Fwd: Re: tntnet

[Wayne Topa]

Your right.  I have spent the afternoon trying to find a bug on my
Wheezy system sence it was installed..  The bug, which I just found, was
in a new apt.conf file.

When I commented the file my alias's in .bashrc are working again.

Neither aptitude or apt-cache reported an error or the presence of a
tntnet package but now the are both working.

Thanks Brian you helped Chad an me as well with your answer.

Well done Sir

It could be tntnet:

Having said that, while I am not a developer, I have never run tntnet on

tntnet?  Was that supposed to read telnet?

If you meant telnet, see the man page for apt-cache and check for
depends and rdepends.

If you did mean tntnet I don't think it came from Debiab so I would
be careful using matches around that box.   ;_)

OK, OK.  It might even bbe part of the kernel and not be a program at all.
How *do* I tell if I'm using nscd?


If you don't know about it, chances are that you don't even have it
insalled.  On my wheezy, it's not installed, by default or by any

You will get the same behaviour in any distrib using gnome 3.

What you can o (and you can do it in debian) is choose another

Take a look at the manual page for gpm.conf.  It might take some
experimenting but that is what I use to control the mouse.  Note
that I do not run Gnome so your mileage may vary.

I Thought I had finished the above sentence when I sent this.  My
apologizes to all who tried to help but couldn't due to "my" error.

The errors I am getting, see below, are the results from an
apt-get or aptitude update. Changing to the IP address, 204.152.191.39
allowed the update to complete.

Again I apologize for my error.

Yes I can get there using iceweasel, but the problem was (is) they are
not working in /etc/apt/sources.list.  Which is what this thread was about.

I am using a Verizon MiFi to connect to the net and have no idea which
DNS records are being used. I do know that with only the Verizon address
I sometime have long waits while connecting. I don't see how that would
matter because all of the network files on all 6 distros are exactly the
same and the problem does no exist in Testing or Sid

No Proxy here and I am using my providers DNS Server as well as Google
8.8.8.8 & 4.4.4.4

It is not my firewall causing this problem.Using arno-iptables-firewall
on 6 dist's, 3 wheezy, 1 Testing & 1 Sid.  The DNS problems are only on
the 3 Wheezy dists.  The Oldest wheezy dist was installed when Squeeze
went stable and it was not having this problem until Wheezy went stable.


I don't know if the problem was in Squeeze or not.  I seldom used it as
it had problems with X so my primary dist wad Wheezy.


Thanks, again, for the reply though.

I think.  Ping got me the IP Addr so used it instead of ftp.debian.org.
That does work

Seem like a lot of Debian sites return " not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)" lately.

something.

Not running samba here but if I recall correctly the script is in
/etc/init.d. So the command  service samba stop should work.

Programs don't generally ask for permissions; they assume that
they are connected, and report failures when they can't make
connections.

I suppose that you could write a wrapper script for every
program, so that if you invoke it through the wrapper you have
opened the necessary ports, and if you invoke the program
without the wrapper the connections are dropped. However, while
the wrapper is being run, any copy of the program could have
the same permissions.

On Android systems, this issue is slightly addressed (though not
in the manner you want) by having a new user added for every
program, and running each program under that user-id. Since
iptables can look at effective user-id when making packet
accept/drop decisions, you can do per-program firewalls that
way.

By the way, you have an unusually brusque way of stating
conditions rather than asking questions, which comes across as
slightly rude.

Apologies, I've just been chastised by relatives and friends for going
in the other direction.
I was trying to make clear I want only minimal connectivity.
As to the per program feature, I want to prevent an app from deciding to
update on its schedule not mine. I'm restricted to dial-up so I need to
be able to ration a scarce resource, i.e. connectivity.



The only package that upgrades automatically, that I know of, is cron-apt so
Don't install that.

When I was on dial up I tried a number of firewalls and found that the
arno-iptables-firewall was the best for me.  So much so I am still using 
it now on Verizon 3g.   YMMV.

