You can create sub-folders to divide the games or other apps into your
own sorted lists by creating new menu (a sub-folder) with your chosen
name and then drag and drop the program titles into the new sub-menu
(sometimes quite tricky to get the exact placement to move the program)

Thank you for confirming that the command is supposed to be there and

changing the theme doesn't seem to make any difference.

to be nitpicking, shouldn't this rather be

 cp -a /home/. /mnt

just to cover the (admittedly unlikely) case there is some hidden

I think it would be preferable for every package which wants to write to the
resolv.conf file to be required to use the resolvconf package to do so
(which is what I, and I think some other people, thought the situation was
until we read this thread). Uninstalling the resolvconf package would then
mean nothing could write to the resolv.conf file.

I've been in the fortunate position that I've never needed to install the
resolvconf package and nothing has ever tried to modify my resolv.conf file.
I've obviously led a sheltered life.

First, take a backup. Things tend to go wrong if they can!

Do all of this as root. Best if no user is logged in (since
this might change the contents of /home during the procedure;
safest is if you boot in single user mode)

 - if not done yet, set up a file system of your choice (I'll
  assume ext4, adjust to taste)

  mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4

  *THIS WILL WIPE THE CONTENT OF /dev/sda4*

 - add /dev/sda4 to your /etc/fstab:

  a line like this

  /dev/sda4 /home          ext4    defaults        0      2

  (instead of /dev/sda4 you can insert the disk's UUID, which
  you find out with "sudo blkid /dev/sda4". This has the advantage
  that the blkid is sometimes more stable than the device name)

  Adjust your file system 

  *DON'T REBOOT YET*

 - copy the content of /home to your new disk:
  for example
  - mount /dev/sda4 somewhere suitable:

    mount /dev/sda4 /mnt

  - copy the contents of /home to its future location:

    rsync -av /home/ /mnt/
    (slashes are important)

    or cp -a /home/* /mnt

  - test your setup. Either issue "mount -a" and login as normal user
    or just reboot normally (if you were in single user mode, just
    reboot). All working?

  - if yes, you can wipe the content of your old /home, which is
    still taking up space on your /dev/sda3:

  - boot into single user mode

  - unmount /home (which is now /sda4)

    umount home

  - now your old home becomes visible. Wipe it

    rm -Rf /home/*

  - reboot. Done!

You didn't forget to take a backup, did you?

Don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear. Proceed with caution!

I found it in Buster, too, k/t "apt-cache search mplayer-gui". Then..
I'd been playing around in Packages online earlier so it occurred to
me to try this:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/mplayer-gui

That received back this:

"Error
Package not available in this suite."

Replacing "jessie" with "buster" in that URL lands this (just for starters):

"Package: mplayer-gui (2:1.3.0-7)
movie player for Unix-like systems (GUI variant)"

For whatever development related reasons, it's really not showing up
for Jessie..

OK, here's the fishing rod :-)

Go, no, *run* and install package "apt-file". Issue apt-file update
in a terminal, and then:

  apt-file search xcolor

(or whatever string you come up). Apt-file searches for packages
containing files matching the pattern. You can control whether the
pattern is interpreted as regex or as a literal (sub)string.

 Bonjour Angelique
Comme dans les  édifices de méme génération, le sanctuaire est d' une ampleur 
exceptionnelle afin d' y rassembler les stalles des  chanoines. La majeure 
partie d' entre elles a résisté à la suppression du jubé en 1755 et à l' 
élargissement de l' entrée axiale: soixante-deux hautes subsistent sur les 
soixante-six d' origine et quarante-huit basses au lieu de cinquante-quatre. 
Sculptés dans le chène entre 1508 et 1519, à la charnière du Mayen Age et de la 
Renaissance, quelque quatre mille personnages interprètent des épisodes de l' 
Ancien, du Nouveau Testament ou de la vie de la Vierge, voire des scènes de 
genre. La virtuosité du décor des accoudoire, des rampes, des jouées et du dais 
continu, confirme le talent des huchiers picards. A la fois témoignage des 
préoccupations spirituelles des chanoines, ces stalles sont aussi le reflet de 
la société amiénoise du temps. Le programme des réaménagements, commandés par 
l' évèque d' Orléans de la Motte et le chanoine Cornet de Coupel au xvlle 
siècle, répond à une volonté de mise au gout du jour du mobilier du sanctuaire. 
Lui conférant la pompe et la théàtralité indispensables à la célébration de l' 
Eucharistie, il vise aussi à masquer les travées du déambulatoire afin d' 
éviter que les fidèles ne troublent le saint Sacrifice en se rendant à la 
petite paroisse. Dans le gout baroque, les marbres précieux du dallage 
soulignent la sobriété des enduits fausse pierre et l' éclat de l' or des bois 
sculptés. L' élégance et la juste proportion du maitre-autel et de sa gloire, 
réalisés en 1768-1771 par P.-J. Christophle et J.-B. Dupuis, valent à l' 
ensemble de ce décor d' échapper à la destruction du courant néogothique du 
xlxe siècle.

