ISO9660 creator in Debian Jessie

[terryc]

I need a prog to create an ISO image of files to transfer to a second
machine for burning, but I've suddenly found that my rich collection of
tools is noew depreciated and D'd in Debian Jessie.

Unfortuantely, all that both machines have is Xfburn, which it gives
you an option of creating an ISO, it only does so if the burner is in
that machine. Major bummer.

I'm looking for recommendations that do work in this situation.

try and take a look at 'journalctl -b 0'
that might give some info or you can look at '/var/log/messages' and/or 
'/var/log/syslog'.  those last two kind of depends on how your systemd is set 
up.

would you mind if we know what is the kernel and the systemd version?

I don't think it is a kernel issue though.
You see your systemd-journal fails to start so you don't provide /dev/log
which is needed by ... well perhaps most of the newer applications. Try
solving this first

Mutt com vacation (auto replay) setup

[Marcelo Laia]

Colega,

Eu uso o mutt + msmtp + offlineimap para gerenciamento e envio de mensagens.

A fim de ficar respondendo a muita gente que eu estou em gozo de férias,
resolvi instalar o pacote vacation (apt-get install vacation). Eu também 
instalei o pacote msmtp-mta. Logo, o sendmail aponta para mamtp:

marcelo@marcelo:~$ ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 ago  5 13:14 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> ../bin/msmtp
marcelo@marcelo:~$ 

Meu arquivo .forward está assim:

\marcelo, meuloginnogm...@gmail.com, "|/usr/bin/vacation -a contaalvo marcelo

Contaalvo é a conta para a qual eu quero que sejam dadas as respostas
automáticas.

No entanto, quando eu testo, eu somente recebo a resposta automática se eu
enviar um email para a conta marcelo@localhost. Isso mostra que o vacation está
funcionando. Mas, se eu mando uma mensagem para contaa...@mudominio.com, eu não
recebo nada de volta. Já excluí o arquivo .vacation.db!

Você saberia me ajudar?

So, in the end, you went for a Brother MFC-9340CDW. Looks a nice machine
but as was said in a previous mail of mine (resent to the list due to
feline frollicking) this doesn't get you off square one if you use the
Brother printer drivers. Ok, there are PCL6 and PostScript emulations on
the device so a generic PPD (missing access to some of the printer's
functionality) could be used. At about 350 GBP for the device though,
I'd want my money's worth.

Now for the good news. Your printer does AirPrint. An AirPrint printer
has to accept data in the Apple Raster Format (URF) and CUPS 2.2.2 has
support for sending Apple Raster to a printer. cups-browsed 1.12.0 has
adjusted its CreateIPPPrinterQueues directive to take account of this:

 
http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/loggerhead/openprinting/cups-filters/annotate/head:/utils/cups-browsed.conf.5

Problem also solved for any HP AirPrint capable machines which uses a
plugin.

That varies from person to person, which makes things difficult for those 
trying to help.  

Speaking personally, I need a denser darker font with much more spacing.  
Making it bigger indeed helps - but not as much as having it in my email 
client and fully controlling the font!  Archives seem to override any 
settings I may have put in my browser, and use a very thin font which i 
cannot succeed in over-riding. 

And I need things broken up and with lots of space.  I achieve this in my 
email client by changing the colour of the bits I don't really need to see, 
and simply not reading large blocks of text.  Archives are harder, but break 
up better sometimes than others - perhaps because of the originating email 
client.

I think the extent of my own expertise, or lack of it, in controlling my 
browser comes into it.  Certainly, having had a good look now, things seem to 
have improved since I last tried do much with archives.  I've changed?  The 
browser has changed??  The archives have changed??  My DTE global controls 
have changed??

Add on the having to click through all the time, which you mention, and it 
becomes a very tedious experience.  But a LOT better than nothing!

systemd-journald fails

Hi,

on a fresh jessie install, upgraded to stretch I get

I think this then results in errors during an apt-get upgrade:

The system is hosted at scaleway, i.e. it is not a Debian kernel, which is

Any hints what I could do to resolve this, is welcome.

I'm curious as to what the problem is?  I mean, I don't have much of a 
problem, but I use a legible font and use + to increase the font size to 
a comfortable size (on my 32" monitor), and the colors are my preferred black 
on a white background (as opposed to a light color on a dark background--
which, among other things, some applications or websites still do some things 
wrong when they interpolate colors for .

The user interface isn't ideal (I mean, too many choices, I imagine a non-
sighted person might get frustrated listening to all the choices).

And, in general, I'd prefer to see several posts from the same thread on one 
page rather than paging for each post

But, is there something else, and which is the biggest problem for non-sighted 
or partially sighted people?

It looks like you have got the line numbers with your copy-paste.  The
wiki has a button to disable showing line numbers in code snippets.  The
line numbers should not be present in the sql file.  You can remove them
by hand also, of course.

Can you show us the file "wp.sql" you used?

My guess is that by copying you picked up the line numbers from the
wiki page: those don't belong to the SQL commands. But it's just a guess.
