Cannot open Trash?

[kaye n]

Hello Friends!

My system:
Host: laptop
Kernel: 4.19.0-6-amd64 x86_64
bits: 64
Desktop: Xfce 4.12.4
Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

There is a Trash icon on the desktop screen.  If I double-click it to open
it so I can view its contents, I get a dialogue box with the title,

*Handler Not Found*
The message of the dialogue box  is:


*No network handler is configured for this URL, or no mount command is
set.  Add a handler in Devices|Settings|Protocol Handlers.*
I'm too ignorant right now to figure it out.  I would appreciate it if
anyone could give a step by step instruction.

Thank you very much!

We're all human.  Mistakes happen.  Not a problem.

Okay, substituting 9100 as the port number, the contents of
/etc/nsswitch.conf were printed.

Given the above, probably not necessary, but output lists a number of
open ports and the services used, including port 9100.

It's inconvenient, but as this situation doesn't affect anybody else
here (I've pinned hplip on the only other computer that would be
affected) I can work around it.

Buster Live DVD Gnome Issues

[Kenneth Parker]

About a couple hours back, I downloaded "debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-gnome.iso
from the Debian site.  I then used Brasero (3.12.2-5) to burn it to a Sony
DVD-R.  In other words, I wanted a Live-DVD of, what I created on a Laptop
through the Net Install method, in the last few days.  The Laptop, which is
a "surprise Success Story" for Buster Debian Gnome is one I've posted about
many times:  Lenovo Ideapad 320.  (None of the crashes or hangs, that I
encountered with, XFCE, for example).

So, to "Share the Wealth", I figured that I would create a Live DVD of
this, up to date Buster system.  Long of short, it wouldn't Boot on an HP
Pavilion Tower (probably a UEFI issue), but it DOES boot the Lenovo Ideapad
that created it.  It takes its time, and eventually comes up with the Gnome
Screen with "Activities" at the top left.

Question 1:  Can you do "Non-Free Firmware on a USB Stick", while this DVD
is booting up?

Thanks!

Re: éclairages sur partage réseau vis debian via un smartphone.

[Pierre Malard]

Bonjour,

Cette fonctionnalité de partage d'interface IP, IP forwarding, est invalidée
par défaut sur la plupart des OS pour des questions de sécurité. La
possibilité de l’activer existe effectivement sur les 2 bases principales
de smartphone au moins.
Par contre, il faut également savoir que cela réclame également l’accord du
fournisseur d’accès choisi souvent (p.e. Orange). Cela peut être la simple
activation de cette option dans son abonnement et dépend du type
d’abonnement qu’on a.

Not a real answer to your question, but you could build an install 
Blu-ray with the jigdo-tool.

https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

The current first one (buster) you can create is 21 GB in size.
There are 4 Blu-rays in total.
You need a writer/reader for those disks of course, 
not sure if dd to an USB flash drive works with the Blu-ray iso-file.
I use a special USB flash drive which supports booting from iso-files,
the IODD mini (I did just a test, the debian install Blu-ray iso-file
boots fine)

Hope this helps

No its not. If the disk is asked for data from such and such a sector in 
order to issue a stop command to a machine, IMO it has its seek time + 1 
revolution to get that data under a head and read. If its spun down then 
it will have to also spin the drive up which may take 2 or 3 seconds.  
That IMNSHO is a huge error that in some scenarios, could get somebody 
maimed or killed.

So we'll have to agree to disagree.

Module mod_ctrls manquant pour ProFTPd sur Debian Buster ?

[G2PC]

Le module mod_ctrls est manquant dans la version 1.3.6 de ProFTPd.
Ce module de peut s'obtenir que par compilation de ProFTPd.

Ce module est contenu dans les fichiers mod_ctrls.c et mod_ctrls.h pour
ProFTPD 1.2 et n'est pas compilé par défaut.
Il ne semble également pas compilé par défaut pour ma version actuelle
1.3.6 de ProFTPD installée sur Debian Buster 10.

