If you say so. I haven't observed anything as I don't have one
(neither iOS nor whatever is at the other end of the communication).

Once again, I don't understand this statement because I don't
understand your terminology...

My question with pronouns removed: "So if a PDF arrives by AirPrint,
how does the MFC-J5720DW printer interpret the PDF if the MFC-J5720DW
printer doesn't have a PDF converter?"

Your response AIUI with pronouns removed: "I've said specifically the
MFC-J5720DW printer has a PDF converter. The MFC-J5720DW printer must
have; the MFC-J5720DW printer does not understand PDF."

Is that what you mean to say? If not, couuld you replace the
appropriate nouns by different nouns.

That last line wasn't intended to represent my thinking on how an iOS
device would be handled. "Phone" is the iOS device, as shown in the
_previous_ line.

None of your examples (the bits -> like -> this) have "AirPrint"
mentioned in them. I'm trying to learn from you what AirPrint is and
what it does. And yet your statements about it say things like
"The AirPrint facility handles a PDF (it has to)." and "Substitute PS,
PCL, QPDL etc for BUL to see how other manufacturers might deal with
AirPrint." which tell me nothing specifically about AirPrint.

OK. I can see that CUPS has some work to do to find the printer with
whatever it uses (dnssd/avahi/bonjour/...). That part

men forumet hittar inte språken

Entendiendo UFW e IPTABLES

[Ala de Dragón]

Hola compañer@s. :D

Me he estado leyendo algunos manuales acerca de como funcionan los
proxys en debian. Hace tiempo configure uno llamado polipo corriendo
en debian 6.

Si bien la configuracion del proxy en si, ya no es un misterio... la
configuracion del cortafuegos es harina de otro costal.
Veamos.

El proxy esta corriendo en una maquina local, con IP local fija
192.168.1.10 y no presta servicio a otras maquinas. eth0 es la
interfaz de red y el usuario que corre el servicio de llama proxy.

El proxy escuha en los puertos http/https y encamina las coenxiones a
su destino final.

Lo que me gustaria lograr en el contafuegos es:

1) bloquear cualquier intento de conexion remota al proxy
2) permitir las conexiones mediante loopback al proxy
3)* redirigir las peticiones http/https desde localhost al proxy*
4)bloquear todas las demas conexiones http/https.

El apartado tres no tengo muy claro si realmente los necesito. He
configurado /etc/envairoment y el navegador y todo sale por defecto
por el proxy. Creo que meterme en FORWARD PORTS y sucedaneos puede no
ser necesario.

En UFW, en /etc/before.rules
He añadido al final del fichero, justo antes de comit, estas lineas.

#bloquear cualquier intento de conexion remota al proxy
-A ufw-before-input -p tcp -d 192.168.1.10 -i eth0 -m multiport
--dports 80,443 -j DROP
#darle salida al proxy mediante los puertos 80,443
-A ufw-before-output -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -m owner
--uid-owner proxy -j ACCEPT
#Bloquear todo lo demas en los puertos 80,443.
-A ufw-before-output -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j DROP

Lo que consigo discernir es como crear la regla que permita solo a
localhost conectarse al proxy.


Si usted haria las reglas de otra manera, todo comentario dera bienvenido.
Saludos
:D

The file type sent by Safari (say) from an iOS device is controlled by

I've said specifically it has a PDF converter. It must have; the printer
does not understand PDF.

That last line is not correct for using Debian CUPS with an iOS device.
The process is:

iOS device -> CUPS (BUL out) -> Printer -> Print

With CUPS the process is:

This is done by CUPS
++
| Input file -> convert to PDF -> Convert to BUL | -> Printer does something
++

Because the sending device is driverless all I am saying (I have no
special insight) is that with Airprint we have:

 Done on the printer
   +--+
iOS device -> Sends PDF -> | Convert to BUL -> Printer does something |
   +--+

One filtering stage has to be moved to the printer. I do not know how it
is done but it reasonable to guess the same method which CUPS uses is 
also used. What I am sure about is that there is no PDF interpreter on
the printer. Brother already have the technology to convert from PDF to
BUL and, as a practical point, an interpreter would raise the cost of
production of the printer.

Substitute PS, PCL, QPDL etc for BUL to see how other manufacturers 
might deal with AirPrint.

The part played by what is in the Bonjour broadcasts is crucial to the
whole thing working. Apart from the questionable use of cp, IPP is used
for printing and is what is advertised in the broadcasts.

The CUPS backend converts PDF to BUL. But, as it happens, you do not
need cupsd to print to an AirPrint printer.

