bluetooth file transfer issue in Debian Jessie
Hi to all I've got a problem with the bluetooth file transfer, my Jessie linux box denies accepting files via BT, and I don't know why: sysconfig log doesn't return any error. The local service config dialog related to file transfer from the bluetooth-applet is empty, and it shouldn't. Any clue how to investigate further? -- Dona i tuoi cicli di clock alla ricerca! http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Un uomo sulla luna non sara' mai interessante quanto una donna sotto il sole. -- Leopold Fechtner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Installing Debian Jessie/testing via debootstrap
Hi I've installed debian testing from within stable using debootstrap (following https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds03.html). At the moment this is my partition table: --8---cut here---start-8--- NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:00 111,8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:10 243M 0 part /boot ├─sda2 8:20 1K 0 part └─sda5 8:50 111,6G 0 part ├─nostromo-CRUNCHBANG (dm-0) 254:0014G 0 lvm / ├─nostromo-swap_1 (dm-1) 254:10 4,1G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─nostromo-DEBIAN (dm-2) 254:2014G 0 lvm /media/DEBIAN ├─nostromo-LOCAL (dm-3) 254:30 9,3G 0 lvm /usr/local └─nostromo-HOME (dm-4) 254:40 70,2G 0 lvm /home --8---cut here---end---8--- The boot partition only contains the stable kernel, while the DEBIAN partition contains its own kernel. I did *not* install any boot loader in it, since I'd want avail of the already existing boootloader. What's the proper way to add the testing entry to the GRUB menu? Running update-grub in the host distro does not work. Any clue? Thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Improve leafnode
Camaleón noela...@gmail.com writes: [...] Ppp only triggers when a ppp* interface goes up. When there's a Internet connection (dial-up, ppp dsl, umts...) in place, right? Right, the script /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/leafnode triggers when ppp0 is established. I'd like to make it more general. More general in what way, exactly? What kind of scenario do you have in mind? I ask because your suggestion (if found useful by the package maintainers) could be also added in the Debian package without needing to use to a sed script or something like that. In few words: a system wide cronjob already, periodically (every hour), tests if leafnode is configured in PPP or permanent mode. If PPP it skips over, if permament fetchnews is launched. I set it as PPP because I don't want my syslog flooded with error messages about missing connection. [1] /etc/cron.d/leafnode --8---cut here---start-8--- # Cron entries for Leafnode. # Run /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news every hour. 8 * * * * news if [ -x /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news ]; then /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news; fi --8---cut here---end---8--- [2] /etc/news/leafnode/do-fetch-news --8---cut here---start-8--- # Get configuration . /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config ... # Get new news. if [ $NETWORK = permanent -a -x /usr/sbin/fetchnews ]; then /usr/sbin/fetchnews fi --8---cut here---end---8--- I think it could be smarter. A solution I'm working on is a script which use sed to toggle $NETWORK between PPP and permanent when the laptop is online, I only would like to know how to run this script from inside interfaces I'm not sure if that would work as you expect given the way it is configured now because the service has been already started so in order to alter the $NETWORK variable you'll have to restart or reload the leafnode service every time that variable changes, is that what you want? :-? No, but please note that $NETWORK variable is read every time that the cronjob starts, at worst I will have a one hour lag. Anyway, you can take a look at the networking docs: Http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_scripting_with_the_ifupdown_system Greetings, Thanks. -- - Cosa si deve fare per avere le mani sempre ben curate? - Niente! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Improving leafnode
Leafnode on Debian uses a script do-fetch-news, which cron run periodically, that checks the variable $NETWORK in /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config. This variable can have two possible values: PPP and permanent. I think that a third value is missing, we can call it online. Useful when leafnode runs on mobile devices for example. Can you suggest me a brief way to improve it. I suppose I can insert a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ which checks when online and thes edits /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config accordingly. I also noticed that exists another script, network-test, that I can use for this. But I have one questions: 1. I don't understand if to trigger a script putting it into /etc/network/if-up.d/ is enough to run it when an interface goes up. Any clue?
