Thanks Floris, but python-apt was not the fix. :(
I think Synaptic would be a good bet for the most liable to break app in 
Debian's repos, the number of bugs filed against it are huge.

But like you say, it will be fixed soon. :)

Thanks Brad for letting me know that testing was okay, one of my 5 
Sid/Testing systems was still not upgraded with the bug yet, so I 
removed the Sid repose so it would not get the bug, but the other 4 have 
a broken synaptic, Apt is one of the Sid upgrades and I figure it's the

 Quando o arquivo db.dominio.com.br  do

 No NS3 o arquivo chega aberto, totalmente legível.

 Alguém sabe o que eu posso fazer para evitar isso?

Jessie>Stretch Update Challenges

2016-09-01 Thread Paul Gallaway
Actually, this didn't go too badly. Better than expected even. I have
two systems I upgraded. Ones a desktop I rarely use and it went
perfect so I went for it on my HTPC/mythtv/Steam system as well.

Here's the process I followed:
Changed my sources in /etc/apt/sources.list from jessie to stretch.
Use the release names rather than stable/testing because you will
stick with stretch when it is pushed to stable rather than switching
over to the new testing release.
Changed my /etc/apt/preferences to prefer testing packages over stable.
Ran the updates first with apt-get upgrade and then apt-get
dist-upgrade. Once I could issue an apt-get upgrade without having any
required updates I rebooted the systems. I one system it required an
apt-get -f install when something got hung up but pretty painless
overall.

This update resolved a couple issues I was having:
-LIRC was no longer functioning properly with kernels in Jessie
backports since 4.5 or so (confirmed to continue to work with 4.4). It
seems to 'just work' again with Stretch under kernel 4.6.
-I was having some issues with sound in Steam with one system where I
use SPDIF. I'm not certain at what point it was introduced (I don't
play that often but was there with/without the NVidia videocard but
not on my other desktop system which uses NVidia-legacy) and I don't
know if it was pulse, or alsa or kernel or some configuration file,
but it's working perfectly now.
-With Jessie Backports I had to apply a patch to get the NVidia
modules to compile with 4.x kernels. It wasn't necessary with Stretch.

And here's where I'm still struggling:
-The KDE desktop doesn't want to appear. My system is set for KDM to
autologin my user and start mythtv; this didn't change and worked
perfectly (as does LIRC as mentioned above). However, if I close
mythtv, I get a black screen. I can use alt+F1 to open applications
menu, apparently, I can't see it, it's all black. However, I can type
a program name to make it to launch (like 'system settings' so I could
make the fonts legible from my couch, or web browser, or konsole). So
currently I'm able to launch any of the programs but it sure would be
nice to be able to see what I'm doing. Also the program switcher works
and the task bar so I can see what I have open and switch programs
once they are open. So far I've tried removing .cache and certain
files in .config without success.
-Problem two I'm getting the KDE task bar overtop of the MythTV menu
and videos. However when I open the same recordings using mplayer (and
fullscreen switch) the video goes over the bar.

Based on these two issues I am wondering if it's a compositing issue
related to the NVidia driver ... *sigh* I know, hooray for binary
blobs!

I'll spend some time tonight trying to resolve these two issues but if
there's any insight on migrating to KDE Plasma 5 I'd appreciate it
(last KDE email to the list was March 17 so not holding out hope...).
My other desktop system uses Gnome Shell which appears to be running
fine so maybe I'll just try Gnome Shell but if it's a compositing
problem, I'll likely have the same issue. Mostly I'm posting this as
an FYI for people starting to consider the upgrade. I have one other
laptop that has KDE 4 that I'll hold off on until I can confirm I can
get KDE 5 it to work properly.

That's very odd. A reply to some entity should go To: them. Cc: is a

But that would be breaking a perfectly good MUA.

The problem boils down to somebody adding addresses to Mail-Followup-To,
which has a worse effect that just CCing people when replying to d-u,
something that people already moan about. I already defend myself
against the latter with Reply-To: set to the list. Now it appears
I have to defend myself against committing the former by dropping
Mail-Followup-To. Unfortunately mutt cannot divine whether an address
in a received Mail-Followup-To was put there by the unsubscribed
owner, or gratuitously by someone else. It either passes them all
along, or drops them all, AFAICT.

Cheers,
David.

Re: Dual boot. Ubuntu update removes Debian GRUB.