Why are you suggesting monochrome models? Please let's compare like
with like. You've disputed my suggestion that having native support
for PDF printing makes a printer expensive compared with the
example in the subject line (list price $250).

which seems to confirm their expensiveness. Taking the lowest numbered
model in each category that prints colour (note, prints only) and is
available to buy:

DCP-9xxx you can buy these in India though I can't work out if they're new.
HL-2700CN $450 (refurbished)
MFC-9010CN $1100

As I said, you're in a different price bracket. Guessing by what I've
seen, it's partly because PDF printing tends to come with lasers
and ethernet, ie for office documents, not home photographs.

howTo use cabal-debian to install pandoc-include.cabal

[Haines Brown]

I've reached the limits of my ability. I installed cabal-debian. Then
downloaded pandoc-include from github in order to enable pandoc to
convert a .tex file with includes to Word. In the pandoc-include-master
directory resulting from an unzip, there is a pandoc-include.cabal file.

Directions say to run cabal install pandoc-include. I try $ cabal-debian
install pandoc-include and it does not work because pandoc has no
install option. What am I doing wrong?

JFTR, it should be noted that USB - RS232 converters (which, AFAIK, all

cheap and readily available, e.g.:

Questions sur le pinning de packages

[Francois Lafont]

Bonjour à tous,

Ceci est un message que j'ai posté sur fr.comp.os.linux.conf il
y a une quinzaine de jour mais comme je n'ai pas eu de réponse
je tente ici.

J'ai deux questions sur les préférences APT et le pinning.

1) Voici un fichier de préférence APT sur un Ubuntu Trusty (désolé,
c'est la liste debian ici mais ça pourrait être une Debian Jessie
ça serait la même chose car le sujet ici uniquement est le pinning
et APT) :

~# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/ceph.pref 
Explanation: To ensure the version of the ceph package.
Package: ceph
Pin: version 9.2.1-*
Pin-Priority: 990

Dans mon esprit, ce fichier est censé donner un priorité 990 (donc
une priorité assez haute) au paquet "ceph" _dans_ sa version « 9.2.1-* »
et _uniquement_ dans cette version là.

C'est en tout cas ce que je pensais mais je constate que la commande
suivante ne me confirme pas cela (au contraire même) :

~# apt-cache policy ceph
ceph:
  Installed: 9.2.1-1trusty
  Candidate: 9.2.1-1trusty
  Package pin: 9.2.1-1trusty
  Version table:
 *** 9.2.1-1trusty 990
500 http://ceph.com/debian-infernalis/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 0.80.11-0ubuntu1.14.04.1 990  
<=== Là !
500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 
Packages
 0.79-0ubuntu1 990  
<== Et là !
500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

Comme vous pouvez voir, j'ai ceci :
a) le paquet "ceph" en version 9.2.1-1trusty, issu du dépôt ceph.com ou bien
   celui qui est présentement installé sur la machine, est en priorité 990
   (ça, c'est comme je pensais)
b) mais le paquet "ceph" en version 0.80.11-0ubuntu1.14.04.1, issu des archives
   Ubuntu, a lui _aussi_ une priorité 990.
c) et idem pour le paquet "ceph" en version 0.79-0ubuntu1 (lui aussi issu des
   archives)

Pouvez-vous m'expliquer cela car je n'ai manifestement pas bien compris la
syntaxe et la signification des fichiers préférences APT ? Je pensais avoir
mis une priorité 990 seulement au paquet "ceph" en version 9.2.1-* et la
commande ci-dessus semble me dire que _tous_ les paquets "ceph" sont en
priorité 990, _toutes_ versions confondues ?

2. J'ai pourtant tenté de lire et comprendre APT_PREFERENCES(5) mais
manifestement des choses m'échappent. En fait, mon objectif final serait
d'arriver à faire ceci via des préférences APT. Je voudrais ceci :

a) tous les paquets issus du dépôt ceph.com ont une priorité faible (disons 50)
b) sauf pour les paquets issues de ceph.com dont le numéro de version matche
   « 9.2.1-* » où là je voudrais une priorité forte (disons 990).
c) si possible en évitant une énumération exhaustive de tous les paquets du
   dépôt ceph.com (car il y en a un certain nombre, pas seulement le paquet
   "ceph" lui-même).

En pratique, mon _vrai_ objectif est qu'aucune mise à jour des paquets issus
du dépôt ceph.com ne soit possible avec les commandes APT habituelles et que
tout reste figé à la version 9.2.1-*.

Est-ce possible de faire cela avec un ou des fichiers de préférences APT ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Es raro que un componente como el puerto PCMCIA detenga el inicio del 
sistema, vamos, no se trata de ningún componente básico.

Intenta arrancar el sistema sin soporte para PCMCIA pasando al kernel el 
parámetro "nopcmcia" desde el emnú de GRUB, a ver si notas alguna 
diferencia o se queda parado en otro estadio.

Curioso porque está basado en Debian estable ¿no? Luego debe llevar la 
misma versión del kernel que Jessie.

Me acaba de confirmar el propietario que arrancando con Vista se
enciende el testigo luminoso del wifi, pero con Debian no. Yo creo que
es firmware, pero ¿cómo desactivarlo en el arranque?, echare un vistazo
a los parámetros del arranque.

