Re: How to write in Chinese
HI tbf the built-in Chinese input method is painful i used to use ibus.el in emacs（but it is dead i think） l some minor problems i have 1. unless locale is set to Zh_CN.UTF-8 i cant type chinese under X，no problem in Term though i need to start emacs instant with LANG=zh_CN.utf8 emacs in bash if i dont want to set system locale 2. Ctrl-Space （or Win-Space） might be conflict with input methods change，make marks harder （use Ctrl-@）as alt 3.

Debian compatibilty with ASrock J3455 question
Hi，experts My dell vistro 5453 failed to work several days ago，and i‘m not going to save it. I could reuse ram and ssd，so i'm considering a motherboard for a home NAS，w/ debian and OMV one possible choice is j3455-itx，however，there were some posts indicated i might have problem running Debian with this motherboard。 asrock only have win10/ubuntu on j3455's support list Does someone have experience on this motherboard. If there is positive answer，i will buy one，if not，it's not too late for me to next choice，lol Thank you reference： http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5227=j3455itx-and-debian-88 https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/16375-ASRock-J3455-ITX-problems/#post131188 -- Liu An

But it still failed at detect media step. As we can't mount loop devices in busy box, if we could extract the contents in this ISO to some place we could read ( e.g USB with fat format), can we continue this installer ? -- Liu An
Re: Disk setup to boot both RAID1 disks
Hi, Pascal, I personally didn't use --removable option while install GRUB, but built a standalone EFI boot executable for grub (say, grubx64.efi with modules),it could be copied everywhere you want, and it do safe me many times.

Re: Is it possible to install Debian in such a case.
Hi, All, I'm very happy to see many people try to help, and want to describe why i have such kind of questions As all knows, redhat 8 was announced available serveral days ago, and i got the DVD iso, and i want to have a try (for myself i use debian on my pc, but enterprise customs use RHEL/CentOS/SLES ) And i managed to install it from harddisk But i'm lazy 1. i don't want extract files from iso 2. i don't want to cp *.iso /dev/sdb (dd )to destroy my data on USB stick to make it as install media 3. I have grub 4. i have a spare partition on my PC (say /dev/sda9) to install it Can we do that? We have a solution for debian, as mentioned, use hd-media (vmlinuz, initrd.gz with iso-scan) in step 2 , so it's not a really a problem But this should have share the common ground in installation, isn't? That's why i post my question here.

The initrd.gz from iso can't locate iso file, but i can. how can let the install process know where the iso file is. The initrd.gz from hd-media can locate iso file by iso-scan, but it would scan all dev over. it takes a while. it does works as automation work, but if i could tell the iso file location, why not?

I'm sorry to have you worried. To create a UEFI bootable windows install media is nothing related with this post If you don't buy a copy of Windows, you would probably need to destroy the windows installation, As soon as we finished create install media from windows, you definitely should delete your installation in the grace period. > https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/05/msg00032.html > > ² > https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/05/msg00103.html > > Cheers, > David. > -- Liu An

Yes, i use dd or cp to create install media for formal case, because it's the recommended way which tested quite well. Actually the question could extend in several ways, such as 1. Could I install debian from chroot enviroment while i'm in another linux dist (such as CentOS, SUSE, RHEL ...), or vice versa. 2. Could I boot A LiveCD without burn it to some media These are not typically problems bother me, but something interesting to play with, LOL -- Liu An

Is it possible to install Debian in such a case.
Hi, List Image the following case What I Have. a USB stick with 1. a portable GRUB (either UEFI or legacy) 2. a install ISO, such as debian-9.9.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso (mayb would e a LiveCD make life easier?) What we want.Have Debian installed (could assume that we could do whatever we could, such as re-partitation the whole harddisk) The Answer to this question is most probably yes, but how. The work around is to boot with vmliunz and initrd.gz from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ the cost is very small as these two file size total is less than 20M I wonder if there is a way to finish install only in GRUB, without initrd involved -- Liu An

Re: Trouble making bootable USB from ISO image
Hello， from my experience cp windows.iso /dev/sdf should work for windows version higher than win 7，and not work for xp What i usually do is the best following way rather tban cp or dd because it preserve my disk table ，i only need do rm （or not even you dont bother install media in root partition table，leave it as in case you need it a second time，data still can be add or remove as regular ones） mkdir /mnt/usb -p mkdir /mnt/iso -p 1）format the /dev/sdf1 as fat32 2）mount windows iso， either automount to /media/xxx or mount -o loop windows.iso /mnt/iso mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/usb 3）cp -r /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb and this device should be bootable from UEFI hope it helps == you cant see the following == 1）install from window.iso in kvm ，you should have 1 month trial before activate 2）download ms usb creator 3）create media within windows 10 4）destroy kvm prepend nothing happens On Fri, May 3, 2019 at 18:50 Mark Fletcher wrote: > Hello > > I'm trying to use Stretch to write a .ISO image to a USB device.

