Item 4 is a folder but resembels a filename w extension
Any suggestions?
use find. sometimes trying to make a square peg
fit in a round hole isn't worth it.
The annoying facet of the problem is that
"Applications->Accessories->Search for files" retrieves exactly the data
I want and can sort it so that it visually groups data
'productively'{right word??}.
But it can only be saved as an image. I need ASCII text.
In my reading I found references that internally it uses "find" &/or
"locate" but I don't look forward to formatting the output of either.
Although I've done some coding years ago, in no way would I refer to
myself as a programmer.

IIRC I have in the past typed ip route show and then pasted the IP of the default route into the browser. Am I remembering correctly, and would that IP address obey your conditions outlined earlier?

Re: Sound problems (mpd, mpv mainly)
Hi Pierre,
When i do:
/usr/bin/mpv --version
it responds with:
mpv 0.23.0 (C) 2000-2016 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects
built on UNKNOWN
ffmpeg library versions:
libavutil 55.34.100
libavcodec 57.64.101
libavformat 57.56.100
libswscale 4.2.100
libavfilter 6.65.100
libswresample 2.3.100
ffmpeg version: 3.2.2-2
I did not install ffmpeg explicitly, but when i installed mpv it
picked up a bunch of other packages.
(For reference, i did install some other sound packages centered
around sox and sndfile, but i'm guessing these are irrelevant.)
Everything is via apt-get, nothing home-compiled (yet).
/etc/debian_version says '9.0' for me, and i think it is called
'stretch' (it is not in the list of debian versions in the wikipedia,
which stops at 8, 'jessie').
I put debian on a fresh partition (i.e., this is not an upgrade) in
early February this year to get access to some newer and totally
unrelated packages.
The mpv website recommends building your own or using a 3rd party
builds instead of relying on a package. ("Distributions usually
package outdated, unmaintained, and unsupported versions of mpv. This
is especially true for popular distros like Debian and Ubuntu. You are
recommended to use mpv-build or 3rd party packages instead.") That's
all in https://mpv.io/installation/
However, despite using both debian and ubuntu, i've never had to do
that yet. knock on wood! :)
But if you do install something from mpv.io, and it works better for
jessie, please post and tia!

Captive network account (w/ login redirect) and HSTS
Hello, with a basic Debian jessie install and a recent Firefox, I observe the following: [1] Debian has no specific support for detecting captive networks (e.g. Android, iOS) and redirecting automatically the browser to the captive login page [2] launching Firefox on the default page doesn't work (doesn't get redirected properly to the login page but fails with a HTTPS certificate error), if there is a recent HSTS[*] security configuration cache for the default domain page (e.g. google.com) [1] is not really an issue: I wouldn't like myself that connecting to a WiFi captive network starts a browser. Also, open captive networks are messing up, dangerous, a WPA/RADIUS auth would be much better. However, open captive networks are quite commons in hotels, airports, parks, etc. So it cannot be dismissed. [2] the only fix is to type an URL you know is HTTP, not HTTPS and does not configure HSTS, and does not support DNSSEC. In my case I used ptiturl.ch Maybe this could be in the Debian User manual somehow? Feel free to contact me if you want help in writing the documentation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security

problems using PBIS-Open for AD authentication
Hello, Just wondering if anyone on here is using PBIS-Open (the successor to Likewise-Open) in order to authenticate with an AD domain controller. I have managed to install it on several machines. I can run the domainjoin-cli program, join the domain, but not login using AD credentials. I can see all the AD users on the login screen, it just claims the password is wrong every time. If I look at auth.log, this is what I see: Apr 2 15:55:26 rvfk-mbproc-04 login[9471]: [lsass-pam] [module:pam_lsass]User paul.d is denied access because they are not in the 'require membership of' list Apr 2 15:55:26 rvfk-mbproc-04 login[9471]: [lsass-pam] [module:pam_lsass]pam_sm_authenticate error [login:paul.d][error code:40158] Apr 2 15:55:29 rvfk-mbproc-04 login[9471]: FAILED LOGIN (2) on '/dev/pts/1' FOR 'paul.d', Authentication failure Running /opt/pbis/bin/config --show RequireMembershipOf I get the following: multistring DomainUsers local policy And, yes, that really is a blank line between DomainUsers and local policy. I have an older system running Likewise-Open which IS working correctly, but I cannot find an equivalent to that command in order to show the RequiredMemberships on that system. And the operating system is Linux Mint 18. Yes, I know its not pure Debian, but I suspect there may be someone on her with a Clue about this... Thanks! Paul.

In Xorg.0.log, the errors are logged with (EE) prefix, so the output of grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be useful in documenting the problem. In your case, you already gave the relevant information but thought I would point it out in case you are not aware of it. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
