

2015-09-15 Thread rlharris
Now that I have switched from a2ps to enscript, I need to execute the
following command on various files:

enscript --verbose --media=letter -2 --landscape --borders
--header='$n|A.D. $D{%Y.%m.%d}|$* gmt | Page $% of $=' filename

I tried putting these parameters in the enscript configuration file (which
is ~/.enscript.cfg), but they were ignored.  From the enscript man page,
it appears that these options cannot be set in a configuration file.

So, can I define in bash an alias or something so that a command such as
"+enscript filename" can invoke enscript with these options on filename? 
Or can perl provide a solution?

I looked at two or three bash tutorials, but I did not quickly spot a
solution.

If UEFI is implemented in a way that is not too broken, it should be as 
easy as it was with

the old style of BIOS.

With Dell systems you would normally start hitting the 'F12' key when 
you see the Dell Logo.
Maybe sooner if the display is a little slow to light up. Should get you 
the boot menu that has

the option to go to the UEFI setup.

In Windows hold down the Windows key and hit 'R' to bring up the run 
box, then type
'diskmgmt.msc' and hit 'Enter' to bring of the disk management, from 
there you should

be able to shrink the Windows partition.

If you go to the Dell web site, go to support, and type in the service 
tag number that's on your
machine, Dell may have some Linux related support information for your 
model. They may only
provide that for models they actually ship with Linux, but it doesn't

Yes, I know.  HAL has been deprecated in Debian in favor of udev for
about 3 or 4 years.  But other distros like Ubuntu and Mint still use
it.

As far as I can tell Hulu running on Linux NEEDS some hal libraries to
play the videos now.  I don't know which one or ones.  Prior to
mid-July, everything worked fine on my system without any hal stuff.

Unfortunately, there is no real alternative other than running Windows
in a VM to stream Hulu content.

FWIW, I installed PCLinusOS 32-bit which still uses hal (LXDE desktop) 
in a VM, and Hulu works just fine in Firefox. So there's hope yet.
Tried to test Chrome,but the install had problems.  And PCLOS didn't
run well. Slow and jerky. However, if hal doesn't conflict with
anything on my system -- the hal daemon doesn't need to be running,
only the libraries are needed by Hulu -- then I may just install it and
see what happens.

Thanks for your reply.

I found in the Debian archive the package "enscript", which appears to
provide (at least for my needs) the functionality of "a2ps"; and enscript
handles unicode.

Whereas a2ps worked well "right out of the box", It took me several hours
of experimentation with enscript to create a format to my liking,
particularly with respect to the margins; things do not seem (to me) to
work according to the documentation.

But the end result is a satisfactory replacement for a2ps.

For a split second, I was pondering the same about Joe's experience
with libreoffice. Mine's fine, been fine for a little while (SORRY,
JOE!). My libreoffice had issues like maybe twice but no problems
since then. It must surely be something about our personal *_CHOICE_*

interacts amongst themselves in each almost singularly definable
setup.

To follow-up:

The SATA controllers are on an Asus P9X79-E WS. The controllers consist of:

Hi Riley,


Thanks for your answer.

Obviously, I have already used the manual prior to posting here.

The manual is very short about this option. It only references
"/etc/reportbug.conf" config file. And this file references 'reportbug
--bts help' like I said in my first message.

But I don't know yet how to send a bug report to another BTS server
different than servers recognized for 'reportbug --bts help' (guug, debian,
ubuntu).

Something like the following command doesn't work:
$ reportbug --bts="sub...@bugs.x2go.org"
Ignored bogus setting for --bts: sub...@bugs.x2go.org

Is there anything that I am overlooking?

My understanding is that HAL was ejected from Debian a long time ago.

I installed hal from debian in a vm with debian testing amd64.  Chrome beta no
go with some error code.  Won't even start hald.  Iceweasel plays the splash
screen and looks like it wants to play the program but the screen stays blank. 
Hald is running.  I can move the mouse along the timeline and see previews but
no more.  I have found that the 3 main networks will play in chrome beta without
hal in my desktop amd64 testing system.

Running HAL and udev Simultanteouly

Still searching for a fix to stream TV via Hulu.  Worked fine with
Chrome/pepperflash and Iceweasal/flash until about mid-July, around the
release time of Windows 10. Hulu indicates that with Linux, HAL is
needed. My system is custom: 64-bit Wheezy, no desktop, just Openbox WM
and LXPanel, and udev.

Wondering if installing HAL as Hulu suggested would cause problems? I
have doubts that it will work anyway.

Any advice or fixes appreciated.

Get into the system setup: switch off Secure Boot and reboot.

Use Windows tools to shrink the Windows disk to produce free space at the end 
of the disk.

Use a Debian CD / a Debian .iso file on a USB stick: allow the machine to boot 
from the CD / USB.

Install Debian in the normal way on the free space. That means that Debian will 
install grub-efi
and will then recognise that there is Windows on the first partition. 

I have a system here which has this, more or less.

All the very best,

It's a shame they had to go down that road, but it was the companies
that saw it as a "free beer" kernel for their devices rather than as
an open kernel.  i.e. they're expected to contribute something in return.

