installer can't detect my usb adapter

i have realtek 8188eus usb adapter, it works in buster

but after reboot, it can't be recognized, i have to unplug and plug usb 
adapter to help detection. this isn't big inconvenience for me because i 
rarely reboot


my problem is bullseye installer can't detect it even after i unplug and 
plug it. i run "modprobe r8188eu" in installer's terminal, it doesn't  
help detection. lsusb command doesn't exist. if wifi isn't setup by 
installer, then i am unable to setup it after installation because of 
some debian bug

2nd, option name msdos1 in grub is too misleading, i suggest changing it to 
partition1

Re: problem with loading installer (hard disk method)

Thank Max, but i have solved my problem on my own

but i have other problem, installer says

possible mismatch version between iso file and kernel

i have downloaded  debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso at vfat sda1

Nicolas George, autoremove option doesn't work as manual promise,

how to remove grub's background image

[lou]

i install xfce4 in stretch, unhappy with it, and remove it

but i'm unable to remove grub boot menu's background image that is 
installed with xfce4

A quick web search found a list of the packages on this image:

As I expected, there is no X server, even though there are a few X

Est-ce que l'UUID de la swap est le même que dans le

Sinon, remplace le par le bon UUID de ta swap..

Il y à une ligne que je ne vois pas dans ton .desktop et c'est

d'après moi, si tu copie/colle pour créer un lanceur, créer un nouveau

Je vais expliquer mon fstab :)

Tout d'abord j'ai /dev/sda qui est mon disque ou je met mes tout ce qui
concerne mes OS en partition étendu...

/dev/sda5 qui est ma swap
/dev/sda6 qui est ma debian stable
/dev/sda7 que j'utilise avec virtual box, parce que je ne
le veut pas dans mon home (par défault)..
/dev/sda8 qui est une debian testing, pour tenter de commencer à faire
des rapports de bugs.

Pour ce qui est du boot efi, je croyais qu'il était dans /dev/sda6 dans
le dossi/boot via le mbr ou j'install grub.

/dev/sdb est un autre disque dur.
/dev/sdb1 est une partition pour mes fichiers temporaires d'internet
/dev/sdb2 est mon Data avec tous le reste...musique, video, etc
(celle-ci est encrypté avec LUKS) et je la monte à mon aise si j'en est
besoin. C'est pour ça que la ligne dans le fstab est commenter. Je ne
suis pas habituer de faire une partition avec LUKS et comme sa me
gênait pas, je la laissait commenter. Peut-être que je devrait
l'indiquer dans mon fstab avec l.option noauto, ce qui reviendrait au
même pour moi et ainsi j’éviterais sûrement des conflit future..

Je partitionne de cette façon, car j'install souvent des distributions
pour les essayers Sa me fait moin de backup à faire. cette
distribution "d'essaie" se retrouve donc en /dev/sda8..

Maintenant j'aimerais rajouter un point que je croyais pas pertinant,
mais à présent, oui.

Quand j'ai fait ma clé usb avec cp et que je ne l'ai pas déconnecter
avant de redemarrer, s'était pour faire une installation en /dev/sda8.
(qui est firmware_debian_9). Donc j'ai lancé L'installateur et fait le
processus. l'installateur ma évidemment formater ma swap ainsi que la
partition dédié à la racine. Quand j'ai booter sur le live, dans le
chroot, j'ai édité mon fstab pour changer le UUID de ma swap, qui
venait de changer, vu son formatage. Pour qu'il puisse la détecter, car
je croyait que s'était mon problème.

Maintenant, si je fait un #update-initramfs -u j'ai ça comme retour..

L'UUID a624326a-3308-41aa-be78-afc35f69067a est l'ancien UUID de ma
swap...

blkid j’obtiens:
> /dev/sda5: UUID="86960075-465f-460d-9fe8-6d7a29ee7d9b" TYPE="swap"
> PARTUUID="234ee1e3-05"
Donc l'initram à conserver l'ancien UUID de la swap et il faut
ré-écrire la varible à l'initram. J'ai bien compris?

