I tried to file a bug report against the debian-installer complaining 
about the "Install" option not allowing me to choose where to put GRUB, 
thereby breaking macOS; but I don't see it yet on bugs.debian.org.




STFW there are some resources for installing Debian onto a Macintosh 
internal SSD, but nothing recent for installing Debian onto a Macintosh 
external drive -- USB, SD card, or Thunderbolt.




My main question is — there are three identical listings taken at
different times; all say:


# mount | grep '.dev.sd'
/dev/sdb3 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdb1 on /boot/efi type vfat 
(rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)


and yet two are labelled as wrong, and the third as correct.


Thank you for your sharp eyes.


Without repeating those many hours of unpleasant work to confirm or deny 
the console sessions and/or the intermediate conclusions, at this point 
it does appear that I misread the output from the first two runs of the 
following command in my post of 9/1/21 4:00 PM:


# mount | grep '.dev.sd'


As always, I will have to be careful when making decisions based upon a 
single letter.



RTFM mount(8), it talks about feeding UUID's into mount as command-line 
arguments; but I do not see a way to have mount output UUID's (?).




I found the device letters a bit confusing when you're running the
rescue system. AFAICT, sda is always the SSD. So I was perplexed
by "Rescue operations -> Execute shell in /dev/sda3" because
your SSD only appeared to have two partitions in the OP.



The Debian Installer sessions were manually transcribed, and could 
easily contain typographical errors.




What seems to be missing from the account is any consideration of
the so-called NVRAM variables, about which I know nothing. 



My Debian posts did not include my prior ordeals making a bootable macOS 
installation USB flash drive, logging out of Apple services, erasing the 
SSD, resetting NVRAM, installing macOS Big Sur, etc., per the following 
Apple URL's and lots more STFW:


https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201065

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208496


(I never did figure out how to do a Secure Erase of the SSD.)



I'm
still working through how hiding the EFI/debian tree makes the
option-less booting suddenly work, but then, I don't know how
closely the Option key corresponds to pressing F12 on, say, a
Dell PC, which is how you set the device boot order.
(I haven't touched a Mac since the last century when they were
in a little AiO box.)



The contents of the SSD ESP filesystem are not ideal and I still do not 
understand how the MacBook Pro firmware finds and/or chooses between 
boot loaders.

I'm not on bullseye yet, but buster's /etc/skel/.bashrc contains:

# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned

# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt

Have you tried removing the last # ?

Why ``color_prompt`` is only set for ``xterm``?

2021-09-02 Thread IL Ka
Hi

.bashrc on bullseye contains following lines

```
# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac
```

So we only have colors in the terminal emulator, but not in virtual
linux console.

This could be fixed by one more hardcode
``
xterm-color|*-256color|linux) color_prompt=yes;;
``

But more robust way is something like:
```
if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && [ `/usr/bin/tput colors` -gt 1 ]; then
color_prompt=yes
fi
```

I do not know how much people care about console these days, but why have
hardcode if we can check the number of colors?

Ilya.

I looked at the ntf listings you provided. I am completely new to nft
and nftables, so I may have missed something. I don't see any ports
open on the guest network (192.168.122.0/24). So I suspect that's the
problem.

Now we need an nftables guru to chime in.

I did find examples on the Web, but none of them looked like it was
exactly what you needed. Sorry I can't help further.

The VM virtual network hardware is working. It can access the internet. It 
can't access only the host, either on the virtual network ip or the physical 
network ip. I have since removed the old guest image and replaced it with a new 
installation on a new VM configuration. The same behavior is also seen on a new

> What program are you using to try to contact the host?

I noticed the problem first with Windows Explorer to access the samba share. It 
simply timesout after a minute or two. Then I have tried ping and a browser. 
Pinging the host works and the host responds. Then I used nc to test 
connections like this:
  nc -lp 8080
On the host and point a guest browser to http://hostip:8080/ but nc never 
receives anything.