2016-09-01 Thread Felix Miata

Stefan.schultz19.5.1991 composed on 2016-09-01 14:30 (UTC-0400):


Dual boot. Ubuntu update removes Debian GRUB.



Last week I installed a few updates to Ubuntu 14.04. It installed the updates 
and then froze whilst installing Ununtu's grub. After the re-boot, Ubuntu was 
the only choice of O/S. No sign of Debian.



After a few hours I finally got Debian recovery to reinstall the Grub on the 
MBR of the SSD.



Some notes.



128GB SSD /dev/sda (GRUB finally reinstalled here)



Partions



60GB Ubuntu /dev/sda1
4GB Ubuntu swap /dev/sda8
54GB Debian 'Jessie' /dev/sda7 (unlocked)
6GB Debian swap /dev/sda6 (unlocked)



GRUB



4GB Debian GRUB /dev/sda5 (will not boot from this)
Ubuntu boot loader is installed here too.



Encrypted partitions



54GB Debian 'Jessie' /dev/mapper/sda7_crypt
6GB Debian swap /dev/mapper/sda6_crypt



TWO QUESTIONS.



1/ Can anybody explain why the Ubuntu update deleted/removed the Debian GRUB?


Last installed wins always. This gets repeated at update time of a previous 
installation, which is what just happened to you.


This has been explained countless times countless places. Whenever any 
subsequent installation is performed, Windows or Linux, the subsequent 
installer will overwrite the MBR with native code - *unless* you take 
affirmative steps to prevent it from doing so. The how and why is somewhat 
complicated, so in simplest terms, the best thing to do is disallow 
installing anything to the MBR. In practical terms you can't do this with 
Windows, so if Windows will be subsequent, then all you can to is take steps 
in advance to minimize the disruption and ease recovery, something easily 
done in about a minute if familiar with the process and planned for.



2/ Is there a Debian approved GRUB boot customizer? I can't find one
mentioned anywhere.


Booted to Ubuntu, running os-prober ought to find Debian and put it in its 
Grub2 menu. If you want Debian to be the default, first either reconfigure 
the default selection in Ubuntu, or boot Debian to have it reinstall the 
bootloader. On very next boot to Ubuntu, reconfigure Ubuntu to boot from its 
/ partition.



Is it possible to resolve this? This would be a pain in the butt, if I had
to do this at every Ubuntu update!


At least one of the of the two installations needs to have its bootloader 
reconfigured to its / partition instead of MBR.

"No sign of Debian" is not our responsibility; contact Ubuntu about it.

Ubuntu installs its own GRUB to the MBR. However, the menu it produces
should show all the other OSs.

You would experience the same if you installed another Debian to another
partition. It installs its own GRUB to the MBR and produces a new menu.
If that menu did not have all the other OSs it would be a bug. We would
then spring into action.

Ok, that is ONE! P2P project which happen to have these values you claim

What the hell are you talking about? And define how to come from the
existence of a "project" to come to a mandatory value hierachy.

No one authorizes them, but they are free to accept or reject the

others

There are surely way to do this, but in conjunction to the above it boils

The problem is trust and trust must be established, perhaps in 5y we'll see
another way of mail communication. I do not follow the future that closely,
but for now DMARC seems to be the only way most of the communities and
companies take. I recently got involved into DMARC related project and it
sounds at least promissing.

It is not broken - the design just gets abused too often.

Dual boot. Ubuntu update removes Debian GRUB.

2016-09-01 Thread Stefan.schultz19.5.1991
Dual boot. Ubuntu update removes Debian GRUB.

Hello Debian support,

Last week I installed a few updates to Ubuntu 14.04. It installed the updates 
and then froze whilst installing Ununtu's grub. After the re-boot, Ubuntu was 
the only choice of O/S. No sign of Debian.

After a few hours I finally got Debian recovery to reinstall the Grub on the 
MBR of the SSD.

Some notes.

128GB SSD /dev/sda (GRUB finally reinstalled here)

Partions

60GB Ubuntu /dev/sda1
4GB Ubuntu swap /dev/sda8
54GB Debian 'Jessie' /dev/sda7 (unlocked)
6GB Debian swap /dev/sda6 (unlocked)

GRUB

4GB Debian GRUB /dev/sda5 (will not boot from this)
Ubuntu boot loader is installed here too.

Encrypted partitions

54GB Debian 'Jessie' /dev/mapper/sda7_crypt
6GB Debian swap /dev/mapper/sda6_crypt

TWO QUESTIONS.

1/ Can anybody explain why the Ubuntu update deleted/removed the Debian GRUB?