Dans le module mod_ctrls il y a l'option controlsocket.
Cela pourrait correspond à un bogue que je rencontre :

sudo proftpd --configtest
Checking syntax of configuration file
*mod_ctrls/0.9.5: error: unable to bind to local socket: Address already
in use*
processing configuration directory '/etc/proftpd/conf.d/'
Syntax check complete.

Le problème pourrait avoir été résolu dans la nouvelle version de ProFTPd
Pourtant, il est dit plus haut que le module n'est pas compilé par défaut.

1- Est ce que oui ou non Debian me permet d'avoir ce module de compilé,
en utilisant le paquet proftpd-basic ?
2- Suis je obligé de passer par les sources officielles de proftpd pour
avoir une compilation complète ?
3- Est ce que le paquet proftpd-basic proposé dans la version de Debian
Buster pourrait être patché manuellement, pour ajouter la prise en
compte du module manquant ?
C'est peut être autrement plus complexe ?

*mod_ctrls est manquant*.
mod_ctrls_admin est présent ( faire une recherche sur cette page, vous
trouverez la correspondance ci-dessous.

Mon idée première serrait de savoir si il est possible de coller un
scotch mouillé dans le paquet .deb de debian pour obtenir ce module.
Si ce n'est pas possible, cela m'obligera à passer par les sources
officielles de ProFTPd ou d'attendre la mise à niveau de ProFTPd sur
Debian, et, que le module mod_ctrls soit compilé.

La commande proftpd -V m'indique que l'installation qui est effectuée
est la suivante :

Nginx with PHP 7.4 on Debian Stretch

[Guillermo Céspedes Tabárez]

Hola !!

Quiero compartir un proyecto que estoy realizando sobre Debian Stretch. Se
trata de la construcción de una plataforma web con nginx y php, el nuclo
del proyecto es un script de compilación y como resultado se obtiene una
distribución por medio de Packer.io (de momento solo Docker a modo de
ejemplo).

Se intenta con mucho esfuerzo mantener actualizado el código fuente de cada
software, en alerta de versiones y parches liberados y probado diariamente
por Travis-CI

Esto esta pensado para distribuir una imagen de sistema operativo con el
software del servidor web sobre una arquitectura donde actualizar una
instancia, sea partir de una instancia nueva (en paralelo a la actual en
función) cargar la imagen de la plataforma, probar el software y
redirecionar el trafico a la instancia nueva y actualizada, luego eliminar
la instancia anterior.

Espero quede claro el concepto. Cualquier duda, aporte es bienvenido.

mtkaalund.dk: Increase the number of visitors

[Mike Russell]

Hi mtkaalund.dk*,*

I noticed something interesting while going through your website,
mtkaalund.dk  *.*

It's apparent that you have used Adwords marketing to promote your business
in the past; however your website does see some organic search traffic here
and there. Now, I believe I can help increase that portion of organic
traffic significantly, at mtkaalund.dk  *.*

I believe you would like to come top on searches for keywords related to:
mtkaalund.dk  ... I found a number of SEO issues such as broken links, page
speed issue, HTML validation errors, images with no ALT text on your
website, that's stopping you from getting that traffic.

How about I fix those, and also promote you through engaging content on
relevant places on the web (read, social media).

I guarantee you will see a drastic change in your search ranking and
traffic once these issues are fixed. Also, this is one time, so no paying
Adwords every month.

Is this something you are interested in?

I also prepared a* Free Website Audit Report* for your website. If you are
*Interested* i can show you the report.

I'd be happy to send you our package, pricing and past work details, if
you'd like to assess our work.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Would that not be logged as an access error, followed by a reset/restart 
in the logs?  At the very minimum it should be logged so that the user 
can know the drive is doing that.

The other item that would look identical in the logs is a hot red sata 
drive cable that is failing, which a hot red cable will do, often before 
5 years has elapsed. That particular dye has been known to be a problem 
child since CB radios were imported from the J.A.Pan Company in the 
early 1970's.