Re: a problem with CUPS

[Wayne Topa]

On 04/23/2013 10:27 AM, Paul Condon wrote:

I have a rather complicated CUPS printing setup, which works, mostly,
but not entirely:

My printer is an old HP 5MP, laser printer, which I purchased before HP
invented the word "laserjet" because I was committed to Macintosh back
then and the HP 5MP offered both parallel port and Apple Talk interfaces.

My current working desktop computer has neither of these. It is too new.
And I don't think I have any Apple Talk cables any more.


Does you new computer have any USB ports?  If yes, you can buy a usb to 
parallel cable to get it working.  That's what I use on my HP6P laser 
printer.



But I do have
another, much older computer that does have a parallel port and an
ethernet interface card. When I got my 'new' computer (one without
parallel port) , I made the older computer into a 'print server',
serving 'printing' over my LAN. It has worked well, except for times
when new print software was released and I had to configure the CUPS
soft ware. I have great difficulty comprehending CUPS.

My problem is that CUPS software does not handle .pdf files easily. If I
try to print file, zyx.pdf, by typing "lpr zyx.pdf" , the command is
accepted, the light
flashes on the printer and after a while a piece of paper comes out of
the printer ... but it is -blank-. Evince also 'prints' only blank
pages. Pages from iceweasel, and emacs (including the fancy Postscript
format) are printed correctly. But if I save the page to a file and then
try to print the file, something prevents the black stuff from sticking
to the print drum. Where is that something?

Ideas?


As my HP6P can't print PDF files using lpr either, I use a PDF program 
to print PDF files.  I am using the okular PDF viewer package.

I found that the problem was my .procmailrc file.  I didn't realize that

called from fetchmail (which I had disabled), but I was wrong about

One of places I had been :{



Care to explain why you don't like it/what you really want?



In my "three score and ten" I've learned to recognize when I am too
clueless to ask a reasonable question ;/

The immediate surface symptoms include almost no change to
/etc/lilo.conf having the expected effect.

I can't get the menu to display automatically - even if at the moment it
would have only one choice.
[It does display if I hit the space-bar when LILO appears on screen.]

I can't the text describing the one menu item I have.

I suspect the document I desire would spend a dozen pages describing
only lilo.conf.



I guess you've been here, too:
http://www.netadmintools.com/html/5lilo.conf.man.html,


Yepp


but the conf is
so simple that it's hard to get it wrong.


But I'm so talented ;/




From your problem description, it almost sounds as if you're failing to

run /sbin/lilo after making changes to the lilo.conf file to allow it to
"compile" the conf.


Discovered that error early.
I've played with delay= statement and that works as expected.




I resisted the migration to grub for many years, on the basis that lilo
was a much better hammer, being as simple as required to do the job.
However, I was eventually worn down, and bent to progress, so haven't
used lilo in a while :(


I found grub2 annoying in that it wanted the menu to appear its way not
mine.
I'd likely would have been happy with grub legacy as its configuration
was set in a single easily edited file. But what I've read seems to
indicate it is being declared dead/unsupported/abandoned/... .




In all that time, I never found the need to delve much deeper into the
config than what was available in the above page.



ISTR around the time that grub2 was introduced, one of our users, I 
'THINK' his name was Stephen Powell, gave some good arguments for using

Lilo.  Again, ISTR, he put up a very good web page explaining how to use
& install it.

You might find the thread on the D-U archives or Google.  Yep, a goohle 
search for Lilo 'Stephen Powell' has it as the first link.


Google IS your friend.

