Re: Does Debian have a "nag" tool?

2020-08-22 Thread Marc Shapiro

I've been using Remind for years (maybe decades).  It can handle all kinds
of repeating reminders, not just annual dates (ie birthdays and
anniversaries).  Very versatile.  It is a command line program, but comes
with TkRemind (a GUI front end).  Best not to use the GUI for setting up
reminders, though.  It doesn't have the versatility of doing it manually.

Freeview DVB-T202(25€aprox,)
Està suportat al kernel https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/

SanDisk 128GB High Endurance Video microSDXC Card



This came up well in a couple of reviews I read yesterday afternoon.

The specific summaries:
After 30+ hours of research and testing, our top choice is the 64GB 
Samsung Pro Endurance. It has the best durability and value of 
endurance-focused cards and carries a 3-year warranty.




For 128GB+ cards on a budget, the Samsung EVO Plus, EVO Select and 
Sandisk Ultra A1 cards are good choices. While cheaper than our 
endurance pick, they lack a warranty and will likely fail earlier.



Sadly the reviews aren't coming up when I search my history in firefox. 
Only the outlets



It's encouraging to see some real world experience.

I'll try to remember to report the details of the system sdcard in my Pi 
next time I have it (the Pi) out of hiding.  It is at least 4years old 
of 24x7 use, mostly dragging files on to back up (usb connected)

I think the whole thread hinges on the OP not telling us what threats
the encryption should protect against: is he trying to hide something
from the FBI/MI5/Mossad or from his nosy big sister? If the latter, a
passworded zip file is probably sufficient, and all currently supported

Re: Encrypt files on Linux, decrypt on Windows

2020-08-22 Thread Greg Marks

One cross-platform encryption method would be to use OpenSSL
(https://www.openssl.org/).  The Linux user might use the following
commands.

Encryption:
  openssl aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100 -in plaintext.txt -out 
ciphertext.txt
Decryption:
  openssl aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100 -d -in ciphertext.txt -out 
plaintext.txt

I think the two commands will be the same on a Windows machine.
Assuming both sides have agreed on a decent password, this should be
very secure.  The main difficulty for a non-technical Windows user
would probably be installing OpenSSL; the easiest way might be via a
trusted third-party binary distribution.

I'm assuming the OP is content with a symmetric cipher (he or she 
didn't say).

The question is really:

What's wrong with what I consider the default?

Which is a slightly rude question, as it presupposes that
everyone will consider it the default answer.

Any number of replies can be made, starting with:

- I didn't know about that. What's good about it?

- I knew about that and wanted to know if there was something
  superior.

- I don't consider that a good default. What makes it good here?

- I don't consider that a good choice at all

and so on.

But some of us do. So, for the archives:

1) An error should be like this:

2) A firmware update to version 16.00.11.00 or later should fix it.

3) mpt3sas.prot_mask=128 *could* workaround it.

troubles with mpt3sas module on a very recent Dell server

Hi,

I am trying to install a Debian system on a recently purchased Dell
PowerEdge R840.
After trying many versions and distributions (including also Ubuntu Server
20.04 LTS) up to Debian Bullseye Alpha 2, the situations are always very
similar to this:

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4954451

I checked for all iDRAC, BIOS and firmware updates.

Here are version messages extracted from dmesg:

5.7.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.7.10-1 (2020-07-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux
mpt3sas version 33.100.00.00

LSISAS3008: FWVersion(16.00.08.00), ChipRevision(0x02), BiosVersion(18.00.00.00)

Hardware setup does not have any RAID support.
5 disks are attached: 1 x 240Go SSD SATA + 4 x 1,8To SAS

Don't really know where to address this or if/how I can help.

Yes, some folks do care. I do quite a bit of stuff in bash, and the 
single, most expert help in the form of good practice teaching was from 
Jon LaBadie, on the amanda list. Tricks that I didn't know bash could 
do, are both efficient and child's play for Jon. Like me, he's been at 
it for a long time, and growing less active on the amanda list.

