unattended-upgrades: What's happening when I put my system into sleep?
Hallo all, this is my first post here. Last week I installed Debian 8 for the first time (on my laptop, a Thinkpad T500). I am currently setting up automatic updates on my system. I noticed a systemd service (which got automatically enabled) called 'unattended-upgrades.service', which seems to take care of an unattended upgrade process being finished properly in case of a shutdown/reboot of the system. This is done via the python script /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattendedupgrade-shutdown. I'm wondering what's happening if I put my system to sleep (via suspend-to-RAM or via hibernation) during an unattended upgrade. I found /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_unattended-upgrades-hibernate -- but as far as I know (and tested), scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ are no longer executed with systemd. Now the right place would be /lib/systemd/systemd-sleep/ (correct me if I'm wrong) -- but that's empty. Have I missed something? Or is it simply not implemented at the moment? Maybe this would be worth fixing before unattended-upgrades are enabled by default, as discussed in this thread: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/11/msg00117.html Thanks!

Dovecot .deb install broken...
Greetings, I just tried to install Dovecot for the first time. It was on a virgin Ubuntu/Debian server (Version: 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu5) and the install failed. After a bit of struggling I worked out that the install fails BY DESIGN. Spoke about this with a few people and we decided it was best to report this issue and request that you redesign the packing so it does not fail. The reason it fails is as follows... When you install it asks you if you want to use self signed certificates. I have certificates so I said, "No". At the end of the install the script tries to start dovecot. It cannot because the service does not have certificates so it fails. This causes the script to abort and the other packages not to install and breaks the install process. I had to purge dovecot, then install it with the self signed certificates. So we have 2 issues here. 1. Why allow people to not install certificates if it is just going to break the install and confuse them. 2. Why are you starting the service right after install when dovecot clearly requires manual configuration as part of the setup. I recommend you resolve this by NOT starting the service as part of the install unless it is an upgrade and the service was already running. ~ Merlin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

.cdr (Corel Draw) in Linux
Hi Everyone, I need some enlightment (and the wm is not enougth). I have some .cdr files (from corel draw), that I need to open in Linux.

Re: Laser Printer
oix, I agree with Jeremy and Chris. Samsung is doing it well. I have a ML-2151N, and i'm already on my 4th 8000 pages toner (plus the initial 4000 pages one). The printer was really a good surprise to me. Mine have the extra of PS and Network, and that made it even easier to install, since it works as any other generic postscript lp print server, but I tried it on the paralel port and it worked very well with the drivers from samsung.com. themage On Friday 26 November 2004 16:44, Jeremy Turner wrote: > On Wed, Nov 24, 2004 at 09:03:52PM +, Chris Lale wrote: > > Samsung support Linux better than some.

workspaces problem
Hello, I am using Gnome 2.4, Kernel 2.4.24, libc-2.3.2.so; I recently updated my debian system from stable to testing. When I insert a Workspace Switcher (version 2.4.1) in a Panel initially only one workspace is shown; modifying the preferences during the session I can increase the number of workspaces and I save the new setup closing the session. But when I start a new session again only one workspace is shown. Any suggestion? Many thanks in advance, David Merlin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Installation
Hi ! Well first i need to explain what is a block device, To access diferent media (hard disk partitions, CDROM, Zip, Sound card...) Linux use block device, they are just like drive (c, d, e, ...) on DOS. So their are name which define media for programs and user. ex : hdxz (x is a letter and z a number, x is used to diference media and z for diferent partition on a Hard Disk) ttyz (z is a number) For you problem i sugest you to try entering '/dev/hdb/' when dselect ask you to enter the block device (remember to don't forget the CD).