Yes, more information should have been provided. I believe I am running
Debian wheezy? When I boot up it says something about debian 6.xxx with
linux 2.xxx. I am running Gnome desktop. Whether its called a panel or
toolbar it is the 'panel' info at the top of the screen that has
'applications, places, system, date,time and any icons that are placed
there. I did a complete uninstall of Pan which deleted the icon on the
desktop. All it did was 'grey' out the icon in that panel. I tried to
'delete' it but deleted the whole 'panel'/toolbar or what ever one wants
to call it. Doing a restart or completely powering down and rebooting
did not restore it. Thanks to Ralf, I am able to bring up what normally
a 'click' on the panel would show so I am able to at least shut down. I
also found out how to get a new panel at the top. I managed to place the
date and time back but I don't know how to restore the
'applications/places/system' section so I can use that to do what ever
navigation I need to do. I am a 98% GUI user and seldom use the command
line.

John



Glad you got it fixed!  FYI /etc/debian_version 6.x.x is Squeeze 
(Stable). 7.0 is Wheezy which will become the new stable in the near

future.

Have a Happy

I might help if you supplied a bit more information, such as WHAT

Re: Debian Wheezy Grub Problem

[Wayne Topa]

On 03/12/2013 02:59 PM, Stephen P. Molnar wrote:

My main Linux computer (64bit CPU) is about six or seven years old now
and has had a number of distributions running.  As I haven't had any
luck with upgrades, I've always done a complete installation.

Currently the Grub boot menu has a number of choices:

openSUSE
Advanced options for openSUSE
openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
Advanced options for openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.5)
Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.5)
Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.4)
Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux (6.0.4)

There are a number of things that I find puzzling.

First of all, the most recent installation is Debian Wheezy/Testing
(7.0), and, in fact, WebMin tells me that the installed Operating
system is Debian Linux 7.0.  In order to boot into what is now my
default Linux, installed on /dev/hda I have to select the seventh
option of the menu which is mislabeled as 6.0.4.

I had successfully installed some of the distributions on other
than /dev/hda, but the last several installation have been on the
Primary Master HD.

The computer boots well with the seventh entry in the menu, which is
not the default.  This is rather annoying.

I have become thoroughly confused by the information I've found about
grub2.  I am not a hardware person and am rather loathe to make any
changes to the boot loader, given my current high degree of mental
entropy.

I thought about switching to lilo and, in fact, tried that out
successfully on a laptop running Wheeezy in a VM.  When I tried that on
the tower /sbin/lilo complained that it couldn't open /etc/lilo.conf,
even though I used sudo.  Fortunately, my act of desperation didn't
render grub inoperable.


I was where you are so know your pain.

I search the net for how to customize the Grup2 menu and finally got it 
working using this link.


.

  You have to configure a custom file in /etc/grub.d/I used 06_custom 
using the, already there 40_custom, as a guide.  To be sure you can 
still boot if you made a mistake, be sure you have a Super Grub CD 
available.


Google "customizing grup2" for more information;

Are we to surmise that you're in the US?  If so, you may want to use:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/

instead.  That will round-robin through the mirrors.

I do know how to report a bug and how to check to see whether it's
already been
reported. However, since this has been in place for as long as I've seen
it be
without a fix, I wanted to verify that it wasn't intended behavior (and
that it
isn't a "just me" situation) before trying to handle it as a bug.

At the very least I know it isn't *absolutely* just me; it was reported and
discussed earlier this year at

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=79006

But that's the only mention of it I've found so far - so either very few
people
use the 'set-selections' functionality for anything other than
already-installed
packages, or this doesn't happen for everyone.

According to the dpkg man page, the sequence

dpkg --get-selections > selection_list
[copy selection_list to a remote machine]
dpkg --clear-selections
dpkg --set-selections < selection_list

should result in the second machine having the exact same set of package
selections as the first one. I seem to recall that I did this once in
the past,
and it worked as expected.

Currently (wheezy with bits of sid), however, when I try this I get a
flood of
messages of the form

dpkg: warning: package not in database at line X: packagename

and the warned-about packages do not get selected for installation (as
reported
by a subsequent 'dpkg --get-selections' on the second machine).