The red wire in the microphone cables was always the first to fail.  You 
could pour the copper out of the cut off end of the red wire as a rust 
colored powder.  No matter how much of it you cut off looking for good 
copper to resolder a good connection.  That same plastic dye is still 
destroying hot red sata drive cables. Test by moving the middle of the 
cable while the machine is running with a tail on the log.  If the log 
blows up, replace that cable, preferably with a different color.

In any event I would be watching such a disk with an eye toward 
warrantying it before the warranty expires if a smartctl command to 
disable that "feature" is not available or effective at stopping such 
drive killing non-sense. I understand that W.D. Greens do that so have 
never considered them for purchase.

Do I miss-understand their advertising?

I agree with the suggestion to try the DVD.   Seems the 'netinstall' is

My fault entirely. The port number is 9100, not 631. I always make a
slip up along the way with things like this :). I am assuming the device
has an open port 9100; most HP printers do. You can check with

  nmap YOUR_PRINTER'S_IP_ADDRESS

Port 631 is for IPP and a protocol exchange is expected. netcat doesn't
use any protocols, apart from tcp/ip. It simply shovels the data over
the wire and hopes for the best. No wonder Margarita was confused.

It wasn't involved here but its best to keep it about for now, if it

When you say offline, do you just mean that you're not selecting a
mirror? Or do you mean that you're not connected to the Internet at all?
I could see that it might decide not to bother with networking software
if there's no network - but I haven't done a CD-only installation in
years; I normally use netinst.

And when you say it's remote - do you mean you're connecting to it
remotely somehow, or just that it's a long way from the rest of the
world, but you're still sitting in front of it?

Re: éclairages sur partage réseau vis debian via un smartphone.

Bonjour,

Sur un smartphone tu ne peux pas utiliser la connexion wifi et les données
mobiles en même temps. Exemple: tu utilise le wifi du téléphone en
connectant le smartphone a ton réseau wifi ou sinon tu utilises les données
mobiles, a savoir la 4G par exemple, mais pas les deux actifs en même
temps. Si ton but était de partager la Wifi de ton réseau domestique pour
connecter ton serveur en passant par le smartphone en tant que passerelle
(le téléphone étant connecter a ton réseau wifi) il me semble que c'est
impossible

You will have, or can obtain, an out.dat file. This file is a printer-ready
file. What cupsfilter has produced is no different from what is produced
when you have printed (or failed to print) previously. We will send it
directly to the printer.

nc YOUR_PRINTER'S_IP_ADDRESS 631 < out.dat

nc (netcat) should be on your system.

The printer is connected via an ethernet cable to a switch, which is in

What I am probing is not at all central to your issue, but it is useful
to know and may give you another way of printing.

Four filters are started - texttopdf, pdftopdf, gstoraster and hpcups.
All complete successfully. The filtering system has done what it is
designed to do. The implication is that the transport system to the
printer or the printer itself is at fault. But the printer is known to
print!

Would you confirm (or otherwise) that the computer you are printing from
is USB-connected to the printer?

I remember seeing AND possibly sharing here on Debian-User about a
BIOS setting that let the User decide whether to let disks like that
make that decision on their own..

SOMETHING like that, anyway.. My Dell PC power supply started working
again.. and then finally fritzed for good so I can't go in to check
exactly what it said. I THINK that's the computer that had that
CHOICE.. Dell XPS 420 grin.

Not my case. They all have the same usbID (0e8d:7612) and I physically

Ah ok, it was the "Geode LX" in the log that got me worried.

Sounds irrelevant here, so just for others stumbling upon this: 
Compiling the kernel yourself ensures that the _kernel_ supports the 
baseline you manage to configure/patch it to support, but the rest of 
system (likely including wifi, although not the kernel modules) may 
still have a different baseline (unless you recompile everything, but 
then please don't call it Debian).

obviously because of the error below no interface is being
created/registered. You'll need to sort out this error first.

We understood what your platform is but nothing about the kernel.

As I am using a Geode GX2, I can simply recommend compiling the kernel with
all features you need incl. those drivers you need.

The way you could be sure you got what you wanted and could also debug.