Dans ma pratique, quand j'install une autre distribution sur (/dev/sda8)
et qu'il formate la swap, si je redémarre sur /dev/sda6 (debian stable),
je me retrouve dans un shell ou (press ctrl+D to continue) alors
j'entre le mdp root pour aller changer le nouveau UUID de la swap et je
redémarre et tout va bien 

Donc, c'est le fait de ne pas avoir
déconnecter ma clé usb, lancer l'insatallateur, changer l'uuid en live
session, qui me donne ce compte rendu?

Merci pour l'explication du noresume Sebastien :)

MERCI! :p

J'aimerais savoir ce que fait l'option du noyau "noresume" ?? et si je
peux laisser l'option au noyau...?
Parce que, maintenant, je peux entrer dans ma debian :))
MERCI!

Je poste quand même mon fstab... parce que je comprend toujours pas

Je n'est pas de double entrer UUID ou 2 swap et tout semble normale

W: Kernel Task Compendium

[Lou]

Hi list

I'm looking for a brief compendium on kernel tasks - mostly out of 
curiosity, but also to have a brief idea what the list of running 
services ps -A is spitting out are there for (and disabling those I most 
certainly will never use)


Figuring out what the userspace tasks are doing is easily done by a 
quick google, as for the kernel tasks: not so much.


Is the Kernel/Documentation folder any good, or where is the right place 
to look for?


And is it possible to stop kernel tasks I will never use? In Ubuntu 
[ecryptfs-thread] would be a possible candidate. Can I blacklist loaded 
modules and services I don't use?


Thanks,

Lou

wheezy: findsmb output different compared to squeeze

[Lou]

Hello list

findsmb in debian/wheezy will ship the exact same perl script I have 
here in debian/squeeze, but the output it produces is different.


findsmb output in squeeze:

*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
-
192.168.1.2   D6M1 +[WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 3.5.6]
192.168.1.3   D7M1  [WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 3.6.3]
192.168.1.4   D6M2  [WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 3.5.6]


findsmb output in wheezy:

*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
-
192.168.1.2   D6M1   +[WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 3.5.6]


So it randomly outputs only 1 of my 3 shares instead of all 3. I'd like 
to know why? All machines use an identical smb.conf


Regards, Lou

Re: Re: privoxy kinda slowish

[Lou]

Thank you both Sthu and John for your replies.

Can you tell me what version of privoxy you both are using in 
debian/squeeze? There is the repository version (3.0.16), and then there 
is the deb you can download from the privoxy sourceforge website (3.0.19).


None of them load sites reasonable well when set in cautious mode. I 
also noticed, how version 3.0.19 in ubuntu/precise runs fast on the same 
websites, even with filtering enabled.


It all points to miss-configuration on my part, or the package in 
squeeze has a problem I don't know of.


Since it runs so well in ubuntu with plain default actions, I don't 
understand what's wrong with the same defaults I use in squeeze.


I enabled the debug mode and checked for errors in 
/var/log/privoxy/logfile , but that won't point me to a possible problem.


Any ideas what to look at when speed drops like that?

Regards,

Lou

I just use the default actions on debian/squezze, and no tor.


Unless You use TOR, it should be any slower even if You use filters.

The plugin's included in jre and jdk - if you don't see it in

The debian-way of adding this link is to place an entry called 
mozilla-javaplugin.so to /etc/alternatives :


sudo update-alternatives --install 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozilla-javaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so 
/usr/lib/jvm/j2sdk1.6-oracle/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 3


sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-javaplugin.so

choose your weapon there if you got multiple solutions
after that consider testing java @ 
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp - it might complain java 7 
is out, but you can ignore that until February/2013, just make sure to 
keep java6 up to date.

Re: Re: How /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny and smb.conf play along

[Lou]

Thanks for clearing this up Juan and Shawn.

I noticed I could change smbd to run in inetd mode if I flip the switch 
in /etc/default/samba, but I don't known how this would improve things, 
eventually create new drawback in cifs performance ... so I'll keep it 
as it is with additional smb.conf entries + daemon mode.


The server is behind a router/firewall, it should be safe as it is.



