Audacity: display broken
Hello, After a while, I wanted to edit some audio files with audacity. Unfortunately, it is impossible because the display is broken: The Menus work, but that's about it. The waveform display is never updated, nor are the various meters. I have not found any hint that someone besides me is experiencing these issues :/ So it might be something about my setup. But that shouldn't be so special: Its a Lenovo T570 with debian testing. I started audacity in i3 (my usual wm) and xfce4 (just in case) but got the same results. That's the setup: ii audacity 2.3.3-1 amd64fast, cross-platform audio editor ii audacity-data 2.3.3-1 all fast, cross-platform audio editor (data) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) [ 34018.801] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so [ 34018.801] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 34018.801]compiled for 1.20.4, module version = 2.99.917 [ 34018.801]Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 34018.801]ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 24.0 [ 34018.801] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, GM45, 4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43 [ 34018.801] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics [ 34018.801] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics [ 34018.801] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Pro Graphics [ 34018.802] (II) intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 20190822 Can anyone replicate my problem?

Re: Giveaway-Laptop: sending system mails
Hi Reco,

That was the hint I needed :) Thanks a lot! I sometimes read the files
in /usr/share/doc/${PACKAGE}, but not often enough, it seems.
Now I have a working E-Mail setup and the guy who got the computer is
happy with it. He doesn't even know he's using Linux instead of window$

Re: No sound with Pulseaudio
Hello [...] I can not get any sound and in Pavucontrol I can only see a virtual sound output. Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem? I had the same experience for (almost) every new or old installation that I made. Fresh install of testing or stable, never mind: each time, Sound didn't work from scratch with Pulseaudio. I deinstalled it, and voila, everything worked fine. There is only one exception and that's my home theatre/gaming PC. I don't remember the details now, but to get kodi run along with steam nicely, I hat to get Pulseaudio to work. And in /this/ case, the PA tools were a blessing because I could very easily switch between a 7.2 and a 5.1 setup. That was necessary, because one game crashed with 7.2 臘 So whenever I do a fresh installation now, I check if Pulseaudio works and if not I immediately uninstall it. It's usually not worth the hassle. cu -- Markus Grunwald https://www.the-grue.de/~markus/markus_grunwald.gpg signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Giveaway-Laptop: sending system mails
Dear List Participants, An elder friend of mine uses his 10 year old Sony Vayo with Windows 7 mainly for browsing the net, homebanking, E-Mails. Due to several reasons, I want to give him a Laptop with Debian Linux that I will support. Several things should work to keep my active involvement low. One of the basics is: I want to get mails whenever "something" happens. I think that msmtp is the right tool for me, but correct me if I'm wrong, please. But, there is a problem: I have to put the plain mail password in /etc/msmtprc, because the normal user won't be there to unlock a gpg file or give msmtp the password in any other way. That means, I want /etc/msmtprc to be only readable by root (440). But then, users other than root (nobody maybe?) won't be able to send mails... I wonder if that could be solved in a better way? I don't want to miss anything from unattended-upgrades or logcheck or apt-listchanges... I would love to get your thoughts on that. -- Markus Grunwald https://www.the-grue.de/~markus/markus_grunwald.gpg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Gnucash broken after Update
Hi, a few days ago, I ran an apt update of my debian/desting machine and got a new gnucash version. Apt DID tell me that there was something to do to keep gnucash working. I had no time to do that, then, but I was used to getting the instructions per e-mail. But at the time my e-mail setup was broken and I didn't notice. Bummer. Now I need to use gnucash and online banking is completely broken. I searched everywhere, found the hint in /usr/share/doc/aqbanking-tools/README.keyfile-update, but that didn't help... I /think/ the message had something to do with moved configuration files for gnucash, but am not sure. Do you have any hint for me? I urgendly need gnucash for my homebanking...

