man strace says:

  -o filename Write the trace output to the file  filename  rather
  than  to  stderr.

So strace normally directs its output to stderr. That's file descriptor 2.
You can redirect it by the "2>file" gesture of the shell:

  $ strace echo hello 2>file
  hello
  $ cat file
  execve("/bin/echo", ["echo"], [/* 35 vars */]) = 0
  brk(0)  = 0x13ba000
  ...
  exit_group(0)   = ?
  +++ exited with 0 +++

Or you may use the mentioned -o option which will keep the tracee's stderr
out of the file:

  $ strace -o file echo hello
  hello
  $ cat file
  ...


Have a nice day :)

 But how do you strace a program saving the output (of the stracing)
in a logfile while you also save that program's output without making
it part of the stracing? Say you go:

$ strace -f wget --help

You can clearly see the output of "wget --help" tailgated as part of
the stracing (which, of course, you can parse out), but I want two
separate log files. One for the stracing and the other for the actual
output of that program you ran.

I found some posts suggesting that to be possible, but I couldn't get it right:

ZULU time is military, primarily NATO. The world is divided up into 
alphabetic time zones using the NATO phonetic alphabet with a few 
exceptions like India (the letter)


Being extremely pedantic, GMT and UT and UTC are all slightly different, 
UT and UTC particularly. GMT is now tied to UT. UTC is more precise than

Thanks for the suggestion.  I am a dinosaur; I have been running

print to a printer which does not have PostScript?  (All of my

The US airlines I worked for in the late 1980s and 1990s used Zulu
time. If I recall correctly, flight arrivals and departures were
specified like 10:34Z or 23:10Z.

I don't know why Z was used instead of UTC or GMT. Probably to save
space, and save some ink if a schedule was printed.

I don't know if that is still the case.

On a desktop debian 12.2 amd64 system with
HP_LaserJet_P3010_Series_48E436 (ethernet), LaTeX documents composed
with Emacs frequently print only up to a certain point (it varies with
the document), and CUPS prints the error message:

xdvi displays the document perfectly in its entirety.

I copied the file to another computer in the LAN, ran LaTeX and dvips,

One time I was able to recover by cutting the section at which
printing hung and pasting from another document.

Not just the RAF.  All aviation works in UTC, to avoid problems when
flights cross time zone boundaries, and to keep wide-area weather
forecasts sane.  Your average airline passenger never sees UTC,
since airlines use it behind the scenes and convert it to local time
for display purposes.  (That's why you can see some strange intervals
between departure and arrival times.)

As a side note, a similar dichotomy applies to airport designators;
passengers and baggage handlers only see the three-letter IATA codes
(e.g. YYZ for Toronto), while flight plans are filed using the 4-letter
ICAO codes (e.g. CYYZ for Toronto).  For the most part, Canadian ICAO
codes are the IATA code with a C in front, and American ICAO codes are
the IATA code with a K in front - but there are exceptions.  And ICAO
codes cover all registered airports, not just those with scheduled
airline service.

For the record, $SHELL does not tell you what shell you're currently in.
It tells you which login shell your account uses, or which shell

shell-escape from programs that offer this feature.

To see what shell you're currently in, try:

Hi.. This is Draft Email #2 for me for this thread. The first email is
very long. I chopped off all of the tips and am only focusing on the
following questions for now.

Am starting this time with an apt query:

$ apt-cache search reposync

Got a potential hit! The package is called dnf-plugins-core. It looks
interesting (to me). Its description is:

Description-en: Core plugins for DNF, the Dandified Yum package manager
 This package enhances DNF with builddep, config-manager, copr, debug,
 debuginfo-install, download, needs-restarting, groups-manager, repoclosure,
 repograph, repomanage, reposync, changelog and repodiff commands.

It's the only package that references reposync. I'll be downloading
and poking at it as a personal Debian development learning adventure
by comparing it to wget and rsync as referenced further below.

If dnf-plugins-core does not work for some reason, here are some
questions that might help Debian Users help you

What are you actually trying to do? Might also be asked as.. what were
you doing in the past? What exact command(s) were you using?

Internet searching on "reposync" alone makes it look like you're
trying to do what I have found that wget does. It worked for an LS
(Linux From Scratch) short webpage of only links today. Wget also
worked on a Debian repository related webpage that included child
directories.

Running "man rsync" references "URL" a few times, too, but I've not
been successful with it in the past. This thread is a reminder of that
feature so I'll be playing with it again later. It's always good to
know more than one way to accomplish all Linux tasks. :)

My other questions that will help Debian Users help you are.

Which Debian directory are you asking about? Or is it even tied to
debian(dot)org? If you're [pinging] a webpage that is not Debian and
it's not too personal, what webpage are you trying to sync?

A #1 question I have is...

Where are the files you are trying to duplicate (the source files),
and where are you duplicating those to (the intended target
directory/destination)?

Another way to ask that is: Are you duplicating from one personal
computer to another, or are you trying to pull from an online Internet
server's repository to download onto a personal computer?

Or are you maybe even trying to do yet something else that is not
mentioned above?

Your answer(s) might make a difference in the command and flags you
could use. As an example, that massively long Draft Email #1 I wrote
earlier included this useful tip I just learned for my own usage
today:

$ wget -c --recursive --no-parent
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/development/

That lead came from StackOverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/273743/using-wget-to-recursively-fetch-a-directory-with-arbitrary-files-in-it

Just test drove it, and it did work as hoped. That "--no-parent" is
telling wget to focus only on the current directory, e.g. for me the
LFS "development" download webpage along with any possible child
directories found there. Be aware that there can still be some extra
junk come in, depending on what webpage is being tapped. The more text
content and less HTML, the better.