HI， short answer is yes，you can have both emacs displayed in GUI i think the problem is when you switch to goo，the auth to DISPLAY is lost it depends much on how you switch to goo from foo btw， i guess you login to foo with display-manager such as gdm or something alike，and switch to goo with su serveral ways a little tricky but simple to work 1. switch to goo via ssh -X goo@localhost 2. try to start emacs in this session the 2nd one is to use xauth to deal with X permission 1. as foo echo $DISPLAY （typically you will get :0） xauth list （remember the hexcode ）let's say $hex 2. as goo export DISPLAY=:0 （or what you actually get in 1） xauth add :0 . $hex （easiest way is just do a copy-and-paste） 3. try to start emas in this session you can also use “xauth merge” or “xhost”，but the principle is the same On Fri, May 3, 2019 at 23:14 aprekates wrote: > hi. in debian 9 i start emacs as user foo from the terminal and the > gui start up. i start emacs from the terminal as another user goo and > the text version comes. > > Can both users have their own gui emacs sessions ? > > > Alexandros > > > -- Liu An
Re: Is there a way to install Debian iso's from an existing installation onto a USB connected drive?
if you dont want to erase the existing contents of your USB stick （or you even dont need a USB stick） then grab vmlinuz and initrd from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ then place debian install iso of same version under root partition of disk （not only work for usb ，but also the partition on sdX you would not destory in next installation） reboot with these too vmlinuz and initrd from GRUB （you should have it as you mentioned existing workable system） and you are all through，nothing special to iso boot On Thu, May 2, 2019 at 14:42 Albretch Mueller wrote: > something like: > > 1) download the iso's > > 2) go: /dev/sdb > > where "/dev/sdb" is the device a USB disk is linked to > > then you would plug the disk on your computer and take it from there > > For that I used to burn live DVD but there should be a better way > > lbrtchx > > -- Liu An

NVIDIA driver installation on Debian 8.2
Hi I'm a debian newbie. I installed latest Debian with xfce on my laptop. I used official DVD-ROM. My graphics card is NV Geforce GT 640M LE. I installed 360.65 driver for my graphics card following the instructions on wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_8_.22Jessie.22 The installation process went well. But once I created Xorg server configuration file and restarted, I cannot enter xfce. It says there are X-window server errors. If I delete the conf file, I can enter. But nvidia configuration setting reports the driver is not working. Can anybody help me? Thank you very much. Best regards, Gengdai
gnome windows became the old style and gnome-terminal's profile disappeared
Hello all, I'm using the latest Debian testing. My gnome's window appearance became the old style after a safe-upgrade. For example LibreOffice and Chromium have the ugly button style. GUI of LibreOffice: http://imgur.com/gbzgwAB GUI of Chromium: http://imgur.com/E4U50Pn Another problem appears that gnome-terminal's original profile disappeared and my configurations were lost. Instead, a profile with the name Unnamed and ID b1dcc9dd-5262-4d8d-a863-c897e6d979b9 is shown. And gnome-terminal doesn't respond to any keyboard shortcut such as Alt-F and Alt-E which should trigger the menus. Gnome-terminal's profile preference: http://imgur.com/cfGMnXC I've tried to analyze .xsession-errors, and tried to install gtk2-engines-pixbuf according to the error messages. That actually makes the appearance better but I don't think that's the root of the problem. .xsession-errors: http://paste.debian.net/15771/ Could you please provide some hints on this problem? -- Liu Binsheng liubinsh...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I want to do this because I need to build dpkg on a CLFS system (think it as a minimal linux system without debianization), and it's crazy to download all dependent source packages of dpkg, right? Not really if you need dpkg as you say for your system. After all you asked to have Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch (a.k.a CLFS). Yeah, I just realize that. Thanks for your re-confirmation :-) If you are building installation image only, you may not need dpkg. Why not?

Re: why fake raid on motherboards?
--- Mark Allums m...@allums.com wrote: - snip - Only certain editions of Windows can boot from soft raid, and none of the consumer versions. Just the server/enterprise ones. One can use fake/soft raid with cheap add-in cards, like the stuff Highpoint does with their low-end cards. The advantage is, if your motherboard fails, you can transfer the card to a new motherboard. Since the cards are relatively cheap, you can get more than one, and thus keep a spare around in case the card fails. Also, some brands maintain compatibility with the older cards in the same family, so you may be able to upgrade the card without reformatting the drives. I ran Highpoint RAID card 7~8 years ago. It was termed as Software RAID dislike Adaptec RAID card. The latter is termed as Hardware RAID card but very expensive. It worked without problem. Later I found not much advantage on running RAID. Therefore I ceased running RAID anymore. I don't run Windows either. I can find the replacement on almost all proprietary software running on Windows. What I can't find is the Windows java engine on IE. Some stupid websites still request visitors running Windows IE to browse their sites. B.R.

