As I want to monitor multiple hosts I use an external monitoring system,
but if you want to store metrics locally, rrd has bindings for most
scripting languages so just use it in the one you're most comfortable
with.

If that's shell, you can just do everything with the "rrdtool" binary.
For Perl I've used https://metacpan.org/pod/RRD::Simple with no
problems; this is packaged in Debian as librrd-simple-perl. I am sure
there are options for whatever language you like.

Recently I had almost the same problem on a Thinkpad X240: when the
computer wakes up from a suspension the touchpad often does not work
anymore.

I found that removing and reinsterting psmouse module makes touchpad
working again.

sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse.

I asked in this list for a suggestion to file a bug report but I had no
response.

Hope it helps!

Hi,

Really tricky are file names containing newline characters.

Your use case might already balance on the border line where a more
straightforward programming language than bash should be considered and
a fully capable file content protocol should be defined.
(Protocol candidates would be: Shell-style quotation and line continuation,
or the good old hollerith string representation.)

Hi,

Using the leading blank from David Wright's post:

   $ test "$x".mp4 = "$fname" && echo IS EQUAL

I.e. "$x".mp4 and "$fname" are not equal.
That's because the leading blank got lost in the "echo" run:

   $ echo "'$x'"
   'long file with spaces'

Now with quotation marks around $fname to preserve the leading blank:

   $ x=`echo "$fname" | rev | cut -d. -f2 | rev`
   $ test "$x".mp4 = "$fname" && echo IS EQUAL
   IS EQUAL

A similar effect would happen with double blanks inside the name:

   $ fname="long file with  double  spaces.mp4"
   $ x=`echo $fname | rev | cut -d. -f2 | rev`
   $ echo "'$x'"

Good thought Thomas!

This also worked:

  $ fname=`echo "$fname" | rev | cut -d. -f2

Now, the actual file did not have a leading (or trailing) space --- 
which I focused on.


But IT DID have 2 adjoining spaces Within the filename.

Enclosing $fname in "", worked perfectly.


That simple thing, that I thought I was missing, I would not have 
guessed at. Two adjoining spaces. :-)

This is of course impossible in a deterministic world.
So either black magic, quantum logic, or non-identical strings are at work.
I bet on eye spoofing by blanks and maybe a proportional text font.

Help with video editing with ffmpeg

[Gerardo Ballabio]

Hello all,
I have a video that was filmed under bad lighting conditions, the
background is too bright and people in the foreground are dark. I'm
trying to use ffmpeg to correct it. Please kindly help me.

Here you can find a snippet:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aG04znyHdDio7cvgaQlovYTb8bX8NTLL?usp=sharing

video1.mts is the original file. video2.mp4 was created by a friend of
mine using proprietary software on Windows. I've been trying to
reproduce that. video3.mts is the best result I obtained (see below)
but the contrast is still too high and the colors aren't quite right.

I've tried several of ffmpeg's effects but maybe there are some better
ones that I missed?

- "eq=brightness=..." turns black into grey and gives the video a
"foggy" look, no good
- "colorlevels=..." I tried many parameter sets but couldn't do much
better, in the end I concluded that probably linear scaling isn't good
enough and I need nonlinear
- "curves=..." was indeed better but when I stretched the curve beyond
a certain point I obtained distorted colors
- I tried "geq=..." too but it doesn't seem to work, I always get an
error like this:

ffmpeg -i video1.mts -vf geq='r=r(X,Y):g=g(X,Y):b=b(X,Y)' video3.mts
[Parsed_geq_0 @ 0x55a01bb0aa60] [Eval @ 0x7ffd3d63afb0] Missing ')' or
too many args in 'r(X'
[AVFilterGraph @ 0x55a01bb09e80] Error initializing filter 'geq' with
args 'r=r(X'
Error opening filters!

These are the commands that I used to produce video3.mts:

ffmpeg -i video1.mts -vf colorlevels=romax=0.8:gomax=1.0:bomax=0.9 -b
12M temp.mts
ffmpeg -i temp.mts -vf curves=r='0/0.05 0.1/0.25 1/0.8':g='0/0.05
0.1/0.25 1/0.8':b='0/0.05 0.1/0.25 1/0.8' -b 12M video3.mts

Thanks

I had basically the same problem years ago after install Wheezy (32-bit)
-- the current Stable then -- with the Gnome GUI on an Asus Eeepc 901
netbook.  To make a long story short, I discovered a conflict between
the Power Saving software and the Gnome Screensaver.  So, I disabled
the screensaver.  Never had the problem again. Later, I made sure the
screensaver didn't load at all.  Really, you don't need it, if your
power saving is set to turn off screen.

Also, since Buster is still an Alpha, expect more glitches.

