Security updates for wheezy breaking my FAI-installation
Hello, recently I've encountered this problem when doing a server-installation with FAI from CD. There seems to be some security updates that break the dependencies I rely on. As of now I've disabled the security repository on the install-CD and enable it when the server is rebooted and do a regular apt-get update && apt-get upgrade at which point I can install the security updates as expected. -- The following packages have unmet dependencies: libmysqlclient18 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.13-38+deb7u6 is installed. libcurl3 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17) but 2.13-38+deb7u6 is installed. Depends: librtmp1 (>= 2.4+20131018.git79459a2-3~) which is a virtual package. Depends: libssh2-1 (>= 1.2.6) but it is not going to be installed. libgd2-xpm : Conflicts: libgd2 which is a virtual package. Conflicts: libgd2-noxpm but 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6.1 is to be installed. libcurl3-gnutls : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17) but 2.13-38+deb7u6 is installed.

I read "...core #..." as "...the number of cores on the machine...". Hm, yes, your interpretation is also possible. Anyway, is it possible at all to determine the particular core the current script is running? I mean, there is one underlying shell process. But if the script uses a pipeline, a command that is not builtin in bash, or just a simple while loop, etc. there will surely be further (sub)processes. I doubt they are all running on the same core. Therefore the particular core a shell script is running on doesn't seem to be sensible? Perhaps the OP wants to use taskset, cpuset and the like. But without providing much more details...

However you may run something like # lsof -i UDP:123 | grep ^ntpd You also can look (grep?) in /var/log/daemon.log for messages like ntpd[12345]: ntp engine ready ntpd[12345]: peer 1.2.3.4 now valid ntpd[12345]: clock is now synced Perhaps it also helps to check the periodically written drift file /var/lib/openntpd/ntpd.drift. Also sending "a SIGINFO signal, it [ntpd] will write its peer and sensor status to syslog" does not work either as there is no SIGINFO signal in Linux. ntpd(8) is wrong here.

But consider time jumps just after booting won't make reconstructing things easier in case something goes wrong. Maybe some process already started before ntpd also won't be very amused about that.

Yes, but expect some tricky fiddling :-) However, comparing the bug history - some of chrony's ones haven't been handled or closed for 5+ years, also the relevant ones here - and the number of users of chrony (847) and openntpd (1902), I strongly suggest you considering a switch to the openntpd package.

No, you only have to take care about the trailing slash of the source A. See rsync(1): A trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to avoid creating an additional directory level at the destination. You can think of a trailing / on a source as meaning "copy the contents of this directory" as opposed to "copy the directory by name", but in both cases the attributes of the containing directory are transferred to the containing directory on the destination. In other words, each of the following commands copies the files in the same way, including their setting of the attributes of /dest/foo: rsync -av /src/foo /dest rsync -av /src/foo/ /dest/foo The trailing slash of the target directory B is irrelevant: $ mkdir -p foo/dir $ touch foo/file foo/dir/file foo/.hidden foo/dir/.hidden $ rsync -av --exclude='.*' foo target1 $ rsync -av --exclude='.*' foo target2/ The results are identical directories ./target1 and ./target2.

We're talking about locally installed > fonts here, living beyond the package manager's realm. Yes, so do I. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. My ~/.fonts.conf lists several directories: snip ~/.fonts ~/fonts/sourcecodepro ~/fonts/sourcesanspro snip Each font family I use, consists of serveral font files, e.g. 6 files for Adobe SourceCodePro, 13 files for Adobe SourceSansPro, etc. To keep things clear I simply don't want to put all these files into one single directory, neither into ~/.fonts (for a single user) nor into /usr/local/share/fonts (for all local users). I left them in separate directories which I called "original directories" in my previous mail and adapted ~/.fonts.conf accordingly.

Yes, here it is, too, and there's no need to alter this file. The above link is a little bit misleading. For short: Don't run fc-cache as normal user. You don't want to have in ~/.fontconfig a mixture of cache files for all the system font directories /usr/share/fonts/* with those for the user font directories specified in your ~/.fonts.conf. The former ones are located in /var/cache/fontconfig (you don't have write permissions for it) and are handled by the package management hooks. You can simply remove ~/.fontconfig completely and let it rebuild automatically. To initiate this rebuild just now, run, e.g. fc-list.