Specifically, I get one such message for every package which was *not*
already
in the list which would have been printed by 'dpkg --get-selections' on the
second machine. I suspect that this is also the same as the list of
packages
from /var/lib/dpkg/available.

(The '--clear-selections' step is not necessary to reproduce the problem. I
included it on the basis of the recommendation in the man page, on the off
chance that it would fix something.)


It appears that 'dpkg --set-selections' will not set the status of a
package
which it doesn't know about. That wouldn't necessarily be unreasonable,
except
that the packages it knows about seem to be limited to only packages
which are
(or have been) installed on the current system.

As a result, the example given in the dpkg man page for using
'--set-selections'
doesn't seem to work.

Is there something I'm missing which would let this work? Or should I
file a bug
against dpkg, to either get this working again, or at least get the man
page
fixed to match reality?

   update-notifier-common".

But I don't want to remove these because I think they are important

Why autroremove wants to remove they now?

I was know that autoremove usually helps cleaning my system safely so
I used it a lot before without problem.


The apt-get man page describes that quite well.

Please use the tools installed on your system.

man apt-get
  autoremove
autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed 
to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no longer needed.


Also see  autoclean for less destructive alternative.

I wholly disagree. First, when someone lowers himself to ask a question in a
public forum, it is usually because she has been unable to find the answer; it
is the duty of others in the forum to respond politely and civilly. Second,
mayhap you want others to treat you like a fetid, steaming dog turd; most of
us don't want anyone treated like that. We don't like being bullied; rather,
we wish to be treated with civility and respect, and we try to treat others in
the same way.



That might be fine for a Forum but this is a list, not a Forum.


If one cannot respond with civility and respect, one shouldn't respond at all.


How would that help OSS?



Attitudes like yours drive people away from OSS.


I respect your opinion even though I don't agree with it.

I had to got to the KDE systemsettings and manually change the file

for all http/https.

I checked my file associations and could not find anything about this in
that system settings setup.  Hunted all over.  Nothing.


2. I changed in the .icedove//prefs.js


???  On my working wheezy icedove
wtopa@dj:~$ ls .icedove/profile
ls: cannot access .icedove/profile: No such file or directory
but
wtopa@dj:~$ ls .icedove/prefs.js
.icedove/prefs.js*

Might that be your problem ??

HTH


user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.http", true);

to true.

Checked my prefs.js file and it has no "network." anything listed for
some reason.  Went to the about:config file in iceweasel and could not
find anything that looked like it might help.  If there is the same type
of setup in icedove I have no idea yet how to access it.


while callening external links does work now, it had a major impact on
beeing able to add new accounts to ID.
while checking a new imap/smtp server, a link opened in iceweasel,
trying to get info about the mail-server. in this case, I used
self-signed certificates on my dovcot-server and STARTTLS.

switching this value back to "false", I can add new mailservers, but not
open external links.

for the time being, I have to choose, which misbehaviour I can live with
at the moment.

Well, I appreciate your input and yes, I agree, it's one or the other in
your case and I appreciate your reply to let  me know what you've found.

the r8169 ethernet driver and not by any wireless driver.  So it could
simply be the case that your WLAN card is not supported by the Squeeze
kernel.  What does "lspci -vk" print?


*blink* That's *really* embarrassing! I could have sworn... :(

The last one is my wireless adaptor. An Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adaptor.

So maybe my wired adaptor will work? I can try that in a bit.

Still confused why the wireless doesn't work.



Maybe you need to in stall the right firmware package.

wtopa@dj:~$ srch Ralink
firmware-ralink - Binary firmware for Ralink wireless cards


I am lazy- srch is an alias for apt-cache search Ralink

While the above URI seems legitime, the content of the message is a bit
fuzzy as it requests for confirming an online account with generic
wording and no further data/information.

Anyway, if the message is not in plain text, does the showed URL match
with the  html code? That's what the scam filter would
look at.

Greetings,


 As far as I can see. it doen not match.

