Re: rtkit-daemon problemen

[Floris Renaud]

Het rtkit pakket is een aanbevolen afhankelijkheid van pulseaudio en/of 
pipewire.
Als ik de processen bekijk waarop de rtkit-deamon toezicht houdt, dan 
hebben ze, bij mij, allemaal met de geluidsserver te maken:

Je zou het aantal processen moeten kunnen aanpassen in:

De README van rtkit heeft hier meer informatie over.

Of course, you can also add 'contrib' section
The point is that the nvidia-driver package requires 'non-free' and

Just to be clear. The /etc/apt/sources.list will have to look like this:

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free non-free-firmware

- The "non-free" section is necessary for the nvidia-driver packages
- The "non-free-firmware" section for the nvidia firmware

Strange, I get:
$ dpkg -L gcc-mingw-w64-i686-win32-runtime | grep libgcc_s
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/10-win32/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

I had hoped that the Wine packages would refer to that, but unfortunately 
that is not the case.

Not entirely sure, but I think this is the issue:
More and more Wine DLL files are built with mingw. 
The libwine package already depends on libz-mingw.
Probably the 'gcc-mingw-w64-i686-win32-runtime' package should now be 
installed as well.

Misschien zijn dan de volgende twee opties makkelijker

Hiermee wordt de laatst gekozen grub opstart optie de standaard optie.
Of dit ook een nieuwe kernel overleeft, durf ik niet te zeggen.

In grub gaat dat met de optie GRUB_DEFAULT=0 in /etc/default/grub
0 is de eerste optie in het grub menu, 1 de tweede, enzovoorts.
Je kan (volgens de gebruiksaanwijzing) ook de naam gebruiken. Ik
neem aan dat je dan aanhalingstekens moet gebruiken, maar dat
weet ik niet zeker. Probeer eens als:

GRUB_DEFAULT='Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.19.andere nummers-amd64'

Ik verwacht dat de variable 'MODULES' in

op 'dep' staat. Debian denkt deze firmware bestanden nodig te hebben.

Deze firmware bestanden zitten niet in een Debian pakket. Als je ze echt 
nodig hebt,

kan je ze downloaden van:

Zijn ze niet nodig, dan kan je de variable 'MODULES' op 'most' zetten.

Re: is alsa-ucm-conf een vereist pakket in Debian ... voor pulseaudio?

[floris]

Gijs Hillenius schreef op 2020-09-01 08:46:

Goedenmorgen

Weet iemand hier of alsa-ucm-conf per default geinstalleerd wordt op 
een

verse Debian installatie voor de doorsnee desktop, bijvoorbeeld Gnome?

En alsa-topology-conf? En alsa-utils?



Ja
Bij een standaard desktop installatie wordt het pakket "task-desktop" 
met

al zijn vereisten en aanbevolen pakketten geïnstalleerd. Hiervan is het
volgende lijstje te maken:


task-desktop -> alsa-utils
|
task-gnome-desktop
|
gnome-core
|
pulseaudio
|
libasound2
|
libasound2-data -> alsa-ucm-conf & alsa-topology-conf


Dat waren de enige drie alsa- Debian pakketten op mijn laptop, ik heb 
ze

verwijderd. Daarna gaf pavucontrol een compleet ander beeld van mijn
geluidskaart.

https://wiki.debian.org/PulseAudio vertelt me dat Pulse werkt 'on top 
of

Alsa'. Dus ik vraag me nu af of er alsa-dingen vereist zijn.



libasound2 is het vereiste ALSA ding:

Package: libasound2
Description: shared library for ALSA applications
 This package contains the ALSA library and its standard plugins, as 
well

 as the required configuration files.

My computer doesn't have a /etc/default/grub file. I can't tell you

Is there a way to generate a default /etc/default/grub file that I can

The package grub2-common has the file:

But do have problems:

youtube will go black before images show up

vlc will go black before playing videos

clicking on 'Nvidia X Server Settings' does nothing, like I did not 
even

click on it from the Applications>System Tools>Administration menu,
where I can find 'Nvidia X Server Settings' at the top of that menu.

Thanks a lot for your considered response.


