Same problem, my old HP printer worked fine with HPLIP but new HP printers
don't support HPLIP anymore. Finally I bought a Brother that I could
configure very easily with Bookworm. And if needed Brother provides Debian
packages for configuration.

thanks for your reply. Sorry for sending this useless email. I had forgotten
that I was no longer registered on the debian-user list and when I didn't get
a response to my message I realized it and I registered and resent my message.
I read the messages of those who answered me and I thank them. I was asking
for help because I tried to configure the HP Smart Tank 7006 printer but it
was impossible: HPLIP is not suitable, CUPS does not see the printer, avahi
does not either. The Linux driver for this printer is missing. Finally I
returned it and now I'm still looking ... I will think about what Van Snyder
wrote and look elsewhere than at HP ?
Thanks again to all four of you.

printer replacement

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
my old hp ptotosmart printer died. It worked fine with HPLIP. Now I have to
buy a new one but they all use "HP Smart" for Windows exclusively. I would
like to know if these printers are still compatible with HPLIP. The printer
I want to buy is the "HP OfficeJet Pro 8134e All-ine-One" which is linux
compatible according to the specifications but which is configurable with
"HP Smart" under Windows. Will HPLIP be valid for this printer also under
linux ? Otherwise how can it be configured ?

"Name or service not known" in Bookworm on Kubernetes

[Robin Gustafsson]

Hi,

I'm running Debian on Kubernetes using the official Docker images [1].

In Bookworm, attempted connections to some internal domains fail with
"Name or service not known". It works as expected in Bullseye.

DNS lookups with `dig` and `host` work as expected, but most programs, e.g.
`nc`, `telnet` and `curl`, fail. `getaddrinfo` fails to resolve the name
(returns -2).

The problem seems to occur only for domains managed by the DNS in the Kubernetes
cluster.

For example (with altered domain names):

root@debian12:/# nc -zv dev.example.com 443
nc: getaddrinfo for host "dev.example.com" port 443: Name or
service not known

root@debian12:/# dig dev.example.com

Connection to dev-nl.k8s-staging.example.com (10.100.57.247)
443 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

The configuration files /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/host.conf, /etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/hosts, and /etc/gai.conf are all identical in Bullseye and Bookworm, except
for one line in /etc/hosts with the containers' own IP and hostname.

I found no obviously interesting differences in the lists of installed packages
(other than newer versions of almost everything, of course).

It could be container/Kubernetes-specific. I don't have a similar DNS setup
elsewhere to reproduce it.

Any ideas about noteworthy differences between Bullseye and Bookworm w.r.t DNS,
or what to try next to figure it out?

Please CC me in replies.

Thank you for your reply. reinstalling fetchmail is not the solution
because on the next start the problem comes back and (I must be stupid)
because despite all the ideas you give me I cannot kill the background
process of fetchmail.
The solution: purge fetchmail and install getmail6.
Getmail6 works well, without complications.

Thanks again.

My problem is that I don't know what starts it.
If I knew what started it I might be able to prevent it from starting.
I never had this problem with bullseye.
Debian Bookworm (and Bullseye too) use systemd.

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
The commands 
 systemctl stop fetchmail.service
 systemctl disable fetchmail.service
doesn't work.
I had tried them before sending my message.
I had tried sudo kill -9 ... without success either.
Finally I purged and reinstalled fetchmail and now :
ps ax | grep fetchmail 

3566 pts/0S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto fetchmail

no more daemons in the background and I can load my posts with
fetchmail.
(in Bookworm)
The problem is that I don't know how to fix the problem if it
starts again without purging the package :(

No mail arrived since

I answered too quickly:
in fact when I restarted my laptop the problem returned.
By reading the link  https://wiki.debian.org/CpuFrequencyScaling more carefully
I understood that the laptop-mode-tools package was concerned and I noticed that
the laptop-mode-tools package is not installed in BUSTER and so I simply
uninstalled it in BULLSEYE and now it's really OK.

cpu frequence

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
the maximum frequency of my cpu is 2.8 GHz and under "bullseye" the frequency
of my cpu is always higher than 2.7 GHz. If this is a bug how can we determine
which package is affected ?
With "buster" on the same machine the problem does not occur. The cpu frequency
is between 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz

cpu: intel i5-6200U 
Base frequency: 2.3 GHz
Max Frequency: 2.8 GHz

I did not know that.

