EL ecosistema linux en general y Debian en particular, suelen ser 
bastante amables con los viejos componentes, si no está disponible su 
razón técnica habrá.

Los controladores que buscas están en el repositorio de Debian pero para
versiones antiguas (buster, strech):

https://packages.debian.org/buster/nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

En nVidia indican que la versión 340 (legacy) no admite versiones de 
kernel modernas, motivo por el cual no está disponible en los repos:

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/135161/en-us

The 340.xx legacy Unified Memory kernel module is incompatible with 
recent Linux kernels, and the GPU hardware generations that the 340.xx 
legacy driver series is intended to support do not support Unified 
Memory.

Pretty disappointing that a CPU introduced ~15 months[1] prior to the distro's
release isn't supported out of the box. That doesn't sound right. :(

I assume it does check '$tmpdir'/$TMPDIR, but only when it requires
its use, hence the message. After that, what can it do but give up
syncing? I suppose it could treat deleting /all/ messages as a
special case and truncate the file.

One is warned about security risks with confidentiality from poor
choice of tmpdir. I don't think it ever does a conventional atomic
move (nor do I know the mechanism that one would use without having
write access to the directory). I think it writes it back.

Personally, it doesn't worry me what it does, because all the mail
in my /var/mail/ is ephemeral stuff from APT, cron etc from this
and my other hosts. All my /real/ mail is either on a remote IMAP
server (different mechanism, presumably) or in local mailboxes also
on /home. Therefore the most frequent use for my tmpdir is juggling
files while composing replies.

Cheers,
David.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, there's a simple workaround
if this (or isn't) affecting you, and that is to make a trivial
modification to your /etc/nsswitch.conf file. This will force any
upgrade to either refuse to modify the file, or ask to modify it
(which you can refuse). For example, you could add the line:

  # keep this file unchanged

to the file (as root). This will change its MD5, preventing it from
ever matching a previous default's value.

Cheers,
David.

Good morning

Have you tried booting recovery mode?

If you think the problem is kernel, 5.14 is available in backports.



Recovery mode generates slightly more jabber on screen, but then does 
the exact same thing-- video signal disappears.


There's a *more* advanced kernel in backports? I thought backports was 
for old stuff. And I've never used it, not sure how to do it. The

Your suggestion was spot on. I plugged the new drive into my main 
machine, booted it, then configured /etc/apt/sources.list to accept 
backports. Updated. Installed the 5.14 kernel. Made sure it would boot 
from my main machine after that. Then took it out and plugged it into 
the new machine. Video works now. So it *was* a problem with the 5.10 
kernel and the onboard graphics from the i3 chip.

Briefly, backports is a method of bringing newer stuff into stable, for 
people who really, really need newer. They are handled by a team who try 
to ensure that stuff in testing is working well enough that the rest of 
us should be able to use it with fewer problems than simply running 
testing.


I thought you were getting a terminal?   You said that you have another 
PC. So


Find a tutorial on adding backports to your sources.list, then how to 
use backports. I have an alias that installs backports:


sudo apt-get -y install --install-recommends -t bullseye-backports 
package


The tutorial should explain how to add a line to your sources.list,
# apt update,
apt search linux-image

check for signed images   (linux-image-5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64/now 
5.14.9-2~bpo11+1 amd64 [installed,local]   Linux 5.14 for 64-bit PCs

Something to try: remove xserver-xorg-video-intel. If you find *.conf in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ containing 'Driver "Intel"', remove/rename the file.

Also, show us Xorg.0.log from before and after the try (use pastebinit to 
upload,
then provide URL here). It should be in /var/log/, but may be in 
~/.local/share/xorg/.

For troubleshooting purposes only, you may need to try nomodeset on the Grub

10th Gen IGPs shouldn't need backports, but I could be wrong, and they might.

it future-proofs the printing and scanning systems.

If mutt normally writes these "temporary files" in /tmp (whaaat, how do
you guarantee an atomic move from /tmp to /var/mail??) then the OP
should at least check the perms and ownership of /tmp.

ls -ld /tmp

We've seen *so* many people with messed-up /tmp ownership lately.

I've no reason to kill you—I don't use any of the software mentioned

I've added a post to your mutt thread, which should help in locating
the cause of your problem.

Not much, because there's no location information. I think you should
try running mutt with debugging set:

$ mutt -d 5   … and whatever else you normally put here …

This will generate a huge file called .muttdebug0, so don't do much
more beyond deleting a single message (with d) and then syncing the
mailbox (with $). Then quit, with x so that you don't get any more
complaints.

