Where you saw the information?
I suggest to use app password instead of real password. It also easy to 
identify if the apps we use misbehave and grant specific permissions.

Sid - Retrieving bug reports taking time so long

2021-12-04 Thread Robbi Nespu
I am using SID and I want to update my system (via apt update && apt 
upgrade) and normally apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges will help me to 
get bug-list to be review before I proceed for installation, but somehow 
it hung-up

Something wrong here?

Since, I don't care much if my system crash how can I ignore bug check?

Re: zoom client for bullseye

2021-08-29 Thread Robbi Nespu
Last time (that time bullseye still on testing release) I tried with 
they official deb, I getting dependencies issues too.. trying with 
"apt-get -f install" solve the installation but somehow when I using it, 
it hang...and sometimes I can't close my camera properly.


Then I switched to snap version. It work fine until now so I just gonna 
stick using snap version but honestly, I don't recommend you to use snap 
package because of it disturbing for someone who really care about 
bandwidth, permission to run and storage size. It will be the last 
options for me..


Maybe you want to read my snap configuration adjustment[1]

Upgrade testing to unstable but debian_version and os-release not changing to sid

2021-08-16 Thread Robbi Nespu
I have been using debian testing (bullseye) for 1 year (plus) and I want 
to use sid as my daily driver.


I change source.list to sid
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

do the update and upgrade ...

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo reboot

when booted, I checked systemd os-release and debian release still on 
bullseye codename


$ cat /etc/debian_version
11.0

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support";

Hurmm.. that is unexpected, are this is normal or did I missed something?

Wiki Debian "Release page" should have template (Was Re: Buster no release file)

I was going to link you to the DebianBuster wiki page where I had put

You can thank the person who goes by the name PaulWise for making your
Debian wiki a less informative and less useful place.

I *REALLY* and truly hate assholes like that.



I don't agree calling someone asshole but I  agree with Greg in-term of 
sometimes someone make Debian Wiki less informative and less useful.


This is great example, this is what I see what happening on the time line..

Timeline 1: Greg put useful information 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuster?action=diff&rev1=21&rev2=22


Timeline 2: PaulWise revert the changes as he comment is as unnecessary 
changes https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuster?action=diff&rev1=21&rev2=23


On timeline 1 and 2, The class issue are Greg added useful information 
and PaulWise remove it / revert it  (to me it likely want to tidy up and 
make it uniform like others "Debian Release" pages)


Both have own perspective and good attention.

Wiki are great in term of collective information but quite really-ugly 
on deciding which "information" should be put here and which should 
not.. worst, there is no template to follow as far I check. Plus, I 
can't found how to create template on Debian Wiki.


So.. Greg and Paul have clash on something important here. (Too be 
honest, I wish Debian move to Wiki with pull-request approval type 
rather just who-ever have Wiki approved account can do change)


The best solution and improvement are to send report to bug list as 
wishlist's to have a standard template for this "Debian Release" pages 
and this template should have standard sources.list or a link to 
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList (this wiki page also need 
improvement, IMHO)


I send out this email first. So I can have a link to attach on my report 
bug later. Will replying this thread later with report bugs number, I 
hope this will be useful to prevent issue like this.

How to create dictionary and spell checker for my locale language (Malay) ?

2021-06-22 Thread Robbi Nespu

Hello Debian!

TLDR; How I can generate my own dictionary and spell checker file?

I from Malaysia, we use Malay (Bahasa Melayu) as our primary language 
but we don't mind using English for user-interface of software and 
communication. I think most of us are comfortable with English because 
direct Malays translation maybe awkward a bits but of course I encourage 
Malays (Ms) translation (I do translation too, btw).


That is OK for user-interface but when comes to document such as 
dissertation, paperwork, report which we use word-processing such as 
LibreOffice and so..we really want dictionary and spellchecker to 
validate what we typed and fix typos right away..


Checking around, I found there is few contribution made by some people 
but that distribute dictionary and affix file, but it not been update 
quite long time.


I wonder how their build and test the files? It must be using some 
tools. I contacted them to ask, but not getting response..could be their 
not use the email anymore or already left this world.


On my research, I found most of people using Myspell long time ago, and 
mostly now are using Hunspell and there is new tool called Nuspell too, 
but I don't understand how to use it. Where you I put my new keyword? 
Can anyone guide me? Correct me if this is not the tool for what I am 
looking for.