You really meant "scam" and not spam", right? I ask because they are two

Is this intended behaviour, does anyone else see this too and should I
report a bug?

I don't think that's intended at all (btw, it does not happen here with
TB 14) but how did you determine the problem? I mean, all of these apply?

- You tested with messages that really came from Google servers.
- Those messages were not scam at all but legitime (i.e., no suspicious
content nor embbeded html code).
- E-mails coming from different senders remain unaffected
- You opened a message locally (file → open...) and it is still being
detected as scam.

Also, take a look into this article to understand how this functionality
works:

After several attempts over several years, I haven't yet had complete
success installing Linux. I'm hungry to learn, but am very poor at
computerspeak, so please be gentle.

I'm trying again. I know, some steps would be removed from the process
if I'd buy disks, but I'd really like to master this.

I navigated to http://atterer.org/jigdo/ from debian.org, and am
trying to follow the instructions on Atterer's page. I'm concerned
because near the top of the page is the following:

'This software is now in "maintenance mode", development has stopped.
Unfortunately, this means that various parts (in particular the GUI
download tool) will remain unfinished,'

with a note above saying that the last update was on 2010-9-23. I
wouldn't think debian.org would send me to the page, if the page were
no longer useful, so I've been plowing ahead.

I have downloaded jigdo-lite
(http://atterer.org/sites/atterer/files/2009-08/jigdo/jigdo-win-0.7.2.zip)
(I'm using Windows XP), and I believe I've successfully got a command
line interface. (I have a black window with a bunch of text that has
proliferated with previous unsuccessful attempts (due to typos and the
like) to access Debian's 6.0.5 CD-1 image.) At the jigdo prompt, I
have typed
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.5/i386/jigdo-cd/debian-6.0.5-i386-CD-1.jigdo,
which link location I copied from the list at
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.5/i386/jigdo-cd/.

What seem most pertinent to me, of the things jigdo is telling me, are
the parts that say, "301 Moved Permanently," followed by a URL, then a
"Resolving," followed by a "Connecting," and a "connected," then "404
Not Found," and "File 'debian-6.0.5-i386-CD-1.jigdo' does not exist!"

I decided to return to the jigdo window, before sending this, to try
again, this time with the CD-1 template; maybe I'd garner more
information about my trouble that way. Now I'm even more confused,
because I can't get a jidgo prompt. There's just a blinking cursor at
the left edge, with stuff above that looks like what I've been
entering, but which seems to bleed off the right edge, though there is
no scroll bar at the bottom of the window, and though I cannot expand
the window horizontally (double-headed arrow appears, but doesn't
work). Nothing I type makes a difference to the window; the cursor
just keeps blinking. I tried making the window full-page, but it looks
just the same, only bigger.

Is it clear, from what I've described, what I've done to hang up
jigdo, and why I can't access the CD image for download? Can anyone
help me make this work?

Specifically, is there a way to get back to a jigdo prompt, other than
uninstalling and reinstalling jidgo? And is that CD image really
available for download? And, if so, what do I need to do differently
in order to download it?

Thanks very much for your attention.

Kirsten

I'm in the same situation that yours.

AFAIK, the current implementation of bootlogd is broken, it does not work

Good time of the day, Wayne.


Thank You for Your time and answer.
You worte:


I am running wheezy on an amd64 box.

I just followed the instructions given to you in this thread and I
now have wine running fine except for html rendering.  So far
everything else is working.

You seem to be more concerned with if it is running in amd64 or i386.
In my case I don't care as long as I can use some old windbloz
software I need.


Indeed so it is - regarding the multi-arch problem.

But as for me - I can not install the wine for another reason now - too
many and even unsolvable dependencies (I too have testing, but
probably it much differs from Yours in packages). Therefore I abounded
my desire to try 1.4 version and will stay w/ stable 1.0 (1.2.3 from
testing does not work for one game I like).


