It's a default option.  It doesn't have to be visible in fstab.
Look at the *output of mount* instead.

unicorn:~$ cat /etc/fstab

It would be easier to set up cron jobs that mute the outgoing audio
channels at bed time, and unmute them at wake-up time.

Of course, figuring out which of your desktop environment's features
is doing this, and stopping it, would be greatly preferred.  And let's
face it, this is almost 100% guaranteed to be some kind of DE alarm
clock feature or something similar.

I'm inclined to think that it actually happens *every* night, but it
only wakes him up a few times a year.  But that's a guess.

The problem is, most Debian systems are set up to mount the core file
systems with "relatime".  This means you don't have a record of the
last time each file was accessed, so you can't ask the computer which
files were most recently opened.

At that point, Gene's knowledge (or lack thereof) isn't relevant.

  if the system can't tell you what's been recently 
accessed and you are on-line then you need to go
off-line until you've figured it out.

  if Gene leaves his network up and accessible to
others all night when he's sleeping then perhaps he

That's a good one. It triggered the thought that pavucontrol(-qt)
sometimes will rat out what is playing any given sound. I see it most
often with browser tabs. Pavucontrol will name the title of the tab
that's presenting sound.

Just tried pavucontrol-qt for alarm-clock-applet, too. It says,"Alarm
Clock : Playback Stream."

I just tried a "locate" search for "bell" and "door" on my setup.
There were "a few" files returned, but they were visibly searchable
fairly quickly.

That triggered yet another thought: What about some kind of a file
search that narrows down "Last Accessed" data for all the various
sound file types?

Personal experience is that manually viewing e.g. /usr/share isn't
100% perfect. It's been a couple years, but I've also seen sound files
stored more locally within some given package's own parent/child file
hierarchy. That helps make our favorite file search programs
priceless.

  perhaps a desktop sound?  i hate noises so i turn them
off.

  see if you have any enabled and if so check them all to see 
what they sound like.

  if a file does not have an extension you can still use the
file command to see if it can figure out what it is.

It's not obvious. I run synaptic from a standard menu launcher, where
the command is just synaptic-pkexec. It then requests the root password
before running. I'm on sid, which still ought to be very close to

Re: Failed to acquire pid file : /var/local/run/libvirt/qemu/driver.pid

Sure. It's debian. Uname -a for me is different because I have recompiled
the kernel several times. And I can't use 6 on this old netbook if I want
to enable kvm. The latest version supported is 5.7. Higher than this qemu
will not be recognized by kvm anymore. No problem if you don't want to use
kvm ; you can even use 6.x. The image that I've used there is the 6.x
onboard,but I have recompiled 5.4.

It seems you are in the sudo group, so pkexec should work.
"/usr/bin/synaptic-pkexec" is a one line shell script, a simple wrapper 
to "pkexec".


As you're using Debian testing:
- was pkexec/policykit upgraded today ?
- what was updated today ?
ie. read the logs in /var/log/apt/*
- did you check the changelog for pkexec ?
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/pkexec/changelog.Debian.gz

Also, the pkexec man page says :

As a result, pkexec will not by default allow
you to run X11 applications as another user since the $DISPLAY
and $XAUTHORITY environment variables are not
set. These two variables will be retained if the
org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui annotation on an
action is set to a nonempty value; this is discouraged, though, and
should only be used for legacy programs.

locate bing ; locate bong ; locate gong ? You wrote the sound was like

In this case, I would recommend to use "find" as root, rather than

button, which trigger on the neighbors cat walking by but remain silent 
when this sound jacks me up in the middle of the night.


If you have ennemies, they can use a long stick to ring the bell to 
evade PIR detection ^^




Any help in finding this will be hugely appreciated.

Sorry,
I cannot reproduce this issue

**
henning@oppenheimer:~$ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type
Type=wayland

and firefox works fine.

In this case it is firefox-esr if that makes any difference.

mwifiex_sdio mmc2:0001:1: CMD_RESP: cmd 0x23f error, result=0x2 on your image Debian Bookworm for the ARM Chromebook.