Looking at English hunspell package by debian, it look like it have some 
pattern and unfortunately I don't understand it but thanks to Nuspell 
manual wiki, I able to understand it


$ head /usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff

As end user, no body care much about it but now I care because I want to 
implement Malay words on it and generate the dictionary and affix file.


I know, it take time to have a good size of file to be useful, but I 
might spend few hour when I free and someone maybe can continue my work.


I have plan to put it on debian package too. Since I have experience 
with debian packaging. So I take a look on most hunspell package on debian.


$ ls /usr/share/hunspell/ -la
total 860
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   4096 Feb 26 00:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 381 root root  12288 Jun 14 22:09 ..

-rw-r--r--   1 root root 859956 Mar  1  2020 en_US.dic

I don't have hunspell installed but I have hunspell-en-us

$ apt-cache policy hunspell hunspell-en-us
hunspell:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.7.0-3
  Version table:
 1.7.0-3 500
500 http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
hunspell-en-us:

500 http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian bullseye/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

which mean, I can just check hunspell-en-us package but on 
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hunspell-en-us and 
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=hunspell-en-us 
it said version 20070829-* but I have 1:2019.10.06-1 installed. Not sure 
why it look like this.


Anyway, I still can see the code dump on 
https://sources.debian.org/src/hunspell-en-us/20070829-7/ (it would be 
nice, if I can see it on salsa), and I am right. It quite simple to 
package and upstream source only need aff and dic file. I see a light 
for packaging part.


It only, I don't see how should I generate this file? or It really just 
a plaintext and no need a tool to generate it.


To be honest, I might be lost interest if I am clueless to much, but I 
posted here hoping to get some information and maybe useful for someone 
like me who have same purpose.

It's not really an upgrade. It's more a switch in priorities. However to 
answer your question directly, as root do either


     sed -i -s 's/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

or

     sed -i -s 's/stable/testing/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

depending on how your source.list file refers to the current stable 
distribution.


After that, do

     apt update
     apt full-upgrade
     apt autoremove

then reboot.




I like this way, it easier and i don't need to open file and change it 
manually.

Subject: Debian Presence on Freenode

Hello everyone,

as you may know, Debians official IRC presence moved from Freenode to
OFTC 15 years ago. Freenode still had a lively community of users
remaining and the #debian channel was pretty active too.

As of today, this is no longer true. Debians IRC presence continues to
be on OFTC and we have a nice growing community on the new Libera.Chat
network, but anything on Freenode is neither official Debian supported
nor endorsed. Quite the contrary, we urge anyone to drop their
connections to freenode and join us in safer, more trustworthy places.
Anything on Freenode that looks like Debian is to be considered
unofficial, not supported and generally hostile.

For those not closely following the events that lead us to this: A
hostile takeover with an entirely new set of staff, most of which we
would not accept as members in Debian, happened. Over the last weeks
they have acted irrationally taking over many other communities channels
and groups. Today that new staff made it worse and decided to drop *all*
nick and channel registrations, forcibly taking control over many of
those "in their new part of freenode".

So, again: You are best of disconnecting from Freenode, if you haven't
already, and join us on OFTC or Libera.


For the new Libera.Chat network, we established a group registration and
will also hand out Debian cloaks to members again. Please open an issue
in our new Salsa project, if you want one:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-irc-team/libera-cloak

(Please be patient, we will group them together and try not overwhelming
Libera Staff with too many small requests).


Many thanks to the #debian ops team who have spent the last 3 weeks
setting up channels on irc.libera.chat and walking on eggshells trying
to siphon off users from freenode to safer places while avoiding getting
k:lined by the new staff of freenode for doing so. Most of them aren't
DDs but spend huge numbers of hours looking after our community for us.



I am not DD or DM but do Debian user are eligible to claim this cloak?

how to let smartmontool / smartd ignore specific hard disk?

2021-05-30 Thread Robbi Nespu

Hello Debian user,
As per title, I want SMART to ignore my /dev/sdb

Using default conf, I append "/dev/sdb -d ignore" as what I read here[1]

$ tail /etc/smartd.conf
#\  Line continuation character
# Attribute ID is a decimal integer 1 <= ID <= 255
# except for -C and -U, where ID = 0 turns them off.
# All but -d, -m and -M Directives are only implemented for ATA devices
#
# If the test string DEVICESCAN is the first uncommented text
# then smartd will scan for devices.
# DEVICESCAN may be followed by any desired Directives
#
/dev/sdb -d ignore

my full conf file are attached if you want to see the whole file

After change it, I restart 2 services which are smartmontools.service 
and smartd.service but checking the status (from systemctl) seem it 
still checking..