I should have mentioned that I did have to get some of the required 
pages from Sid.  So I am now running a Wheezy/Sid system.


Sorry I didn't say that in my first reply.  :-(


I want to thank all people who have participated in the topic! - You
all have made a big deal in making clear the important thing -
multi-arch that yet is coming and it will rise yet many questions
because of this movement - I believe. So that - I think - pointing at
this topic in the future will become a short and well explaining
answer. - Unless something miraclous will be done by wine maintainer(s)
before soon coming freeze and therefore the topic will become outdated.

Thanks again! We have great community and great distro of the planet!


Sthu.

"You should make precautionary moves for the full upgrade while 
gathering latest information from mailing list and using common senses."


The cautions alone are enough to give you a hint.  Did you do the 13 
steps after the above?


In 19+ years of using Debian, I have done only 1 full-upgrade and that 
was a few years ago.  For me, once was enough. A safe-upgrade means just 
that, safe.


YMMV



"aptitude -D" is supposed to show for each package to be newly installed
the reason why it is needed.  In my case, aptitude wants to install
texlive-fonts-extra though this package is currently not installed and
also (to my knowledge) not required or recommended in any way.

"apt-get full-upgrade" wants to do the same, BTW.

Well man ls says

"  List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). =

  Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort is specifie=
d."

Guess you could start there.
Hope this helps

On a fresh Squeeze installation, ls seems to ignore leading "."
characters (it no longer lists all "hidden" files adjacent to each
other) and to ignore capitalization differences.

It used to sort in standard/traditional Unix order (not ignoring any
characters, and ordering by order of characters in ASCII/etc. (as
opposed to by case-insensitive alphabetical order)).


What controls ls's sorting order?

I haven't set any locale environment variable specifically for the
collation order, but I don't know what base LANG=en_US.UTF-8 setting
does. Does "en_US" imply that new sorting order?


How do I tell ls to work the way I've seen it work for decades?

Re: Network Manager forgets WPA2 password.

Hi,

When I log into Gnome-Shell my WPA2 password is remembered between
sessions in Network Manager. But when I log into my default desktop
(Pekwm/Tint2) which also uses Network Manager I have to enter the
password every time. What can I do to get Network Manager remember the
password outside of Gnome?

I'm running Debian Wheezy with Gnome 3.2


I do not use gnome. But this is the way I do it.

less /etc/network/interfaces

# Netgear wg111v2 rtl8187 module
#
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
modprobe rtl8187
wpa-ssid Verizon MiFi2200 C4B5 Secure
wpa-psk  xxx

That is NOT the user password, it is the password to
connect to my Wireless provider.

Regards
Wayne

Yes, I received 2-3 but someone must have marked then as Spam on gmail.

Where did you find that stanza? It looks like you just copied/pasted it
wrong :-?

loopback loop /debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso linux

Sorry, you are right.

The [video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr initrd] is appended accidentally during CCP.
But even with the correct config which you have shown above, I get the
same errors :-(


Weird, because a similar block (same?>:-?) similar worked for you not so
long ago:


Yes I know, and it was with 1.95 and presently I'm with
1.99



What is the directory/filename the above  "menuentry" is in?




(hd0,2)/debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso

(hd0,2) is the 2nd partition of pendrive. If I omit the above menuentry from 
grub.cfg
gurb2 boots fine. As soo as I insert the above config, it throws the error ..




I think there is a language problem here.  Lets try another way.

In Grub(1) 1.97 the the /boot/grub/menu.cfg was the where config 
information was.


In Grub2 (1.99)  the config files, NOTE: files not 1 but many files, are 
located in /etc/grub.d/.  Those are the files you need to use for Grub2.


If grub(1) was able to boot iso files I was not aware of it.  I do boot 
iso files using grub2 but that requires a bit of work on your part, such 
as putting the iso file in /boot/images.


So I will ask again.  Where is the file you have the above mentioned 
menuentry  located?