Me, I make noise just to let folks know the old fart is still around, or 
when I need help. My next b-day in about 6 weeks, will be my 86th.

This really sounds like you're trying to test out a scenario in
a situation where it can't possibly work.

Don't do that. Test it in as close a simulation to reality as

Thanks for explanation on it further, in fact, as i stated earlier,
this is test scenario which i was talking about on a VM having
wireless and wired LAN connection in bonded mode with D-Link 8 port
switch.
Actual hardware and test scenario are different - managed Cisco switch
and two ethernet connections for bonding - which i've to test further
and get a result on this same.
Both interfaces are on the same network.
Thanks.

eth0 and eth1 are probably on two different networks (same as my wls1
& enp1s0 are on two different networks); that'd be my guess for why
failover doesn't work.  Both NICs need to be on the same network for
bonding to work.

It's more that I'm not sure how you manage to write or read that quickly
or easily. I could *do* it, on the read side at least, but it would take
work; it's not anything close to readable.

If it works for you, then it's not a fatal defect by any means, but it
does tend to get in the way when sharing code with others (as here).

That said, yes, I do tend to use longer (descriptive, not abbreviated)
variable names and include moderately extensive comments in my shell
scripts, just as in my other code. I find that it helps greatly in
understanding what I've written, both at the time and when revisiting it
later.

This will generally work, but it does have a drawback: you have
two different IPs, so when a change happens, all your existing
connections will drop and new inbound connections will only work
on the NIC that's up.

You'll also need to replicate firewall rules on each NIC.

Or you can just configure the wired ethernet connection to have a
lower (better) routing metric than the wireless connection.  That way
the machine always uses the wired connection if it's up and uses the
wireless connection when the wired connection is down.

There's probably a nice and easy way to do that by changing
/etc/network/something .. I never figured out how to do it that way &
used the 'Advanced Network Configuration' gui tool to set the wired
connection 'Connect automatically with priority' to -999

With the ethernet cable disconnected the only thing that 'ip route'
shows is wls1.

You still want bridging, not bonding.

WiFi doesn't have a cable, so it can't tell you when the
connection goes away, and it can't decide by itself to bring up
a connection. You need a management program that will pick a
network from SSID, negotiate any necessary encryption, and do
all that with a MAC address that does not conflict with another
one on the network.

The bond driver itself can't do that. You might be able to get a
higher-order system to take care of it --
/etc/network/interfaces *may* be able to figure out a way,
Network Manager might handle this case -- but I'll bet you a

The content between MIME separator lines are signed. The separators

So if the signature is in "signature.asc" and the content between the
separator lines are in file "content.txt" this command should verify it:

gpg --verify signature.asc content.txt

It seems that the signatures are made with "gpg --textmode" so that it
doesn't matter if the content has LF or CR + LF newlines.

Your "sent" and "received" messages even have different MIME part
headers and encoding. At least those things change after the signature
is made. See the attached "diff -u" output. But I can't verify any of
your messages even if I manually edit the MIME parts and try different
things.

Thank you for sharing this analysis. I was trying to figure it out but thought
the signature was only over the text and not over the headers.

I cannot get it to verify with manual editing, either. Yet somehow, my mail

help with bug report for boot delay in networking

2020-08-22 Thread Armin Faltl

Hi,

occasionally I experience a hang in booting during the network setup.
The boot screen shows a timeout of 5min 7sec going to 6min 37sec after
the former expired. Then the system starts normally and the networks
work, including openvpn and barracudavpn (when in use).

I didn't file a report with reportbug, since I believe it has to do with
the interaction of packages and not a single package.

As far as I remember, the behavior appeared when I installed openvpn.
With it came the WiFi package and the first use of the
Network-Manager-Applet. My normal network connection is cable based to a
LAN and routed out via a DSL modem to the internet. It is configured
manually via /etc/network/interfaces.

Since my tower machine has no WiFi, I suspect that the WiFi package(s)
look for one, for six and a half minutes and then gives up.

Apart from this behavior I wonder, why WiFi packages would be in a
dependency list of the openvpn package.