Also, is there any reason why you're defining a monitor section in your

issuing xrandr commands to run the rotation immediately upon login or
similar, IMO. Or using autorandr or similar.]

At first sight I only see two: xcolors and xcolorsel. They don't seem
to have the possibility to enter RGB values (they do show them, though).

Searching the intrawebs for xcoloredit yields some hits -- it seems
to have been part of the X suite at some time. No idea why it isn't
packaged, though.

what package to edit colors?

[Fred]

Hello,

Xcoloredit was available for Solaris to view system standard colors and 
enter rgb values.  I found this is available for some of the BSD 
distributions but not Debian.  All I could find is kcolorchooser which 
is associated with KDE which I don't use.  Is there another color 
viewer/editor package for Debian (Jessie) or does anyone know where the 
source code for xcoloredit is?

A Labtec/Vivitar camera has a similar failure. Is any USB camera 
working in Debian 9?  

Many packages in 9 are being updated.  Maintainers must be swamped.

Did you get anywhere with this?

I am trying to get a similar system configure with Debian testing/buster
and not getting anywhere beyond having two monitors on a single card
recognised.  I have three monitors, two on first card and 1 on second
card.  Only the ones of the first card are getting managed by
Xorg.  Although the second card and associated monitor are found by
Xorg, I cannot seem to get Xorg to configure and actually use this third
monitor.

Details follow:

$ dpkg --list '*nouveau*'
libdrm-nouveau2:amd642.4.84-2 
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau   1:1.0.15-2

$ uname -a

but then nothing is connected to this monitor or this monitor is not
connected to anything...  The strange thing is that the output says that
output DVI-I-1-2 will use the "rotated" monitor section which has
already been assigned to the DVI-I-1 output.

I can post Xorg.0.log as well as my current xorg.conf if anybody is
interested.  Without an xorg-conf at all, I get the same effective
behaviour: two monitors working but third one ignored.

Any suggestions welcome.

I do, as probably the other subscribers of debian-user.

Looks like texts snippets taken from a french book about the art history

A google query for maxvid...@hotmail.fr only yields posts to debian-user
as valid matches. So like with the "bit.ly" reflector spami a few months

Add/Remove appication from MATE Applications drop down menu

My first problem is there are too many games cluttering the Games

the executable?


My second problem is I do not use Firefox. I wish to replace it with a 
non-Debian executable [SeaMonkey].


I've seen instructions somewhere [can't recall where] for adding an

Here are my notes on using an encrypted USB device. This crib
is an annotated version of output from script. I've not used
lvm/vgchange, so that was the main focus of my query.

## Using (non-removable device) the easier way:
## /etc/fstab entry is:
/dev/mapper/luks-3d863b13-5914-476b-b7a5-6e9af95673e6 /media/adam01 ext4 
rw,errors=remount-ro,user,noauto

$ udisksctl unlock --block-device 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/3d863b13-5914-476b-b7a5-6e9af95673e6
Passphrase:
Unlocked /dev/sdb1 as /dev/dm-0.
$ mount /media/adam01/
$ 

# when finished:

$ umount /media/adam01/
$ udisksctl lock --block-device 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/3d863b13-5914-476b-b7a5-6e9af95673e6
Locked /dev/sdb1.
$ 

Hence my use of the term "locked".

That I do, that I'm happy to do, and that isn't the focus of this
question.

AFAICT umount and sync (or a period of time passing) writes everything
to the device that it needs.

Yes, I understand that. But is that only for the benefit of the
PC, not the device that was plugged in? When you unmount, things
get written to the device. Is the same true of vgchange -an and
cryptsetup luksClose? I think not for the latter.

> The commands in deloptes' message seem correct and are what you need.

Yes, I am aware that the solution is precisely correct. My question
is aimed at the case where everything *doesn't* go exactly to plan,
ie possible real-world scenarios.

Let me give you an unsafe analogy of what I mean. You pull up at
a filling station¹ and fuel your car²³⁴. Then you pull out the hose,
replace the cap on the filler tube, close the little flap⁵, and
drive off⁸. As far as the *car* is concerned, everything is 100% OK.
The only repercussions are with the filling station and your legal
liability.

¹ 1. plugin in / connect the usb to the computer
² 2. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sd1 cryptedDisk
³ 3. vgchange -ay cryptedDisk
⁴ 4. mount /dev/mapper/cryptedDisk- ...

⁵ 1. umount /dev/mapper/cryptedDisk-
⁶ 2. vgchange -an cryptedDisk
⁷ 3. cryptsetup luksClose cryptedDisk
⁸ 4. unplug

Cheers,
David.