Why does sound encoded with mencoder crackle in debian stretch but not in buster?
I'm transcoding some TV Series with mencoder. I wrote a script where the core is: mencoder 1.ts -o 1.avi -passlogfile /tmp/tmp.VQ6WZm1tSo/pass.log -demuxer lavf -nosub -vf softskip,harddup -aspect 16:9 -aid 0 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=128 -ovc x264 -x264encopts pass=1:bitrate=800:nointerlaced:force_cfr:frameref=3:mixed_refs:bframes=4:b_adapt=2:b_pyramid=normal:weight_b:weightp=1:direct_pred=auto:aq_mode=1:me=umh:me_range=16:subq=7:nombtree:psy_rd=0.8,0.2:chroma_me:trellis=1:cabac:deblock:8x8dct:partitions=p8x8,b8x8,i8x8,i4x4:nofast_pskip:nodct_decimate:threads=auto:keyint=250:keyint_min=25 This is probably the only interesting part for this post: -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=128 I wrote that script on my laptop, a debian buster machine. Everything is fine here. But when I let the script run on the machine where all the recordings are stored (a debian stretch machine), the sound is disturbed. Some kind of ~6Hz crackle. Video is ok. IMHO it has to do with some different version of a binary or library. That's why I tried it with different audio encoder: -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=medium Still the same. The versions for mencoder differ a tiny bit on both machines: ii mencoder 2:1.3.0-6amd64MPlayer's Movie Encoder ii mencoder 2:1.3.0-8+b4 amd64MPlayer's Movie Encoder But the differences seem quite minor: https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/m/mplayer/mplayer_1.3.0-8_changelog Any ideas how I get that working on the stretch machine? -- Markus Grunwald https://www.the-grue.de/~markus/markus_grunwald.gpg

Dovecot and zlib: Mails arrive compressed
Hello,
to save some precious space on my server, I wanted to enable zlib
compression in dovecot. I followed these instructions:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib
The relevant parts of my dovecot.conf
protocol imap {
# Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space
separated
# list of plugins to load.
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_zlib
...
}
plugin {
# Used by both the Sieve plugin and the ManageSieve protocol
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
zlib_save_level = 6 # 1...9
zlib_save = gz # gz or bz2
}
protocol lda {
# Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space
separated
# list of plugins to load.
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve zlib
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules
...
}
doveconf -n showed no error, I restarted dovecot.
Now when I receive a new mail, it is compressed - but it stays
compressed :( Meaning: It arrives in Thunderbird, but it's not readable.
If I look at the mail sources in Thunderbird, it looks like zlib
compressed text...
What have I missed?

How to use Debian for a HTPC/Gaming combination?
Hello, Currently, I'm using libreelec as distribution for the HTPC in my home cinema. It does its job very good, but is inflexible. For example, I would like to use the same computer as a steam machine or to play other games using wine or, of course, native linux games which is not possible witch libreelec. To do that, I would like to use Debian. I know, use and administer Debian machines since potato and I think its flexibility is great. In fact, I only used libreelec because it had a driver for the quite new nvidia graphics card and Debian didn't - at least not in last summer. Now I've seen that Debian supports my graphics card and I would like to start my HTPC/Gaming PC from scratch. What I would like to have: - Very quick (and maybe beautiful, for the WAF ;) ) start up. - No surplus services. - Some minimal window manager - Boot to Kodi (or Steam) and easy switch to the other. I know that Linux is not the optimal gaming OS. Never mind. There is a good bit idealism involved :) Now, I could get this running, but I never installed a Debian machine with focus on the first two items. I hope to get your help and advice especially on the quick and lean start up. Any further Ideas are greatly appreciated ;) As I said, some amount of Idealism is involved. So advice like "use windows" or maybe "use another Linux distribution" will not be very helpful. Oh, by the way: the hardware is more or less fixed for now, and it is old (except for the SSD and the Graphics card). So no monster performance for the games, but it does the HTPC job excellently. But I will upgrade the machine in the future. Yet, I think the exact hardware spec is not so important for this topic... Let's see, how far we get and thanks for your input! cu -- Markus Grunwald http://www.the-grue.de/~markus/markus_grunwald.gpg