Re: Scanning on Debian Jessie (kodakaio / sane issue)

[New Linux]

( Original issue: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/03/msg00241.html )
 
Unfortunately I was not able to resolve this problem. After a week
of troubleshooting, I've settled on some workarounds, which I'm
posting below.



Giving the limited information I've been able to find, I believe this is
a problem specific to using a Kodak All-In-One (kodakaio) scanner with
sane on Debian Jessie.



As mentioned in my first post, I am able to scan on Ubuntu/Xubuntu/etc
which uses the following packages:

libsane, libsane-common, sane-utils (**All version 1.0.23 on Ubuntu**)



Debian Jessie Stable is currently v1.0.24. I tried installing v1.0.25
from a different Debian repo, but still had the same errors. I then
tried using Debian snapshots to install the Wheezy version (1.0.22).
Unfortunately that version did not have a kodakaio back-end. So version
1.0.23 is the only one that worked for me with kodakaio.



However, any GUI (like xsane/simplescan) that I installed either didn't
recognize the v1.0.23 SANE packages and/or reinstalled the v1.0.24
packages. In my numerous attempts to get a compatible GUI working with
the 1.0.23 packages, I ended up having to reinstall my entire operating
system in order to clean up the mess.



Having spent a week on this, these seem to be the options:

1) Buy a new, non-Kodak, printer (ugh)

2) Scan to an SD card inserted into the kodak (low quality, limited
   functionality)

3) Use a USB/pen-drive version of Ubuntu whenever I need to scan (okay
   for infrequent use)

4) Scan from the command line on Debian Jessie (okay)



If I used the scanner frequently, I'd probably opt for a new scanner.
But since I mostly only need an occasional document scanned, I'm using
the command line option. Anyone interested in that can read below for
instructions.



[Instructions for command line scanning on kodakaio with sane]

1) I first removed the v1.0.24 libsane, libsane-common, and sane-utils
   via Synaptic Package Manager

2) I got v1.0.23 of the sane-backends from:
   https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30186

3) Extracted that and then ran the following command in the new
   diretory:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
# BACKENDS=kodakaio

4) Then, I did NOT use "make install" (that's part of what led to having
   to reinstall my OS). Instead, I used Synaptic to install
   "checkinstall" (it makes package available/uninstallable via
   Synaptic). Once installed, close Synaptic and then run this command:

# checkinstall



Here's how I do an 8.5x11 (US Letter size) scan:

# cd /home/user/Documents  (or wherever you want the scan saved)

# scanimage -d kodakaio --mode gray --resolution 300 -x 215.9 -y 279.40
# > MyDocScan.pgm

(for different sizes, note that x/y are in millimeters)



To see other options (for color/resolution/etc), do this command:
# scanimage --help -d 'kodakaio'



Once scanned, you can then adjust the image with GIMP. For a document,
this is what I do in GIMP:

.. Colors -> Brightness/Contrast -> Contrast to 30

.. Image -> Scale Image -> Then choose either 300 or 72 pixel resolution
(72 is blurry), and set to 8.5x11 inches

.. File -> Export -> Select File Type (Portable Doc Format / PDF) ->
Export



This is not ideal, but it works. Again, another (maybe safer) option is
to use Ubuntu on a pen-drive for infrequent scanning. If anyone finds a
way to get the kodaio working on Debian Jessie's current sane/libsane,
please post a followup. I'd much rather use a GUI like xsane or
simplescan.

This is indeed strange, considering the fact that Jessie works fine on
both of these models. Are there any suspect Tails-specific
functionalities which may be the cause?

When you say "fail", what do you mean? Do they both refuse to boot?
Blank screen? Stuck on login? What?

There was a NEWS entry, so it should have been picked up by apt-
listchanges, but maybe that entry should have been in the iceweasel
package instead I'm not sure.

Anyway, file bugs, or help writing the release notes so others doesn't
get bitten by the same things.

Changes like these are part of the joy of using unstable :)

Iceweasel is no more, read the changelog. 


Aside from an advisory a read in the general news a week prior, with no 
schedule attached, there was no notification. The update itself, listed 
'Iceweasel'.


If you think it should install a symlink, file a bug.


There's much more than a symlink involved.
The installation happened on two machines: on the laptop, it failed to 
find the main bookmark menu, and as that was the first update, that went 
west. I backed up the bookmarks file on the PC, but it found that.


Regarding symlinks (multiple), there's nothing to link www-browser, or

Before reading your next post, I also thought that the backup disk was
not properly mounted after being reformatted. There should be some form
of size limit or quota on /media to warn against this kind of common
mistake.

Yes, but not for this reason. Creating partitions does very little
modification to a disk.
IMO there are two better reasons :
- There were much fewer overwrites to the XD (only filesystem metadata)
than the HD (complete system installation).
- Files on the XD were written in sequence and not modified, meaning
that they are less fragmented and easier to recover.