I reboot and check the status again. It still there

https://paste.debian.net/1199449

Could you spot what I missed and guide me? Thanks in advance

I also foggy what when wrong here. But you may issue the problem on 
upstream here https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse , it 
also have wiki for some reference there.


As I see there is 2 useful command, which are

$ google-drive-ocamlfuse -cc # to clear the cache
$ google-drive-ocamlfuse -debug mountpoint #  turn on debug logging

and 1 directory located on ~/.gdfuse/default may contain something 
interesting for bug reporting


Anyway, it not much of Debian related, try find some help with upstream.

I don't think you can find some help from you distro, because it already 
dead long time ago, check here 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives/2014/04/msg9.html and 
https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/PureOS and

Why not take a backup and switch to Debian? :)

Since you using KDE, you may check 
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/kio-gdrive


Check and try to understand https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian 
because I understand most people using Debian derivatives tend to use 
PPA and actually it not encourage and may break your Debian



Likely, upstream google-drive-ocamlfuse seem have clash on licensing too.

If you going to switch to Debian, you may use the unofficial image 
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/ 
which already include non-free firmware.

Hi all,

Some of my most useful software is only available through Ubuntu PPA's .

The man page alludes to a couple of different ways to bypass the system

dozen files that could be involved. Further, there is a note that 
basically says that all of the methods will be discontinued in the

example given is for an elmer-csc package which is one of the most 
powerful opensource MultiPhysics analysis packages available.


Could someone show me how to bypass this security lock.

Boot better have mounted on root or /boot ?

2021-04-07 Thread Robbi Nespu



I use auto partitioning (if not mistaken) and boot mounted on root "/" 
instead of creating own "/boot" partition


$ df -h /boot/

/dev/sda1   110G   62G   43G  60% /

What actually the best way for boot directory? put on same root

Hello,

Later this week, I will be helping a friend install Debian onto a Lenovo 
Ideapad Laptop.  This will be in a Public Space with, only WiFi available.


Both his Lenovo, and my HP Laptop have the same WiFi hardware, found via 
a "lspci" command:


 > Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723DE 
802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter


So, to ensure that we can complete the Install, I wanted to test, using, 
first a Debian Bullseye Netinst CD and, when it failed, a Debian Buster 
10.3 NetInst CD.


In both cases, I used my favorite, Text / Expert Install (but also tried 
Bullseye with the "normal" Text Install).  it gets to the step, to find, 
and configure the Network, but only finds the Ethernet Port which, for 
the purposes of my test, has no Cable attached.  So, obviously, the 
Network Configuration fails!


I was ready for it to Find the WiFi, and had, in advance, populated the 
/firmware directory of a USB Thumbdrive, but it never gets to the step, 
where it is asking for it.


Any Insights?

Thanks in advance!

I suggest you to dig a little deeper, because there is a possibility a hardware 
problem is the source of inconsistency error.
You need to provide us with more information about your OS setup and hardware.
Output from these commands should be a good start:
$ cat /etc/fstab
$ sudo blkid
$ sudo smartctl -iHA /dev/sda
$ sudo smartctl -iHA /dev/sdb

"smartctl" is a tool from "smartmontools" package.
The output will be long, so you can post it at "https://paste.debian.net/"; with 
reasonable expiration date and send us just a link to it.


OK here comes the output:

Well, that's the nature of the beast, and what backups are for.
Was your fsck successful? Can you now read the files on the disk?
the fsck are successful, not sure every files inside are readable or

If so, I would work on getting them backed up, but not necessarily
trusting their contents. Older files may need checking against
previously backed-up versions. Newer one may need their contents
checking for corruption.

Then ask yourself why you're using NTFS on this disk, and whether
it might be better to adopt a different filesystem. For myself,
I only use NTFS readonly, for reading disks written on Windows.


This partition actually created on windows 8. That time I only use 
windows and later on, I do dual boot but I keep the NTFS since I know 
Linux can access NTFS but windows not so I can reboot later to windows 
if I need to use proprietary tools such vs studio, illustrator, movie 
editor.


Later on, I just use Linux and lazy to change this partition to ext4 
because I think, If I need the data inside, I can just took it out from 
this machine and plug, read it on windows machine.

