Hello,
why did you not use something as backup2l ?

Hi,

My working data is in a directory we can refer to as A. A is on a
removable flash store.  "du -hs /home/me/A" reports 3.0G.  I want a
reliable backup of most files A/*.

I created a directory "Backup" on the HDD and apply this shell
function whenever motivated.

Backup() { \
   if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
 echo "Too many arguments.";
   else
 echo "0 or 1 arguments are OK.";
 source="/home/me/A/*";
 echo "source is $source.";
 if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
   echo "0 arguments is OK.";
   destination=/home/me/Backup;
   echo "destination is $destination.";
 else
   echo "1 argument is OK.";
   destination=/home/me/$1;
   echo "destination is $destination.";
 fi;
   echo "Executing sync and rsync.";
   sync;
   rsync \
   --exclude='Trap*' \
   --exclude='*.mp3' \
   --exclude='*.mp4' \
   -auv $source $destination ;
  /bin/ls -ld $destination/MailMessages;
  printf "du -hs $destination => ";
  du -hs $destination;
   fi;
}

When the flash store fails, work since the last execution of Backup
can be lost.

In case the Backup directory on the HDD is lost or I want to see an
old file not current in A, I want backups of Backup.  This function is
applied every week or two to write to a DVD.

FilesToDVD () { \
   printf "Insert open or new DVD-R.";
   read t;
   startPath=$PWD;
   echo "startPath is $startPath";
   source=/home/me/Backup;
   echo "source is $source";
   cd $source;
   xorriso -for_backup -dev /dev/sr0 \
   -update_r . / \
   -commit \
   -toc -check_md5 failure -- \
   -eject all ;
   cd $startPath ;
   echo "  xorriso -dev /dev/sr0 -toc";
   echo "  mount -o sbsector=nn  /dev/sr0 /mnt/iso"; }
   
Finding a file as it existed months or years ago can be tedious.  For

example, find A/MailMessages as it was at 2023.02.07.  Otherwise the
backup system works well.

Now I have a pair of 500 GB external USB drives.  Large compared to my
working data of ~3 GB.  Please suggest improvements to my backup
system by exploiting these drives.  I can imagine a complete copy of A
onto an external drive for each backup; but with most files in A not
changing during the backup interval, that is inefficient.

Thanks,... Peter E.

- how fast does new data come in, and how long do you need to

After an internet search I found one responder who suggested that 'the issue 
might be in the configuration of your gpg-agent'.  So I checked the contents of 
the gpg-agent.conf file.  There were only two lines:

default-cache-ttl 300
max-cache-ttl 99

At this point I ran command gpg-agent which returned 'gpg-agent running and 
available'.

Another responder said that running the following two commands worked for him:

pkill gpg-agent
gpg-agent --pinentry-program=/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 --daemon

Before running those two commands I found that I had the following pinentries:

/etc/alternatives/pinentry*
/usr/bin/pinentry-curses*
/usr/bin/pinentry-tgt*
/etc/alternatives/pinentry-x11*

I then ran those two commands twice, for -curses and -tgt.  It may have worked 
for him but did not for me.

I finally tried to add to the gpg-agent.conf file the second of those two 
commands, also twice, but before trying to decrypt an *anc file I ran file 
pkill gpg-agent.  That arrangement did not work either.  By now I had run out 
of suggestions.

I would consequently appreciate any advice as to how to decrypt my *.anc files.

By the way, I was able to run from an Xterm in succession the commands gpg -k 
and -K, which -- without the use of any passkey -- returned information about 
my public and secret keys in succession.

