Compatibility with Dell PowerEdge R250

[Hassen Ibrahim]

Greetings,

I just purchased a Dell PowerEdge R250 server and was wondering if debian
10 is compatible with this server. The server has an Intel Xeon E-2334
processor, 32GB RAM and 6TB storage. I'll be looking forward to hearing
from you.

Best regards
Hassen Mulugeta

deb11 also complains floppy error, but it isn't slow

Re: Transport endpoint is not connected

[hlyg]

deb12 is slow, it complains floppy error. in bios floppy drive is set to 
1.44M though i have no floppy drive. this isn't problem for deb10/11. 
it's easy to correct bios setting but i am afraid deb12 is still slow.

The OP seems to prefer "all of the effect", and not just "much of",
which I understand. So thanks them for the hint (I run systemd-less,
so I just know enough journalctl to help other poor souls ;-)

This is only for the FAT file system. Actually, for the UNIX variants which
existed before Debian was born, the dot is just one normal character in the
file name. Only slash (directory separator) and null (because C strings) were
treated specially. And there were just two special file names, "." (for "this
directory" and ".." for "parent", that's all.

Some utilities (ls) also treat a file name starting with a dot especiall,
but the underlying operating system doesn't care.

Internally, FAT allocated exactly 11 characters for the file name (8 for
the "base", 3 for the extension: the dot was implicit). The operating
system treated some of these names specially, and with the arrival of
Windows, the UI started hiding the extension, which led to lots of fun
for trojans ("foo.jpg.exe", anyone?)

So no, this "file extension" thing is something popularized by Microsoft
(they seem to have copied it from NCR: Microsoft didn't invent anything).

It tends to creep into sane environments, though.

You can get much of the effect of /var/log/syslog with journalctl. "man
journactl" for the gory details. Of particular use are the -f and -u
options.

What, you couldn't figure that hlyg is not a master of the English
language from his|her|its sentence structure and vocabulary?

Furthermore, this is a world-wide list. We get all levels of English
mastery here, and courtesy calls for not assuming mastery.

Finally, even experts in a language can err and use the wrong word from
time to time.

do i speak like native speaker??

Every person's English is not the same as every other person, regardless 
of whether English is the person's primary and possibly, only, language.


And, each "English speaking" country has a different version of English, 
within which, many different versions exist.


And that is quite apart from the variance in the quality of English 
taught in formal education, which varies from individual teacher, to 
individual teacher, so that it is not surprising that Masters degree 
students and graduates, have English quality levels, about equivalent to 
middle primary (or, in some countries, named elementary) school 
education levels.


Which also means that, in many cases, where a person from Asia, for 
example, has English as a second language, the person's level of 
English, is far superior to locals, who have English as the primary and 
only language.


It all depends on the quality of teaching, and, the quality of the 
English that is being taught, both of which, vary considerably, apart 
from the differences between different versions of English.

As I have taken the first step of changing one of my systems to V12, the

On the topic of gripes, 12 still has the obnoxious NetworkManager as

Oh, it's a gripe, not a question.

You may dislike the decision all you wish, and we may even all agree
with you, but griping here will not change anything.

This was an intentional change made by Debian, and they are proud of it.
They even documented it, and told you how you can achieve this
no-text-log-files state after an upgrade from a previous release:

https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#changes-to-system-logging

As with many of the unpopular changes that Debian embraces, this is a
decision they made, and no matter how utterly daft and ridiculous it is,
no amount of griping by users will change their minds about it.

I believe that using the abbreviation "deb" as the file name extension 
for packages, is due to, at the time of the creation of Debian, the 
limitation on file name extensions, to three alpha characters  (and, I 
accept correction on that assumption, if I am wrong), like, as for 
gTLD's, originally, the names of the domains (as opposed to domain 
names), were limited, also, to three alpha characters, such as .com. 
.net, .org, etc.


Over time, with longer computer word lengths, such name length 
limitations, were no longer needed, so that, for .jpg files, .jpeg 
files, also arose, and, in gTLD's, names of domains, also, became not 
limited to three characters, and, so, now, gTLD's include .apartment, 
.bargain, .associates, etc, etc, etc.


However, given that the .deb file name extension does not indicate that 
a .deb package is limited to only Debian (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and, 
others, accept .deb packages), and, that .deb is known and has its 
reputation, as indicating a compatible package, I believe that the 
Debian Project would have no reason, to choose and implement another 
file name extension; for example, .debian, to replace the .deb file name 
extension; and, given that the name Debian, is associated with 
stability, I believe that the .deb file name extension, would likely, be 
unchanged, as, amongst other reasons, no worthwhile reason exists, to 
change the file name extension, from .deb, which is a well known file 
name extension. That is my, and, only, my, opinion.

Another aspect also arises.

The name deb12, especially,given that the "Deb" component of the name 
Debian, refers to a woman named Debra Lynn, indicates being the name of 
a gynoid such as Cherry2000, or, a created humanoid, such as Jessica6.


