Firefox 52 (Buster) is grinding my system to a halt

[Borden Rhodes]

Since getting my new laptop and clean-installing Buster, Firefox-ESR
keeps locking my computer up so much that I usually have to hard
restart because the system is totally unresponsive. When I'm lucky, I
can drop into a TTY, kill Firefox and regain control.

According to iotop, I think the offending process is preload.js. This
is consistent with my experience that lock-ups happen more frequently
on JavaScript-heavy sites like Google and Facebook.

I'm pretty sure that these problems will go away with FF 60, but does
anyone have any suggestions on what I can do in the meantime to stop
JavaScript from overtaking my system? I already played around with
hardware acceleration to no effect, although things seem marginally
more stable with it disabled. Yes, I have disabled add-ons. Yes I did
create a new profile and cleared my caches. No effect.

Prezados Colegas,

Primeiramente saudações “pinguianas” a todos.
Estou com um problema relacionado ao postfix que está me tirando do sério.

Eu consigo entregar meus e-mails para todos os provedores, exceto para os de

Dell inspiron mini v1012

[Paynalton]

Hola a todos. Les comento que estoy intentando instalar debian en una
minilap Dell Inspiron Mini modelo v1012.

Tengo el problema que solo inicia la primera vez después de haberse
iniciado, tanto con stretch como con stretch-nonfree. Esto pasa aunque no
se haga ningún cambio, solo iniciar por primera vez, logguearse como root y
reiniciar. La instalación la estoy haciendo sin escritorio, solo consola y
sin agregar firmware adicional. Sólo debian stretch tan virgen como el
aceite de oliva.

En cualquier caso, al iniciar por segunda ocasión el inicio se queda en
RFkill y el equipo se congela.

En este momento estoy instalando de nuevo. antes de iniciar por primera vez
voy a sacar una copia de los archivos con un live. Después seguiré y sacaré
otra copia después del error para ver que es lo que ha cambiado entre el
primer y segundo arranque esperando descubrir la causa.

Have you considered a self-encrypting drive ...



I'm 99.99% sure (like Dove soap sure) that Symantec full disk
encryption doesn't work this way because I'm just as sure that none
of the Dell models I've ever worked with have this hardware
capability.



I have tested Intel 520 Series SSD's with self-encryption in two Dell
laptop models:

- They do not work in Dell Inspiron E1505's (~2007, Core Duo).

- They do work in Dell Latitude E6520's (2011~2012, Sandy Bridge).



  Right, but is the basic system unencrypted or not?  I very, very, very
highly suspect not, since it seems fairly obviously to me (given that all
the Dell hardware stuff has finished and it's handed off to whatever is on
the boot device) it's handing off to encrypted software off the hard drive
to bootstrap the rest by the time anything Symantec gets involved with.



AFAIK self-encrypting drives (SED) have hardware encryption/ decryption 
engines (ASIC's) built into the on-board microcontroller.  When the 
system boots, there is a protocol for the motherboard firmware to 
display a prompt on the console for the SED passphrase, which is then 
passed to the SED.  If the passphrase is correct, the SED then encrypts/ 
decrypts data writes/ reads transparently (e.g. the SED acts like an 
unencrypted drive).  If the passphrase is wrong, the SED will refuse to 
write/ read data, because it cannot encrypt/ decrypt without the 
passphrase.  If someone pulls the platters or memory chips out of the 
SED, puts them into a test jig, and reads the magnetic bubbles/ 
transistors, they will obtain ciphertext.  They must know the encryption 
algorithm, passphrase, and other pieces of information (nonces, etc.) to 
decrypt the ciphertext and obtain the plaintext.