Migrate an old debian to a new machine
Hello, For 10 Years, I've been working with my trusted old T61 (still with "IBM" logo...). Now I'm waiting for a new T570. The last migrations of my Debian installations were just dd'ing a full disk image from machine OLD to NEW and then resize the partitions with gparted (I hate new installations... something's lost every time.) These migrations were always done on BIOS machines. I have almost no experience with UEFI. Now my question is: will this work with the new machine as well? Or do I have to do something else because of UEFI (or something else that's different on a modern T570)?

Nitrokey: OpenPGP card not working

Tuning boot time of my server
Hello, just for sports, I tried to minimise the boot time of my server, which is running systemd. I have one mayor blocker: % systemd-analyze blame 10.746s srv-share-backup.mount 10.258s nfs-kernel-server.service 3.311s mysql.service 1.444s apache2.service 1.344s epgd.service 1.012s privoxy.service /srv/share/backup lives on a Western Digital WD RED, and this device takes ages to spin up. So I'd rather /not/ spin this disk, if it is not necessary - which it isn't. That's why I've set up an automount unit for it. Now I don't understand why it is mounted on booting. /srv/share/backup is exported via NFS, which might be the reason for the slow nfs-kernel-server.service. But I have other exports on WD REDs as well, and they are not mounted while booting. So why is srv-share-backup.mount started at boot-time? It's not wanted or directly enabled: % find /etc/systemd -type l -iname \*.mount /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.requires/-.mount /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/boot.mount /etc/systemd/system/dev-disk-by\x2duuid-10ad4727\x2d658c\x2d4559\x2d90b3\x2dfd966f8dbf96.device.wants/boot.mount Can you give me a hint?

Creating (and using) a swapfile is easy, no problem in Jessie: sudo mkswap /swap.0 sudo swapon /swap.0 grep swap /etc/fstab /swap.0 swapswapdefaults0 > Swap to a file is possible but IIRC hibernate to a file is not possible. It is. In fact, I do it on my machine. Configuring it is not so easy, but again: google is your friend. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, hibernating stopped working reliably here. I wrote to this list a few days ago, without any response :( So, hibernating to a swapfile (or a separate hibernation file) is possible, but it doesn't seem to be a good idea. I would recommend a swap partition. On my T61 with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD, I have a 5GB swapfile. As gparted works very reliably, misjudging the size of the partition is only a small problem... So I consider switching from swapfile to a swappartition. cu -- Markus Grunwald

Differences in gnome speed
Hello, my wife and me both use the gnome desktop environment of our up to date lenny system. When my wife starts her session, everything is up and working in a few seconds. When I log in, the login process takes much longer (about 20 seconds, more or less) and I have to wait ages when I click on the foot menu (or press Alt-F2) for the first time. After the first time, the menu opens quickly. The difference between my wife's and my session is that I have customized much more settings than my wife. Almost all she has done is changed the background picture and maybe the windowmanager theme and that's it. I have added some menu items to the foot some time ago, but later I have undone these changes. I would like to find out what I have done that my foot menu opens so slowly. Is there a way to wipe out all my menu customisations without loosing all the other gnome settings I've changed ?

libsane-extras: epson perfection 4490 PHOTO doesn't work on amd64
Hello, After making sure that the epson 4490 photo is supported by linux (debian package libsane-extras, epkowa backend) I bought this fine scanner. Works like a charm on ... you know ;) But on my debian lenny tp61 (Linux haktar 2.6.22.5gru #4 SMP Sun Nov 18 17:58:05 CET 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with 64 bit linux, I can't get the scanner to work. I followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/libsane-extras/README.Debian, added myself to the scanner group and tried scanimage -L, but the scanner didn't appear. lsusb shows the scanner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib$ lsusb | grep -i epson Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04b8:0119 Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 4490 Photo lshal shows something about the scanner, too, mainly that the device is located at /dev/bus/usb/002/003 I straced scanimage but didn't find anything special. Maybe I overlook something. All I see is that the firmware, located in /usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin isn't touched. Hmm I tried installing the packages from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html without success. I tried to compile the sources, but the frontend will compile only for IA32.

