Bonjour

retour d'expérience, j'ai un SSD avec tout dessus, sous Debian depuis 4

Bref, pour un usage de PC domestique un ssd devrait tenir des années, même
en usage intensif (ou pas, car ça reste faillible => sauvegardes

D'accord avec vous deux. Je crois savoir qu'il est important de monter 
le SSD avec l'option discard qui n'est pas active par défaut. Par 
exemple mon /etc/fstab contient

UUID=371a29d9-f803-4f12-a113-f3592a60a9ea /   ext4 
errors=remount-ro,discard 0   1


et /dev/sda est un SSD, et j'ai du rajouter le discard à la main.

Cette option fait que le pilote prévient le SSD, par la technologie TRIM 
(cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing) ...) des secteurs 
libérés.


Par contre, j'ai entendu dire que, contrairement aux disques rotatifs 
mécaniques, un SSD tombe totalement en panne tout d'un coup. Alors qu'un 
disque mécanique donne souvent des signes de faiblesses avant la panne 
totale. Conséquemment, je sauvegarde automatiquement par un crontab 
toutes les données importantes vers un disque rotatatif.


Et ma partition de swap n'est pas sur SSD.

Those other than gb250L04.txt were examples of the realities reported by the 
logging processes,
while gb250L04.txt is one of the log remainders kept that comprise my actual 
inventory. That
directory is not my actual inventory.

Most of mine have but one. With three exceptions, those with more than one have 
more than one
because of RAID.

Two of mine have more than 50, several more than 40, most between 12 and 30.

What's missing in what I keep is freespace available on filesystems, which I 
don't try to keep
track of, but the tool I use probably could include that as well. Unpartitioned 
space is as obvious
as partition sizes.

  PIDs are assigned when a new process is started, 
the range is between 0 and 32K with 0 and 1 being 
used by systemd or whatever init you are using.

  top is an interesting command to use along with
ps.

Maybe some non-standard utility will fulfill your needs? Try installing
"inxi" and type:
$ inxi -DRoplu

It has many options and also different output settings.

And 6 is only in 64 bit format?  Nope, found x86 version. 6.1.4  Works 
some better, but scaleing and location of text marking signals is still 
way out of position with the line drawn gfx.

Someplace, there is a register or terminal to convert it from 10 volt to 
5 volt, but I can't find it.  Time to find a mesa spinx1 and insert it 
into the signal path I guess. Makes a 0-10 volt analog signal out of the 
average of the pwm.
 
My control runs at 98% PWM when I ask it for 24 thousand rpms, which is 
exactly correct. but feed that as a 0-5 volt signal, it only runs at 
about 5400 rpms, or nominally 24% of what its told. The spinx1 will need 
5 wires in the cable.  More fun and games...

I had never tracked down what "ps" is. It's a snapshot of running
processes. Process snapshot. ps.

Found this in "man ps"

$ ps -q 1136 -o comm=

MUCH NICER. It presents this instead of all that excess feedback from "ps aux":

$ ps -q 1136 -o comm=
wicd-client

MUCH NICER. Much cleaner, much easier to grasp that particular
information when needed.

This is coming from someone who was naive about this a half hour ago.
I knew UUID and UID were about identification so I searched "what is
pid identification linux".

Landed information that it's about "process identification"... so I
gave "ps aux" a shot by letting it run wide open. I wanted to see if
"ps" labels the columns. It does. Second column = PID.

The numbers there change CONSTANTLY depending on how we open and close
everything we do. That's another of those Life lessons learned on the
fly because things like PysolFC, Firefox, and Xfce4-terminal all
change for me constantly during each session. You always have to track
down that new number during those times you might have to do things
like... "kill". :D

The reason I'm saying that is because something else likely now bears
the numbers you shared.  It's further no shock that you couldn't find
an exact match online because that is VERY specific to your usage. If
you reboot after reading this. something else yet again possibly will
be represented by those same two figures *IF* they even appear at all.