Thus, I am not sure that Debra Lynn would approve of either being named 
after her, and, the name "deb", indicating being a version of her.


So, I would expect that Debra Lynn would be entitled to be required to 
approve of each version of "deb", before it would be released, as the 
inference would be that such a product, would be a direct reflection 
upon her.


So, unless each version of "deb", would be required to be personally 
approved by Debra Lynn, before being released, as it would, by name, be 
a reflection upon her character, I suggest that the prospective use of 
the name "deb" for a release version of Debian, should not be 
entertained, because of what it entails.

For syslog : apt-get install rsyslog

[C.T.F. Jansen]

To restore a readable and accessible syslog in Debian 12.0 enter

   apt-get  install rsyslog

One doesn't need to do anything with the journal suite.
I installed rsyslog-doc as well. It is in: 
/usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html


The logs appear to be set up to rotate etc already in: 
/etc/logrotate.conf and   /etc/logrotate.d/


This seems to restore other logs as well.

To implement and maintain a system there should be a text log which is 
immediately accessible.
The current default logging is unsatisfactory and needs to include a 
text log.

One can easily stop it later. This can be done with rsyslog etc already...

Exactly. You can get HDMI cables anywhere that sells TVs: WalMart, Target, Best
Buy, Roses, probably Home Depot, Lowes, CVS & Walgreens too, besides computer 
shops.

Your new VGA cable could be worse than the old one. Some displays need a cable
with all 15 pins good. Cheaper cables only use 14.

The retaining screw sockets for VGA connectors sometimes come loose. When they 
do,
it's possible for them to prevent the cable from being completely connected 
unless
you screw them back in or remove them.

This is still VGA. You have not swapped the cable for an HDMI or
DVI cable.

Start there.

Thanks for the reply.

I changed the cable and get the same results.

To HDMI or DVI?

  

However, I am rather hesitant to try this.

Is there a possibility that I might destroy something?

Not with a modern monitor, no. And anything with an HDMI input
is modern.

VGA is an analog technology that dates back into the 1980s. Developers are
becoming fewer and fewer who use it, leading to potential regressions in 
software
that uses it. Digital is more competent. Use it if you can, and surely you can
with both your HD5450 and your LG digital flat panel display. Both DisplayPort 
and
HDMI provide the benefit of also carrying audio to your display, should that be
your wish.


Then I googled 'linux force vga monitor mode'. This resulted in:
  1. Open a Terminal by CTRL + ALT + T
  2. Type xrandr and ENTER
  3. Note the display name usually VGA-1 or HDMI-1 or DP-1
  4. Type cvt 1920 1080 (to get the --newmode args for the next step) and
 ENTER
  5. Type sudo xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248
 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync and ENTER
However, I am rather hesitant to try this.

Technically, yes, but as a practical matter highly unlikely, and cvt does no
better at generating a mode than X does if given the vertical refresh and
horizontal sync data it needs that EDID is failing to do. Create a file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf containing:

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Monitor0"
 HorizSync  30-81
 VertRefresh56-75
 Option "PreferredMode"   "1920x1080"
EndSection

Note that the sync and refresh numbers should come from your display's
specifications in its manual, but those above are likely adequate to task. It's
also possible that 'hwinfo --monitor' would give you those two specs.


Well, the file didn't word. Booting resulted in an errorm message that the 
lightdm wasn't found.
I rebooted in tp the repauir mode and removed the file. The system rebooted OK.

Re: Deactivating and Reactivating the display of a NUC 13

[Stefan Schumacher]

Hello,

I have exchanged the connections - one NUC from HDMI to USB-C and the
other from USB-C to HDMI.  The problem persists. I have not yet bought
a new USB-C-to-DP-Cable and, unfortunately, don't have another one at
hand - only tons of DP and HDMI-Cables. I have bought an active
HDMI-2.1-to-DP1.4-Connector, but only got a display output of it
intermittently.
I strongly suspect that the problem is my monitor. At the moment I am
unwilling to buy a new one, since it supports 4k at 120hz and has four
display connectors. Buying a new monitor with these features would
cost me most likely more than 1k. My current one was a bargain at 800
Euros.

Yours sincerely
Stefan

Well, I tried it and at least it was happy -- thanks a lot for the
hint.  There were quite a few more stanzas now in odbcinst.ini, so we
shall see if it actually works.

In that tutorial, it specifically tells you to install that file, so
I  left it  there  during the upgrade.

So I'm on a path to figure out what could be wrong with the OP's
system and what is their final goal.

I am upgrading freepbx...

You've probably used this tutorial [1] to install FreePBX?
If so, I think you can try to remove "/etc/odbcinst.ini" file and retry 
reinstallation of packages, because this file should be populated by 
odbcinst script automatically and maybe something in it prevents script 
from working.
If that still doesn't help you've probably better asking for help on 
FreePBX forums. [2]