Other maybe useful information: I am using Bullseye and had added to my file 
.bashrc the following two lines:

GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

Information et amélioration a propos de LMDE 5

[jerome]

Bonjour,

Toujours, je tiens à remercier toute l'équipe qui contribue au
développement de linux mint version debian (paquets).
J'apprécie énormément cette distribution. Elle est à la fois, stable,
légère, simple d'utilisation pour un débutant linux, rapide en
fonctionnement.
Surtout, continuez svp a développer cette version debian linux mint. Elle
est génial.
J'aime bien aussi le fait de pouvoir créer très simplement des lanceurs de
programme depuis le clic droit sur le bureau. Une fenêtre s'ouvre et on a
plus qu'à choisir le programme et de cocher ou non le choix de lancer le
terminal ou pas. Cette fonction est génial également. Elle n'existe pas sur
vos '' concurrents'' comme Ubuntu et compagnie.
Je reste donc sur mint debian. 
Maintenant, je trouve dommage qu'il n'existe pas de documents PDF ou de
manuel en ligne qui explique en détail comment on procède à installer Linux
mint debian sur un disque en choisissant l'option ''autre chose '', pour
faire concrètement un pationnement de disque dur adéquat et opérationnel
pour faire l'installation.
Comment partionner, la taille, etc ... pour faire une partition efi, swap ,
home .
Bref du concret.
J'ai réussi à installer LMDE sur un disque dur externe, car j'ai une
machine windaube  avec un disque aux partions non modifiable, non
accessible, en mbr. Donc pas compatible avec le nouveau bios et le format
gpt.
Bref, une notice aurait aider et simplifier.
A part ceci,  nickel le LMDE.
La version debian 11 pure en revanche est compliqué pour un débutant,
concernant l'installation encore une fois (choix mode installation ''autre
chose'' ) et les pilotes a installer ou a télécharger manuellement etc.

C'est pour cela que je préfère LMDE.
Continuez donc svp a développer  et à améliorer cette version.
Mille merci encore.
Amicalement

Re: Resize partitions ext4 /LVM

Merci bien Hamster. Je ne savais pas pour l'hibernation et la
compression a la volee...
L usage c est du dev principalement avec pas mal de docker (donc il faut un
var plus gros) et du java (donc il faut de la RAM)
Pour le swap il ne va pas swapper du tout juste hiberner en bon laptop!!!
Pour le home 300Go ou 400Go c est pareil c est enorme!!! pas besoin de tout
cela
Mais la question interessante a ete posee : pkoi LVM ? he bien parce que je
voulais tenter mais mal joue...
Je vais encore tout casser saucissoner comme je veux et cela sera top...
Je laisse 20Go comme la RAM et pas plus pour le swap...

C est parti pour re-peter la machine ...J ai le week-end pour le faire

1 - la config via l installateur en CLI est assez tricky au niveau LVM je
trouve
2 - c est un portable ancien et son usage est assez clair dans ma tete il

jupyter-qtconsole, turtle, and Xfce: unresponsive turtle console

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello Debian Users,

I am playing with jupyter-qtconsole in Xfce. Debian is Debain version 11.4.
When I launch a turple from the jupyter-qtconsole, I get a turtle console as 
expected.
And I can move the turtle around. However, when I switch to another workspace 
and
then come back to the workspace having the turtle console, it appears that the 
turtle
console is unresponsive: the frame is present, but the inside contain random 
stuff
from other workspaces.
When I do the same directly from python3, the turtle console behaves as 
expected.

How can we fix this issue ?

The python3 code is:

import turtle
bob=turtle.Turtle() ## here a turtle console pop up
bob.fd(100) ## and so forth.


Thanks in advance,
best wishes,
Jerome

New users have gid 100 set as their primary group by default.  So, new

This might be specific to your installation.
Usually users have by default their own group.

If this program doesn't work under bullseye, but is known to work under
buster, then I see three main courses of action from which you might
choose:

1) Buy a new computer, install buster on it, and use gview on this.


you can also consider a remote computer.



2) Install buster inside a chroot, or a virtual machine, or some other
virtual layering technology, on your bullseye computer.  Run gview
within the virtual buster environment.


This looks the best solution here (for short and long term):
https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot



3) Reinstall buster instead of bullseye on your current machine.



4) dual boot: Buster / Bulleye (but heavy, so to avoid).



Once you've restored your ability to do your work, *then* you can try
to pursue long-term solutions so that you aren't stuck with a perpetual
out-of-date buster environment for this one program.

Wayland, with a "d".  This is also true for Debian 10 (buster).

Doing `academic poster' with a LaTeX package allow to share

Posters are usually a picture and some text.
It doesn't have to be like that but normally it is.
Do picture in Gimp, make transparent background if don't want in a box.
Scribus, make image frame, import image, fit image to frame.
make text box, write some text.