On 26.04.2012 12:54, shawn wilson wrote:

Juan is correct. However my two cents - don't rely on hosts.allow and
hosts.deny for anything. Just use iptables rules to do this type of thing.

Also, most don't consider samba to be a very secure service (last CVE
was only a few weeks ago) so be very careful with this service.

On Apr 26, 2012 5:37 AM, Juan Sierra Pons juan@elsotanillo.netwrote

I think the problem here is between tcpwrapper linux implementation
and the the samba package.
Are you running samba as a daemon or from then inetd?

I think you are running it as a daemon and I believe (check on the
internet) samba must be compiled in a tcpwrapper friendly way (I don't
know if this is the default)

Running samba from inetd must work OK as inetd is tcpwrapper friendly.

If this doesn't help you you can try iptables (but your workaround
is OK too)

Re: Re: How /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny and smb.conf play along

[Lou]

Hello Clive

Thanks for pointing me to to ipcalc,

I noticed smb.conf  has a commented entry for 127.0.0.0/8

This would cover the whole local subnet:

HostMin:   127.0.0.1
HostMax:   127.255.255.254

Does it make sense to cover more than 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 in 
/etc/hosts.allow ?


I don't know of any service using any other than those two addresses. 
First one is localhost, the other one should be there for X-server 
compatibility.

Not sure about that. You can check it with ipcalc (in the ipcalc package):

Actually this is an MS-DOS binary, which might complicate things for you 
if you no longer have a working dos environment like a bootable floppy 
or a stick installation. This is why I posted the wiki link: the article 
explains how to create a bootable freedos image with the exe included. 
Since I still had a working MS-DOS 6.22 floppy I used that one, but the 
wiki howto (Verwendung von FreeDOS) looks straightforward to me as well.


The binary archive can be downloaded from the wd support site [1] there 
is a text file inside that explains the update procedure.

Do you have any advices about the Samsung drives in the mdadm raid? Can I
put them to sleep normally or do I have to tell mdadm that it has to spin
down the drives?



This seems to be a controversial topic - some people report no problems 
with md raid standby, some disagree because mdraid does not handle it 
well should one array member sleep and another member doesn't.


Maybe you can choose a solution where you unmount the array before you 
put them to sleep, just to be on the save side? I never used this, since 
I prefer to shutdown a server on inactivity, and wake it up again using 
WOL or acpi wakeup.


Good Luck!

Hallo Ramon,

Therefore I uncommented the spindown_time line and set the value to
241 which should spin down all the drives after 30 minutes.

To speed up testing I have set spindown_tim = 1 but the drives still

Can I check the access to the discs from a log?
Or maybe I should create a sudo hdparm -C /dev/sd? log which checks 
the drive states every 15 minutes or so?


Maybe it's just the hddtemp daemon with the temperature polls keeping 
your data drive(s) awake? To find out more exactly I suggest you monitor 
r/w access in syslog:


#this will put a comment about read/write access into your syslog:
echo 1  /proc/sys/vm/block_dump

#live monitoring syslog:
tail -f /var/log/syslog

#switch off syslog r/w comments:
echo 1  /proc/sys/vm/block_dump

Hopefully this will give you the necessary hints

Cheers!

Btw: As you didn't write anything else hdparm should have no problem
spinning down sata drives?

Do you know if I can check the hdparm setting somewhere? Like hdparm -C
to show me the spindown setting?


It depends on the drive - there is hdparm -I /dev/device that offers a 
capability and a command feature section. From the looks at my output

(where hdparm -S int works alright) there is this option:

   *Power Management feature set

Maybe this is mandatory for hdparm to work with your hardware, I'm not sure.


And do I have to restart the system or is it enough the do a /etc/init.d/
hdparm restart?



Nope, hdparm -S value /dev/drive should have immediate effect, but 
it could be different for the conf file in /etc - I hope somebody else 
can help you there, since I never used that file, but wrote a 
shellscript to set hdparm -S int upon boot.



When I turn logging on, I only get lots of messages from the system drive
and not from any other. So it should work?