The easiest way to do so is to delete the partition and create a new one, but

fsck error on boot: /dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY and Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary

2021-03-18 Thread Robbi Nespu



While doing my homework using  LibreOffice, suddenly it crash and hung.
then I execute "glance" to check system status but the program crash 
with debut log said my /tmp not available...


that so weird. I execute df -h and my drive are there. "ls /tmp" also 
work but writing anything not working, then I realize my system file 
become read only!


I reboot the computer and saw the reboot process said "ignoring 
read-only"..when the computer boot-up, all I see is a black terminal 
said " fsck error on boot: /dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck 
MANUALLY"


I execute "fsck -fy /dev/sda1" and it say fixing the issue.

What happen actully? Are my hdd suddenly got issue? I installed debian 
using netinst with standard utilities only and install 
"kde-plasma-desktop plasma-nm", as I want minimal KDE on my linux box.


I worried I might missing some package for hdd and sdd maintainance (coz 
I doing minimal install previously)


Question: Can you suggest what package should I install?

Note : Linux installed on sdb (ext4) and sda is a NTFS file system and

I don't want my SSD or HDD died suddenly

$ uname -a
Linux debian 5.10.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.19-1 (2021-03-02) x86_64 
GNU/Linux


$ cat /etc/os-release | grep Debian
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"

sdb <-- linux installed , ext4 partition
sda <-- just to store personal file, ntfs partition (mounted when 
necessary only)



fdisk output also said "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector 
boundary." on my sda1


Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes

But I guess, it safe to ignore since this is cause by Western Digital 
use Advanced Format of 4096 bytes per physical sector instead of the 
older 512 bytes/sector and that is a feature. Am I right?

Re: How to self-load non-freeware firmware on existing netinst ISO installer [SOLVED]

2021-02-25 Thread Robbi Nespu

I found out a nice solution (thanks David Wright for the hint!), simply:

1. download and save the firmware to root of our debian installer USB
2. Boot USB
3. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to spawn busybox terminal
4. execute this command

# /bin/mountmedia
# cp -ir /media/YOUR_FIRMWARE_FILE_HERE.ucode /lib/firmware
# /bin/unmount
# exit

5. Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to continue GUI installation..and surprise! Debian 
installer driver will load the firmware, so you can use WIFI and 
continue installation process


Done!

P/s : Thus "unmount" script is to release our USB media and let debian 
installer mount it later automatically, if you forgot to umount, this 
trick won't worked. All of this script is standard, no need to customize 
the installer.

   stick.

It doesn't matter where I put right (on root location)? or need to have 
special directory?



3. Boot and change to console 2: ALT-F2.

4. Mount the partition holding the firmware on /mnt.

This is tricky part as I mentioned, I only have one partition. Where I 
can find my USB device location? try with `dh` command but that command 
not working/available



5. Create /lib/firmware: mkdir /lib/firmware and transfer the
   firmware there.

6. ALT-F1 to go back to d-i. d-i should now find the firmware.
You suggestion look like the most closest one, just need to find the 
perfect way how to accomplish it

I also thinking to go this way but there could be another better 
solution to load the firmware at the beginning of installation (which is 
the most prefer solution) since I have ucode precompiled binary from 
Intel with me, let use it but I don't know how modify the installer or 
how to re-create the installer.

How to self-load non-freeware firmware on existing netinst ISO installer

2021-02-24 Thread Robbi Nespu
I have another laptop which dual boot with Fedora and Windows10, it is not
my primary laptop since 9 months ago and I haven't used it since then. I
plan to fully install Debian testing on this machine because this laptop
has dual graphic cards (optimus) and theoretically, with Debian 11 (or
newer), special configuration shouldn't be needed and offloading should be
available as soon as you've installed the proprietary drivers[1]. This
machine has a faulty LAN port and only 1 of 3 USB ports are usable. So I
can only use 1 USB per time and only WIFI for the network connection.

Since Debian provides an unofficial netinst image for i386/amd64/powerpc
with the non-free firmware, I go and download the ISO[2] and make a
bootable USB installer.

But when I during the installation process (on "detect network hardware"
phase),   debian-installer dialog  asked me to load 2 firmware which is
iwIwifi-2030-6.ucode and  iwIwifi-2030-5.ucode  .. I feel perplexed about
this. So I checked the USB, it already have the firmware but with deb
package format:

/firmware/firmware-iwlwifi_20201218-3_all.deb
/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_20201218-3_all.deb

Seems this firmware load on the next stage which is after network setup and
after do the partitioning stuff. I wonder why, since this is netinst I need
network working from the during installation process, not after that.