 Bonjour Angelique
Coté sud, le soubassement plein, haut de 2, 45 mètres, relie deux travées. Dans 
la première il accueille le gisant de l' évèque Ferry de Beauvoir mort en 1472 
et transféré ici en 1489 par son neveu Adrien de Hénencourt, doyen du chapitre, 
donateur de l' ensemble, et dont le tombeau est logé dans la deuxième travée. 
Ce soubassement est surmonté d' arcatures, dont les quatre premières niches 
relatent l' histoire de saint Firmin. Le premier groupe montre l' évèque 
évangélisateur faisant son entrée dans la ville d' Amiens; la population est 
venue se masser à la porte de la cité fortifiée. Dans la scène suivante, saint 
Firmin en chaire évangélise les Amiénois, qui se pressent autour de lui plus 
nombreux encore que précédemment. La peinture en arrière-plan permet de 
reconnaitre au centre de la composition l' enorme flèche d' ardoises du beffroi 
communal. Dans le troisième tableau, la cuve destinée au baptème matérialise la 
transgression de la loi romaine qui a pour conséquence l' arrestation et la 
décollation de saint Firmin, présentée en épilogue du quatrième groupe. Là, sud 
le fond, la façade occidentale de la cathédrale est peinte telle qu' elle était 
en 1490, lorsque l' ensemble a été sculpté. L' entrecolonnement suivant décrit 
la découverte des reliques de saint Firmin par saint Sauve à la fin du vle 
siècle. Probablement exécutée en 1530 par Antoine Anquier, le sculpteur du 
gisant du commanditaire, cette parure de pierre se décompose encore en quatre 
séquences. La prédication de l' évèque est le premier sujet; suivent la 
révélation du lieu de sépulture de saint Firmin, son exhumation et enfin la 
translation de ses reliques jusqu' à la cathédrale.

Bonjour Angelique
A l' entrée du choeur se dressait autrefois le jubé édifié en 1291. Son 
démantèlement au xvllle siècle découle des mutations de la liturgie. Des 
emmarchements de marbre rouge et une grille monumentale dessinée par Michel 
Ange Slodtz ouvrent dès lors une perspective sur le sanctuaire. A proximité, on 
reste intrigué par les fonts baptismaux, témoins d' une époque ou le baptème 
était visiblement pratiqué par immersion. Sur le soubassement ont été placées 
en 1648 huit tables de marbre noir destinées à commémorer les noms de tous les 
maitres de la confrérie du Puy Notre-Dame dont l' autel est en face.
Saint Jacques le Majeur. Offerte par le chanoine Guillaume aux Cousteaux en 
1511, cette cloture polychrome est placée sur le versant ouest du bras sud du 
transept. En haut relief, elle raconte un épisode légendaire de l' histoire de 
saint Jacques le Majeur. L' apotre lutte avec le magicien Hermogène: Philetus, 
le disciple du mage, se convertit; pétrifié par son maitre, Philetus est 
délivré par le manteau de saint Jacques; saint Jacques retourne les diables 
contre Hermogène; Hermogène garrotté, délivré et pardonné.
Aux origines spirituelles de la cité. Sur quatre travées, au nord comme au sud, 
le sanctuaire est accompagné de doubles collatéraux. Les bascotés externes 
aboutissent à deux grands retables de marbre du xllle siècle primitivement

At first glance it may look odd because this address is usually reserved

addresses are usable as host addresses on a point-to-point link, there 
are neither reserved network nor directed broadcast addresses. Otherwise 
a /31 subnet would be useless, as it would contain only the reserved 
network and broadcast addresses, leaving no room for host addresses.


But are you sure the prefix length on the modem is /31 and not /30 ?
With /30, 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 would be the two host addresses in

The program generating these files for appstream has crashed on some
input and left inconsistent output files which were then synced into the
archive.  See also [1].

However only tools using this data should be affected (appstream, GNOME
Software, no idea what else).  apt should still get updated packages as
usual as only the appstream metadata is affected, but not the Packages
list or other indices.

I've seen this error occasionally and I think this happens when mirror
wasn't synced completely yet. So, give it some time and try again later.
It will be fine.

Écran tactile - Pointeur inversé

[David Pinson]

Bonjour à tous,
J'ai récupéré un PC avec écran tactile, c'est un JAO TECH.
Après d'avoir installé Debian stretch qui s'est bien passé et l'ensemble
semble fonctionner à merveille !

Mais je bute sur un cas difficile malgré les tutos et forums après
d'avoir utilisé xinput et xinput_calibrator :
Le pointeur semble être inversé au niveau de l'axe X (horizontal),
je tape à un point précis et je retrouve le pointeur exactement à
l'opposé sur l'écran.

J'ai visité les liens (entre autres) :
https://www.debian-fr.org/t/calibrage-ecran-tactile/57646
Aussi, je suis tombé sur ça: https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/evdev

Rien à faire, même si j'ai inversé les coordonnées, changé les
paramètres d'inversion...

Auriez-vous des tuyaux ?
Merci beaucoup !

Linuxement vôtre,

adsl route

[Debian EN]

Hello to all :-) I've fastweb italian adsl

2 networks interfaces:

wan 192.168.0.2/31 --> modem 192.168.0.1/31
eth0 192.168.1.0/24

everything works but:

sometimes when I reboot my server, DSL stops works

I have to call the provider and I don't know how and what, reactivates DSL

sometimes removing route and re-add routing works

route del default gw 192.168.0.1
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

sometimes no

which kind of problem can be?

thanks!