Hi, have you tried the basic xterm ?

Hi,

Once upgraded to the new system, I found that they would gather the same app in 
one tab.

Such as Xfce terminal all in one, I want them to be listed one by one, not to 
be degenerated into one.

Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry for the description, I don't know what 
is the best way to describe it.

Best regards, lina

Hi Lina,

This is a relatively new computer. Do you have the non-free AMD firmware

The packages you probably want are firmware-misc-nonfree and
firmware-linux-nonfree

Does the /etc/apt/sources.list file include entries for contrib and 
non-free?

What is the model of your video adapter: if I remember, you have an NVidia
card in there? [Nvidia GT730]. Optionally, you can install proprietary
Nvidia drivers -

Re: computer screen blink

Hi,
you may fist determine if it is a hardware issue or a software issue.
Some Mac screens are known to flicker after a while.
What is your computer ? Can you boot on Windows/MacOS to see if the same thing 
happens ?
Knowing your hardware may help a lot.

First things first: update your computer. Security fixes and fixes for
other problems come out all the time.

What Debian version are you running?

On what sort of computer?

Do you have screensavers or similar kicking in?

is there a temperature issue?

Are there logs?

A little more information would be helpful.

Currently there is no easy way to install Debian (or any Linux based

People are working on porting the Linux kernel on them, but it is not a one-day 
job.
As noticed on the Debian-User list, you must be more specific on what you 
really want to do:
technical terms are here important.

Estou voltando a utuilizar o Linux e escolhi o Debian para utilizar aqui na

1) Instalaei a versão 11 em um PC e rodo somente Linux neste PC

2) Sou programador pascal, desenvolvi um programa e gostaria que ao startar o 
Debian , este programa desenvolvido por mim abrisse em seguida na tela.

Encontrei alguma coisa na internet falando sobre

"Sessão de inicialização" . Porém não consegui chegar nessa tal de sessão..  se 
este for o caminho eu precisaria de um passo a passo.

Até porque simplismente instalei o Debian, mas não sei se para ter essa sessão 
disponível ficou faltando instalar algo.

Peço desculpas se não consegui transmitir minha dúvida de modo claro.

Se alguém puder me auxiliar, ficarei muito grato.

Re: LaTeX - Newer REVTEX on Debian ?

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello,

my guess was that the bbl must be updated. Namely,
compose with apsrev4-2.bst (or one among the others).
I would check which one is actually used in the aux or blg file,
and I would check which one is actually pickup with kpsewhich(1).
For instance, you can try from a terminal:

kpsewhich -progname bibtex apsrev4-2.bst

You can also try first to compose (with latexmk for example) the examples
provided by REVTeX in order to check your installation.

hth,
Jerome

Hi,

this looks as a bibtex issue: did you update the bst ?

Otherwise, did you try to compose out of TeX Studio, for instance with command

Bonjour a tous,
merci Etienne de cete reponse...
Alors OUI le souci n'est pas specifique a une distro il se produit pour
toutes les distros testees (environ 7 ou 8 avec des versions de kernel et
de packages linux-firmware differentes)
J'ai voulu teste GhostBSD mais la machine est recente et il ne boote pas
...-(
La carte Wifi est vue par le systeme avec lspci -nnk et le module essaie de
se charger Et juste avant l'update (jusqu'a Dimanche soir ou Lundi)
elle fonctionnait tres biem
Cela me parait etre du soft pur et dur 
Pour les numeros de version a noter que Garuda (Arch based)  n'indique pas
les memes mais ils sont errones et incoherents de la meme facon

Merci encore du coup de main... Je dois dire que je n'ai jamais ete
confronte a un souci aussi severe 
Encore merci

Re: Conseils pour le développement sur Debian d'applications natives Windows/Linux

[Jerome Flesch]

Bonjour,


Pour ma part je développe depuis quelques années un programme
cross-plateforme (Windows/Linux) en client lourd :
https://openpaper.work/ .

C'est du Python+GTK.

