How to change the console font?
I used to be able to change the console font with a GUI program. But I have forgotten how to do that. Console setup doesn't do it, I don't know what that does. Can anybody help me out here? Hugo (Sid)

Selecting text
Hi, I usually select pieces of text on the screen running X with the mouse by pointing to it and then dragging to where the end is. The piece will turn blue. Then cntrl+c will copy the piece to the clipboard and cntrl+v will paste it. I now have a strange situation that on one system running Stretch + Sid the piece of text does not turn color when selecting it. Anybody know what to do in that case? Hugo

If the only difference is the SSD why do you suspect the graphics card at all? What exactly is the problem, is it something that is specific to Google Chrome? I'm sorry for the faulty reasoning Sven. I do not suspect the graphics card, but have doubts about nouveau. This is the first time with nouveau on the SSD. I was there before, but with NVidia closed source drivers and I don't remember these sort of problems. But Felix has given a good idea to see whether nouveau is at fault. I only use Google-Chrome and it sometimes puts up a screen when an application does not respond anymore and asks whether they should wait longer or kill it now. In this case I was getting those screens very frequently so that the browser was unusable. Also there were screens that the plugin had become unresponsive, should that be killed. I never see those on the HD502HJ's. Hugo

Firefox-esr 45.0.2 works for me in Jessie using a G98, but I'm not using either the nouveau or nvidia Xorg drivers. With neither installed, Xorg wants to automatically use the modeset driver, which in Sid is integral to the Xorg server. If your WM/DE doesn't depend on 3D support from the driver, you could try uninstalling the nouveau driver to rule it out as a cause of the errors. That is a great idea. I had not thought of that.

Try running LC_ALL=C. The solution to every audio problem is not purging pulseaudio. Have you looked at the software in question? It depends on libc6 and three libraries. Installing the package doesn't alter anything as there are no maintainer scripts run. Purging it does not mute previosly unmuted channels (as shown by alsamixer). Installing pocketsphinx and now having non-working audio are unrelated. It is possible, is it not, that pocketshinx mutes something by default and hasn't unmuted it? Only in the sense that it is possible there are fairies at the bottom of my garden. :) :-) More seriously: the OP never ran the program. The installation-purging cycle is easy enough for anyone to carry out and observe the effect on the audio system. My test was on a machine without pulseaudio. The result was negative.

Re: Render lag/delay on Testing
Jonas Lippuner wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Debian users, Ever since the xserver on Debian Testing was upgraded to 1.16 (and after the issue with the lacking Nvidia driver was fixed), I've been having rendering issues. Sometimes (it randomly comes and goes), some windows or content of windows experience a big delay (seconds) with being redrawn or updated with new information. Often the window would just sit there unchanged until I move the mouse a bit or resize the window to force it to redraw. Other times, the effect of a keyboard command, say A, is not shown until the next keyboard command, say B, but then the effect of A is shown while the effect of B only becomes visible after yet another command. Here is a concrete example: I open www.google.com in Iceweasel. I press F6 to highlight the text in the address bar, but nothing appears to happen. If I now start typing, I will actually type in the address bar, but the window did not redraw to show that the address bar is highlighted. So the command was correctly registered, but the window was not redrawn to show this. If instead of typing something I press F6 again, then the focus moves to the Google search box in the background (and if I now started typing, I would type in the search box), but the window is now redrawn showing the address bar highlighted, so the window is updated with the previous state that is now no longer valid. This is extremely annoying and I have not been able to determine why/how this is happening or how to fix it. I was also not successful at finding any info online about other people experiencing the same issue. I have the xserver 1.16, the proprietary nvidia-driver 340.24 package, xfce4 (4.10.1) and lightdm (1.10.1). I don't even know in which of these packages the bug is... Is anybody else experience such rendering problems or does anybody have any idea what might be going on? Well, I run Sid but the same xserver and nvidia-driver 340.24 from upstream and I notice none of those problems so I doubt it is those 2.

Re: Setting up wordpress on wheezy using the debian packages?
Rick Thomas wrote: Can someone point me at step-by-step instructions for going from sudo aptitude install wordpress on a freshly scrubbed, newly installed Wheezy system to a working wordpress website on the same machine? I've read the README.Debian in /usr/share/doc/wordpress/ and the stuff in examples/ but they are just hints, I think. I've googled till I'm blue in the face, but all I find is people who insist on installing wordpress from the downloadable tarball at the wordpress development site and ignore the debian package entirely. I'd much rather do things the Debian way. Somebody must have done it, I would think -- or what's the point of having a Debian package in the first place? If you have, can you share your recipe? In 2004 I set up WP on this system using the upstream tarball, exactly because at that time I could not find step-by-step instructions using Debian.

Note that the mdadm arrays are being successfully assembled and I can see them if I cat /proc/mdstat. the root= argument in grub is a UUID of a mdadm RAID1 array. This host's boot part is a RAID1, and the root part is a RAID5. This is standard PC desktop hardware with four disk drives upon which the md RAIDs are built. The host has been dist-upgraded as of this time. Advice appreciated. Otherwise, I'll file a bug on it. try 'rootdelay=5' (w/o quotes) as bootparam.

This resulted in some problems. Currently the system produces a segmentation fault when trying to install packages. For example: # dpkg-reconfigure debconf Segmentation fault # dpkg -i debconf_1.5.49_all.deb (Reading database ... 387854 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace debconf 1.5.49 (using debconf_1.5.49_all.deb) ... Unpacking replacement debconf ... Setting up debconf (1.5.49) ... dpkg: error processing debconf (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Segmentation fault) Errors were encountered while processing: debconf Of course the segfault makes it difficult to make any forward progress with dpkg. dpkg is up to date Sid version 1.17.1. But almost all other packages are older revs from previous days of Sid. I tried downgrading dpkg to the version in Wheezy but the result was the same. Thought before I did extreme things that I would ask here in case someone already hit this in Sid sometime between a few months ago and now? If so what was the solution? My guess would be an incomplete or otherwise screwed-up Perl transition (dpkg-reconfigure is a Perl script and debconf's postinst calls a bunch of Perl scripts as well). Check the status of the Perl packages on your friend's machine, here is what I have on up-to-date Sid/amd64: $ dpkg -l perl\* libperl\* | awk '/^ii/{print $2,$3}' libperl4-corelibs-perl 0.003-1 libperl5.18 5.18.1-4 perl 5.18.1-4 perl-base 5.18.1-4 perl-doc 5.18.1-4 perl-modules 5.18.1-4 perl-tk 1:804.031-1+b1 perlmagick 8:6.7.7.10-6 Other than that, I can only say that I cannot recall having any problems with my Sid system in recent months, even though upgrading all packages that can be upgraded is how I start almost every day. I get fewer Perl hits with an uptodate Sid: hugo@hdbb:/sdc1$ dpkg -l perl\* libperl\* | awk '/^ii/{print $2,$3}' + dpkg -l 'perl*' 'libperl*' + awk '/^ii/{print $2,$3}' libperl4-corelibs-perl 0.003-1 perl 5.18.1-4 perl-base 5.18.1-4 perl-modules 5.18.1-4 Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