You can use rm -v to see them being deleted :) This is too complicated: too many subshells, too many pipelines. $ cd /dir/with/files && LC_ALL=C ls menu-* | head -n -7 | xargs -r rm will do the job: * cd ... and && ensure that the directory exists and if (and only if it does the pipeline will be executed. * LC_ALL=C ls menu-* lists all relevant files, one file per line, in the correct ascending order after the shell had expanded the "*". * head -n -7 lists all but the last 7 lines. * xargs -r will only call rm if there is some input.

To get all the customization possibilities, take a look at the fontconfig machinery and the packages fontconfig and fontconfig-config which are almost certainly installed as you use XFCE. Also, fonts-conf(5) contains an example user configuration file ~/.fonts.conf, so that your font files (.ttf, .otf) may remain in their original directories and need not to be mixed together in *one* of the directories mentioned above by Siard. Finally $ fc-list will give you feedback if the fonts had been found and installed correctly. You don't need to logout or to restart as the cache files in ~/.fontconfig will be updated automatically.

your nomenclature is fine and try to solve the acknowledgement

getmail replacing fetchmail (was: POP3 in Debian)

OTOH it would be > interesting to know the other side of the story. I got curious about getmail so I just gave it a try and it seems to be quite nice. But apart from fetchmail's "security history" and the asserted complexity of its config file, that was pointed to several times in the (in some way emotionally heated) document linked above, getmail lacks two features at first glance: (a) Any SSL certification check avoiding a man-in-the-middle attack. (b) A mechanism for direct re-injection retrieved messages via SMTP to the client machine's port 25. Concerning a) it may possibly be implemented by stunnel somehow. For now I haven't figured it out. And concerning b) getmail itself provides a mechanism handing over the retrieved messages via a pipe (e.g. using /usr/sbin/sendmail to the MTA). Of course the needed additional process(es) are far away from being as efficient as direct delivery via SMTP. (Although getmail doesn't (and won't) support (b) and other solutions are recommended in the docs and its mailing list's messages, there may be situations where "going through the MTA" is necessary.) Well, for the moment it seems to me that this is the price of replacing fetchmail - and of "The Unix Way (tm) - do one thing and do it well" :-) Regards, Mathias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is this a general advice? If so, then why? Or is it your advice for the OP's aim to directly deliver messages to a mbox or maildir without exim and without running an MDA. Yes, I checked the short package descriptions of getmail and mpop. And I'm using fetchmail for myself (but no POP3s) without any problems.

set privoxy to rewrite http to https
I use the KB SSL Enforcer https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/flcpelgcagfhfoegekianiofphddckof?hl=en so i could browse the net safer [i mean webserver <-> me] with using https, if available. The problem is: e.g.: facebook... if i go to https://www.facebook.com/ that's ok, it's https. But all the links are "http" on the site.. if i click on a "http" link, it will request the page on "http", and THEN it switches to "https". Heres the problem. How/where could i write a privoxy rule, to rewrite all the "http" links to "https"? [so that it would by always trully over https] Are there any "general" rules (with privoxy), so that i don't have to write rules / site? with the KB SSL Enforcer its always first http, then it recognizes that the site can do https, than it switches to it.

Google Chrome Terms of Service(Google Chrome executable), BSD (source code and Chromium executable except chromium 5 beta),BSD License with proprietary parts (source code and chromium 5 beta executable, as it integrates Adobe Flash Player 10.1[1])[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome in my interpretation, this means Google Chrome is fully open-source, only the flash player has proprietary codes. am i right, or i'm missing something? i would be happy if someone could correct me. thank you!! *ps.: because "they" say google is the "big brother"
openssl chat
i can use "natively" openssl for anonymous chat: # Chat: # server side: openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:8192 -keyout mycert.pem -out mycert.pem # server side - generate a self-signed cert. openssl s_server -accept 52310 -cert mycert.pem # client side - "127.0.0.1" is the IP of the server openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:52310 1) but how can i set it to require username/password? it would be a great chat tool 2) how can i transfer files with openssl? [again: with username/password?] thank you for any ideas :\ p.s.: or it will be a firewall rule, to restrict to ip addresses in a list? those, who are only allowed to connect..

Hum... I'm not very good at "bashing" but, something like this? :-?

Have you already tried the editres program (package x11-utils)?
Keep xpdf running and start editres. After getting the resource
tree into editres you can alter nearly any resource while xpdf is
running. The altered resources can be saved.
Your question applies to some branch of the
".xpdf.win.form.toolBar.*" tree.
Good luck!