Python est un langage très plaisant à utiliser. Par contre, dès qu'on
utilise des librairies qui ne sont pas pure-Python, le packaging
devient vite très compliqué. L'utilisation des bindings
Gobject-introspection pour accéder à GTK n'améliore pas la situation.

Sous GNU/Linux, je distribue ça surtout sous forme de Flatpak[1][2].
Ça me permet notamment de faire du déploiement continu[3][4]. Ça pose
juste des problèmes d'accès aux scanners (et quelques autres
périphériques pour d'autres applis) :/.
Je le distribue aussi sous forme de paquets pip[5]. Les paquets
incluent une commande à lancer pour vérifier et installer les
dépendances qui ne peuvent pas être prises en charge par pip
(`paperwork-gtk chkdeps`). Mais c'est moins pratique pour les
utilisateurs, et ce n'est donc plus la méthode recommandée.
Avec le temps, de gentils mainteneurs de paquets ont fait des paquets
pour diverses distributions. Ça reste de loin la méthode la plus
simple pour les utilisateurs. Le défaut pour moi, c'est que je ne peux
pas faire de déploiement continu.

Sous Windows, j'avais étudié la possibilité de faire de la
cross-compilation, mais je n'ai pas retenu cette solution finalement.
J'ai buté sur les bindings GObject Introspection : Si j'ai bien
compris, le programme qui les génère (g-ir-scanner) a besoin de
tourner sur le même système que le systẽme cible.
De façon générale, dès qu'on utilise des librairies natives, la
cross-compilation risque de causer des problèmes. Il me semble que
pour cross-compiler des programmes Windows, la seule solution est
d'utiliser les librairies Wine (ne serait-ce que pour le linkage). Du
coup, c'est difficile d'être certain que le résultat fonctionnera de
façon fiable sur un vrai Windows.
Le même problème se pose pour les tests automatiques : On peut les
lancer avec Wine, mais il n'y a aucune garantie que le comportement
sera exactement le même que sur un vrai Windows.

Vu que j'utilise GTK, le plus simple que j'ai trouvé est d'utiliser
une VM Windows et MSYS2[6]. Dans MSYS2, j'utilise cx-freeze[7] pour
créer un exécutable Windows. Cx_freeze n'a pas l'air de gérer très
bien les bindings GObject-Introspection, donc j'ai dû bricoler un peu
pour que ça passe (ajout de dépendances manquées par Cx_freeze à la
main)[8].
L'exécutable est accompagné de plein de fichiers de données. J'en fait
donc un ZIP[9] et l'upload sur un object storage OVH. C'est
l'installateur NSIS[10][11] qui va le télécharger et l'extraire à
l'installation. Du coup il télécharge toujours la dernière version
construite par CI/CD (donc on est presque sur du CI/CD complet de bout
en bout).

Pour être honnête, je regrette d'avoir fait le portage à Windows de
mon application. Ça m'a pris énormément de temps (développement de
Pyinsane puis Libinsane pour accéder aux scanners sous Windows,
difficulté pour packager, bugs à la c*n, etc). Mais bon, le gros de la
difficulté est passé, et des gens s'en servent maintenant ...
En tout cas, je ne porterais pas mes prochaines applications à Windows.

Concernant Go, il ne me semble pas que Go intègre de librairie de GUI
par défaut. Ça m'étonnerait aussi fortement qu'il existe une librairie
en pure-Go cross-plateforme. Ça veut dire qu'il faut des bindings
coincoin sur Qt ou GTK. Ça sent les problèmes aussi tordus que ceux
que j'ai eu avec Python. De plus, je ne suis pas certain que
l'éco-système de librairies pour le desktop basé sur Go soit aussi
développé que celui de Python.

Pour les applications Javascript genre Électron, dans le cadre de mes
développements, je fais une allergie sévère au Javascript et aux
machins « web ». Je trouve le langage Javascript infect, et de mon
point de vue, cette approche est une rustine sur un problème qui
aurait déjà dû être réglé plus proprement il y a longtemps. De toute
façon, avec ça, je n'aurais sûrement pas pu accéder aux scanners.

Pour Flutter/Dart, je ne connais pas.

Au final, pour faire des GUI cross-plateformes, je me dis que
l'approche Java/Swing était peut-être la bonne.