Now look at the end of .muttdebug0 file with less, and the last bit
should include something like 'Got op 87' (for x) or 'Got op 151
Mailbox is unchanged' (if you typed q).

Now search (backwards) for 'Writing /var/mail/', which should follow
something like 'Got op 130' where 130 is the opcode for sync.
Here's what you ought to see at this point:

 Got op 130
 Writing /var/mail/username...
 Sorting mailbox...
 ../../mbox.c:869: mutt_mktemp returns 
"/home/username/.mutt-cache/scratchpad/mutt-hostname-1234-56789-1122334455667788990".

If you're running mutt on bullseye, the opcodes might be different,
hence searching for 'Writing /var/mail/' instead.

There should be some indication at this point of why it can't
delete your emails. The reason you see the filename
/home/username/.mutt-cache/scratchpad/mutt-hostname… above is
that I have set tmpdir="$HOME/.mutt-cache/scratchpad" in my
muttrc file. I use that, rather than /tmp, because it is encrypted
along with all of /home. But it means I have to clean it occasionally.

Cheers,
David.

Re: VMWare Horizon Client has glitchy graphics after update to Bullseye

[Luiz Romário Santana Rios]

Hello again,

The problem still remains after all these months.

My current solution is to access a remote CentOS 7 machine through VNC 
and use Horizon Client from there.


Any idea why this might be happening?

Interesting indeed. Reaching for printing and scanning drivers,
whether free or non-free, is still a user's first thought. I
suppose one should work to tackle the issue you outline but
switching to driverless printing and scanning is a lot easier
and makes most problems involving drivers go away. Additionally,
it future-proofs the printing and scanning systems.

The MFC-L2710DW is a modern device and is completely supported by
packages shipped with Debian 11 (bullseye). It is also completely
supported for printing via a wireless connection on buster.

akonadi - problems and more

[Hans]

Hi folks, 

please apologize if I am too rough and direct. But since the launch of akonadi 
years ago in kmail and other applications, I have the feeling, that the whole 
akonadi stuff is far away from the quality of debian.

So even today, there is an issue (which I already files a bug for), that 
akonadi can not be used. Means also, kmail can not be used. Means also, when 
kmail is started (and akonadi is sstarted automatically with it by force), the 
whole computer can not be used (akonadi fills memory, then swap, then freezes, 
then hast to hard switched off).

And that is not all, akonadi-indexing-daemon is crashing, then restarts, 
crashes again, restarts, crashes again and so on. 

Workaround is, to set the binary to --- --- --- (000 000 000).

Ok, it is linux and free, but it looks for me, that no one cares of akonadi. 
If you are on testing, a new version is released and maybe it fixes things, 
but if you are on stable, you have lost. I am watching this for years now, and 
I am on Debian since 2.2, this is a very lng time.

IMO this is not good atitude and should be improved. And I read in other 
forens, that many people think like me. 

Please excuse, I do not want to mourne too much, but it also should be allowed 
to openly tell thinks, that are bad. 

If you would ask me, akonadi should be abandoned due to its bad quality, but I 
found no way, to get rid of it, as many packages depend to kaonadi packages. 

Again, please don't gruntle too much over me, maybe I did not always find the 
correct English idiom, but see this more as a feedback of someone who dares to 
say what others think.

Except for akonadi (at the moment),I also must say, debian does a very great 
job, one, where other people like Microsoft, Apple, Cisco and many others 
should learn from!

Thanks for not killing me!

Best regards

Hans

Gview in vim should countinue to work but ...

Not in this instance, this is GaussianView - a (very expensive) commercial 
program for viewing chemistry "stuff". Actually, the main Gaussian product is
*hugely* expensive but has a 20 year licence term so is not bad for 
the cost

Lina

My suggestion is that you talk to the person at your work/academic 
institution who handles technical support and/or purchasing of this program
to ask them to contact the vendor. It may be that the vendor is not yet
up to date with Bullseye and still only supports Buster [in which case
it may be good to tell them it has < 1 year of full Debian support left.]
That would also explain why it is compiled against particular library
versions or whatever - and also why you need high performance graphics 
to work well for you.


Likewise, with luck, you've got someone who will help with some technical
support at your workplace/institution. Ask around?

Description: Binary data

How to secure access to SD cards a la USBGuard?