[Mario Marietto]

Hello.

I'm playing with my old ARM Chromebook,model xe303c12. I've recompiled the
kernel to enable KVM,such as qemu 5.1 and libvirt from source code because
I want to virtualize FreeBSD 13.2 arm 32 bit. As default OS I've installed
Debian 12. So now my system sounds like this :

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

on my last experiment I've switched from Devuan 4 to Debian
bookworm,"burning" this image file to the sd card :


https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/releases/download/230220-01/chromebook_snow-armv7l-bookworm.img.gz



I'm using it right now,but some huge errors are destroying my system files

If I don't get wrong,it is the wireless driver that has been added to the
system that's causing the problem,right ? or maybe it is incompatible with
the Debian 12 ?

Let me know please. I don't want to return to Devuan because libvirt is
easier to configure on Debian. But take in consideration that those errors
don't happen on Devuan.

Issue with wayland and firefox

[elodieluna]

Hello,

In Debian 12 I can't use both Wayland and Firefox. They both work perfectly 
well if the other is not used. Which should I choose in my bugreport?

To give you more details if I use Gnome with Wayland Firefox just displays a 
black window. I then have to wait for about 10s until I can start it again, 
this time with no issue. If Iuse Xorg for my Gnome session then this problem 
never happens.
This issue doesn't happen if I use Chromium instead of Firefox but I like 
Firefox better.

I never had this issue with Debian 8 to 11 but experience it Debian SID for the 
record.

Thanks for your help.

Perhaps add before
udevadm trigger --verbose --dry-run --type=devices --action=add

As you are awake and know the time of ringing do you check the logs

Bug? Latest kernel 6.1.0-11-686 needs edd=off

[Hans]

Hi folks,

I discovered an issue on my ASUS EEEPC 1005HPX with the latest kernel in 
bookworm.

This is a known issue:

When I boot, then the kernel hangs and it looks for me, that it is probing for 
edd. However, this issue is not every time, but from time to time it hangs 
over minutes or does not start at all.

The tricky trick is to set "edd=off" as kernel adding.

I am not sure, but it might to remeber, that the ASUS Netbook has some 
Biosdrive added used by WindowsXP at that time. This can not be deactivated as 
there is no option in the BIOS settings, so it might be hardcoded in the BIOS.

The reason, why I am telling this is, that all former kernels did not show 
this issue, the only one is the actual kernel in bookworm. Maybe this is a 
bug? I am thinking of a buggy timeout error or, if there is no EDD, then it 
tries again and again. This issue appeared only on my ASUS EEEPC, on all other 
of my computers it is working fine.

As I already said: I found a working solution, but if someone can confirm this 
is a real bug, maybe we should inform the developers?

Thanks for reading this, and if it is no bug, then sorry for the noise.

Have a nice week!

Best 

Hans

door bell like sound effect

[gene heskett]

Greetings;

odd request:

Somewhere, for some unk reason, there is a sound file file that plays at 
max volume, usually around 2 AM or slightly later, that is very similar 
to the 40 yo doorbell in this house. A bing-bong sound that differs from 
the real doorbell by maybe 5hz in pitch. Wakes me up, spoiling a good 
nights sleep, maybe a dozen times a year an apparently random dates.


To aid in finding it, what extension might that file be carrying to 
indicate its a .snd fle, which according to grep on ls -lR's output, 
does not exist in the thousands of files under hundreds of random names.


This file that sounds exactly like my doorbell has existed on my 
24/7/365.25 on main system for at least 20 years. I'd like to A. find 
it, B. find what condition uses it, fix the condition, or even delete it.


How can I best do that? updatedb, followed by locate door or locate bell 
reports nothing.


There are now 2 different PIR based devices watching that doorbell 
button, which trigger on the neighbors cat walking by but remain silent 
when this sound jacks me up in the middle of the night.


Any help in finding this will be hugely appreciated.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