(From nvidia-detect)
$ nvidia-detect 10de:0391
Checking driver support for PCI ID [10de:0391]
Your card is only supported by the 304 legacy drivers series, which is 
only available up to stretch.


In other words; downgrade Buster to Stretch if you want to use the 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx packages
Maybe you can install the 304 driver, but you must downgrade the Xserver 
to version 1.19

Hallo,

Ik ben de afgelopen tijd op verschillende machines problemen met NTP
tegen gekomen. De tijd stond opeens heel erg verkeerd. Na purgen en
installeren van NTP was het probleem opgelost.

Kent iemand de achtergrond?

Groeten,
Paul


Van de week was het mij ook al opgevallen dat de tijd verkeerd stond.
Ik ging er vanuit dat systemd met timedatectl genoeg was als ntp client,
maar het blijkt dat timedatectl niet werkt als:
 ntp, ntpsec, openntpd, chrony of virtualbox-guest-utils
geïnstalleerd is. Deze hoeven nog geeneens te draaien.

Aangezien ntp een service file heeft met
 Conflicts=systemd-timesyncd.service
verwacht ik dat er een soort van race kan ontstaan:
timedate wil aan maar kan niet door ntp <-> ntp wil aan maar gaat niet 
door timedatctl


Bij mij was het probleem opgelost door alleen timedatectl te gebruiken 
en het bestand
 
/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf

aan te passen, zodat er niet meer gekeken wordt naar VirtualBox

2) What might be a recommended upgrade path for me?


From bug 903770 [1]:

from stretch-backports.

You could try to install mesa, libglvnd and xorg from backports first.

But when I try the installer with the default settings, the program is 
installed in:

In Wine version 3.12 there isn't such message.


Oh *NO*
u answered question ???


Every two weeks there is a new wine version with a lot of bug fixes. 
Probably this bug is resolved.

Now only a "fixme" warning is printed:

unimplemented


To answer your "is there a catalog of Wine error messages?" question.
No, there isn't a list with "error x happend ->  the message means this 
-> you should do this"




You could read the FAQ, the manual and the forum on winehq.org if you 
look for error messages.


*SNICKER*

I was vainly attempting to determine that what I saw on my console was
a WINE or an APPLICATION error message.

It has been *YEARS* since I've actually used my WinXP machine. Don't
know how to copy/find appropriate file(s) on my WinXp machine in order
that WINE might attempt to execute.

Thats good to know.

Unfortunately, Stretch-backports and Buster Nvidia-drivers are not in
sync with Sid right now. So this is still a necessary workaround for
Stretch-backports and Buster users.



and there is a new bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903121

So be careful if you use the nvidia module.

You can try the NVidia driver module from backports [1] and/or run 
journalctl -f in a terminal and wait for the blank screen.

Thanks Floris. Nothing from journalctl -f.
Can you tell me what installing a backport might do? Is that a later
version of the driver (I only installed Stretch a couple of days ago)

Mike


In backports there is a newer version of the NVidia module with more bug 
fixes. Maybe this line is relevant:
-  Further improved the fix for occasional flicker when using the X 
driver's composition pipeline. This was mostly fixed in 390.42, but now 
the fix should be more complete.

This is a bug in the nvidia driver module. There is not much you can

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899201



That devtalk is for 390 i don't see any reference to 340. FWIW i've
blocked updating xorg-server 1.20 on 2 nvidia machines that run 340,
as of today no fix on debian or arch.


xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx depends on xserver-xorg-core < 
2:1.19.99, so you don't have to block the xserver manually.

I would like to use the nouveau driver waiting for the fix.

However I an unable to boot X with the nouveau driver.

I did:

# apt-get purge nvidia.
# apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
# reboot

I have no xorg.conf.

$ startx

Did you also removed the NVidia symlinks? I'm not sure if they are 
removed when you purge the NVidia packages.


Try:
sudo update-glx --config glx
If there are any options choose mesa

and rebuild initramfs with:
sudo update-initramfs -u

Hi,

i am trying to install wine32 on a amd64 debian stretch system.

I added architecture i386

Using synaptic the package "wine32" is unknown

Using apt-get the package "wine32" is known, but needs libwine:i386.

Trying to install all dependencies results in a possible complete
chnage of the system-packages, which i have interrupted.