I've got an 82558 and 82559 in the same machine and both work great without problems using the e100 kernel driver. Also, you mentioned etho and eth1 being bumped around. Udev did this to me with the same two eth cards mentioned above when I moved one of them to a different PCI slot. I then researched the problem and had to create a udev rule to always name the 82559 as eth0 and 82558 as eth1. I'm guessing something similar happened to you when you first noticed problems. This isn't a problem with the ethernet drivers but is a problem with udev. Yeah, now that you mention it, that sounds like it, as I recall it. It was a few years ago since I installed it, and I can't rememeber the error messages and such, and I have wiped it clean, this past week. I was wresting with that issue for a while, but forgot about it, and then now when it totally stopped working after the update, I thought it was time to change a few things. Mysql server failed to start, etc. Whenever I installed another kernel than the working (2.6.22 or 24) it wouldn't boot, just re-start itself. Of course I could have stayed with it and try to resolve all this issues, as I always did in the past, but I guess I am getting old and lazy, so I just installed Etch and it worked, upgraded to lenny and now everything seems to work fine. :) But if you want, I can start digging in memory archives, and try to back track all that was faulty with the old setup. ;) Mat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Detection issues, package drop/lost issues, connection problems, intermittent errors, system locks...? Well, I kinda just did, in the previous post/mail. But if you want I can describe it. It's a Serverworks III LE machine with the NIC on the motherboard, and a long time ago I installed what was lenny/sid back then, I think. Had some problems with it, but nothing major, then with a recent upgrade it stopped working, and new kernels wouldn't work either, just re-boot/reset. So now I have managed to install stable/lenny on it, from scratch. I saved all the data, home and etc on another disc for later use. I guess I'll use e100 from now on, but back then when it was not working properly, the e100 was installed with the default kernel. Yesterday I complied my own kernel so now I'm doing the finishing touches on the system. This server is a SMP/Dual P3 with 768MB RAM and will be used as a ftp, ssh, apache (very little, mysql and a few others. Let me know if you need more info. ;) Mat

But I think, the eclipse 3.5 simple installation may depend on some configurations of my old eclipse 3.2 installation. That is, I may not un-install eclipse 3.2 while expecting eclipse 3.5 would work properly. Is that the case ? Anyway, thank you for all your suggestions. Yeah, seeing how the apt system on debian mostly works to maintain and upgrade the packages to newer version, the 3.4 that is in unstable would replace the 3.2 one, unless some changes were made to the newer package. As mentioned earlier, creating a symlink in /usr/bin seems like a good idea too. Mat

Problems with the install kernel on serverworks chipset.
When I install Debian 5.0 lenny and reboot, the linux never makes in past the first post but crashes/reboots at once. I can run Knoppix 5.3.1 (kernel 2.6.26) on DVD and older knoppix versions on the machine, so it's not a total havoc. I also used to run an older linux on this machine with kerne image 2.4.22 or 24, on it. I've tried the 2.6-486 as well, but no luck. The installation goes fine, so that one works. But there is something in the linux image that doesn't work for me, maybe it's not supporting Serverworks III LE chipset, or something. Are there any alternative install discs/isos, unsupported that has a kernel that might work for me? It's worth a try. I'm not new to linux either, have been using linux since ca 1998 and installed it over 100 times on different machines, 15 of those I have in my house/basement. So no lack of knowledge there. The machine is a HP NetServer E800 with ASUS CUR-DLS mobo, dual P-III. Any tips? I am also now going to try and install an older version of Debian, (etch) to see if I can use it to upgrade with, and use another kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

TrendMicro Interscan Viruswall v6.02 on Etch
Hello, we're using TrendMicro Interscan Viruswall v6.02 (HTTP engine only) on Debian Etch (32bit SMP). After some debugging and customising the installer went through and the software is running with great performance. There's one little problem but TrendMicro doesn't support Debian so... After running it a while we encountered problems with the automatic pattern updates. Sometimes (can be once a week, less or more) the HTTP engine fails to start after the automatic pattern updates. It says (see more at the bottom of this mail): "2007/12/18 05:00:13,-12143223,Daemon failed to start" Curiously it happens almost everytime at 5am but not always. So we did a bit debugging but that's not easy with closed software. We changed some configuration and kernel values because it uses a lot of RAM kernel.shmall = 2147483648 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 but still the same. We're using this version: http://www.trendmicro.com/download/product.asp?productid=13 -> ISVW_v6.02_7672_release.tar.gz It's a trial version so you can try also if you want to. Problems with the installer are easy to fix, just ask if you are interested. So if anybody has a hint or knows the problem just let me know, thanks.