I read somewhere that the signed kernel was for the "secure boot" of 
microsoft and I have nothing of microsoft on my machine, so that's why 
I installed the unsigned kernel.

Thank you for your clarification.

kernel unsigned

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
In my BULLSEYE box, when i make "apt upgrade" if a new kernel is installed
it is a signed kernel that is installed, but on my machine it is an unsigned
kernel that I chose to install. How can you force "apt" to install the
unsigned kernel?
For example:
the kernel linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64-unsigned is the kernel used.
"apt upgrade" installs the kernel linux-image-5.2.0-3-amd64 (signed)

TIA

PS
sorry but I'm not subscribed to the list for now.

Ekiga has been removed as the last upstream release was in 2013, see:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ekiga
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1004860/removed-401-9-from-unstable/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911593
Most likely it won’t come back to Debian.  You might want to have a look
at alternatives, for example empathy.

Not sure where to report this issue...

[Robin Cook]

I am running debian sid and currently all video players the video freezes when 
I try to play a video.   Also the KDE desktop will freeze until I change to one 
of the virtual terminals with CTRL-ALT-F? and then back to KDE desktop with 
ALT-F7.  It will then work for a bit then freeze again.

mpv - freezes, both audio and video stop.
mplayer - freezes, video stops, audio continues.
xine - freezes, video stops, audio continues.

I have to use the kill command on them to close them.

On mpv if I use -vo= xv or x11 it will work all others (vdpau, opengl, sdl, 
vaapi) freeze except for drm which gets the below error

[vo/drm] VT_GETMODE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[vo/drm] Failed to set up VT switcher. Terminal switching will be unavailable.
[vo/drm] Cannot set CRTC: Permission denied
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (--vo) device.

Good diagnosis the problem is solved.
In stretch it was UTC and in jessie LOCAL

Thank you to all those who helped me.

Stretch changes the time of my laptop

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
I installed stretch on a external usb hard drive and when I boot on the
had drive and I shut down, then I boot again, but on the internal hard 
drive, with jessie, the time is delayed by one hour.

I would like to know if this is normal, and if not what can I do to fix
the problem ? (Without going into the bios or using date ...)

It's a old laptop acer aspire 5102 wlmi

DESKTOP_SESSION possibly not set correctly when using Cinnamon

[Robin Grindrod]

Hi,
While trying to install a script that detects which DE is being used by
reading the DESKTOP_SESSION environment variable on a system running
Cinnamon, I noticed it is set to "lightdm-xsession". This is causing the
script to fail as it expects the value to be "cinnamon". There has been
a similar bug raised for MATE here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775905
Is this also a bug in Cinnamon? Should I raise a bug report for it and
if so what package should the bug be on?
Thanks,
Robin

Thanks fort the link. 
I made a mistake , I meant roxterm not xterm, xterm works perfectly
under stretch.

Of course, unplugging the device from the USB port stops the crashing,
because the crashing starts when the device is plugged in to begin
with...

If "Linux" is programmed to use a particular area of memory that makes
it crash, then this is a software related issue, isn't it?

Isn't there a log file somewhere that can confirm what the problem is,
whether or not it is hardware related, or at least which package the
crash is related to?

Would that not mean that the same problem exists in other operating
systems as well? But seeing as it works fine to charge this old iPhone 4
in Windows, so it does not seem like a hardware malfunction in this
particular case.

Everything except the mouse just freezes, and no keyboard combination I
can think of helps. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Esc, Super+Esc, Ctrl
+Alt+Del... There is only one way out, and that's to hard-reboot
everything (which my harddrive doesn't seem to enjoy).