Re: Apt Pinning: Way of no return ?
What if I don't like kdevelop from unstable and want kdevelop from testing again ? How can I undo all the changes that may have been made while installing kdevelop from unstable ? AFAIK, remove kdvelop, change the pin, then reinstall it, or you can leave the pin and specify the specific version you want with apt-get. Doesn't sound bad. Any experiences from people who have already done this ?

Apt Pinning: Way of no return ?
Hello, As you might have read here, I have a little trouble getting kdevelop from unstable into testing. Apt pinning seems to be quite an easy solution. I read (among others) http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning, it looks quite easy. But as cautious admin, I still have one question (maybe I didn't exactly understand the man page ... ): What if I don't like kdevelop from unstable and want kdevelop from testing again ? How can I undo all the changes that may have been made while installing kdevelop from unstable ? Will a simple aptitude install -t testing kdevelop work ? I suspect I'll have to adjust /etc/apt/preferences ... Many thanks for your patience...

How to get newer kdevelop in my etch installation ?
Hello, currently, I have a problem with frozen etch: In mid november, I filed a bug report to kdevelop (the bug was about debugging problems) which was fixed at the end of january. Thanks to the maintainer for that ! But the bug is fixed in kdevelop 4:3.4.0-1 which won't come into etch (Quote from debian-release) : As this is a new minor upstream release, we will not unfreeze this package. Great. So I have a bugfix for a problem that really drives us crazy here but it won't come into the etch distribution. As I see it, I have these possibilities: 1) Don't insist on etch (stable). Just stay with testing and wait until testing isn't frozen anymore. I won't do this because of several reasons (takes too long, I don't want testing any more and so on ) 2) Use apt pinning. I have no experience with this. Won't that mean that in the long run I will draw the whole KDE stuff from testing into stable ? 3) Compile from source. Hmmm. No problem. Would (IMHO) mean to install lots of *-dev packages, but that's ok... 4) Anything I didn't think of... Now I'm sure that some people here have similar problems. What would you do, what advice can you give ?

Re: How to get newer kdevelop in my etch installation ?
Hello, 2) Use apt pinning. I have no experience with this. Won't that mean that in the long run I will draw the whole KDE stuff from testing into stable ? Actually, apt-pinning is a lot easier than you think. Just google apt-pinning and the first result should be a HowTo for apt-pinning. Ok, I'm just starting to read the howto(s). I still wonder what will happen on later upgrades, when kdevelop will depend on new kde libraries. As I understand it, they will come in, too. Of course, I could just hold kdevelop after I got it from unstable ...

Bug in cups-pdf or in samba ?
Hello,
I'm about to write a bug report to cups-pdf, yet I'm not really sure if it
is the right address. Do you know the following problem?
I use cups-pdf together with samba. cups-pdf works just fine on the linux
pc, but there is a problem, when the printer is accessed via samba. Since
the windows users have account names like markus.grunwald and the linux
server uses other names ( gru in my case ), I have to map the users with
the smbusers file. This works perfectly, except when using cups-pdf.
cups-pdf thinks, his ${USER} is the unmapped markus.grunwald, so that I
can't use ${HOME} or ${USER} for the pdf files.
Samba seems to do the right thing:
pc-cm-grunwald (172.17.5.34) connect to service PDF Drucker initially as
user gru (uid=510, gid=100) (pid 22585)
Do you have any comments or suggestions before I reportbug cups-pdf ?
Many thanks,
Markus Grunwald