Cordialement,

Bonjour,

En fait, il est reconnu, car lorsque l'on lance un scan, la "tête" fait
son aller / retour puis là il y a cette erreur:
error: SANE: Error during device I/O (code=9)
et le fichier généré est vide.

Je viens de refaire un test depuis une sid à jour ( depuis mon portable
) et idem; pourtant, les pilotes HPLIP sont les plus récents.



Bonjour,


Je développe une librairie de scan cross-platform appelée Libinsane[1]. 
Pendant le développement du support de Sane, j'ai remarqué que certains 
backends Sane (Epson[2], HP[3], ...), renvoient parfois une erreur I/O 
au lieu d'indiquer la fin du flux de papiers. Dans ton cas, tu n'as 
qu'un scanner à plat donc ce ne devrait pas poser problème, mais c'est 
peut-être un indice: Une théorie pourrait être qu'il ne détecte pas de 
papier dans le scanner.


Dans tout les cas, je serais intéressé si tu pouvais m'aider en 
complétant ma base de données de scanners[4]. Est-ce que tu accepterais 
de m'envoyer un rapport de test de scan avec l'outil IronScanner ? 
IronScanner est disponible ici: 
https://openpaper.work/scanner_db/#contribute . Comme tu es sous 
Stretch, le binaire pré-compilé ne fonctionnera probablement pas. Il te 
faudra suivre les instructions pour l'installer à partir des sources.
Avec ce rapport, qui sait, je pourrais peut-être te fournir des indices 
pour trouver la cause exacte de ton problème.

your sources.list  is sane.

Do you have any file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d' ?

PPA stuff is foreign to Debian: at one point some ubuntu material was introduce 
either by you
or somewhere else (in thsi case, it is a bug).
Ubuntu is build upon Debian, and bring its own stuff and policy. It is also 
more oriented

I would forget synpatic and use the command interface tools: aptidute(1), or 
better apt(1)
(along sudo  or as root). I am not a fan of graphical interfaces.

You are mixing Ubuntu with Debian here: we cannot install Ubuntu packages on 
Debian (and vice versa).
You have to choose either Debian or Ubuntu. If you want to play with ppa stuff, 
you must choose Ubuntu.
If you want to stick to Debian and install the PPA material, you may to 
consider to build your own Debian
packages from the Debian source that might be provided by PPA. This might be a 
fluid process or not.

Hello All,

I have just noticed that when I click on an hyperlink in a PDF then thunderbird 
shows up instead of firefox.
I guess it s related to the recent update of thunderbird.
What is the best way to fix this annoying issue ?

Thanks in advance,

I was refering to the long option --rsyncable of gzip(1).
So, in fact the keyword I was looking for is delta-transfer .

My understanding is that you play with the Sid distribution. This distribution 
is unstable by nature,
and its main purpose is to test and check new packages.
You should rather consider to install Buster which by now can be can considered 
quite stable.

[OT]Deverminer des doutes sur les limites d'un serveur

[jerome moliere]

Bonjour à tous,

ceci n'est pas spécifique à Debian mais propre à Linux globalement.

Sur des serveurs de  production très chargés on soupçonne des 
comportements erratiques de temps en temps avec probablement incriminées 
des limitations d'environnement (ulimit et autres)...


Ma question est de savoir si l'on peut activer une trace système lors du 
refus d'ouverture d'un fichier ou d'une socket par le kernel ? Quels 
autres outils utiliseriez vous ?


J'ai fait un petit script utilisant le pseudo filesystem /sys pour 
connaitre le nombre de file descriptors utilisés à l'instant t et l'on 
constate au moment d'incidents que ce nombre passe de 1800 environ à 200 
d'un seul coup...


Par avance merci pour vos suggestions

Cordialement

I understand that that all Debian users are not familiar with C,
hence the `even better' (that I understood as a possibility: `if you can do it 
(time+skill+...), please do it').
Anyway, good bug reports at the relevant place are better that complains at the 
wrong place.

I also understand that the issue with FireFox in Stable is recent (and came 
from security):
please give a chance to the involved maintainers to fix it.

The issue bother me too, BTW.