Wget does work as expected, does keep digging into child directories,
too, because I just tested a Debian repository related webpage under
/debian/dists.

That's all I have for now. Just let us know...

An aside to wget and rsync Developers: Thank you for your work!
Between the two of your packages, it's a multi-times daily thing going
on between us.

Cindy :)

Be sure to read the other responses to that message.  There's a weird
timing issue caused by the fact that running "timedatectl" triggers
a service process to run, unless one is already running.  This service
process only stays running for 30 seconds, and it only reads the
/etc/localtime symlink when it starts up.

So, if you've already got one running, it won't pick up a changed
/etc/localtime.  But if you wait until the current one dies, then the
*next* one will.

I have no idea why this subsystem was designed to work this way.  It
seems awkward to me, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt
for now -- there's probably *some* reason to do it this way, even if
it's not immediately clear to me.

If you want to see what a process is doing, there's strace.  It can
even be told to follow all the children of a process (strace -f).

 This thread has taken a life of its own and I have learned quite a
bit from our back and forth. This is not how I intuitively thought it
worked. I thought you had to actively ask the OS to update itself ...
Now I am interested in learning all there is to be learned from this
whole time keeping methodology and how it relates to systemd and the

 Is there a way to start the Linux kernel of a Debian Live running
instance enabling you to log the whole process (in a more in depth way

OK, you've examined them... and... what did you *see* in them?

When did this problem start to happen, and which of these files
were edited right before then?

Oh, and just for additional data: if you start a terminal, and
then run "dash" (or any other shell that isn't bash), does the

go away, same as it does when you run "jed", but it's good to

Hi

By default, apt will check the dates on the package manifests and bring you
up to date based on that.

If you install from nothing then the installer will do the same assuming
that you have an internet connection.

reposync is really a Red Hat ecosystem specific command, I think.

Bonjour,

Quand tu installes Debian avec un bureau, par défaut c'est Gnome avec 
les serveurs Wayland et Xorg. Par défaut toujours, Sous Debian de nos 
jours, Gnome est lancé sous Wayland (mais on peut changer pour Xorg dans

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Un grand merci pour votre aide.

J’ai partiellement résolu le problème comme suit :

Habituellement je change de graphical.target à multi-user.target et je rédige 
un .xinitrc en fct de l’environement que je veux.

Avant d’avoir ce problème, je pouvais laisser x-session-manager et 
x-window-manager à leur valeur et lancer ce que je veux avec :

exec /usr/bin/openbox-session

Maintenant ça ne marche plus (si je fais ça les applications comme libreoffice 
mettent des plombes à démarrer en attendant un accès à internet).

Pour contourner le problème j’ai configuré :

x-session-manager → /usr/bin/openbox-session

x-window-manager → /usr/bin/openbox

Avec :

update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

Et dans .xinitrc, au lieu de :

exec /usr/bin/openbox-session

J’ai :

. /etc/X11/Xsession

Qui lance /usr/bin/openbox-session par son alternative.

Bon ça marche « tout le monde » « voit » la connexion internet.

Le problème est contourné, mais pas résolu, tant que je ne comprendrai pas 
comment le script dans /etc/X11/Xsession résout le problème et pourquoi ça 
bloque en lançant :

exec /usr/bin/openbox-session

Vos lumières sont les bienvenues, car il me semble que mon système est mal 
configuré.

La dernière version du système d’installation de debian ne m’a pas configuré le 
fuseau horaire, il « disait » ne pas pouvoir le faire sans configurer le 
réseau, alors que le DVD d’installation est justement prévu pour une 
installation sans accès à internet.

Je l’ai fait il y a quelque mois avec une version précédente (12.2 je crois) du 
DVD d’installation et ça a parfaitement fonctionné sans accès à internet… Mais 
cette fois (avec la 12.4) le système d’installation me ramenait constamment à 
Matériel de connexion réseau:

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch02s01.fr.html#network-cards

Et j’ai dû m’y prendre à plusieurs reprises pour l’outrepasser.

Il me semble que quelque chose est mal configuré…

If you come across spam - ignore it in the mail that's come to you.
Also check in the web mailing list archives at lists.debian.org if its come
from a list and use the button to report as spam. If it gets removed from
the publicly visible archives there, it's also then less likely to be
harvested by spambots and used again.

A mí m'ha passat alguna vegada una cosa pareguda. Normalment es perquè el 
locals no s'ha generat correctament. 

Per provar que costa poc:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

I a vore que passe.

Yes - that's the obvious way. I set my machines to /etc/UTC (or /etc/GMT)
and leave them there. No daylight saving time, no offsets - all logs
unambiguous. That's why (worldwide) radio logkeeping is/was in UTC.
If you're travelling in an aircraft, you don't _need_ to know ground time
but you do need to know flight time against a reference time. The Royal
Air Force keep to UTC wherever they are in the world for just this reason.

Anything else is an offset against the reference: if all your Linux
boxes have timestamps against the epoch - which can also be related
to a human time if you *have* to - you have a reference there..

The problem comes when someone gives you logs that are taken against a 
different reference. (See also mapping against Greenwhich meridian (UK)
and Paris meridian (France) for many years - two sets of maps that aren't
*hugely* different on a world scale but locally very different).

Replying to spam will just tell the spammers that the mailbox is being
read and that makes the address much more interesting for spam.

The best thing to do is ignore SPAM.

If you *must* reply, don't quote the whole thing and send it to the list
*again*.  

Thank you.