Do not know which package bug is in

[Robin Oberg]

Hi!

I'm new to Linux and Debian 8.3, but thought I'd help out by sharing
this bug that I've found. My system crashes randomly when my iPhone is
charging via USB, and every time that it happens I am forced to
hard-reboot the laptop by holding down the power button. I don't know
where in the system this bug could be located, what package it might be.
And that's apparently a required thing to do know when one is reporting
a bug.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Re: Re: live build

[Gerard ROBIN]

I got help from the debian-live list (chals)
the file auto/config must be :

#!/bin/sh

set -e

lb config noauto \
--architecture amd64 \
--bootappend-live "boot=live ip=frommedia persistence 
locales=fr_FR.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=fr" \
--archive-areas "main contrib non-free" \
--debug \

"${@}"

and in the file persistence.conf "/ union" gives global persistence.

ip=frommedia provides the persistence of /etc/network/interfaces

man live-boot for an explanation (thanks chals)

The problem with non-free miraculously disappeared ... ?

Re: Re: live build

[Gerard ROBIN]

thanks for your reply.
I read the documentation before posting, but this documentation
is outdated. after much testing I managed to get just about what I wanted.

if it can help those who want to try "live build" I put some guidelines
that work for me:

auto/config:

#!/bin/sh

set -e

lb config noauto \
--architecture amd64 \
--bootappend-live "boot=live config persistence locales=fr_FR.UTF-8 
keyboard-layouts=fr" \

deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib 

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib

config/papckage-lists/desktop.list.chroot
config/papckage-lists/firmware.list.chroot
.8<
config/papckage-lists/x11.list.chroot

in the files of the directory config/papckage-lists/  everyone puts what he 
wants.

for my part in the file desktop.list.chroot I put the packages for xfce4 and it 
works very well

for the persistence, the explanations are very vagueness :(

this file persistence.conf woks for me:

cat persistence.conf

/home
/usr union
/etc union

remaining problems:
I don't know how to make the directory network persistent ?
non-free in --archives-areas and prism2-usb-firmware-installer

you need to edit the file /etc/network/inerfaces 
for exemple like this:

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf managed
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-sccan-ssid 1
wpa-ssid FOO
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk keyofFOO

and once this is done as root :

ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
or 
systemctl restart networking

hplip-gui failed to connect my wireless printer HP

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
I installed jessie on a USB-drive and when I try to connect my printer 
using wifi with hplip-gui it works fine until the fourth stage but the 
fifth step fails. However on the same machine on the internal drive is 
installed wheezy and I configure the wireless connection (on the same 
printer) successfully.
I enclose a screenshot of the fifth stage. 

Is it a bug or a simple solution exist?

Ok, I got my feet wet : 

~# apt-get install  systemd-sysv

--8<--

You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

~# Yes, do as I say!

~# apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

and after that wheezy has booted like a charm. Luke

I agree with you regarding jessie, I installed it on a USB drive and 
it works fine with systend, but but what concerns me is the transition 
from sysvinit to systemd on wheezy. If I understand what I read on the
web (in English ...) it may be that my machine will not boot if I do 
not do the job well.

upgrade from wheezy to jessie

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
usually when the distribution changes, I update my system rather than 
reinstall everything. But for the transition from wheezy to jessie, 
I would like to know:

-1- Is it possible to go from wheezy to jessie, keeping sysvinit.

-2- if not, from what I read on the internet, go from sysvinit to
systemd is not without risk. What about it exactly?

(I would say that I am not concerned whether sytemd is better or 
worse than sysvinit. I'm not proficient enough ...)

libraries so that "configure" succeed, but in the end,  I needed to  install 
libjpeg62-turbo, and libjpeg62-turbo  wants to remove rezound.
No luck.
(I tried "audacity" but the recording quality is much better with rezound)

Regarding "twinkle", "linphone" can do the job but for my use I prefer 
"twinkle".
(but all things must end ...)

rezound, twinkle in jessie ?