[hdv@gmail]

Hi all,

I'd like to limit access to (micro) SD cards on our systems to only 
those cards that have been vetted up front.


At first glance I thought maybe USBGuard would help me do this, but that 
will only detect built-in or USB-mounted card readers in which the card 
is plugged, not the storage device itself. Therefore allowing the card 
reader will automatically allow anyone to access any number of memory 
cards. That's not what we want for these systems.


Using USBGuard I can (and do) limit access to specific USB devices 
(including thumbdrives), but it seems I cannot use it to limit access to 
specific memory cards. For built-in readers I figure that is because the 
communication is not USB-based. But that would not be the case for 
USB-based card readers.


Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can achieve this?

Many thanks in advance!

Assuming you system is using systemd then look at the logs for the last
boot with:

#journalctl -b-1

and scroll to the end where you will see what was going on during
shutdown. Errors will likely be highlighted in red (they are for me).

The times I've had hanging during shutdown is due to the network being
shut down before network filesystems are unmounted.


Thanks, for me the culprint is 'dconf worker' (I see it being killed
with a 'timeout error') about 90s after preceding message.

I do not know where it comes from, I have dconf-service installed as a
dependency of many things, thus it is not removable. However I do not
find any messages about dconf, and what does not work correctly.

SO now the question is wtf is dconf doing, and how to
correct it (and no I have no idea of how dconf works, and even what
problem it is intended to solve.

A workaround that might shorten the wait, but only if you're confident
that there aren't processes that need that long to complete, is to edit
the line   DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s   in /etc/systemd/system.conf to
something smaller.

Cheers,
David.




I do not know : I was not even aware that kde was using dconf.

From what I could see, it seems that kded5 starts dconf-service at end 
of session, I presume to save some settings (but which one s ?) and 
something fails


would it help to remove the ~/.config/dconf/user file when kde is not 
running ? The /etc/dconf/db directory is empty.


I do not understand what dconf-editor shows me.


SHould I file a bug report to dconf-service or kded5 ?

That depends what you mean by "heavy". To someone like me, who
typically runs computers "of a certain age", (2) is the heavy
option, and (4) is lightweight because the OS never has to do
any more than it ever did.

For more than a decade, I've routinely partitioned my systems so as to
have two root partitions, and I flip between them as Debian evolves.
/home (encrypted) and any swap (random encrypted) partitions are
shared.

When I install a new version, I first check the ssh keys, and decide
whether to copy the old ones to the new system (easier) or vice versa
(means other machines have to be updated too).

Then I watch out for any software where there are significant changes
in configuration files and, if so, deal with them by versioning:
eg, restore the old dotfiles from backup, and set up a logon script to
flip a symlink to point to the appropriate version of dotfiles.

It's rarely very long before I cease booting the older version, but
it takes the pressure off from having to make all the necessary changes
at one and the same time.

If this program doesn't work under bullseye, but is known to work under
buster, then I see three main courses of action from which you might
choose:

1) Buy a new computer, install buster on it, and use gview on this.


you can also consider a remote computer.



2) Install buster inside a chroot, or a virtual machine, or some other
virtual layering technology, on your bullseye computer.  Run gview
within the virtual buster environment.


This looks the best solution here (for short and long term):

3) Reinstall buster instead of bullseye on your current machine.



4) dual boot: Buster / Bulleye (but heavy, so to avoid).

Re: downgrade qt version from 5 to 4

[lina]

Hi all,

Thanks all for the input. My problem originated from after the system
upgrade to bullseye, the gaussian view (gview) won't be able to show the
result file.
As gview is an essential part in my work, these days my work is stranded
due to it. I don't know how to fix it. Honestly.
One way is that:
When I open a program, that would be a great way to know which other files
are involved, as I can compare the one that works with the one that does
not work to get a clue.

Thanks again,

linux-RT et linux-signed dans bookworm

[ORL]

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Je viens de faire une fresh-install de bullseye, puis dist-upgrade vers 
bookworm. J'utilise linux-image-rt-amd64 (c'est pour une machine de 
musique live), mais il n'est plus dans bookworm. J'ai l'impression qu'il 
a été remplacé par linux-image-signed, mais j'en suis pas sûr. Est-ce 
que quelqu'un aurait une réponse ou des trucs à lire pour que je 
comprenne ça mieux ?

Merci.
Tcho !

I'm not interested in *installing*: I'm interested in evolving an
already installed system.  AFAIU Puppet can do that, don't know about
the other tools you mentioned.