So you lose system availability. If you can stand this, then you don't
need availability.


Although swap going offline causing "a system crash" was a bit of an
overstatement. More likely, some user space applications would crash, 
allowing

a graceful system shutdown - once in 15 years or so.

What is of primary value of using RAID-1 for me is protecting my data

disk failures.

As for continuous system availability, yes I am willing to trade it a 
bit on a

non-critical system for better disk utilization and performance.


I understand that your use case does not require swap redundancy.
I hope that you also understand that other people may have stronger 
requirements and your statement about swap mirroring was wrong for 
them, thus wrong in general (what is not always right is wrong).

tried:
xdpyinfo now gives the expected resolution (220 dpi) and screen dimension.
Nevertheless, in the /v/l/Xorg.0.log, DIP is still set to 96 .

I switched to the Default-hdpi style.
BTW, is there any list of HiDPI compatible theme ?

I also  managed to get readable fonts for my xterm consoles, and gvim.

So far, I could not fix the size of the button/icons for gvim and evince:
any hint ?

HiDPI migration: desktop environment issue

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello, I am currently migrating to a HiDPI box (akda Retina box).

Since the arrival of GNOME3, I have used Xfce as an alternative to GNOME[2]:
I have been happy so far with this choice. Right now, I migrating to
a retina box: it appears, unfortunately, that Xfce support for HiDPI is low.
small (if not tiny) icons there, big fonts here; and so forth.
I have tried to fix it to stick to Xfce; after all Xfce is lightweight.
But the issue is that X is not yet ready to manage HiDPI properly:
a lot of tweaks are needed to get something almost readable.

I read that Cinnamon and MATE, both former clones of GNOME[2], have HiDPI in 
mind:
is there any other possibility ? which one is the best in terms of weight and 
HiDPI support ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

We can also add the prefix im- to each executable.
For instance, the tools coming with the nauty package are prefixed with nauty-
to avoid name collision.

Stretch: xfce and xscreensaver

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello Debian Users,

I have recently upgraded my box from Jessie to Stretch.
I encountered a few little issues that I could fixed easily.
Nevertheless, so far, I failed to fixed one of them, and a very annoying one.

During Xfce sessions, at random time my screen is filled with piece
of outdated images that were created by xscreensaver.
Most of the time, these images comes with an outdated error message from 
xscreensaver.

Any hint to fix is is welcome.

Thanks in advance,

It might be a configuration issue (even if I do not play with fonts).
Otherwise, any hint is welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Stretch: RUNPATH seems no more taken into account

Hi Again,

I migrated from Jessie to Stretch a few days ago.

I rebuilt it, but the issue remains.
Any idea ?

Debian Stretch Xfce: effective screeen bigger than the monitor screen

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello Forum,

I have recently migrated from Jessie to Stretch. I have a couple of minor 
issues.
One of them concern Xfce: some time my fingers seem to do a combination of keys
that magnifies the screen: I got a floating desktop environment that is lager
than my actual screen. Does any know the magic combination that leads to this 
state ?
And, more importantly, how can we go back to the normal state ?

One of the main issues with Mac computers are related to UEFI:
- it appears that grub 2 now deals rather well with it;
- old machines may not have a proper UEFI firmware: this may be a major
  different between your old MacBook-Pro and a recent iMac.

There is a Debian website dedicated to MacBookPro machines.
Ubuntu also provides information.

DVD/CD drives are disappearing monsters.
Anyway, netinstall may hold on a lot of USB stick and is now able to
manage efi boot (Jessie 8.3)

Re: sexist content in the package openclipart2-png

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello Fernando:

I am not sure that the debian-user forum is the best place for your message:
what I mean is that you may want to target better. The debian-user forum is 
meant
for end users who are not responsible for the content of the packages.