2/ Is there a Debian approved GRUB boot customizer? I can't find one mentioned 
anywhere.

Is it possible to resolve this? This would be a pain in the butt, if I had to 
do this at every Ubuntu update!

Thanks for your help.

Of the approximately 14,000 mails in my -user archive about 1000 have a
MFT header. Out of that 1000 the vast majority designate -user@l.d.o as
the only place where the mail should go to. About 10 have a user's 
address only; 0.1%. Decision time.

I don't know anything about Postfix, but I'd have thought that the job
of dropping sorted mail into different Maildir directories was one of
its tasks.

Certainly exim4 sorts the mail for me into mail directories used by
Courier, on the basis of a .forward file, and exim4 also implements
Sieve if I ever need real complication.

Hi list,

I'm running postfix under Wheezy on my VPS, using a more or less
out-of-the-box configuration. My users access their mail via IMAP.

I subscribe to a number of mail lists, such as this one. I currently use
Thunderbird's filtering capability to sort mail into a number of
subdirectories within my inbox, which works fine, but requires me to set up
all my workstayions (laptop, home, work) with the same filters. I have now
acquired an Android smartphone, which has no filtering capability. In any
case, keeping a number of workstations in sync is a pain.

So, I'd like to perform the filtering on the server (for my user initially,
then perhaps for others). My extensive googling reveals that there are many
tutorials for filtering spam, but that's not really my problem.

I can't find any tutorials on how to set up filters based on, say subject:,
from:, or to: fields, but feel certain such must exist.
Can any kind person direct me to a suitable tutorial, please?


You can use:

- sieve, a language for controlling filtering on IMAP servers.
  Supported by Thunderbird but not very much else.

- procmail, a language for filtering on delivery (postfix will
  call it) -- widely known, but arcane syntax and requires shell
  access to edit or place the ~/.procmailrc

- maildrop, aka mailfilter, a language for filtering on delivery
  (postfix will call it, too) -- less widely known, but has
  syntax that is much more readable than procmail. Requires
  shell access to place a ~/.mailfilter file.

All of these have Debian packages.



Thanks for the heads-up, Dan. I'll take a look at maildrop.

What you're looking for is an implementation of the Sieve
language/system for mail filtering. You don't say what IMAP
server you are using, but Dovecot has an implementation of this called
"Pigeonhole" that is very likely what you want.

Cuando desmontas la llave con seguridad se usa esa opción (eject/detach).

I disagree. If you want to share swap space, then you've got to
take appropriate action yourself. The easy way is to LABEL it in
/etc/fstab rather than UUID it, unless you like reading and typing
long strings of hex.

I disagree. Is d-i expected to have a list of partition types, and
contents, that shouldn't be overwritten? Are all the flavours of fdisk
to test all the partitions on a disk before they allow you to
repartition it? If yes, then what about C> FDISK ? This just lulls
people into a false sense of security. Then Windows comes along...

Just as you can install 145 OSes on one PC, you can share swap space
among them, but it's then up to you to work out how to do this safely,
not just file a bug against an innocent installer doing what's asked
of it. The OP has enjoyed help from a sizeable thread entitled
"Problem with NON-STANDARD install" (his emphasis) which focussed
mainly on Grub. Perhaps we have to look forward to more problems
arising from the non-standard circumstances, but these will all
help with the OP's desired learning process.

Cheers,
David.

Seems that they're already widely available -- you just have to build
them from source.  This is usually the case for the "latest" drivers,
especially with Debian Stable.

"Debian Stable" doesn't typically add in new things that could break its
stability (such as drivers) -- the updates are mainly for security
flaws.

Ubuntu would get the new drivers at some point, but that'd probably be
in a point release (e.g. 16.04.1) that updates to whatever the current
kernel at the time is -- though, that does assume the kernel includes
the mentioned Realtek drivers ;)

It is not a bug. If you want to use the same swap partition with multiple
install, then you should not reformat the swap partition. How can the
installer guess that you want to use the same swap partition for multiple
OS. (reinstalling the same system is a common task -- but i always wonder
why ...)

Maybe you want to add warning message before formatting like "Care, a swap
partition already exist at /dev/sdaXX, would you like to reformat it ?"

IMO, you should know what you're doing. It's not the installer job to
"think" for you ! The installer just does what you ask him to do !