All infos, read from https://wiki.debian.org/Wine do not work.

What about the difference of finding "wine32" between apt-get and
synaptic?

BR

Christian



Please use the Wine version in strech-backports or from WineHQ. Wine 1.8 
(Stretch) is very old and isn't supported anymore.


After you have enabled the backports repo run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine wine32 wine64 libwine libwine:i386 fonts-wine

If you want the WineHQ packages read:

This is a bug in the nvidia driver module. There is not much you can do

over een heel ander systeem, deze gegevens zijn dus waardeloos en

Eerder kon ik de gegevens van mijn systeem verwijderen door het bug

Intel says the Intel Atom CPU N2600 @ 1.60GHz is 64bit[1]. The am64
kernel is the right one.

Call off the dogs, you and several other are correct, and I should not 
be

posting bad info at 3 or 4 am when the only reason I'm up at all is to
take the recyclables to the curb. Its just that I've been running the 
32

bit versions so well for more than half a decade I was convinced that
was the way to fly.

But does this not leave the OP scratching his head, wondering why his
machine won't boot? So we are back to the starting square and I'm out 
of

ammo. At this point I'd run memtest86 long enough, at least overnight,
to verify its not bad memory, and if it is, reseat the lappy style 
dimm,

they are getting old enough that if the air is bad, some contact
exercise might be in order. Mine never get turned off except for power
failures, so thermal stress in the atoms mounting has not stuck up a
hand yet. For those that are shut down, thermal cycling might begin to
be a problem.

I'm going back to bed, where anyone my age ought to be this time of the
morning since he's busy building a wheelchair ramp so I can bring my 
xyl
home with a busted osteoporosis riddled leg. If I ever find the guy 
that

called these the golden years, I'd like to see where the gold is in his
house.


I just checked and the dog is still playing in the backyard, so you 
don't have to worry :-)


Back to OP's question. The Intel Atom N2600 is not very Linux/ 
opensource friendly. I have and old laptop with the same processor and 
also have mixed result with different kernels. Fortunately the Debian 
Stable/ Strech amd64 kernel works without big issues. The Testing 
version has problems with the gma500 module. (I know the OP has a 
different issue and doesn't use the build-in GPU.)


@OP
Do you have a custom initramfs? Check 
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and make sure MODULES is set to 
"most".

I fetched a new computer few days ago. The equipment are:

Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350-Gaming
CPU: Amd Ryzen 3 1300x
RAM: 16Gb
Video card: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Hard disk: WD green 240 Gb

On this computer I installed Debian-9.3.0-amd64.
I've first tried to install the video card. I found a particular
driver for Linux from Ndivia's website. And then I bigan to install
it...

Filename: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.20.run

I ran the file in Konsole, but then installation started to ask me
packages I should install first.

First ask: 'gcc' -package, I installed it, another try to install ->
didn't get through
Second ask: 'make' -package, installed that too, another try to
install VC-driver -> didn't get through
Third ask: [some package which I don't remember!!??],installed that
too, another try to install VC-driver -> didn't get through
Fourth ask: 'kernel-source or kernel-devel RPM' or define
'--kernel-source-path

But my src folder does not contain kernel-source. From which folder
should I look the kernel-source?

Then I tried some guides from web:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-on-debian-9-stretch-linux

I did as I was ordered in the pages and restarted my computer. But
after that everything seems to be the same. From where can I set
resolution and other videocard adjustments?

How could I install my video card in first place?

Don't use the nvidia*.run file. Debian has the nvidia-driver package.
read: 
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_9_.22Stretch.22


(TL;DR)
- add non-free and contrib to your sources.list
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver
- reboot

Install the nvidia-settings package if you want to modify your video 
card settings.

Folks, learn to use the web site. Just surf over to [1] and you can
query the current package database. For example, entering "aptitude"
into the form and choosing "any" as Distribution shows you what
distributions carry aptitude as a package [2] (and which versions
of said package are in each distrib).


Thanks for explaining how to use the internet /s


For aptitude, it turns out that aptitude is in wheezy (aka 7, aka
(currently) oldoldstable), jessie (aka 8, aka oldstable), stretch
(aka 9, aka stable), buster (aka testing) and sid (aka unstable).