First, you may want to make a bugreport for the package asking to drop off 
these images
or to at least put them in a separate package with an explicit name (or 
something).
Second, you may address the issue to the debian-policy forum.

hth,
Jerome

 Right, but I meant all the other java alternatives. There are a bunch
 of them:
 
 ControlPanel, appletviewer, extcheck, idlj, jar, jarsigner, java,
 java-vm, javac, javadoc, javafxpackager, javah, javap, javaws, jcmd,
 jconsole, jdb, jexec, jhat, jinfo, jmc, jos, jrunscript, jsadebugd,
 jstat, jstatd, jvisualvm, keytool, the mozilla plugin which links to
 libnpip2.so, native2ascii, orbd, pack200, policytool, rmic, rmid,
 rmiregistry, schemagan, serialver, servertool, wsgen, wsimport, xjc.
 
 You made me look. :0  I didn't know half of these existed until I
 used that installer. It's just a script which will directly install
 Oracle Java FROM Oracle.

java-package allows to make Debian package Oracle Java from Oracle installers
through a bunch of scripts.
If all the proper alternatives are not set, it sounds as a bug.
I can hardly say whether or not all those alternatives are effectively needed
because I am not that familiar with java.


 Then after it sets everything right. I love
 it, as I am lazy and Andrew does a good job at it. Just a FYI, Ric

This kind of laziness is good, but sometime it is just better to favour Debian 
ways.
BTW, the Debian Java Maintainers does a good job as well.

Cheers,
Jerome

 If you're going to use Oracle Java, I would suggest this:

 http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-debian.html

   I've been using this for several years and it works flawlessly. The
 major problem people have is setting the alternatives correctly. This
 method does just that, in spades. There is a java version 8 as well,
 but I am staying with version 7 a bit longer. You will enjoy this!
 Plus, you get version updates automagically. It really doesn't get
 any better. I just tried your link, and it fired up the first time.

 Note that the Debian package java-package allows to create your own Oracle
 Java debbals.
 
 Will it set all the alternatives? That can be an major issue. Ric

The created debballs set up alternatives apparently: on my box:

mybox$ update-alternatives --display javaws

Bumblebee video projecteur

[jerome moliere]

Bonjour a tous,
je viens enfin de reussir a avoir un Bumblebee qui semble fonctionner sur
une Jessie de base AMD64.
optirun glxgears -info marche et ne me sort plus les problemes de driver

bbswitch marchee (je peux activer/desactiver/ requeter la carte NVidia)...
Par contre je veux anticiper l'usage d'un video projecteur ,donc j'ai teste
le branchement d'un noniteur VGA et la je n'arrive pas sortir le moindre
signal...
xrandr ne voit jamais d'autre sortie que le LDVS1 (pas plus que le widget
de GNOME de detection des DISPLAYs)
Ma question est donc :
comment faites vous pour video projeter avec une telle configuration?

Pour les details:
- debian Jessie a jour 64 bits (installee cette nuit en NetInstall)
- Thinkpad W530 avec une Nvidia K1000M

Wheezy: mouse middle button issue

[Jerome BENOIT]

Hello Forum !

Since a couple of day, the middle button of my magic mouse (USB)
has experienced a major issue: I can more copy/past or open-in-new-tab.
A deeper investigation with xev shows that button 2 is no more existing:
any idea ?

My box is a Wheezy box that is daily updated.

Cheers,
Jerome

 It pains me, especially at this Xmas time, to see this kind of
 un-helpful rebuke given without any sort of useful reply to the
 original query, or at least some pointer where the enquirer could
 find the answer, or help, in his own language.

It was not meant to be a rebuke, but rather to indicate that [s]he went on the 
wrong Forum.
In this sense, it is helpful. Otherwise, I cannot reply in Spanish.

 I was recently given a Mac Mini (Intel Mid 2007) that had been

 I tried to install Debian (Wheezy) on it, and the installer reported

 boot from the hard drive.

I would consider eject as a comfort at this stage.
The reboot issue is the real issue here.

 
 Googling finds me various pages about installing Linux where one of
 the steps is something like Boot into OSX

If you do not want a dual boot computer, forget this part and consider your box 
as
a regular box.

 
 Is there a way to install Debian/Linux on this machine that doesn't
 involve buying or borrowing (or borrowing) a copy of OSX? 

Take care as this model may be not be supported by last OS X.
You do not need it.

 Is it
 easier to install linux on a USB disk and run it off of that?
 
