gpg finds no secret key when logging remotely after upgrade to stretch

2017-07-11 Thread Ricardo Yanez
My gpg key works just fine in a gnome-terminal when I'm logged in via
the gnome display manager. New in stretch is that gnome now pops a
windows for me to give the passphrase, which is really nice, but not so
good if I'm remotely logged-in via SSH. Then I get the disturbing error,

 gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
 gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

It turns out, when I'm still logged-in via the display manager, the
passphrase prompt pops up locally. I have to force-logout gnome and kill
gpg-agent to be able to run gpg remotely, and even so, the gpg-agent
pops a sort of text window. It seems the terminal emulator cannot tell
the difference.

Is there a way to instruct gpg to request the passphrase in the
old-fashioned way, in the terminal, when logged-in remotely via SSH?

Thanks,
Ricardo



Re: gnome terminal not running in GNOME 3 Jessie - total disaster

Unimaginable! I reinstalled GNOME3, xorg, started from scratch, short of
reformatting the disk and NO.

In xterm,

$ gnome-terminal
Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process
org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8

This bug is described extensively in

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746415

I do have UTF-8,

$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8

LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

and yet I get the error.

I'm falling back to good old trustworthy wheezy.

 Folks,

 I upgraded to jessie a few moments ago and I cannot run gnome-terminal.
 What's up?

 I ran root-terminal and it broke my desktop completely. What's up?

 Thanks

 Asunto: Backup Remoto


 Buenas noches:

 Tengo una necesidad, en mi trabajo me piden mandar un backup de datos
 de un servidor debian a otro de otra sucursal y se me está
 complicando.

 El escenario es el siguiente, en el servidor de la sucursal A tengo un
 directorio de 140Gb que se actualiza dia a dia con los archivos que se
 agregan y modifican ese dia. Se hace un backup incremental de esos
 archivos nuevos, sin borrar lo que se fue borrando de cada maquina en
 un directorio oculto. Ahora me piden que ese directorio lo mande a
 otra sucursal.

 Yo pensaba comprimirlo con tar y enviarlo a la madrugada, una vez y
 luego hacer copias incrementales de ese mismo tar y enviarlas
 semanalmente.

 El tema es que no se me ocurre como hacerlo y no se que va a pasar la
 primera vez, ya que no debe ser muy facil pasar un archivo de 100 gb
 por internet. No tengo NADA de experiencia en esto y no hay
 administrador de sistemas, me arreglo yo como puedo con todo.

 No quiero que nadie me haga el trabajo, solamente que me den ideas
 para investigar y asi poder armar los scripts.

 El backup local que se hace a diario ya lo tengo y funciona perfecto.
 La linea para comprimir el directorio de backup la tengo (tar -Pvuf
 backup.tar /directorio-de-backup-local).

 Lo que me falta saber es si una vez que tenga el primer backup hecho,
 puedo copiar los archivos nuevos y modificados en un archivo
 diferente, es decir, por primera vez hago el tar y me queda en el
 archivo backup-completo.tar.gz y luego hago una copia incremental en
 archivo-ddmm.tar.gz, asi lo que envio a la otra sucursal es este
 ultimo archivo semanal y no todo de nuevo cada vez.

 ¿Estoy en lo correcto?

 Gracias  a quien me pueda dar una mano desde ya.

 saludos

 Juan

Blurry X11 fonts in Lenny after update

2008-01-04 Thread Ricardo Yanez

I recently updated my laptop running lenny and the X11 fonts became
blurry, kind of clumsy looking. The GNOME appearence preferences do
nothing. I use XOrg, the standard 100dpi xfonts, ATI Radeon card with
the fglrx driver, just stardard stuff. I installed xfs to see if it
helps, but not.

This is the second time I encounter this problem. The last time was when
upgrading from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper. I could never solve the problem,
and after much cursing I went back to sarge. Few seem to have seen this
problem, and it's perhaps related to the graphics card, but it's
certainly related to a xserver-xorg update in lenny. I saw this problem
right after the update and reboot.

Has anybody seen this? Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Ricardo

My Seamonkey window now shows two more lines of text because the menubar
text is smaller.

Why would the display size of the fonts change?

  
Because gnome was upgraded and the default font on the new version is 
10.  Preferences - Appearance - Fonts, and set your defaults to 12.





Well, if I do that the fonts are huge, then I have to decrease the 
resolution, to about 65 dpi to get them to a sensible size, but again, 
nothing really improves.

OK, found the problem. It's the fglrx driver. Switched to the ati driver 
and things are back to normal. I guess this card is now supported by the 
ati driver (didn't used to.)


The graphics card is,

no motd regeneration

How can one suppress regeneration of /etc/motd in etch?

The old EDITMOTD varible in /etc/default/rcS is no longer used for this
purpose.

Re: ntp and dynamic IP

2005-06-30 Thread Ricardo Yanez

 my ISP disconnects me once a day, so that I won't keep a quasi-static IP
 I don't pay for. Now, pppd reconnects swiftly, but ntp doesn't seem to
 like this anyway. Soon after the dis-/reconnect I get this:

 Feb  9 13:15:01 zwerg ntpd[4732]: sendto(192.53.103.104): Invalid argument
 Feb  9 13:15:07 zwerg ntpd[4732]: sendto(130.149.17.21): Invalid argument
 Feb  9 13:16:08 zwerg ntpd[4732]: sendto(195.145.119.188): Invalid argument
 Feb  9 14:41:27 zwerg ntpd[4732]: synchronisation lost

 As it will never recover, I resorted to restarting ntp every day. But
 surely, there's a more elegant solution. Or is there?

Hi,
An elegant (I think) way of solving this is to 
put scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-[up|down].d/ to stop 
and start ntpd when pppd reconnects.

My /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ntp-server simply says,

-
#!/bin/sh

[ -x /usr/sbin/ntpd ] || exit 0

echo Stopping NTP server
/etc/init.d/ntp-server stop
-

and my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ntp-server,

-
#!/bin/sh

[ -x /usr/sbin/ntpd ] || exit 0

echo Starting NTP server
/etc/init.d/ntp-server start
-

Just make sure these scrips are executable (755).

Ricardo