Thus either the icon in Synaptics is wrong (check your package
sources, check your update status) or whatever Synaptics is trying
to tell you with this icon is not what you think it's telling you.


Maybe you could point the OP a way how to find out what is wrong?


Personally, I've perceived Synaptics as pretty unpredictable, but
I've never found out whether it's the program or it's me.


Synaptics is very useful for users who wants a GUI for apt or dpkg. But I  
agree with you when there is a dependency issue it isn't very useful.

So, while we can't change apt-cache for compatibility reasons as Matt

Therefore closing as done.

In other words: use 'apt' if you are human or use 'apt-get' if you are a

Use the Intel and Nvidia GPU at the same time

switched the CPU. The new one have the Intel HD Graphics 630 display

Unfortunately I have no luck to get two accelerated seats. If the NVidia  
GLX extension is loaded, the Intel seat is complaining: Failed to  
initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found). Or I load  
the Mesa GLX variant and the NVidia seat falls back in the software mode.

Using Debian Stretch x86_64. I don't use a greeter like lightdm. I
just log in at the virtual terminal, then startx (xfce desktop). I
like to use multiple accounts (running X) at the same time on
different virtual terminals (eg. ctrl-alt-f1  ctrl-alt-f2)

All is fine until I exit (shutdown) one X session, then the other
running X session freezes and then after a little while crashes. Any
ideas on how to find or diagnose what's causing this issue are much

Maybe you can find more information in the log messages.  
/var/log/Xorg.x.log gives information about the X server. Or try  
journalctl to read all log messages.

Hi all,

I just posted question regarding LXDE panel, but

i was just trying to see if it would make differences if I switched to
GNOME desktop and go back to LXDE hoping it might read config file or
whatever correctly but...

I just was looking around under GNOME for while then the pop-up at the
top of the desktop sayinf "important Update" so I clicked and it
says there are 4 important updates for VLC, OS, Audacious and forgot the
other one. SO without thinking I clicked to update. Then it said the
system will reboot automatically and run update. The PC rebooted as it
said, then displayed progressive update process...took while.

When the PC started with GDM3 display manager (I had configured with
lightDM though), it only showed my account name. I had three other
account set up. and it used to show all the other users.
Anyway, I logged in with my account then GNOME started. Funny thing is,
there are no Thunderbird, no other apps I had added. Seemed like it only
had standard apps such as Firefox and others.

i also checked users account to see if other users are there or not, but
no one else was there. i also checked home directory to see if there are
other's home directories. Only mine was there.

At this point I was panicked thinking other settings were deleted.

I rebooted the PC again, now from here my memory is bit hazy as I was
panicking pretty bad but it hanged at start up sequence so I did
ctl+alt+del to restart (it did respond) to reboot. This time it rebooted
normally I started recovery mode. I checked if other account home
directories are there or not, and they are there.
I rebooted again, then the lightDM appears with all other users. Started
normally. I was saved but

What was this behavior? I have never encountered something like this.

Has anyone got same experience as mine?

What was going on? That was pretty bad. I really panicked.

Thanks for reading.

Wel vreemd, want op deb.debian.org lees ik het volgende waaruit blijkt dat  
prod.debian.map.fastly.net zal moeten werken:




Welcome to deb.debian.org!

This is deb.debian.org. This service provides mirrors for the following  
Debian archive repositories:


/debian/
/debian-debug/
/debian-ports/
/debian-security/
The server deb.debian.org does not have packages itself, but the name has  
SRV records in DNS that let apt in stretch and later find places.


To use it with a sufficiently recent apt, you for instance can put

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-debug unstable-debug main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unstable main
in your sources.list.
As of October 2016 the SRV record is

_http._tcp.deb.debian.org.  IN  SRV 10 1 80 
prod.debian.map.fastly.net.
_http._tcp.deb.debian.org.  IN  SRV 10 1 80 
dpvctowv9b08b.cloudfront.net.
If you hit the server behind deb.debian.org directly, either because you  
use an older apt or because you use a HTTP proxy that does not support SRV  
records, your requests will get HTTP redirected to one of the CDN  
instances. If you want to avoid the redirects, you can pick one instance  
directly. For instance, this also works in your sources.list:

deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian stable main
deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main
The redirection service is also available on HTTPS, so with the  
apt-transport-https package installed, you can use:

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stable main
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main
This service is sponsored by Fastly and Amazon CloudFront.


