Problem using pmount
Currently am using debian testing. So far, I was using pmount to mount my usb drive without any issues (am also a member of the plugdev group). Since a couple of days, pmount started failing. Before I explain further, the same drive can be mounted via thunar. This is the error I am seeing: $ pmount /dev/sdb1 mas NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? Error: could not delete mount point: No such file or directory. I even formatted my pen drive, but the same problem persists. In fact, the drive is formatted for vfat, not NTFS. $ lsblk -o name,fstype,size,mountpoint,uuid NAMEFSTYPE SIZE MOUNTPOINT UUID sdb 7.5G └─sdb1 vfat 7.5G 3BE4-3417 Could not find any bug reports about such an issue? Any pointers will be helpful. -- Sridhar M. A.

Arial is installed on my system. Visited slashdot.org using both waterfox (https://imgur.com/mkvyMCS) and firefox (https://imgur.com/JrhkYE5). The webdev tool shows the text to be on the page. There is some rendering issue which is probably not showing it on the actual web page :-( -- Sridhar M. A.

Firefox not displaying text on website(s)
Yesterday when I updated my system, I got firefox 57. It does appear to work faster. But, I noticed that the sites I frequent, do not display the text: distrocwatch.com, slashdot.org, gmail, etc. Removed $HOME/.mozilla and checked again. Same problem :-( The screenshots can be seen here: https://imgur.com/lwjhGGu, https://imgur.com/Jcdo1Wg, https://imgur.com/KPyxmFN Anyone else facing a similar problem? If it matters, except uBlock, I do not have any other extensions. Even with the extension removed, the behaviour is the same. Regards, -- Sridhar M. A.

As of yesterday, I am runing 2.17 which was released a couple of days back. Take a look at https://wine-staging.com/installation.html#distro_debian -- Sridhar M. A.

Thanks Akil. I will try konsole and get back if I face any problems. As expected, your name is garbled here (on a terminal) :-) -- Sridhar M.

What probably was not clear in my mail was that they are not displayed _correctly_ in the terminals. I do use indic regularly in iceweasel, gedit, et al. It is not a problem there. My problem is in reading mails with indic chars using mutt in a terminal. -- Sridhar M. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