[Gerard ROBIN]

Hello,
I installed jessie on a external hard drives, (usb) I use rezound and
twinkle which are in squeeze only. They work fine in jessie but the
command "apt-get dist-upgade" propose to me to remove five packages and
among them rezound and twinkle.
My question: rezound and twinkle are they doomed to disappear from debian ?

tia.

Debian system as an internet security gateway

[Robin Kipp]

Hi list,
I’ve got an embedded computer (Soekris Net6501) that I’d like to setup as a 
router / firewall system and small application server running Debian 7.
As for the router part, I’m already familiar with most services I’ll need (DHCP 
+ DNS server and iptables routing). This should provide me with a working 
internet gateway capable of doing NAT and port forwarding.
The box has 4 ethernet ports. 3 of those will be used as LAN connections, and 
the 4th will be the WAN connection straight to the cable modem.
However, I also intend to use this as a hardware firewall. So, it should be 
possible to somehow analyse web traffic such as HTTP for malicious code, such 
as viruses being downloaded to connected Windows machines. I know this can be 
done on individual files / folders using ClamAV, or even for things like mail 
using appropriate plugins. But is it also possible to scan web traffic in this 
manner? If so, what packages do I require?
Also, it would be nice to have some kind of intrusion detection in place so 
that I know what is going on. I’ve heard of Snort before, however I have never 
used it… Is this a good tool to work with or are there other (better) methods 
out there?
That’s it for now, I guess implementing those things for starters should 
provide a good basic security level for a home network! :-)
Thanks for any replies / help.
All the best,
Robin

Synaptic, I think, defaults to Smart Upgrade, the equivalent is
apt-get  dist-upgrade.
Man apt-get for the full details

Sorry my mail was a bit terse. I was referring to whether a DM is more

Fix information:

Aurelien Jarno wrote:


For already broken systems like yours, here is a procedure to fix it. On
a rescue system, change to the root directory of the system to be fixed.
- make sure ldconfig won't be run anymore:
ln -sf /bin/true lib/ldconfig
- point the symlink to the correct libc version:
ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl-2.18.so lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  note that the version 2.18 might have to be adjusted depending on the
  libc currently installed on your system

Then reboot on the system and run the following commands:
- remove libc6-amd64:
apt-get remove libc6-amd64
- reinstall and/or upgrade at least libc6 and libc-bin:
apt-get --reinstall libc6 libc-bin

Valgrind was working here up to late last year but now valgrind has
stopped working with the error message:

The package you need to install is called On Debian, Ubuntu:
  libc6-dbg

I have installed various versions of valgrind from snapshot.debian
going back to early 2013,  plus built valgrind from source, all of
which have the same error.

This would suggest something has changed with libc6-dbg?

Any one know  where to go from here?

Thanks

After running dpkg -i do:
apt-get -f install
which should help resolve straightforward issues.

from man apt-get:
-f, --fix-broken
   Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies
in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any
   packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If
packages are specified, these have to completely correct the problem.
The
   option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the
first time; APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to
exist
   on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency
structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which
   usually means using dselect(1) or dpkg --remove to
eliminate some of the offending packages). Use of this option together
with -m
   may produce an error in some situations. Configuration
Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.

You can pin or hold them depending on your package manager. I would
update your current kernel when updates are available to get security

Been there. What I normally do is

cd /var/cache/apt/archives

then run

dpkg -i

to install previous version of all the xorg packages upgraded. Don't
forget the xorg libs, e.g. libxcb-image0:i386.

Then re-install the video drivers.

It seems that, correct me if I'm wrong, that Intel are not providing
linux support on certain cpus. Maybe check Intel website or email them
to confirm one way or the other.

I don't know the inner workings of dpkg. But during the extraction
process does dpkg use the /tmp  partition?
The /tmp partition is 360MB. Maybe increasing  /tmp size or setting up
/tmp on home may help

http.debian.net hash sum mismatch

[Robin]

Has anybody else experienced problems over the last couple of days?
Or is there a local fix I can apply?

