Hi, Ben.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I'll be watching.


I just updated to 1.0.27-1 and my scanner still works (Brother 
MFC-L2740DW over WiFi network). Note that libsane is removed and 
replaced with libsane1. Package manager insistence on removing libsane 
is by design.

~/.mozilla isn't just for Firefox. .mozilla contains the Firefox (including
Firefox-esr) and SeaMonkey data files (.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and
.mozilla/seamonkey/profiles.ini) that enumerate the locations of the individual
profiles (which need not live in .mozilla). If you want to reset/virginize a
single profile, that particular subdirectory of .mozilla, or elsewhere if so
configured, is what needs to be deleted.

IIRC, Firefox had two versions in the Wheezy repos: one was just
Firefox; the other, Firefox-esr.  ESR is the one I was referring to.
Never installed the other.

And FWIW, I never messed much with ESR.  No plug-ins, no extensions,
default configuration, etc. Just ruled out my system as the cause of the
"slowness." It was merely the tool used to download Chrome.

I know, but did so anyway just to see if it made a difference -- It
didn't -- since there were no plug-ins or extensions, etc. installed.
ESR was installed for only one purpose: To download Google Chrome.
However, I did note that Firefox was not as slow as it was when I first
installed it in Wheezy years ago. In fact, it was quite usable.  So,
it's been "fixed."  However, I'm still sticking with Chrome as my
primary.

I used Firefox on Wheezy for years under KDE, never had problems with Firefox 
speed. If you start Firefox cold, the first window may take 2-5 seconds to load 
depending on the number of plugins one has installed, if a browsing session 
need to be restored, etc. but after that new FF windows take a fraction of a 
second to open. I think that's quite acceptable unless you are participating in

Stretch backport for libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18

[Boyan Penkov]

Hello,

At the latest sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18
is held back.  Changing sources.list from stretch to buster enables it
to update cleanly, and pulls in libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (from 2.20.3-1 to
2.20.5-1).

Is this expected behavior?

Cheers!

blogofile debian package

[rlharris]

I am thinking about blogging, using the blogofile debian package.  I am
following the tutorial in the blogofile documentation, using the
"simple_blog" example.

But the command "blogofile build" fails with the error "Cannot find
requested controller: blog".

Is this controller (as well as other components of blogofile) not in the
debian package?  The README provided by the package maintainer indicates
that the debian package is patched, and therefore is preferred over the
version at github.

Should I attempt to download missing components from github? or would
mixing those components with the debian package break the debian package?

Well, the first time I installed and loaded it under Wheezy, its start
up was so slow, I thought it had failed or was broken. (We are talking
about Firefox ESR from the Debian repo.)  But it finally sauntered onto
the screen.  Now, we aren't talking a LONG time.  Not minutes.  Just
many extra seconds.  About 2 to 3 times longer than I was accustomed
to.

To make a long story short, after some testing, I determined it
wasn't my system.  ESR was just plain slow.  Period!  Others who used
it on other variously configured systems reported the same. But that was
okay. I just used it to download Google Chrome which is my primary
browser. ESR was always intended as a back up.  Later, when Firefox
Quantum was released, I installed it for that purpose.  Fast.  On par
with Chrome. No complaints.

Such things may contribute, but nevertheless, all things being equal,
Firefox ESR was just slow with everything.  I even tested it with a
locally stored web site with and without an Internet connection.
Still slow.  Later releases showed some improvement. But compared to
Chrome or Quantum ... Well, there's no comparison.

That's good to know.  I had ~/.gimp-2.8 in buster (Gimp 2.10) and
stretch (Gimp 2.8) linked to the same configuration files, which is
why this link still existed in buster.

For the time being, I have Gimp started up like this:
$ gimp /path/to/pixel.xcf
where pixel.xcf is a 1x1 pixel image. Or it could be a bigger image
with a gray area. Wilber is hidden then, that is, as long as you do
not close that image.

Getting rid of Wilber

[Siard]

There is one annoying thing about Gimp. As long as there's no picture
open, there's a nasty creature constantly peeping at me over the edge
of the window.
It appears to be Wilber, the Gimp mascot. There is a small one in the
toolbox, but that one can be removed by setting 'toolbox-wilber' to
'no' in /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc or ~/.gimp-2.8/gimprc.

But how to get rid of the big one? The developers consider the mascot
'important' and offer no option to remove it.

Now there seem to exist themes for Gimp that offer the option to remove
the logo. For example, this one: www.gnome-look.org/p/1106530/
"Turn off Wilber Logo - small and big logo turned off by default"
But I can't find a download link??

Some people also seem to manage to make the background color equal to
the logo, so you don't see it any more. But I haven't found a theme
that offers this possibility.
By default, there are four themes in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes.
They have a gtkrc file in which the background color ("clr9") can be
changed. But then, the color of the logo changes with it, so it is
still visible.

Has anyone found a theme or any other option to remove that logo?

Hi guys,
All the time when I disconnect all kind of VPN, there is a problem with DNS
Resolving.

How are you connecting to VPN? If it's with network-manager-openvpn it
should automatically restore your DNS to a configuration prior to
connecting VPN.

With network-manager-pptp or network-manager-l2tp

Look in /etc/resolv.conf before, during and after VPN connection. After
should be restored to the state before.

After and before it's only:
nameserver 127.0.0.53

After getting the newest version it only shows me disconnected state of 
interface in gnome menu bar.


So it's done for now. This bug changed to another smaller one :-)

Solved the problem. Evidently the MATE Search Tool uses same/similar code.
Thank you.

I installed scite:  sudo apt install scite
I started scite: scite &
I clicked on the second Help option. It opened a web page.
I read through until I got to:

  Much of SciTE's behaviour can be changed by editing the properties files.
...
  There are four properties files used:
...
  User properties file called "SciTEUser.properties" on Windows
  and ".SciTEUser.properties" on GTK+

By convention, a dotfile like that will be in your $HOME.

A little later I read:

  font.monospace  Defines, with the same syntax as the style
  properties, the font name and size to be used when the Use
  Monospaced Font command is performed.

I'm typing a response in vim.

And yet they still need SMTP to send email to other businesses, be they
on a different o365 cluster, or gmail for business or still a holdout on
their own mailserver (not to mention businesses that run linux boxes and
have said boxes mailing logs and whatnot to people).

If you use pulse you can execute your program using the prefix "padsp" 
Kino still requires /dev/dsp so you would launch it using padsp kino

Works a charm. Ric

Playing with systemd timers - best practices.

[Kamil Jońca]

Recently I found that systemd has timers which can replace (and extend)
cron functionality.

My question is:
I have crontab like this:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
1 * * * *   script.sh site1
3 * * * *   script.sh site2
9 * * * *   script.sh site3
2 * * * *   script.sh site4
(... some similar entries ...)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Obvious way to migrate entries is create service template + some timers
calling this service.

But iss any smart way to make timer template and parameterise it?