So... maybe see if you can identify which two processes go by whatever
numbers appear for the newest lines to see if those packages are still
running. You *possibly* can do that very quickly by placing your
newest numbers where I used "1136" in my example for terminal command
"ps aux | grep 1136":

$ ps aux | grep 1136
candyca+  1136  0.0  0.4 297668  4684 ?Sl   Jan24   2:13
/usr/bin/python -O /usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py --tray
candyca+ 25753  0.0  0.0   6384   796 pts/1S+   15:13   0:00 grep 1136

Maybe, anyway. This is totally by the seat of my britches because no
one else had had a chance to answer yet. I'm bold in posting it
because it's actually working in a comprehensible way with my setup
here just this second. :)

That "reception only permitted for main" that you're seeing tells me
something's trying to share a message, sometimes simply an advisement
but also possibly a warning or error, in a way that it's not allowed
to do, but I'm not sure how *to attempt* to work through that without
knowing exactly what's involved.

My still naive reading of what you're seeing is that "PID 31376" is
trying to communicate with, hopefully just advise "inetd.service", but
whatever "PID 31376" is sending is only permitted to be used/accessed
by "PID 10222".

OR NOT, but that would be my first a-sumption if this had been found
on my machine. :)

As an aside, I sent "ps aux" to a text file to easily view that first
column. The file's only 165 lines long yet the PID column's last
sequentially numbered entry at that second was "28909". That makes me
curious as to how those are assigned. Were there that many processes
that opened then closed when finished, or are there classes of PIDs
that things fall into, or. :)

Apt Database

[J.Arun Mani]

Hello,
Im developing a small graphical-application (based on Python) which helps in 
user installing a software using Apt.
I have been able to use Apt in Python using Subprocess module.

But the problem is, whenever we are installing or doing any activity, we would 
like to see its progress. So I want to set up a progress bar showing how much 
download has been completed. How can I do it? If it was simply downloading file 
from a link, we could do this by setting up chunk size, but Apt offers no such 
choice.

Or simply Im confused how to set up a progress bar whenever Apt downloads 
something. Do you have any solution?

Next question is regarding Database. Apt stores everything in a database, is 
there any "technical" way to access it?
Example- If I give this command-
$ apt recommends python
I get output something like this-
"Apt found the following packages as recommended:
XXX
YYY
ZZZ
You can install them by the following command-
apt install XXX YYY ZZZ
"
But I don't want such chatterbox replies. I want a specific fruitful reply
Like, it can give something like this;
"
{package:python, recommends:XXX, YYY, ZZZ}
"
This would be more useful and less buggy for coding in applications. Is there 
any way of getting something liks that? If not, then graphical packs like 
Synaptic are able to do it??

I KINDLY REQUEST FOR YOUR HELP AND HOPE MY QUESTIONS ARE CLEAR.

Thank You

I've gone the (open, not enclosed) external hard drive route. It's
what I'm using right now. It's a ~4-year-old single bay dock that
handles one 3TB WD fine but mounts and unmounts ENDLESSLY when another
of the exact same make/model is inserted.

The other hard drive feels like it's "swaying" this dock so the hard
drive must keep unseating itself or something. It was my
Life-on-the-fly ah-ha moment about why some of these things are rated
for no more than 2TB. Must be all about the physics of the (totally
cool) momentum going on inside those hard drive cases

Docks and similar are "hinky" at best. They have unreliable stability
regardless of the brand k/t one's environment's effect on that
external USB connection. In my case, it's a mix of my klutziness and
my dogs always clamoring around right next to me here as I type.

Brand-wise, I've used 3 hard drives mentioned here: HGST, Seagate, and
WD. All three have worked AMAZINGLY under the ongoing duress of
_extreme_ temperature _extremes_.

KNOCK ON WOOD, not one has ever had a hardware failure that was not
Human inflicted. ALL have been bottom dollar refurbished products.