I have to point out I haven't touched anything regarding firewall since 
installation, however I have attached the output of iptables and nft in this

Neither syslog nor journalctl display anything related at the time this problem

I don't `control` my firewall. It's all Debian's default and the installed 
Debian packages defaults, like libvirt, which adds some firewall rules 
automatically. Attached are the outputs of `iptables -L`, `nft list tables` and 
`nft list table tablename`.

package the bug comes from. That's the reason I ask in a user list.

Anyway I found the problem. It is a bug in KDE:

Oh. You Are running UNSTABLE version of Debian. And just installed a
program outside of Debian, from third party website. You must know what
you are doing. Also you must then know how to report bugs like this, I
understand. Otherwise you shouldn't be running UNSTABLE version of Debian.


Everything was ok until Bullseye came out and a tsunami of new packages
arrived to Unstable.


Of course, that is normal with UNSTABLE system, especially after recent
stable release.


Since that moment the icon disappeared.


Dissect bug, report to Debian developers, and revert your system
snapshot to previous version. Mark affected, bugged versions of packages
in apt preferences so they are being avoided, awaiting new, upgraded
versions.


Everything
seems to work fine, except for that icon. No errors, nothing suspicious,
neither in logs or running Telegram from command line. Just no icon.
Thanks in advance

I suspect the syntax of my lines does not represent actual fonts

If you copied a disk image (.qcow2 extension) over, but not the setup
files that Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) uses (in /etc/libvirt), then
Windows is on a new machine, and can have conniptions over it. Go into
Windows' device manager (or whatever they're calling it this week) and
see if it is finding all its hardware correctly.

What program are you using to try to contact the host?

You may also have a firewall issue, as you say. On the host, please run
whatever you use as a firewall control program and check to see if the
relevant port(s) is open.

You may find it useful to open a terminal and, as root, run

tail -f /var/log/syslog

and, while that is sitting there, try contacting the host again. If the
firewall is blocking you, you'll see it in syslog.

If nothing obvious jumps out at you, let us know which program(s) you
are using to control your firewall (shorewall, ufw, gufw, etc.), and we
will see if someone familiar with that program can help.

How long had you been running Unstable? You could have expected a significant
churn when a new stable gets released - especially when there's been a freeze
for a while. This is another good argument for using release names in
/etc/apt/sources.list - no nasty surprises / flag days when there are 
major changes.

I suspect that reinstalling the .deb might well install the icon in the
right place - have you tried seearching for it / checking permissions?

Hi,

You didn't provide any system details. We don't even know what version
of Telegram you use, and how did you install it. You can have apt
version, snap version, version directly from their website, and so on.
No idea. No info about desktop environment you use. Sorry, can't help you.

QEMU guests can ping but can't access host

2021-09-02 Thread David Palacio
Good day,

I have recently installed Debian testing around its alpha release state. 
Previously I had a working Windows 10 QEMU guest with access to the host Samba 
shares in a previous Debian testing install. I copied the Windows 10 disk image 
over to the new Debian install and set it up to run again but it no longer 
could connect to the host. It can ping it and the host responds to the ping but 
any access attempt to the host on a TCP port is dropped. This too happens to 
any new virtual machine I create from scratch, including Linux VMs. I have no 
idea what has changed on the host. I suspect it may be the firewall but I'm no 
network admin and I know very little outside of network-manager and 
/etc/network/interfaces.

I use virtual machine manager to create and run my virtual machines.

Please help and thank you for reading.

You have been given the reason for the masking: saned.service is an
empty file. See the manual for systemd.unit.

  If a unit file is empty (i.e. has the file size 0) or is
  symlinked to /dev/null, its configuration will not  be loaded
  and it appears with a load state of "masked", and cannot be
  activated. Use this as an effective way to fully disable a unit,
  making it impossible to start it even manually.

The masking is intentional. It is by design. Your question is a
decent one, but understanding why it isn't of any consquence to
managing the saned service needs to be grasped.

> I'm guessing that masking saned service is part of scanbd installation
> because of using inetd or something.

It is nothing to do with inetd. saned.service is not intended to be
used for managing saned. That is the job of saned.socket (in
conjunction with saned@service).

  systemctl stop saned.socket
  systemctl start saned.socket

Y a-t-il une passerelle définie ? Quel est le retour de la commande
route -A inet6 ?