Samba mountpoint hangs after server crash
Hello, We have some trouble with samba together with a flaky windows NT 4.0 Server: Quite often the server crashes and can't be reached again until it is rebooted. We mount some smb shares from that server and when the server crashes, we can't access the shares until root unmounts and remounts these shares. This is a bit annoying, since root is not always available and has better things to do then remounting smb shares ;) I know, the best thing would be to fix the server, but nobody maintains this old machine... Does the bug that is mentioned in the manpage Mounts sometimes stop working. ... strike here ? I don't think so, because the mountpoint doesn't stop just like that, but because the server dies.

ddns : client 127.0.0.1 updating zone : update failed: 'name not in use' prerequisite not satisfied (YXDOMAIN)
Hello, I am somewhat new to the dhcp/dns combination so I hope you can help me a bit with something that I don't understand. I have a server (named server - those of you who know the German C't magazine know the C't debian server distribution ) that serves dhcp and dns. So the clients ask dhcp for an IP address and tells dhcp to add their hostname to the dns. When a client asks for a hostname, dns knows the IP and can tell it to the clients. Am I right so far ? OK, now my problem is this: One client that I would like to name eddie is allmost never assigned the correct ip address in dns: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: nslookup eddie Server: 192.168.1.2 Address:192.168.1.2#53 Name: eddie.zuhause.xx Address: 192.168.1.80 Eddie: # ifconfig eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:10:4B:BB:98:95 inet Adresse:192.168.1.75 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Maske:255.255.0.0 Hmm :( I understand, that dns still has the assignment eddie==192.168.1.80. Even if dhcp tells it 192.168.1.75 wants to be named eddie, dns says But eddie has already the ip 192.168.1.80. So dhcp doesn't update the name. At least I read this from the error message: ddns : client 127.0.0.1 updating zone : update failed: 'name not in use' prerequisite not satisfied (YXDOMAIN) But what goes wrong here ? Shouldn't dhcp tell dns that 192.168.1.80 isn't valid any more when it assigns 192.168.1.75 to eddie ? What do I have to do to get it working correctly ? N.B.: I have another client, zaphod that doesn't have this problem...

kernel: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option (noauto|remount)
Hello, When I mount a smbfs share that has the noauto option, /var/log/messages shows this error: kernel: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noauto Something similar happens when I try to remount a smbfs share, s/noauto/remount/. I suspect this is because this paragraph from man mount: Mount options for smbfs [...] and the current version of mount (2.12) does not know anything about smbfs. Am I right ? What can I do if I don't want to mount a share at boottime ?

fhs: where to mount other PCs ?

Re: fhs: where to mount other PCs ?
Hello, acctually you can mount them anywhere you want. i bet /mnt or /home . just dont mount them to /etc or /sbin or something, that would be too weird... I know I can mount everything where I want -- technically speaking. But the sense of the fhs (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html) is that things are a bit more standard so that people can easier switch between distributions and find things easier on fhs compliant systems. In my example, the fhs says, that the /mnt directory should be used only for temporary mounts by root. To mount a cdrom drive on /mnt/cdrom is bad according to the fhs - /media is the right place. So I want to find the right place for my exchange shares ... cu Markus Grunwald -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Solved: In combination with cygwin: clipboard doesn't work
Hello, Since we changed it to debian some months ago, the clipboard exchange between windows and the x11 session doesn't work anymore.

So the solution is to change the line #KillInitClients=true to KillInitClients=false and restart gdm. Tadaa, clipboard wirks again :) Of course, this had nothing to do with the change SuSE - debian, but with the change xdm - gdm...

Further information about my system: Linux Kernel 2.4.18 cat /etc/debian_version testing/unstable My scsi host adapter: scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.4 Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs The cd writer I used with the example above: Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W1210S Rev: 1.02 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 (scsi0:A:4): 20.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 16) The other writer: Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W8220T Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 (scsi0:A:6): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8) I really hope you can help me.