When I want to debug pulse I do

echo "autospawn = no" > ~/.pulse/client.conf

kill PA and run it from command line with -v option you can also
use --log-level (man pulseaudio)

perhaps you can see what is the problem there. If not it might be dbus issue
with permissions - check the dbus settings

Also some times it helps to remove the ~/.pulse directory and restart
pulseaudio.

Yep. But I guess we're solving Problem A, the subject line's

rather than Problem B, which wasn't revealed until the

Letting the shell parse and reparse is rarely a good idea

Bluetooth audio problem

[Mark Fletcher]

Hello

Since upgrading to Stretch shortly after it became stable, I have had to 
execute the following after a reboot before being able to connect to 
bluetooth devices using the Gnome bluetooth applet:

$ sudo pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Without that command, needed once only after each reboot, the Gnome 
applet is unable to connect to any bluetooth audio devices, eg my 
headphones to be used as an audio sink, or my iPhone to be used as an 
audio source. Once that command has been issued once, everything works 
as it should, and continues to do so until the next reboot.

I've been away for a couple of weeks and so hadn't installed updates to 
my stretch installation for something like 3 weeks, until Saturday this 
week when I installed updates. Unfortunately I didn't pay enough 
attention to exactly what was upgraded but I _believe_ I saw udev in the 
list of things getting upgraded.

Now, when I run the above command it is erroring out with:

xcb_connection_has_error() returned true
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

Googling for this has only turned up old information which does not seem 
to relate to the problem I am facing. In most cases the context is audio 
not working; in my case audio output through speakers plugged into the 
sound card is working fine, USB mic connected by a wire is working 
fine, the only problem is anything bluetooth.

Bluetooth on this machine is provided by a USB bluetooth dongle which I 
have been using for ages.

Can anyone suggest steps to diagnose?

TIA

Mark

Re: Jessie / Mips fails to downoad index

[didier gaumet]

It seems Jessie repository is reachable but Jessie security updates
repository is not. That would be logical since Jessie for the Mips
architecture is EOL.

There are no more security updates for your architecture so you only
need to comment out the security updates in the /etc/apt/sources.list
file in order to avoid the previous error message.

Even if Jessie updates (not security updates) is reachable, there are no
more updates. So apt-get upgrade won't upgrade anything.

And probably when Buster is released, Jessie repositories will be
transfered to  http://archive.debian.org

Keyboard and touchpad not working after waking up from a suspension

[ksqsf]

Hi all,

Recently, I upgraded to Debian Buster (since it's going to release
soon), and generally it's an enjoyable experience. However, from time
to time, my laptop's keyboard and touchpad won't work after waking up
from suspension (open the lip). It's embarassing that I can't do any
work in front of others.

I've tried xinput to enable and disable input devices, but no luck.
Next, I tried `cat /dev/input/eventX`, `cat /dev/input/mouseX`, and
there is output when I tap the touchpad, or press some keys, which
implies that the drivers are working correctly.

I have absolutely zero experience in debugging such a problem, so I
have to turn to the mailing list for help. Could someone please suggest
me a direction for finding the root cause and a fix? Thank you!

S/MIME format is for X.509 certificates signed by certificate

This is unrelated to your "visible" highlighting conundrum but while
searching an answer for Bailey, which I withheld due to his lousy
attitude, I stumbled upon 'aptly', a tool for managing Debian package
repositories, which I believe you expressed an interest in doing some
moons ago.

I don't recall this soft being mentioned during that or those threads;
maybe it was, though, and you've already heard of it.

Out.

Hi there,

Since sensord was removed I would like to ask what do you use to log 
sensors readings to rrd database.

Re: Jessie / Mips fails to downoad index

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi Georgi,

It indeed seems to, however the InRelease-File does not contain the
mips-binary sections anymore.
This is what apt complains abount:

Fetched 500 kB in 1min 49s (4573 B/s)
W: Failed to fetch
http://security.debian.org/dists/jessie/updates/InRelease  Unable to
find expected entry 'main/binary-mips/Packages' in Release file (Wrong
sources.list entry or malformed file)

I guess the reason is that mips is not part of the architectures which
are receiving LTS updates.

However wouldn't it be possible to install / update to the most recent
packages available for jessie/mipsel?

Thank you in advance, Clemens

Re: Failed to sign email. Thunderbird or enigmail bug?

[Georgios]

Thanks for your reply.

After i send my email to the list I found a forum discussion that led
nowhere.  I solved my problem by changing enigmail settings.
I changed  "prefer s/mime" to "prefer enigmail(openpgp)"

Re: Failed to sign email. Thunderbird or enigmail bug?

[Georgios]

I found a discussion in a forum that led nowhere. I "solve" the problem
by changing my settings by choosing "prefer enigmail(openpgp)" vs
"prefer s/mime".