I did an apt-get dist-upgrade.  It removed gimp, aptitude and kde-full,
among others.  Immediately after that, I could reinstall gimp.  A couple
of days later, I could reinstall aptitude, and some week later I could
reinstall kde-full.
Now all dependency problems have gone and everything looks fine, even
with deb-multimedia in sources.list.  [stretch]

About half are KDE-related. I don't use the DE, but I do use k3b and a
few other KDE applications. Libreoffice is currently in trouble, as it
has been twice in the last month or so. gnupg2 and gnupg-agent have
bugs, as does openssl. openssl has had at least one bug for a couple of
months.

I normally use aptitude for routine upgrades, but it can't manage this
one. It used to be the case that aptitude would spend literally hours
trying to calculate a large upgrade, but it now runs for a while and
asks if I want to keep trying. It still can't find a solution after
three or four tries.

apt-get dist-upgrade comes up with a solution, but wants to remove forty
or fifty packages, including gimp, which I use regularly. It may be
possible to install it again afterwards, apt-get is fairly brutal and
simple-minded, but then again it may not.

The problem is the set of packages and my architecture, which is amd64.
I have two 32-bit installations which I can upgrade without problems, so
presumably openssl is OK on 32-bit. The 32-bit installations are
smaller, one on a netbook and one on a USB hard drive. It is my
workstation which is 64-bit, with over four thousand packages
installed, which probably isn't helping.

Now and then I have a poke around with Synaptic, and I found four or
five packages which could be individually upgraded tonight, with
removed libraries being replaced by new ones. For everything else, when
I select a package for upgrade, there is a sea of red where other
packages have to be removed...

It's not just KDE, and it's been going for a couple of months already.
I currently have 124 packages which are not upgradable, there were
over two hundred a couple of weeks ago.

I have 2 debian sid desktops and the two are updated. No package is hold,
and full upgrade. I have not any KDE package, but have xfce, and GNOME

Which 124 packages are not upgradable?

Tracking https://release.debian.org/transitions/ helps to upgrade when you
have problems with upgrade.

Since gcc transition I had to hold some packages to make apt happy to
upgrade. But I unhold them when its transitions are finish.

Did you try apt upgrade , and then apt full-upgrade?

Maybe posting apt output can help.

I currently have 124 packages which are not upgradable, there were
over two hundred a couple of weeks ago.

It's basically the core of the next stable, held back until the release
of Jessie earlier this year. It is noticeably worse than anything I've
seen before in sid, in ten-twelve years.

2015-09-15 Thread Gary Roach

] Hi

I have a Qosmio G25 lap top that I haven't used for a while. I now need 
it and decided to upgrade to the latest stable release (jessie). I 
updated wheezy to its latest version before upgrading to jessie. I then 
changed the sources.list to stable and proceeded with the upgrade. 
Everything seemed to work fine. But, on reboot the system got to 
"Waiting for /dev/to be fully populated ..." and stalled. After 60 
seconds it started printing out [  70.866964] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 
stuck for 61s! [swapper:0]  messages.


The system is a dual boot but on separate 60GB hard drives. Windows XP 
is on the first drive and Debian Linux on the second. A grub loader is 
used.


I have tried to load the latest Debian netinstall disk. The disk won't 
start. The windows side still works fine. Knoppix loads OK but since I 
only have one disk drive that is no help. I have tried to create a usb 
sd copy but have not been able to create a usable copy. I read somewhere 
that loading the .iso copy to the sd would work. I haven't found this to 
be the case. I tried to transfer a copy from the net install disk to the 
sd but not all of the files will copy across.


I noticed that the netinstall disk has only .exe and .ini files for 
starup.?? (Windoze?)


Im stuck. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Gary R.



squeeze error message

2015-09-15 Thread Glenn English
One of the servers I admin is giving error messages I don't understand. From 
logwatch:

> Errors when running cron:
>grandchild #10246 failed with exit status 1: 1 Time(s)
>grandchild #10255 failed with exit status 1: 1 Time(s)
>grandchild #10335 failed with exit status 1: 1 Time(s)

And 10K more. 

Can anyone tell me what this means? I found the problem and disabled the cron 
job (it was a shell script running every minute, and that explains the 10K), 
but I don't know what cron is trying to tell me.

Second question. If I am installing a single application under Drupal7
(CiviCRM is the package), what directory/subdirectory should I unzip
CiviCRM into to start? CiviCRM makes its own directory structure and
includes a web-based installer if you unzip it to a specific location.

Third question. What is the brower URL for that location? In other
words, after unpack CiviCRM, I need to browse to that web-based
installer. What would that URL start with?


TIA for any assistance you can provide.

$ zless /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/term14.pcf.gz

Between loads of unreadable text, you can recognize precisely this font.

$ dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/term14.pcf.gz
xfonts-75dpi: /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/term14.pcf.gz

So the font belongs to package xfonts-75dpi.

$ dpkg -L xfonts-75dpi

With this command you see all the other fonts belonging to this package,
there are a few hundreds of them.
There is a similar package named xfonts-100dpi.