Waarschijnlijk al tig keer gecontroleerd, maar hoe zien de  
sources.list(.d/) er uit op de probleem machine?

I performed a cleanup of the system with the instructions "autoclean,

This shouldn't happen since kernels are blacklisted for such operations?


When I rebooted I could not enter the Grub anymore, I just got some

This password you entered is for what? Your BIOS? The rescue mode? Grub?

if the keys are recognized by the kernel, then you can remap them

Test with evtest if the keys get a scancode and a keycode.
Something like: type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e0

Maybe the switch from "the old" xserver-xorg-input-evdev to "the Wayland"  
xserver-xorg-input-libinput has something to do with it. But I don't know  
if you have the libinput version installed.


https://packages.debian.org/stretch/xserver-xorg-input-libinput

X.Org X server -- libinput input driver

This package provides the driver for input devices using libinput library.  
It can handle keyboards, mice and touchpads, and essentially replaces the

Hey,

I have an older Asus R2E UMPC. A long time it has Windows installed on  
it, because I only used it as a navigation device. And an attempt, long  
ago, to install and run Fedora on it, didn't work. But time has  
changed, Windows 10 is sluggish. So I give it an other try with Debian  
Sid (The same version I run on my desktop). So far so good. The  
touchscreen and fingerprint reader works. And even with Gnome3 the  
performance is good. There is only one issue so far: an extra button on  
the device.


There are 4 extra buttons and I remapped them with xmodmap. And it  
looks like they work, because when I run

xev -event keyboard
The keys are correct:
- keycode 112 XF86ScrollUp
- keycode 117 XF86ScrollDown
- keycode 234 XF86Launch0
- keycode 248 XF86Launch1  <-- This one doesn't work

But when I run:
evtest /dev/input/event9
I get
...
Event code 226 (KEY_MEDIA)
Event code 240 (KEY_UNKNOWN) <-- minus 8 from the kernel?
...

Pressing the XF86Launch1 (KEY_UNKNOWN) button dmesg gives:
asus_laptop: Unknown key 9a pressed

I added an udev hwdb rule to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/70-keyboard.hwdb
evdev:name:Asus Laptop extra buttons:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS:pn*pvr*
  KEYBOARD_KEY_9a=prog1

But when I add a shortcut with Gnome Keyboard settings. I can add the  
key to an shortcut, but nothing happens when I press the button. When I  
add one of the other buttons to a shortcut, they work as expected.


Maybe someone has an idea to solve this problem?

Still no success, but a little progress.

I made a hwdb rule in /etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-keyboard.hwdb
evdev:name:Asus Laptop extra buttons:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS:pn*pvr*
  KEYBOARD_KEY_95=keyboard
  KEYBOARD_KEY_9a=screen

after an udevadm update and trigger udevadm info /dev/input/event5  
reports the buttons:

hwdb rule
E: KEYBOARD_KEY_95=keybaord

E: LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP=19/0/0/0:asus_laptop

So far everything works as expected, but evtest doesn't remap the 9a key

[EDIT]
(I made a typo)

Finally I solved this issue. I added the unknown key to asus-laptop.c and  
rebuild the kernel module. Although, I don't think this is the proper way  
of adding unknown media keys.

perhaps you can use yad, a fork of zenity, with the tail option:

Thanks for the suggestion; it sounds like something that would work.

if you need this package and your GPU is supported by the latest version

sid doesn't have a version number

What functionality do you need? I suggest trying a Debian Live image
and evaluating some of the many open source PDF readers.

Kind regards,



My tax company insists on Adobe. I hve spend three days fighting
this problem. Installed Windoze 7 but it couldn't get on line.
Anyone have a linux Adobe Acrobat Reader. I had it once but the computer

you can run Adobe Acrobat via wine

I suspect that these are called "tasks" in debian. See the "tasksel"

That's what I thought until I looked it up.


 With Software Collections, you can build and concurrently install