It tells me only that it breaks trying to allocate memory, which means to me
it could be you have low amount of memory or there is a bug in the driver.

As I do not know what kernel it is and where you got the driver from, I can
not tell anything.

This.

I updated two desktops last week from spinning rust to SSDs, including
this machine, and the speed increase, lack of noise, much lower heat
inside the case, and now much lower price point makes the upgrade a no
brainer.

I like rsync for this.  In the olde days I often updated over the LAN to
copy data from a laptop to a desktop and back to the laptop's new drive.
Years ago I bought a 500 GB USB drive that saved that step.  As rsync
gives compression with the '-z' option, doing so over the network was
tolerable.

I had to do a bit more dancing on this machine where I use secure boot
with UEFI.  I followed the steps from:

https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall 

including putting the suggested Refind image on a thumb drive and
booting to it after disabling secure boot but via EFI.  That was easy,
the next day I updated the BIOS which erased all of the user keys so I
had to do those steps over and ensure the Grub key was in NVRAM along
with the key I use to sign the Virtualbox kernel modules.

It was a learning experience!

Some do, some don't. Drives sold as "laptop" or "green" drives
are more likely to do so by themselves.

There used to be (still?) a set of Western Digital drives that
would go into a hard sleep and park their heads repeatedly. This 
tended to cause a shortened lifespan as well as terrible
performance.

I wouldn't count on that, for two reasons:

   * everything mechanical wears, and eventually wears out (well, maybe not if 
the bearings are a magnetic suspension type) (no moving parts in contact)

   * I suspect most of us don't know whether our disks are spinning 24/7 --

Not sure, but it looks like your CPU is one of those no longer supported 
by Debian.

If true, then depending on exactly how it no longer fits it might lead 
to _sometimes_ working but not always, and it might be that the wireless 
driver hits one of those areas not working?

The output is from the DNS-SD broadcasts made by a CUPS server. This
isn't quite what I meant by having the printer on the network. I assume
the printer is USB-connected to the server. Strictly speaking, it is the
server that is on the network, not the printer.

For a useful output, wireless would have to activated on the printer and
it would have to connect to a wireless access point.

This tells you the server is not a scanning device! T'would be surprising
if it was.

If there might be any problem with readability on source disc sectors,
then 'ddrescue' is far superior to plain old 'dd'.

Be aware that there is more than one version of ddrescue, and I've
seen at least one version which was less than reliable.  From personal
experience the version packaged by Debian seems to be a good version.

When you routinely ignore recommendations from those developing your 
system, then I find it all too likely that your system is too broken in 
too many surprising ways.

Feel free to insist that ignoring recommendations works fine for you 
(others before you have insisted on that), just please mention 
explicitly that practice of yours when seeking help, so that those 
believing in the sanity of following recommendations can avoid getting 
frustrated figuring out which not-broken-by-another-definition breakage 
might have caused your issue.


> Should I still go ahead and file a report?

I don't know.

Good luck with your system.

It's useful in that it shows a fully functioning filtering system for
3.19.12, but a log for 3.20.2 is what is really required.

Results in no output.  However, about 1 second passes before the command
prompt reappears, so something occurs.

I'll reiterate that currently, the working (v3.19.12) hplip is

Thanks.

With the 6700 on the network provide what you get for

  avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp

and

  avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp

avahi-browse is in the avahi-utils package.

Yes, this is generally how I'd proceed. rsync existing filesystem onto

bootloader on the new disk, and then run update-grub. There are other 
approaches to setting up the bootloader as well. It's best to do all 
this in single user mode to avoid files changing while you're copying. 
Then you'll want to change the bios settings to boot off the ssd first 
rather than the hard drives.