Once the SED has been unlocked, the administrator can build additional 
layers of hardware and/or software encryption on top.  FreeOTFE and 
dm-crypt/LUKS are examples of software encryption.  I believe BitLocker 
is also software encryption, but allows keys to be stored in a Trusted 
Platform Module (TPM).  I am not familiar with Symantec encryption products.

bzflag is slow since nvidia-graphics-drivers 390.59-1

Hi folks,

after the upgrade of nvidia-graphics-drivers to version 390.59-1 bzflag seems
to use mesa instead of the nvidia libs. Running

dpkg-reconfigure glx-alternative-nvidia

doesn't help. Other games (e.g. tuxracer) are fine, so I wonder WTH? I haven't
found the problem yet.

Are you sure that isn't a problem at your end?  How your firewall is

I've got access to an IPV4 /29 block and did the Google DNS query from

Re: Installing Debian on a Minnowboard Turbot with installer on USB stick?

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i typo'ed:

Partition 1 needs to be delted. Number 2 is the EFI partition.

Further it comes to me that the gdisk session is best done one the
USB stick with the ISO already copied onto it. This will give gdisk
a chance to install the backup GPT at the real end of the device.

If re-usal of the nearly-GPT in the ISO yields no success, try to
let gdisk convert the MBR partition table to GPT. For that you will
have to copy again the original ISO onto USB stick, because the original
MBR partition table did not survive gdisk's previous conversion effort.


Have a nice day :)

Point 4 of that tutorial says:

  "NOTE: If your USB device is not listed in the Boot Manager list,
   confirm that it’s GPT formatted and contains a valid EFI boot
   partition."

The Debian ISOs are not recognizably GPT formatted, although they contain
nearly all the bytes of a valid GPT. Their MBR partition table is not
"protective" to indicate the presence of a GPT.

Needed would be a MBR partition table with only one partition of type 0xEE
and no other partitions, deletion of GPT partition 2 because it overlaps
with the EFI partition, and the specs compliant Type GUID for the EFI
partition.

No. A standards compliant firmware ignores any partition table when the
medium is CD, DVD, or BD. It then rather interprets the El Torito boot
record and the boot catalog to find a suitable boot image. In case of EFI
the selected image is then used as EFI System Partition with FAT filesystem
and startup program.

The Debian ISOs for amd64 mark their EFI System Partition by MBR partition
table and by El Torito.


> Can you suggest any way to get around the problem?

Repacking the ISO by grub-mkrescue would produce a GPT.
But the GRUB part of that job is out of my scope.


As said, Debian ISOs are not very far from a real GPT.

Normally i would not trust any partition editor not to go mad on the job.
But changing stuff by hand in GPT means re-computing the CPT checksum.
This would become tricky.

So lets try gdisk. Regrettably partition 1 of the nearly-GPT is ill
beyond repair (at least by gdisk's means). So it has to be deleted.
To our luck it should not be expected by any part of the booting system.

  $ cp debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso test.iso
  $ /sbin/gdisk test.iso
  GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10

  Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

  Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use?
   1 - MBR
   2 - GPT
   3 - Create blank GPT

  Your answer: 2
  Using GPT and creating fresh protective MBR.
  Warning! Main partition table overlaps the first partition by 64 blocks!
  You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility.

  OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to test.iso.
  Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
  The new table will be used at the next reboot.
  The operation has completed successfully.
  $

Now the ISO should have a GPT which marks the EFI System Partition.
Put it onto the USB stick and see what happens.

If this does not work, we could try to erase all partition tables and
set up a new one from info which we learned from the old one.

- your installer seems an alpha, I would first try with a more robust
one (Stretch)...
- Does your USB stick only fail to boot automatically or does it also
fail to boot when you select it as the boot medium in the UEFI boot
option menu?

I am sorry if I gave you the false impression that I own or have used

Jumping in with useful suggestions is *always* welcome!

Do you have a pointer to a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up a tftp server 
and provision it with the necessary files for booting the debian installer?

I’ve got a couple of dhcp servers running dnsmasq.  I seem to recall that 
dnsmasq is capable of serving tftp, but I don’t remember where I read about it.