Try looking for them here:

It seems they were removed from testing to allow the big C++ migration

Perhaps your text field dictionary was born this side of the water? ;-) I

Calm down. Yes, that sucks. WindRiver sucks too.

Here's my take, worth as much as free advice is.

- - GRSecurity is free to distribute its stuff as it likes, and to take
  $200 for it.

- - Since this stuff is a set of patches to the Linux kernel, it is
  derived work and is under the same GPLV2. This is, I think
  uncontroversial. No need to be a "Detractor" or what.

- - This means that
  (a) GRSecurity has to make available their source code *to those
  they distribute the program to*
  (b) the receiving party receives also the license to re-distribute,
  modify, study... the program as it sees fit *provided* they
  stick to the provisions of the GPL (i.e. make available the
  source, give on the rights they received).

So if you want to do a service to humankind, stop whining, cough up
the $200 and redistribute GRSecurity. All happy. You could try to
recoup some of your costs by asking for some contributions.

Ah, you aren't out to serve humanity? What was your purpose, then?

GRSecurity Closes Stable Patch to Linux Kernel. How do you feel about this?

2015-09-15 Thread Verivel Enix
Go to grsecurity.org, look on the side panel where it lists the versions, you 
see:

Stable (Restricted): 3.1-3.2.71 Last updated: 09/13/15
Stable (Restricted): 3.1-3.14.52 Last updated: 09/13/15
Test (Free): 3.1-4.1.7 Last updated: 09/13/15 

What does this mean? It means the stable source patches, which are wholely 
derivative works of the linux kernel, have been brought closed. This is how to 
"un-GPL" a work, 101. That is what has happened, effectivly: they got around 
your intent that derivative works be open, like the linux kernel, except this 
time they are not even distributing source (like RedHat does) but not the 
binaries, the source itself is restricted. What do these stable patches consist 
of? It is a diff
that is created by linux kernel + grsecurity changes to linux kernel + 
backports of security
patches to the linux kernel. 200 dollars a month if you want it. They're using 
your security patches,
and have closed the source of the finished "product" to all the world.

GRSecurity Linux Kernel patch ends public accessability of stable patches. (The 
full rundown)

Grsecurity is a 4MB patch of the linux kernel. For 14 years now Brad Spengler 
and "PaxTeam" have released
to the public a patch to the kernel that prevents buffer overflows, adds 
address space protection, adds
Access Control List functions, prevents various other security related errors 
(the programs are terminated
rather than allowed to write to protected memory or execute other flaws), 
aswell as various improvements
shell servers might find useful such as allowing a user to only see his own 
processes (unless he is in
a special group), and tracking the ipaddress associated with a particular 
process.

Now Brad Spengler has announced that there will be no more public distribution 
of the stable GRSecurity
patch of the linux kernel.

Some supporters of GRSecurity have claimed that GRSecurity is not even a 
derivative work of the linux kernel
and that Spengler may do whatever he wishes, including closing to code to all 
except those who pay him 200
dollars per month. Detractors contend that GRSecurity is a derivative work, and 
have noted that it is not likely that the thousands of linux code contributors 
intended that derivative works be closed in this manner. Detractors have also 
noted the differences between copyright grants and alienations based on 
property law and those based on contract law, and that the linux kernel is 
likely "licensed" under contract law and not "licensed" under property law (to 
use the term loosely), and that this has implications regarding the relevancy 
of the intentions of the parties. Detractors have also noted that the agreement 
is not likely to be deemed fully integrated. Supporters of GRSecurity have then 
claimed that the linux kernel's license (GPLv2) is just a "bare license". 
Detractors then noted that licenses (creatures of property law) can be 
rescinded by the licensor at-will (barring estoppel), and in that case any 
contributor to the Linux Kernel code could rescind Brad Spengler's permission 
to create derivative works of their code at will, and that the GRSecurity 
Supporters should hope that Linux (and the GPL) is "licensed" under a contract 
and not a bare license.

The whole situation stems from WindRiver, a subsidiary on Intel(R), mentioning 
that they use GRSecurity in their product. Brad Spengler wished for WindRiver 
to pay him a 200 dollars per month fee. Spengler then threatened to sue Intel 
under copyright law and trademark law. He, at that time, claimed that Intel was 
"violating the GPL" (a claim that has now been rescinded) and his trademark on 
the word "GRSecurity" (a claim which still stands but is currently not being 
pursued in court). Intel threatened to ask for legal cost reimbursement if 
Spengler brought this to court (Judges often reward this for spurious baseless 
claims to discourage excessive litigation).

It has been noted that Brad Spengler's copyright claim is more-or-less 
non-existent, and his trademark claim is very weak and near non-existent (thus 
the threat for reimbursement of fees). In trademark law one is barred from, 
within a field of endeavor, conflating another persons trademark with ones own 
product one created. Here WindRiver (a subsidiary of Intel(R)) simply noted 
that it used the grsecurity patch in it's product: It did not create a brand 
new piece of code and call that "GRSecurity": It simply used what Spengler 
provided.

In retaliation, Spengler has announced he is closing the stable grsecurity 
patch to all but those who pay him 200 dollars per month. (And notes that any 
other branch is not fit for human consumption)