Thanks to being a poverty level techie, my backup picks to date have
been about using a mix of docks and those $10 to $15 wired
contraptions that offer you the ability to dip back into your old PATA
hard drives. On a whim last year, I purchased one of those
contraptions for no reason. It became a $4.52 Lifesaver a few weeks
later.

I was able to use that contraption to yank a *PATA* hard drive from an
approximate 2002 Hewlett Packard laptop, install some Puppy Linux
friendly files, and get back to accessing the Net via (GACK!)
hsfmodem. Until that moment, "that other operating system" had been my
modem provider for years, but it finally met the match of someone able
to crack/hack into it and bring it to its knees.

All Linux now, baby, specifically thanks to that $4.52 spent on one of
the flakiest backup options possibly available

 BUT on the flipside, I have a heartbreaking, Life changing data loss
story related to that same kind of contraption six years ago. Moral of
the story for the archives: ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES, not daily use, but
it doesn't hurt to have one or two laying around just because they're
that cheap. Oh, and they DO actually work. :)

Turns out the contraption I bought is deemed a/an "HDD cable
converter". I call it girl's best friend forever:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIABR04YT8223

That was bought while researching going the server route. I don't
fully understand RAID (yet?), but I do keep hearing about problems
with users losing data when something inevitably crashes.

Those same data losses occur regularly with USB connections. I
mitigate by consciously, regularly unmounting then remounting
partitions like my massive photography backups after new data has been
included. May be a false sense of security, but I haven't noticed any
important data loss ever since pursuing that route toward data
protection.

A server type setup could be better (less flakily) hardwired than USB.
That's my interest in it. Prices are *almost* attainable at literally
abject poverty level so surely they're accessible to anyone anywhere
outside that demographic.

Even if a final server choice's hardwire connector is something not
available on a favored laptop or "pad" whoosie-what's-it, there seems
to be no end to the type of 99 cent adapters available to work around
that setback. That CHOICE can open up its own can of worms with
respect to flaky connections that inevitably lead to data loss, but
anyway. :)

PS I was just looking at that converter listing one more time before
sending this off. $4.52 a while back, and there they claim "No limit
on hard drive capacity".

That's going to at least in part be about that sway

As far as the user is concerned, isn't that what sockets are for?
I assume it would be pointless for the kernel to expose an actual
stream of bytes to anything but itself.

systemd-journald failed to open runtime journal

[Liam Morland]

Hello,

Recently, I have been getting floaded with console messages like this:

systemd-journald failed to open runtime journal: cannot allocate memory

Rebooting puts a stop to it for a few hours. Even when the messages are 
coming up, /proc/meminfo does not appear to show a lack of memory.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

"Got notification..." message

[Pierre Frenkiel]

hi,
I just discovred today that I have every day, in syslog, more than 10
lines of message like:

 inetd.service: Got notification message from PID 31376, but reception
 only permitted for main PID 10222

(I didn't find any useful answer from Google)
I'm not aware of any not working program, but it's rather frustating, in
addition that syslog is unusually very big, every day.

If you want a lot more information than is there, one method is:

but it will need parsing before you can can dump any of it in a

Probably. When you write "partition", you actually mean "filesystem".
These are two distinct things. A partition is just a raw block device 
which does not know what is is used for. A filesystem is a data structure.


I'm explicitly wish the information Gparted displays for each partition 
of a physical device.


The column titles are "Partition", "File System", "Label", "Size", 
"Used", "Unused", and "Flags".


I need all but the last as text.

being mounted or not.


Yes it does. I have seen it display wrong size information about

If the partition contains a

requires tools specific to the data structure type.

In an init file? Is the s.*d word going to do init files forever?

Not really, but LibreOffice 6 is significantly better than the 5

At the command line using "lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL /dev/sdb" gives most of

J'ai aussi ce message dans les premières lignes: il me semble que cela concerne

Je me demande si ce n'est pas un problème de timing.