 Two particular subtasks that I may need to do that seem to require
 OSX: 1) Blessing a partition 2) Checking what version of firmware
 it has (some versions have BIOS compatibility)
 
 Any pointers/suggestions?

I will look towards a grub issue, specially if your partition is a gpt 
partition table.
For a gpt partition table, you must have a `bios grub' partition. 


 
 I'm also looking into PureDarwin as a possible solution.
 
Debian is definitely better, do not trust the folks on the PureDarwin forums.

Best wishes,
Jerome

 Ouch.
 
 I have not seen any extravagant claims on behalf of PureDarwin.  Mostly just 
 apologetic caveats that it's not quite yet ready for primetime.
 
 In any case, my interest in PureDarwin was primarily that it might have a 
 bless command and/or a way to query the firmware version.
 Other messages in this thread suggest that neither of these two things may be 
 fully necessary.

True.

 If you are using ifupdown you will likely be wanting to use a
 wpa-roam.conf in it. The Debian README for wpasupplicant is very
 detailed and helpful. Have a look at it and see whether you need
 to follow up on it here.
 
 

I already use this approach. The difficulty here is the coova login page.

Debian ,Bumblebee mon Lenovo W530

[jerome moliere]

Bonjour,
je sollicite votre aide car je suis en train de m'arracher mes dderniers
cheveux -) depuis 2 jours sur une configuration de Bumblebee avec un
systeme Optimus conjuguant une carte integree Intel  une Nvidia Quadro
K1000M .
Je m'interesse a cela car comme sur crertains portables , la sortie VGA
n'est cablee que sur la NVIDIA donc l'utilisation de la seule carte Intel
ne me permet pas de video projeter et c est tres dommage pour des
conferences...

J'ai pas mal lutte , a part des wikis Debian et Arch Linux et j'en suis au
dernier stade si je prends le sequencement d'un fichier Xorg.conf :
association entre un device et un display ... Apres cela , cela marcherait
mais loupe ca foire a ce niveau la
J'ai suivi les demarches:
- installl des paquets
- ajout de l'utilisateur au groupe bumblebee
- utilisation de update-alternatives non decrite chez Debian pour aller
choper la bonne lib et donc loader  le driver
- creation d'un fichier dans modprobe.d pour blacklister nouveau et aliaser
nvidia
- j'ai ajoute un element BusID pour referencer ma carte en utilisant lspci
et en tenant une ecriture en octal ou decimal 

Mais bon toujours est il que le lightdm de ma Semplice (basee sur Sid)
foire en lancant le serveur X , aucun device detecte !!!

Quelqu'un a t'il reussi a faire fonctionner une config de  ce type ?
Cette machine marche tres bien et j'ai un signal video sur mon moniteur de
test sans aucun effort sous Ubuntu mais je ne peux pas me resigner a passer
sous Buntu juste pour cela...

Par avance merci.La je ne sais plus du tout quoi faire

Bonjour a tous,
je m'inscris dans le fil pour partager votre avis meme si certains ici ont
de droles d'opinions (c'est leur droit de le plus absolu) mais je suis
etonne de voir critiquer Lenovo et encenser HP car c'est a l'oppose de mon
experience...
Keynux a ete cite ici , quels sont vos retours sur ces machines?Notamment
la qualite du clavier et le support materiel offert par cette societe,
j'avais hesite entre un Keynux et un X201 a l'epoque mais je ne crois pas
pouvoir regretter mon choixA prix sensiblement egal pour une machine
haut de gamme environ 2000 euros ,Lenovo m'avait donne entiere
satisfaction
Mais bon choisir ces composants c est cool comme au bon vieux de Dell..qui
a arrete pour raison de profit evidemment...
merci
Jerome

Sid based distro: paquets casses

[jerome moliere]

Bonjour a tous,
je viens d'installer une Semplice sur une machine, je fais un apt-get
update et je tente un upgrade mais impossible il y a de nombreux paquets
casses (dont perrlapi-5.18-1)...
Il y a t'il quelque chose a faire autre qu'attendre que ces problemes
soient resolus?
J'ai tente un autre mirror mais la synchro est faite toutes les 2h je
crois..
Vos suggestions sont les bienvenues .
