Thanks for the hint to that bug id.

I had to set the "Date and Time Formatting" option (exists since TB

starting Thunderbird to get it working.

The date and time option for me has two choices:

Application locale: English (United States)
Regional settings locale: English (Canada)

The result for me is the same for both. It is the ISO 8601 format for 
the date, but for time the format is 12 hour plus AM/PM.


How did you manage to the ISO 8601 time format be setting the LV_TIME

The same appears to be valid for Seamonkey. Its latest version 2.49.4

To complete this: your private key is stored in an encrypted form:
this is to reduce possible damage should anyone with access to
your data to steal your private key (they'd need the passphrase for
it).

If your account is compromised, you have at least the time to
revoke your key while "they" brute-force its encryption...

You have the revocation key, don't you?

OpenSSL 1.1.1, and pretty much everything using it, is now disabling TLS 1.1
by default. That's probably what you see here, and it means that your RADIUS
server supports only deprecated TLS versions.

You can enable TLS 1.1 in your wpa_supplicant config, but the real fix is to
enable TLS 1.2 on your RADIUS server. That has been enabled by default in
freeradius in Debian since at least jessie, to give you an idea of how
outdated the setup is ;).

I am not questioning the quality of the diagnostic tool, but there can
be situations where it is technically impossible to detect a failure. For
instance, a destructive cache test can write some data to disk, flush the
cache, invalidate the cache, and then reread the data just written. But if both
cache flush and cache invalidate don't work, then this scheme will produce a
false positive result.

* Write test data to disk --> OK

* Flush on-disk cache --> Controller returns "OK" but doesn't do it.

* Invalidate the cache --> Controller again returns "OK", without doing it.
  Now, diag tool thinks the data is recorded on media and the cache is clear.
  In fact, it is not recorded and is solely on cache.

* Reread the data --> Success. Controller reads it from cache, while the diag
  tool thinks it is coming from the media.

In such a case, there is no way the diag tool can definitively test on-disk
cache.

Only sure way is power-cycling, as far as I can see.

This has nothing to do with those sites, the issue is that Firefox 52 is
not compatible with FFmpeg 4.0 (libavcodec58).  As a result, there is no
H.264 support which breaks video playback on numerous sites.

Seriously, though;
We had the same issue here a little while back.  It didn't bother me, as
I don't use FB or Spotify, but it was an issue for the rest of the
family.  I had to find a solution.  Fast.

Indeed not.  That was just a coincidence.

Some troubleshooting ideas here:

https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Speech_support

Apparently pulseaudio is a problem and either must be run as root,
removed, or disabled (in the case of Gnome where extirpation is
impossible without taking the kitchen sink, the bath water, and the baby
along with it).

Hi Brad,

Well, that worked!

I gather then, that it did not have anything to do with installation and 
uninstallation of other software after all!?


Thanks :-)

Easiest solution is (temporarily) add sid as a repo and install Ff

anything unwanted added to your system.

Hella Matthew,

There is a dedicated mailing list for Debian accessibility:

>From what you describe I would surmise that you do have sound after
install but lack accessibility features like an audio screen reader.

Sorry, I have never installed or set up a system for a blind person, so
I do not know what is really important or difficult in this process.

Here are three links that could of help:

- Accessibility in the Debian wiki:

Firefox no longer able to play videos on Facebook

2018-10-02 Thread Per Dalgas Jakobsen

Hi,

Until a few days ago, Firefox played videos on Facebook without issues, 
but now it cannot play the same videos anymore. It may coincide with me 
installing and uninstalling some Industrial Camera software (the only 
major change I remember doing in the meantime). It included make 
install, but I thought I got it cleaned up fine...


I've tried to reinstall Firefox, *codec*, *plugin*, *pepperflash* and 
some other packages, and tried to disable hw-accel in Firefox, without 
any change in luck.


I know it's hard to tell what went wrong, I'm also aware of the 
problematic deb-multimedia, but perhaps you guys can help me find out 
where to punch the system to get it to work again?



Facts:

1) A few days ago Firefox played FB videos nicely.

2) Now Firefox console says (tried a few videos):
Error: The manifest specifies content that cannot be displayed on this 
browser/platform.  5-rDEXaxCbl.js:393:371
The video on this page can’t be played. Your system may not have the 
required video codecs for: video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E", video/mp4; 
codecs="avc1.4D401E", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401F", video/mp4; 
codecs="avc1.4D401F", audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.5", video/mp4; 
codecs="avc1.42E01E mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E 
mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401F mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; 
codecs="avc1.640032 mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.640033 mp4a.40.2"


3) Youtube plays fine both before and now.

4) I downloaded the FB Video with youtube-dl and played the video 
through Nautilus on VLC and Totem without problems.


5) Fully upgraded Debian Buster/Sid - Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian

I am not familiar with seatools, but there are usually destructive and
non-destructive test suites in such tools. I hope you have run a destructive
one (which destroys data on disk) as some marginal errors can only be caught by
destructive tests.


The only destructive test I recall from SeaTools is writing zeros to the 
disk.  Of course, you don't want to do that until the data recovery 
effort is complete. And, the OP seems to be ignoring recovery and still 
trying to use the drive (!).




Is the "swap" partition something that could cause that if turned off by
"swapoff"?


I don't think so.


+1



I read above from Abdullah, that it is very unlike to have such major FS
fail, and it looks like it didn't "flush" the night I turned off. This is
also my guess, it is the only thing that make sense. Maybe the inode table
was in the memory and got corrupted. But it is strange to figure that,
since the filesystem is EXT4, and it is very stable nowadays.


I'm not sure how much isolation the various parts of the Linux kernel 
now have from each other.  In the bad old days of monolithic kernels, 
everything inside the kernel could touch everything else in the kernel. 
A buggy driver in one subsystem could wreak havoc in any other subsystem.




But the journal is passing through on-disk controller, too. If the drive is
mishandling its on-drive cache, then an FS corruption is still possible. Even
if journal writes are "direct", the drive could be ignoring that (i.e. caches
it nevertheless) without flushing it prior to power-off, corrupting the journal
as well.

If the FS survives through reboots, but falters when the laptop is power
cycled, then a cache flush issue is still probable.

Another test method might be hibernation. If resume from hibernation works,
then that rules out on-disk caching problem.

Hypotheses require experiments to confirm or refute them.


The chicken-and-egg problem is to get some solid data to start with. 
We'll see if the OP responds to my shopping list of requested commands.

I'm not sure how an on-disk cache problem could definitively be caught without
power cycling. What if on-disk controller is ignoring all cache related
commands? (cache bypass, cache invalidate, cache flush)


I must depend upon Seagate to get their firmware and their diagnostics 
right.  If their firmware were so bad as to ignore all cache related 
commands, we'd probably hear about it.



Every disk that I have seen fail the manufacturer's diagnostic has also 
exhibited bad behavior in whatever computer it occupied.



But, the contrary is not true.  When it is false (e.g. bad behavior, 
passes diagnostic), either I'm confused, some other part of the computer 
is having issues, or both.  (PEBKAC is a common root cause.)



Then again, as the OP's computer seems to be a newer model, some 
hardware could be unsupported and/or the supporting device drivers could 
be incomplete and/or buggy.  I know Intel provides reference FOSS 
drivers for their stuff; does AMD?  Without a shopping list of the key 
chips in the OP's computer, there is no way to check support status.