J'ai déjà eu ce problème et la seule méthode que j'ai trouvé est empirique , 
filmer avec un smartphone l'écran et repassé au ralenti les messages.

Hmm, from the peanut gallery (and, at this time in the morning, pretty much

Message FAILED au boot

[ajh-valmer]

Bonjour,

Au boot de Stretch, juste après le boot de Grub,
en 1ère ligne, j'ai un FAILED, en rouge et majuscules.
Impossible de lire l'info, ça va trop vite.

J'ai tenté :
dmesg | grep FAILED
cat /var/log/messages | grep FAILED
cat /var/log/boot | grep FAILED
réponse vide.

Comment prendre connaissance de ce FAILED ?

Merci.

Buster, computer with MAC identified Ethernet ports

Is there a way to relabel Ethernet ports? Without changing things in a
number of config files?


Short answare : no.


I'm gently moving to a new ISP, and I'm trying to set up new, virtual IP
addresses on my Enet ports. Webmin tells me that enp0s31f6 is too long.


Then Webmin is broken. It should accept any interface name that the 
kernel accepts.



I could do it in /etc/network/interfaces, but Webmin does all that quite
painlessly. Without typos.


Not so painlessly, according to the above, if it forces you to change 
interface names.



I'd like to replace the /dev/random names with something understandable
to a mortal.


enp0s31f6 is not random at all, rather the opposite ; it is a 
(supposedly) predictable naming scheme based on the hardware topology :


en = ethernet (wl would stand for wireless)
p0 = PCI bus 0
s31 = slot 31 (no physical slot if embedded on the motherboard)
f6 = function 6 in the device

I wrote "supposedly" because, unfortunately, on some motherboards it has 
been reported that PCI bus or slot numbers may change when another PCI 
device is added or removed.



I was thinking of creating an alias in /dev pointing eth0 at enp0s31f6.


Network interfaces are not character nor block devices and do not have 
nodes in /dev.


Reverting to the "natural" kernel names has issues : interface names may 
not be persistent and change across reboots. More details following the 
link provided by Alexander.

policykit polkit me crée des soucis

[MERLIN Philippe]

Bonjour,
Je suis en Sid Kde AMD64 et j'ai des soucis avec l'authentification du mot de 
passe de root avec polkit.
Je prends un exemple qui montre le problème,  je suis  un utilisateur sans 
privilège et je veux utiliser l'application gparted il me demande le mot de 
passe de root que je lui donne mais il n'est pas reconnu. Pourquoi ? 
A l'avance je réponds le mot de passe est correct et il marche très bien si 
j'ouvre une fenêtre Konsole et je tape su -.
Ce problème apparaît dans d'autres cas et même punition.
En examinant j'ai remarqué que le répertoire /etc/polkit-1/localauthority 
n'est accessible que par root pas de droits de lecture par groupe ou Autres es 
ce normal.
J'ai cherché sur Google mais je n'ai pas trouvé la solution ni un post parlant

Re: Debian em Blade com storage

[Helio Loureiro]

Use openstack ou kubernetes se for possível trabalhar só com containers.

OpenStack tem suporte à containers também mas nunca testei.  Dá trabalho
instalar e configurar mas o resultado compensa.

Promox é coisa pequena.  Serve pra solução caseira.

I recommend you to read through this article to understand rationale
behind changes "that dreaded, terrible and complicated systemd" has
implemented. [1]
I'm sure you will understand that there is a possibility "net.ifnames=0"
approach will come back some time later to bite you.
If you have several interfaces and their names will be randomly changed
at some point, you will end up at least with non functional interfaces
and\or iptables rules.
So I advise you to use more robust, manageable and simple link-file
approach and use your personal naming scheme. [2]

Well, I hope it will not be the last one for you :)
Read the upgrade notes from Debian - saved me many troubles and I know
people have problems with multimedia, but I think it is possible to solve
them easily if you are experienced.