Comment sont définies les adresses ? Statiques ou dynamiques ? Et si
dynamiques, par quoi ? Le routage IPv6 est un truc délirant, certains
outils se débrouillant avec des adresses locales, d'autres non (j'ai
déjà vu des OS se débrouiller avec une passerelle en fe80:..., d'autres
refusent catégoriquement.).

Typiquement, chez moi, ça donne ça :

La MTU est de 1500. CEPENDANT !... Cependant, je passe par un routeur
NetBSD pour router différemment IPv4 et IPv6 (oui, j'ai un FAI de type
Internet pour les ploucs...) et ce routeur envoie IPv4 directement sur
l'interface wm2 (MTU de 1500) et IPv6 sur bridge0 (MTU 1335) associant
tap0 et tap1 (MTU 1335). Le routeur se débrouille pour ne pas avoir de
problème de MTU quitte à fragmenter les paquets IPv6. Le 1335 provient
de la valeur optimale du paquet OpenVPN tap, je n'entre pas dans les

Je ne pencherai pas ici pour un problème de MTU, mais pour un problème

I found at least a workaround: I installed and use xscreensaver for
locking the screen.  Unlike light-locker that xfce uses by default,
xscreensaver doesn't seem to mess with the colormap.

I should add: I am using nominally the same installation of debian 10 on

Only the desktop computer is giving me the problems described earlier in

Sounds informative.  Maybe thie Brian person knows a thing or two 
about

saned and you should consider listening.


bit presumptive of you




It's not presumptive, it's empirical. Our veteran participants get a
sense of who knows what about what over time, observationally (and who,
of course, inversely, is totally full of shit).

As always, separating the wheat from the chaff is left as the
traditional human exercise.


It is presumptive as I have considered Brian's responses helpful and 
informative.

I'll just presume you are grumpy because you have had the jab.

ping6 impossible/très lent depuis Debian sid et bullseye

2021-09-02 Thread Cédric Boutillier
Bonjour,

J'ai depuis peu une Freebox Delta, qui propose une passerelle ipv6.
Depuis mes machines Debian, la résolution des noms en ipv6 marche
correctement, mais pas de ping6, traceroute6 : ça tourne dans le vide.
Le ping et traceroute en v4 fonctionnent correctement avec des temps qui
semblent raisonnables.

Faire une connexion ssh vers un hote qui a une ipv6 prend plusieurs
minutes pour aboutir. (en forçant l'ipv4 avec ssh -4, c'est immédiat).

par exemple :

traceroute6 master.debian.org
traceroute to master.debian.org (2001:41b8:202:deb:216:36ff:fe40:4001), 30 hops 
max, 80 byte packets
 1  * * *
 2  * * *
 3  * * *
[...]
30  * * *

ping6 master.debian.org
PING master.debian.org(master.debian.org 
(2001:41b8:202:deb:216:36ff:fe40:4001)) 56 data bytes

It would go in ~/.inputrc by preference.  But you *could* wrap it in "bind"
and put it in ~/.bashrc instead, if for some reason you wanted it to be
more complicated, or to be done only in bash and not in other programs
which use readline.

Me either.  Try It And See.

I'd be quite happy to do (poor) translations into French/Italian and Spanish
for the respective user lists :) Many of the smaller lists have become 
magnets for spam postings, unfortunately - and there's probably a case
for asking the listmasters to discontinue them.

All the very best, as ever,

knoda5

2021-09-02 Thread BERTRAND Joël
Bonjour à tous,

Pour ceux qui seraient intéressés, je viens de forker knoda ici (trop
d'erreurs de compilation, pas de réponse du développeur aux patches
soumis) : https://github.com/JKBert

knoda5 est un frontend de base de données. Compile actuellement sous
testing avec mysql/mariadb, postgresql et sqlite3. dbase et xbase
semblent poser des problèmes de compilation et je n'ai pas eu le temps
ni la patience de corriger pour l'instant.

Cordialement,

JKB