By the way you can have a look at debootstrap if you want multiple debian
install, (only one booted OS, but multiple Debian OS accessible with chroot)

If you want more powerfull way of doing this you can check lxc, and docker.
Today multiboot seem really deprecated (unless you have windows)

As a glasses wearer for 75 years, and one of the tri-focal crowd for 
about 65 years, I cheat, making use of the multiple workspaces windowing 
system, I have a multitab terminal-4.8 session open on workspace 1. The 
first tab has a 'sudo htop' run on it, first thing after a reboot, so I 
can always kill a runaway session of firefox or iceweasel that refuses 
to die on request. Accessable in 2 clicks no matter how stuffed the 
system is.

Next tab has a "sudo tail -fn400 /var/log/messages" on it so I can look 
at the whole boot log if I want, and the next 3 or 4 tabs are tailing 
other stuff that automate much of what I do here.

workspace 2 has a duplicate of a multitab terminal-4.8 on it, each tab 
logged into a different machine on my local network with an 
"ssh -Y machine-alias".

I could go on for 8 more "workspaces", but you get the idea.;-)
And after 19+ days of uptime, I have 39 megs of stuff in swap. And I'm 
still on wheezy LTS.

Which was installed last, Squeeze, or Jessie? You can expect this
message trying to boot the earlier installed installation after
having done the later install. Unless you take affirmative action
to deny it, an existing swap partition used by the earlier
installation will be reformatted by the later installation.
Reformatting creates a new UUID, thus making the UUID referring
to it in the earlier installation's fstab invalid. The earlier
needs to have its fstab edited to use the correct swap partition
UUID, or volume label, or device name, if swap is actually
desired or needed.


There may be some subtle problems still lurking somewhere which
show up only for people like me doing many installs of *nearly*
identical systems.

Commenting out the line in /etc/fstab DID allow it to boot
without warning messages.

However,taking into account Darac's comments, does this now mean
that the machines are now operating without a swap partition?

IIRC the current instance of Jessie on the laptop was the
chronologically the last OS installed so by the comments in this
thread should not have had the problem. The laptop is my
designated "Guinea pig" so I'll do a fresh install to see if
problem persists.


My procedure was:
1. Using the Live edition of Gparted, remove all partitions on 
hard disk.

2. Using install DVD 1 of Debian 8.0.0
   a. install Debian to /dev/sda1
   b. create swap on /dev/sda2
3. Verify Debian boots without problems
4. Using the same DVD
   a. install Debian to /dev/sda5
   b. re-create swap on /dev/sda2
5. Attempt to boot both instances
   a. Booting the install on /dev/sda1 generates the warning 
message and use

  of free shows swap does not exist.
   b. Booting the install on /dev/sda5 generates no warning 
message and use

  of free shows swap does exist.

I believe this justifies a bug report against the installer.
My expected behavior would be to check to see if a swap area 
already exists before "creating" a swap partition. Especially 
since replacing a swap partition can break a previously 
functioning install in a multi-boot situation.

How often are RealTek drivers brought up to date for Debian?

2016-09-01 Thread sebast...@reuter.pw
Hello Debian Support team,

QUESTION...

Please can you tell me whether the RealTek drivers for
rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux, can be approved for Debian, so Tails is able to
work with this fast wireless dongle?
--

More details.

I'm a new convert to Debian/Tails/open source, I'm learning fast!

Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a land line for Internet
access anymore.

I have just purchased the latest wireless dongle from CoredyTech..

This is Coredy's web page for drivers, including Linux.

http://coredytech.com/goods-89-Coredy+AC1200+Dual+Band+USB+WiFi+Adapter.html

With a lot of help from a neighbour we eventually got it working with
Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, and Debian 'Jessie' with the instructions and
command lines, from this site, not the cd rom!

https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7#TOC-Realtek-RTL8812AU-chipset-0bda:8812-

COMMAND LINES...

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git

git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

make

sudo make install

An interesting observation, it uses

13.4 MB installed in Ubuntu and
106.7 MB installed in Debian.
It works first time, everytime time in Debian, and is erratic connecting
to a wireless connection in Ubuntu, but once connected works fine.

Yours sincerely

I decided many years ago that 'set followup_to=yes' didn't do anything

honor_followup_to and pressing 'L' could lead to a CC'ing-by-proxy chain

I'd report it against gscan2pdf in the first instance. The maintainers of the

Yep but it will depend on the number of messages (and their rate) sent.
Virtually instantaneous for 2 people, but for 500 ?

In France we rely heavily on centralised messaging system like Hipchat, or
Slack.
