Here is my reply to another thread about migrating a crufty system drive 
to a fresh install.  I would use the same procedure for recovering your 
system drive:


https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg743408.html


If you have an image of the drive from before the disaster, replace the 
sixth step, "Do a fresh install of your chosen OS ...", with "Restore 
prior system image".



Please reply with your discoveries, progress, questions, etc..

issues with initramfs after recently updating buster

[ernst doubt]

administrivia: I'm not subscribed to debian-user (but will check the list for 
answers in any case). CCs to me are fine (even appreciated!).


Today I saw the following errors on one of the machines (an HP EliteBook 
laptop) that I upgraded today:

I saw messages similar to the Possible missing firmware lines at the end while 
upgrading a Dell Inspiron laptop (also running buster) I upgraded earlier in 
the day. Unfortunately on that other machine I didn't save the output from the 
end of 'apt-get upgrade', though I'm quite certain the end of each line 
mentioned "module amdgpu" (or perhaps "module gpuamd"?).

So I have two questions. On the HP laptop I do use cryptsetup (because it's 
older and I originally ran stretch on that machine -- only my homedir is 
encrypted (not the entire LV as is the Dell laptop, which is newer and got a 
virgin buster install recently). Is there anything I need to do in order to 
make sure that I don't lose support for cryptsetup with a new kernel on the HP 
laptop?

My 2nd question is about the missing firmware. How do I get modules i915 and
amdgpu so that my initramfs will be fully functional on these laptops (i'm fine 
with installing nonfree packages). 

If there's more information anyone needs to diagnose any of this, please feel 
free to ask.

On one laptop (the HP), when I try to run 'apt-get upgrade' again, the 
following message appears:

The following packages have been kept back:
  linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64


On the other laptop (the Dell), 'apt-get upgrade' produces output that 
indicates that only linux-image-amd64 has been kept back.

Thank you so very much in advance for any information.

And as always, thanks tons for the most excellent OS on the planet,
 ~e

google is not at all helpfull. You would think, that if they really

I do not think it is using GPT or MBR at all. It needs vfat in the beginning
of the disk, so that it can load the firmware, but not sure how the RPI4
will look like.

openssl headers missing while installing psiphon on Debian 10

[Tapas Mishra]

Hi,
I am trying to install  psiphon   on   Debian 10 based on instructions here
https://askubuntu.com/questions/637568/how-do-i-install-psiphon-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts-step-by-step

I did a $ git clone https://github.com/thispc/psiphon.git
then cd psiphon
Open README.md for instructions
did sudo apt-get install python-pip it went without errors  .
https://pastebin.com/X8HnAZry
this is how files look like did  a simple ls
https://pastebin.com/mFi85PBp

then ./configure came across error
configure: error: *** zlib.h missing - please install first or check
config.log ***
https://pastebin.com/ANGa0c7q
to get rid of above error I did
sudo apt-get install libz-dev
Then I did ./configure and found a new error

configure: error: *** OpenSSL headers missing
full message can be seen here
https://pastebin.com/9XFUYZkk
I then tried doing
debian@debian:~/psiphon/openssh-5.9p1$ sudo apt-get install openssl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
openssl is already the newest version (1.1.1c-1).
openssl set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  ethtool libdumbnet1 libmspack0 libxmlsec1-openssl zerofree
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 76 not upgraded.

So I did sudo apt autoremove and then
debian@debian:~/psiphon/openssh-5.9p1$   ./configure

checking openssl/opensslv.h usability... no
checking openssl/opensslv.h presence... no
checking for openssl/opensslv.h... no
configure: error: *** OpenSSL headers missing - please install first
or check config.log ***

so it appears openssl is installed to latest version. So now what more
should I do so that I
don't get openssl header missing error,
while installing psiphon on Debian 10.
I read this page https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation
and this page 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29858870/build-openssl-with-rpath
but could not understand what changes should I make on my system for
psiphon (https://github.com/thispc/psiphon.git)
to be installed.

That is what I am trying to boot from, a 64GB u-sd with its filestystem

gpt or mbr, I see later fdisks can do either, so I changed the disk to 
#6, did a w, and rewrote the iso using the armhf net-install file. 
Putting it in the pi4, and powering it up got me the shortest flash of 
the green led I've seen, then just the red was steady nothing else, not 
even any heat from the as yet sinkless SOC. Obviously the raspi faq is 
missing valuable u-sd card prep info.  The rpi4 came in a damned near 
empty box, not even a power hookup showing, so based on that purportedly 
matching a pi3, 5.11 volts on gpio pin 2 and ground on pin 6.

Whats next?

Not entirely.  That's the second step.  The first, is to read the
instructions.  The one thing to be aware of is you must recompile any
drivers or apps you did under Buster for the new Testing kernel,
particluarly if you are using Virtualbox.  If you've installed dkms in
Buster, it should take care of that on the first boot of Testing.