At least that's a good sign for drive access, another way to check it is 
to unmount the data drive(s) completely, then set sleep time to a 
minimum with hdparm -S int drive , then wait while monitoring syslog :-)

Lou

It's very good you mention this - the WD Green series is a pain in the

http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WD_IntelliPark
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/479998#479998

In order to avoid high load cycle counts it is highly recommended to 
disable intellipark using WDIDLE3.exe, after that your load cycle counts 
should not raise anymore and the traditional ata commands like hdparm -S 
/dev/device 6 should work again, thus switch off your green drive 
after 30 seconds (int is a multiple of 5 accdoring to the hdparm manpage)


Please take care to only use capital -S parameter, not -s ... 
otherwise it could mess up the device firmware.

Quickcam Express

Bonjour à tous,

Après de nombreuses recherches et tentative en tout genre je me permet de
relancé le sujet Quickcam Express.

Donc pour résumé, le module qc-usb compile bien, se charge bien mais lors de
la moindre utilisation de la camera toutes les applis(xawtv, cheese,
effectv, freej, ekiga) se crash.
Ci dessous le log /var/log/messages avec les info kernel (avec xawtv).

Quelqu'un à essayer de compiler le pilote sans les sources packager debian ?

il y a quelque mois, j'ai vu qqun soupsonner nvidia dans cette affaire,
qu'en est il ?

evolution 2.0 broken on sarge

[Lou Ruppert]

Ignoring the irony of asking people to email about whether their email
has died, has anyone had any problems like the following?:

When I updated my Sarge apt packages last night, upgrading from
evolution 1.x to 2.x, the conversion process hung during the contacts
conversion.  I tried it eight or nine times before simply blowing away
my configuration entirely (removing ~/evolution, .evolution,
.gconf/apps/evolution, and rebooting just to be safe).  I was then able
to start evolution, but if I try to hit 'reply' or compose a new
message, the whole application dies.

Thinking there was a curse on my environment, I created another user and
tried the same thing, getting the same results.  Any attempt to
communicate with the outside world via Evolution 2 is met with severe
punishment.

Wondering if maybe my system was wedged in some way beyond my
understanding, I went to a client's laptop I've been installing with the
until-now-perfectly-stable Sarge setup, and tried the same things.  In
one case, where the user was brand new, it started more or less stably,
but in the case where I converted from his previous files (evolution
1.x) evolution didn't hang during the conversion, but crashed on startup
afterwards, and then every subsequent time I attempted it.

So, my question is, does anyone know how to get the wretched thing to
work, or to file a more formal set of bug reports?  I can only use my
web-based email for so long before my eyeballs begin to bleed.

  Even though I still have a bunch of stock, and I'm a linux 
  lover now, so 
  I cheer if it goes up and I cheer if it goes down, I was expecting 
  Europe to really nail Microsoft to the wall.  I dunno, I 
  expected some 
  surrogate America-bashing, or just a really f-you to an American 
  company.  Even though it's a record for the EU, it's a pittance to 
  Microsoft and will be barely noticed.
  
  What happened?  Do they just have not much power?  Why so light?

 I doubt anyone in Microsoft regards it a pittance.
 Just because they are able to pay, does not mean they will be happy
 about paying.
 
They may not like it, however, with over $50 billion in cash reserves
paying a $600 million fine is sort of like a normal person paying a
speeding ticket.  We don't like paying the ticket either but it usually
does not do much to keep you from speeding again, just makes you more
observant to avoid the police.

 A $5000 speeding ticket.

Don't understand how you figure that...

$600 million is only 1.2% of the $50 billion cash reserve.  So if I had
to pay a fine of $5000 that would imply I had a $416,666 cash reserve.

So if I had $10,000 cash reserve I figure my fine would be about $120.

Perhaps you have more money in the bank than I do!

 Why not use fetchmail to fetch it?
 
 To delete the mails without downloading, use poppy.

If you desire to do it manually, you can use telnet to connect to the
POP server.  Briefly, here is the commands required:

telnet pop.server.ipaddr 110
USER x
PASS y
STAT
LIST x
RETR x
DELE x
QUIT

where:
110 is the normal POP port
x is your userid on the server
y is your password
x is the msg in question