Re: Boot Debian to a command line and prevent X from starting on boot

Can someone tell me how to just boot and land on the command line, bypassing X? Thanks! Hi Robert, Whether you meant starting text mode/init 3 at boot whenever you need but not permanently. If YES I did it frequently about 5~6 years ago. The steps are as follows; 1. Boot your computer into GRUB 2. Highlight the most recent kernel on the list (if having several kernels) 3. Press e key to edit the commands for that kernel before booting. 4. On the next screen, highlight the line that says kernel /vmlinuz... and press the e key again. 5. At the END of the line of grub edit kernel /vmlinuz... hit the space bar once (to get a space before typing) and type init 3/3 (without the quotation marks) and then press enter key. 6. You should now be back at the previous screen having init 3/3 at the end of the line. Now press the b key to boot into text mode! # starx (If login as ROOT start GUI as ROOT.

It is not a real file system on your hard disk. It seems obvious that your broken system does not have a valid /sys since it did not manage to boot properly. It should be automatically recreated, once your 'old' system boots fine. HTH, Johannes Star Liu wrote: and i fount that the /sys in the broken system is a shell file A shell file? You should remove that file, and create a directory. Sys will be mounted upon it automatically. Mounting /sys on /root/sys makes no sense - could you paste the /etc/fstab of your old system here please? thank you for your explanation, here is the /etc/fstab of my broken system - # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass proc/proc procdefaults0 0 /dev/sda4 / ext3errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda/media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 -- seems no /sys, then where does those error message come from? Also, not having /sbin/init is much of a problem. Is there a /sbin/init in your old system? yes, there is, it's a 36.5KB executable file.

gecko is a good method for developing desktop software, right?
I'm thinking about the methods of developing cross platform desktop software those days, I think the advantage of gecko is that it seperates layout, styles and event response information(code), which is a correct direction for software development, as I saw this direction in web development. Other methods(gtk, qt, wx) may still stay at the traditional stage, which mix layout information with event response code.

Hi Star. I'd recommend against solving the problem that way. Ports are standardised so they may be found easily by those who needs them. As others have noted Inetd is the Internet superserver. If you look in /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinetd.* if using xinetd) then you should see an entry where it is starting an ftp server on tcp/21. It shouldn't be starting anything else there unless you have a honeypot set up. So I'd recommend finding out what Inetd is starting, disable it and start your ftp server on the correct port. Having said that I wouldn't recommend ftp for anything except anonymous access. sftp is now widely supported in file transfer clients even on MS-Windows. sftp is a lot more secure and doesn't have any problems with firewalls like ftp does. thank you, I have stopped inetd using 21 port by commenting out that line about ftp, but unfortunitely, I have not setup my ftp server, it seems the best ftp server is proftpd, but sid doesn't support it(why?), then how could i setup a ftp server on sid?

GTK and QT are traditional toolkits that are use for building apps. They are comparable to WinForms (.NET), MFC (Win), or AppKit (OS X). Gecko is technically the rendering engine at the heart of XULRunner, otherwise known as the Mozilla Platform. XUL is Mozilla's XML User interface Language, which is used for Firefox's Chrome - all the UI elements around the web page. XUL is rendered with Gecko, just like HTML, and the UI is driven with Javascript. XULRunner's use of XML and Javascript might make it easier for a Web dev to write an app, but I suspect you would have to write some amount of C++. In any case, you would have to learn how the JS wraps the C++ interface, which is rather different from the DOM. QT is written in C++ and GTK is C with GLib/GObject. I know you can write the bulk of a GTK program in Python; QT has QTScript (ecmascript) and some support for Python and Ruby, although I don't know if the majority of a QT program can be written with any of those. A XULRunner program will be larger (on disk and in memory) and slower than a GTK or QT program. A large, complex program will suffer less from this than a small or trivial program. XULRunner make the most sense if you are going to be rendering html or doing networking with your program anyway. It is worth noting that QT is a very complete framework, more so even than XULRunner, and it includes QTWebkit. In the just released QT 4.5, the Webkit is close to the version used in the new Safari 4 betas. GTK is more loosely joined, with many parts run as separate but allied projects (e.g. Pango, the text engine), and in some cases there are several projects that might fill a need, with none really official.