I've kept the option to use external config file; otherwise it
uses what is known already n the script.


I've used the following for quite some time, but it usually takes too
long (for my liking) to get an answer and it doesn't use https either:

curl -s ifconfig.me

Very interesting… I’ll try a few different USB sticks and see if I can get one

Sorry to jump in, but I had a similar experience with Pi few years ago.

I see this board supports network boot - for experimenting it is the one I
usually prefer. I setup tftp/dhcp server long time ago for other projects
and just add the image I want to boot there (for Pi arm).
Advantage is I can do simple install in chroot or for arm with qemu
(debootstrap) and setup the dhcp so that the client picks this up. 
This saved a lot of time when playing with Pi.

Hola Fernando,

Gracias. Localicé este ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc donde * es un
número sensitivo definido en
 ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

Mi problema es el siguiente. Uso Ubuntu Stduio 14.04 en varios equipos y
esta versión tiene el xfce4-weather-plugin roto. Al instalar Debian Sid
compartiendo /home con Ubuntu Stduio 14.04 el xfce4-weather-plugin
empezó a funcionar también en Ubuntu y ahora quiero copiar el archivo de
configuración en otros equipos. Parece que el truco no funciona o tengo
que buscar más archivos de configuración.

I have found out that not all usb drives boot well - don't know why on some
machines some drives does not boot - same image on another drive boot.
For example sandisk 4GB do not and Kingston 1GB do on same machine with same
image

Thanks, Pascal!  

So the UEFI firmware is more forgiving of a partition table that is “invalid 
from a strict point of view” when it’s coming from a physical DVD, than it is 
when it’s coming from a USB stick?

That would explain what I’m seeing.  Can you suggest any way to get around the 
problem?

Enjoy!
Rick

Re: Installing Debian on a Minnowboard Turbot with installer on USB stick?

[Rick Thomas]

Thanks!  Yes, that confirmed what I had mostly already found by experimentation.

What it didn’t explain was why the same .iso (specifically, 
firmware-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-DVD-1.iso) when I burn it to a DVD-R and load 
the disk into a DVD drive that is plugged into the USB slot on the Turbot, will 
boot into the installer just fine… But when I dd that same .iso onto a USB 
stick, then plug the stick into the USB slot on the Turbot, will not be 
recognized as a bootable medium.

I’m puzzled…  Have you tried to boot the installer from a USB stick on a 
Turbot?  Or did you always use a physical DVD drive?  What’s the difference 
between them that causes one to boot and the other to be ignored?

Not me.


I have a dual-core, single ethernet, Turbot.  I’m able to install Debian 
(Buster) from a physical DVD, but when I dd the installer .iso to a USB stick, 
and try to install from the stick, the Turbot’s firmware doesn’t see the stick 
as a bootable medium.

If I install (using the physical DVD in a USB connected DVD drive) to a USB 
stick, that USB stick (the one I installed to) will boot fine.  So it’s not 
that it just can’t boot from a USB stick.

The documentation isn’t entirely clear, but I *think* the Turbot’s boot 
firmware is UEFI-only.  Would that make a difference?


Probably not, if the same image boots from a DVD.


It seems odd that the exact same bits should be seen as bootable when presented 
on a DVD, but not when presented on a USB stick…


No, it is perfectly normal. The expected boot structures on a DVD and a 
USB stick (or floppy, hard disk...) are completely different.
The Debian installer ISO images are called "hybrid" because they combine 
a DVD layout and a regular hard disk (or USB stick). But this comes at a 
price : the partition table layout could be considered invalid on a 
strict point of view.

 Right, but is the basic system unencrypted or not?  I very, very, very
highly suspect not, since it seems fairly obviously to me (given that all
the Dell hardware stuff has finished and it's handed off to whatever is on
the boot device) it's handing off to encrypted software off the hard drive
to bootstrap the rest by the time anything Symantec gets involved with.