I can't tell with certainty now, since I don't have detailed records,
but the hang does not occur every boot, and may have some relation to
hardware initialization, as it may be rarer or not happen, when I reboot
into Debian from Windows 7.
Sometimes the machine hangs in networking for about 2 minutes in
shutdown too, again showing a timeout and counting seconds.

My system runs Debian 10.5 now but the behavior is much older. If you
tell me how, I can send you when I installed what.

Kind Regards,

Hi! All:

For my Homebuilt NAS [specs below], I've decided on a very small 32GB
SanDisk flash drive for the system drive to keep the 6 available SATA

wearing out the flash drive too soon. I don't know if it has wear
leveling built in.  Nothing in the specs about it. So, worse case, I'll
assume it doesn't.

For that reason, I thought EXT4 without journaling would work well.  No
journaling -- issues that causes aside -- would reduce writes a lot.
Then I came across F2FS which I hadn't heard of.  After some reading,
it seems the perfect filesystem for my purposes: It's more "modern" and
faster than EXT4, designed specifically for solid state devices, and
available in the Debian Repo. (I plan to use OpenMediaVault NAS
software which is Debian based.)

I ran a Samba server and a backup server on my SOHO LAN using SanDisk 
Ultra Fit 16 GB USB 3.0 flash drives with ext4 for several years.  I 
installed Debian just like I would for a HDD or SSD.  The computers 
worked, and the flash drives did not wear out.  But, they saw light use.



I used a 2015 MacBook Pro 15 with VirtualBox and a Debian desktop as a 
daily driver for about two years.  I used a SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB USB 
3.0 flash drive with a macOS filesystem for Time Machine backups.  After 
several months, I was awoken in the middle of the night by the smell of 
burnt electronics -- the flash drive had died.  Now the Mac has a 
SanDisk 128GB High Endurance Video microSDXC Card with an microSD to SD 
adapter.  The SD adapter sticks out further than the Ultra Fit.  I no 
longer use the machine as my daily driver.  The SD card has not failed 
after a year of light use.



If I wanted to use a USB flash drive as a Debian system drive again, I 
would probably just go with an Ultra Fit 16 GB and ext4.  They are 
inexpensive; and if they fail too often, I would try a high endurance SD 
card and USB adapter.



Tuning the system to minimize flash drive writes sounds appealing, but I 
never had much success at it.  Mounting the root filesystem with 
'relatime' or 'noatime' options sounds like a good way to break things, 
and I'm not going to audit an entire Debian system to figure it out.  I 
tried running without swap -- that is a good way to crash your systems. 
I have not tried alternate filesystems, because I want to be able to 
boot a standard Debian Installer and run the rescue console when needed 
(thus precluding ZFS, which I really want).  One trick I have not tried 
is a USB disk on module.  Eventually SSD's became cheap enough that I 
replaced all of the USB flash drives, so I have not pursued this.

Note that LACP is not "active backup" (mode 1) which you have shown in your
configuration. LACP is called Dynamic Link Aggregation (mode 4).
There are 6 types of bonding explained for example here
https://thelinuxcluster.com/2010/01/08/linux-bonding-modes/

All of them configure and behave differently. The peer in case of LACP also
has to be configured accordingly.

I have not done this in debian, but on Red Hat it needed some manual
configuration of the ETHTOOL options for the network devices, so that it
works properly.

newline which creates the empty line at the end of the MIME part is not
part of the signature.

--=_pte5-5038-1598034269-0003
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

This is my message.

--=_pte5-5038-1598034269-0003

So if the signature is in "signature.asc" and the content between the
separator lines are in file "content.txt" this command should verify it:

gpg --verify signature.asc content.txt

It seems that the signatures are made with "gpg --textmode" so that it
doesn't matter if the content has LF or CR + LF newlines.

Your "sent" and "received" messages even have different MIME part
headers and encoding. At least those things change after the signature
is made. See the attached "diff -u" output. But I can't verify any of
your messages even if I manually edit the MIME parts and try different
things.