For ref:

About http.debian.net

Brought to you by Raphael Geissert, it aims to solve the problem of
choosing a Debian mirror, among other issues. The redirector uses the
geo and network location of the user and the mirrors, the architecture
of the requested files, IP address family, the availability and
freshness of the mirrors, and a few other things. It is constantly
improved.
The result: it selects the best mirror that can serve the file. Give
the demonstration a try!
If you are familiar with cdn.debian.net you should think of
http.debian.net as a superior replacement.


Thanks

Might be overkill but take a look at ps-watcher package if it is
available in your Debian version.

Do you have kio-mtp installed?
Summary:
This package includes the MTP KIO plugin. It allows applications using
the KDE Platform to access files stored on devices that provide access to
them via the MTP protocol.


This includes newer newer android devices.

Were those users using Debian stable? I use Sid so I usually

Answer:
Device detection timeout when connected to external usb hub, moved to
motherboard usb port which turned out to be faulty. Moved to another
m'board usb port  and now works as expected.

When the menu screen (Live , Failsafe) comes up  press e (to edit) .
Go to the end of the line and type acpi=off . At the bottom of the
screen it will tell you the command to use to boot your PC, probably
CTRL-X.
A suggestion, as you are just starting Linux, is to to have a look at
Linux Mint.  http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php

Worth considering: Details taken from Debian package description:

Note that Tor does no protocol cleaning on application traffic. There
is a danger that application protocols and associated programs can be
induced to reveal information about the user. Tor depends on Torbutton
and similar protocol cleaners to solve this problem. For best
protection when web surfing, the Tor Project recommends that you use
the Tor Browser Bundle, a standalone tarball that includes static
builds of Tor, Torbutton, and a modified Firefox that is patched to fix
a variety of privacy bugs.

The Tor Browser Bundle, is available from:

Assuming it should be booting to a graphical login screen, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1

Setting up push syncing with a Debian mirror

[Robin Kipp]

Hi all,
I am currently running a Debian (Wheezy) server which is hosted in a 
professional datacenter. The datacenter is located in Germany, and is directly 
connected to major backbones. As I do have loads of unused bandwidth and disk 
space, I’d like to contribute to Debian’s infrastructure by hosting and 
maintaining an Aptitude mirror.
I’ve already set this up using the ftpsync scripts, and manual syncing already 
appears to work. However, I’d like to be able to utilize push syncing, however 
this requires an upstream mirror to connect to my server via SSH and issue a 
certain command. Is there any way of setting this up with an upstream mirror? 
The Debian Wiki page on the topic goes to great lengths in explaining how push 
syncing works technically, but is rather vague on how to arrange push syncing 
with an upstream mirror…
If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I’d greatly appreciate that!
Many thanks!
Robin

Hi Darac,

Unfortunately, the website states that a connected monitor or VGA dummy plug is 
required for this to work… Since the server in question is hosted in a 
datacenter, I won’t be able to connect any of that. However, I might just try 
my luck anyways with the drivers...

There are a series of files on the downloads page, and unfortunately my 
experience with graphics drivers is zero at this time… Do you happen to know 
which file is the one that I need and how I install it properly?
Many thanks for your help!

Using the GPU on the Intel i7-477

[Robin Kipp]

Hi all,
I’ve got a server running Debian 7.1 Wheezy which uses an Intel Haswell  i7-477 
processor. This processor should have an on-board GPU that I’d like to use - 
first for scientific calculations using BOINC, and later for automated video 
rendering possibly.
However, I don’t think Debian natively supports the GPU on that processor, so I 
was just wondering if someone on here could tell me how I can get any 
appropriate drivers / libraries for that?
Many thanks for any help!

Re: Problems with Debian Testing

[Robin]

Check the desktop environment, e.g. gnome, kde, lxde, you use has upgraded
properly via  synaptic, apt-get or aptitude, whichever you use.

Re: Dependency hell following dpkg --audit

[Robin]

To start I'd

apt-get install --reinstall binutils module-init-tools

then try

apt-get -f install

which will try to fix problem or will provide some error messages