Offline install from CD - not allowed to install SSH server

[Cichas]

Hello guys,

sorry if this is documented somewhere but today I decided to ask here as it
is something fundamental I cannot understand. After 20 years I decided to 
try Debian again (as VM for start). I am installing it from debian-10.3.0-
amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso. As it is in remote location with problematic Internet
access I wanted to do offline install. After several attempts I figured out
that it is not possible to install SSH server from "Install" menu (text 
mode) if I will do it as offline install without allowing to use mirror. 
Which makes no sense. If I have Internet access then I can do easy apt-get
update && apt install openssh-server so no need to install it from install
menu. But when I have no Internet then I will end with machine without any
remote access and no easy way to fix that. I have checked the ISO image and
SSH server should be on it (/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server_7.9p1-10+deb
10u2_amd64.deb) so that's also not reason why it is not offered to install
it without allowing mirror.




Software selection screens:

Offline (not selecting the mirror): https://paste.pics/207074a621d7329f025a
519e8d835363

Online: https://paste.pics/a5401240d365799e2b7768e009c8dec8







So can anybody enlighten me why it is set like this and if it is possible to
do anything with it (fill a bug? against which package?), please?







Kind regards,

[OT] JFYI: Lets Encrypt CAA bug, how to check certificate

[Didar Hossain]

Hi,

This post is informational:

Lets Encrypt discovered a bug in their CA software (boulder) related to CAA
checking code. They have decided to revoke a subset of certificates issued on
March 4, 2020.

More information:
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/03/lets-encrypt-revoking-https-certs-due-to-certificate-authority-bug/

If you are using letsencrypt certificate(s) as I am, here is a way to check
whether you are affected -

curl -d 'fqdn=example.com' https://unboundtest.com/caaproblem/checkhost

* replace "example.com" with your own domain(s).

Found the helpful command from the comments on slashdot about this issue.

Kind regards,
Didar

I don't routinely install recommended packages.  AFAICS, the
recommends for hplip relate mostly to scanning, rather than printing so
probably not relevant.  Of course, I'm no expert.

Should I still go ahead and file a report?

I recommend to file a bugreport, which also means you get feedback from 
those maintaining the package.

I recommend to file the issue against the package where you experienced 
it - hplip - it is easy later reassign as needed.

It is nice, however, that you mention in the bugreport how you've been 
suggested this possible relationship with CUPS.

Share your concerns with those who can actually act on this: The Debian 
maintainers of the package you are concerned about: I.e. consider file a 
(low severity) bugreport against cups raising your concerns about 
weakened user experience.  Phrase is constructively and friendly - if it 
is perceived as "whining" (regardless of whether that was your 
intention) then there's obviously a higher risk that the bugreport will 
be dismissed without proper reflection.

Thanks for clarifying.  Yes, the two bugs filed today relates only to 
unstable, and your explicitly omitting details about suppressed 
recommended packages must mean that you have none of that.

This seems an excellent case of an issue that needs reporting.

Please do file this as a bug in Debian.

Thanks for the pointer.  Frankly, I have no idea what the change in CUPS

Should I be removing hplip, for example?

If yes, that would be a pity, since hplip has some features I find

I don't have hplip installed (which is a bit surprising, I had thought
that I did), but this post brought to mind a changelog message I saw in
a semi-recent upgrade.

Checking ~/mbox for the key word I half-remembered finds that it was in
the upgrade of cups to 2.3.1-5. The changelog entry for that version
reads:

>> cups (2.3.1-5) unstable; urgency=medium
>>

I wonder whether this might therefore be the result of a change in cups,
rather than in hplip.

I haven't actually had occasion to try printing since that package
upgrade, so I don't know whether it's produced any behavior change on my
end.

in me not being able to print anything.  Jobs were, apparently, being
sent to the printer (its display panel lit up, to indicate that there
was something about to happen), but the jobs never completed and
eventually timed out with a communication error.

The installed version (3.19.12) hp-check report concludes thus;

but I have four dongles, from two different manufacturers, all of them
with the MT7612U chip in it and all of them load the mt76x2u module

[didier gaumet]

Hello,

Charles wanting a Buster compatible adapter, I must add that I have been
unable to connect to my AP with a "pure" Debian Buster (wireless client
mode, no AP mode). I have had to enable backports and use backported
kernel and firmware. The firmware-misc-nonfree package which contains
mt76 firmwares seems unchanged between Buster and Buster-backports
concerning the mt76 parts, though.