Question :
a) Is it possible to do self modification on the installation script so the
wifi chip will be available and working during the installation process so
I can pull the packages that I want during installation from Debian mirror.
If yes, how and if no, please suggest me some solutions that don't need me
to fix LAN port, buy cable and router (since I use wifi hotspot from my
phone)

The precompile firmware are available here[3] and here[4]

TLDR; I want  firmware-iwlwifi  already loaded and working during Debian
installation phase, not after install.

is a timely example of how Debian deals with such problems.
Note in particular the line

 stretch (security) 1.8.19p1-2.1+deb9u3 fixed

showing that stretch's version gets a fix, not an upgrade.


How you can confirm 1.8.19p1-2.1+deb9u3 fix CVE-2021-3156?

I could not see source code for that version here[1], I only can find 
1.8.19p1-2.1+deb9u2 . Do source repository for security release are 
separated?

Yes, this is the email title. Sorry for long title.

If wait the current testing become stable and the current stable become 
old-stable. It will take very longer and the serious exploit wont be 
fix, if I take your sentence. It not what I understand and what I expect 
from Debian release since it recommend stable release for production.

The CVE is major bug and need security fix if you read my sentence 
previous.


It mentioned here[1] "At any given time, there is one stable release of 
Debian, which has the support of the Debian security team. When a new 
stable version is released, the security team will usually cover the 
previous version for a year or so, while they also cover the new/current 
version. Only stable is recommended for production use."


If I understand, It mean Buster (the current stable release) has the 
support of Debian security team and previous version (which mean stretch 
release), here. I expecting the fix also should be apply on stable. 
Please correct me if I read it wrong.

2021-01-28 Thread Robbi Nespu

Hello everyone,
I am curious something (as per title). I not sure whether to ask here or 
on devel mail list.


Yesterday on OFTC #debian, some guy ask about unfix CVE-2020-25681 to 
CVE-2020-25687 for dnsmasq[1] package on stable release.


I not using dnsmasq but I curious how and will it be backport to stable 
on cases like this?


Stable = 2.80-1 (vulnerable)
Testing = 2.83-1 (fix)
Unstable = 2.84-1 (fix)

There is 2 revision gap between stable and testing, do the security team 
will apply the fixes on 2.80-1 or will update the package rev up to 2.83-1?

The reason is, why the sender need to use "TO" to original sender /

In another case, maybe someone not subscriber but try to help or ask for 
help directly but Debian additional CoC said "Do not quote messages that

I prepared ASCII table for comparison matrix here[1] have a look, I 
could paste the table here since it may look broken on your email client.


What I wish is to add one more additional code of conduct which 
something like "Do not send or reply email with CC mailing list, instead

communicate is coming from mail list" (need better sentences)


Let me know what do you think about it.

Re: Debian WSL

Updating should be exactly the same: the critical thing is that the kernel 
remains the one provided by Microsoft, I think, and doesn't update from Debian.
Thank for the information. I never know kernel on WSL are provided by 
microsoft.



Why podman particularly? Is this because you must be compatible with Red Hat
somewhere?
Podman just like docker but no need to give root access to daemon 
(docker) and podman are daemonless. Yes, you are right, I compatible and 
familiar with fedora way. I have bad experience with docker so, I try to 
avoid using it. So I prefer podman.



Essentially, you're running containers on virtualisation on virtualisation. [Podman 
-> WSL2 -> HyperV shim -> Windows] so performance may
not be great. Fine for a trial but probably not ideal for heavier use. Find a
Linux box somewhere, maybe.
I use for trial only. Seem (already upgrade to bulleye and install 
podman) much better do it like this, in term of battery usage. I tried 
with linux on vm before but it use lot of battery in background. So I'm 
okey with this setup.



Hope this helps, all the very best

Andy C.


Thank you Andy

Debian WSL

2021-01-18 Thread Robbi Nespu

Hello,

I installed Debian WSL on my windows.. here some details

~$ uname -a
Linux PC 4.4.0-18362-Microsoft #1049-Microsoft Thu Aug 14 12:01:00 PST 
2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux


~$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.5

But sadly there is no podman package on Buster repos, it also mentioned 
on https://podman.io/getting-started/installation that podman only 
available on Debian Testing/Bullseye or Unstable/Sid


I know upgrading normal installed Debian is easy. But ... Will it break 
current WSL when windows store push update and I need to re-setup again too?


Or it better just keep using the current branch provided only (using 
podman from Kubic project)?


If you have experience similar like me. Could you give some feedback?

Thanks in advance.