Then, once all is set sources.list-wise, apt or apt-get update and apt
full-grade or apt-get dist-upgrade.  You should use full-upgrade or
dist-upgrade for as long as Testing is testing to be sure you get
everything upgraded. Once Testing becomes Stable, the use just plain
upgrade.

First, your error messages are already giving you the answer:
apt --fix-broken install

However, there is a better way.

Try 'sudo apt install ./megasync-Debian_10.0_amd64.deb' instead.

Note: The Raspberry Pi 4B does not use the bootcode.bin file - instead the
bootloader is located in an on-board EEPROM chip. The Pi 4B bootloader
currently only supports booting from an SD card. Support for USB host mode
boot and Ethernet boot will be added by a future software update. See SPI
Boot EEPROM.

I ordered also one RPI4 few days ago, waiting for it to arrive. From my
experience with RPI2 you need to take care of the boot loader first. It is
not a simple process, but not sure how it looks like in RPI4 - I assume the
same as mentioned here:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/booteeprom.md

To test the RPI I used TFTP boot and old 256MB sd card where I put the
bootloader for network boot. It was much easier to compile and test any
software on the server.

The boot partition must be vfat and hold the firmware.

Als paisos que envolten Israel (Egipte, Jordania, Líban i Síria), que

executats. Israel no és l'únic pais de la zona que no executa homosexuals.

Every printer that exists employs lpadmin with whatever utility is
used to set it up. It is basic, whether or not the device is just a
printer or an MFP. The hplip package is a convenient software but
completely unneeded for printing.

Don't confuse printing and scanning. They are separate processes.
With an HP MFD I'd give you that the libsane-hpaio package is needed,
but the hplip package is not required.

(Actually, with a modern MFD, libsane-hpaio might not be required).

Cannot connect to HP printer

[Ken Heard]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I am presently using stretch.  I have a USB connection between the
computer and the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M475dw.  Command lsusb shows the
connection.

Command HP-setup finds the printer, but the last line says:

QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 1323, resource id:
25167914, major code: 40 (TranslateCoords), minor code: 0

The result is that I cannot print.  Also neither xsane nor vuescan
will open.

I can however connect to both the printer and xsane via the ethernet,
but not vuescan.  As I prefer vuescan and can use it via the USB I
will use USB for the printer for both printing and scanning.

Advice and help appreciated.

It is work in progress.  The repository has already been updated, and
you can upgrade to 10.1 if your mirror is up to date.  However,
producing and uploading installation media takes more time.

Subscribe to the debian-announce mailing list if you want to be informed

I'm glad to see that you have solved your problem with konqueror, and I'm

Do you have a sidebar (F9)?  If you do, how did you get it?

I asked about konqueror on 28 August in the thread "Buster:  Konqueror as 
File Manager", but haven't received any answers to my questions.  I would 
appreciate it if you could reply either here or to my original post.

Nope; that did not fix it. I had tried that before I asked here. :-) That just
affects whether it stays in memory when you quit, which isn't the same thing

Settings-Configure Konqueror-Performance-
Disable 'Always try to have one preloaded instance'
Quit
Kill all residual konqueror processes.

This is the fix I gleaned from bug reports on the internets.

But I'm late to the party, haven't perused the entire thread, the
problem's been solved to boot, and god knows what else.

Which is definitely wrong for buster-updates, this is how an InRelease
file from the security repository starts.

It's hard to tell how this happened (file system corruption perhaps),
but if you proceed with the update it should be corrected.
Run "apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change" to do so.

This is a known issue when updating for the fist time, see

[HS] Richard stallman chez microsoft !

Bonjour,

Voilà, avec sa stratégie (soi-disant) d'ouverture, Microsoft grignote
encore un peu plus le terrain ...

utilisation d'une tablette crayon electronique Watcom Intuos CTL-4100 sous Debian?

[Basile Starynkevitch]

Bonjour à tous,


Je viens de m'acheter un Watcom Intuos CTL-4100 
 
pour mon desktop Debian avec un grand écran de 34" et un autre de taille 
normale 
.



Avez vous des conseils concrets et très pratique d'utilisation?


La motivation principale de cet achat est de faciliter les échanges, 
avec un copain Indien (à Calcutta) autour du développement (sur notre 
temps perso à nous deux) de RefPerSys 
. Entre Bourg La Reine et 
Calcutta, la bande passante est trop faible (coté indien, moi j'ai la 
fibre optique pour Internet sur ours.starynkevitch.net :-) qui est mon 
desktop Debian!) pour pouvoir échanger un flux video. Et j'ai besoin de 
facilement et rapidement croquer un dessin pour l'envoyer par mél. En 
gros et pour simplifier, je fais des "cours particuliers d'informatique 
à distance" pour Abhishek, et j'ai donc besoin de crayonner des dessins 
fort souvent pour les envoyer par mél, qui est notre moyen de 
communication préféré.



J'ai réussi plus ou moins à configurer inkscape pour ce crayon. Mais il 
me faut peaufiner. Et ma fvision n'est pas excellente (à 60 ans, 
presbytie, et un oeil opéré de la cataracte)
