Re: Re: Issue with OpenVPN inside a LXC container: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/sbin/openvpn: Permission denied

2019-07-17 Thread Simon Bernier St-Pierre

Thanks a ton!

I'm running this container on my private network behind a NAT, so I'm 
not too worried about disabling apparmor. I ended up just giving as 
loose of a configuration I could and it did the trick.


lxc.apparmor.profile = unconfined
lxc.apparmor.allow_nesting = 1
lxc.apparmor.allow_incomplete = 1

The first line alone did not seem to do the trick, so I added 2 and 3 
and it worked. Good enough for me.


Thanks again!



Issue with OpenVPN inside a LXC container: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/sbin/openvpn: Permission denied

2019-07-16 Thread Simon Bernier St-Pierre
I have a LXC container which is connected to a remote VPN using OpenVPN. 
After upgrading to buster, the VPN does not start anymore.


I'm using Debian buster on my host OS and Debian buster on the guest OS. 
Both were updated from stretch. Aside from OpenVPN there's only deluged 
and deluge-web that are installed.


This is the journalctl log for the openvpn service:

Blaming? Did I say a word about Stable becoming less and less

Wheezy elsewhere because the stuff provided by maintainers just
didn't work right? No. I've been biting the bullet and solving

Systemd/Linux is not, because it just isn't Unix any more.
21 years' worth of hard work simply goes down the drain.

Once again, I don't blame anyone. It's sort of natural that all
good things get spoilt, the better they are the sooner. It's a
miracle Debian kept it up this long, considering the unparalleled
quality of Woody.

There is no blaming. There is pity.

iceweasel "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt"

2014-10-26 Thread St-Laurent, Pierre
Hi,

I use debian stable (wheezy) on my amd-64 laptop. Somewhere over the last weeks 
my iceweasel stopped playing mp4 videos.
I get the error message "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt".

iceweasel was playing the same video file perfectly fine a few weeks ago. I 
haven't changed anything to the laptop except for security updates (apt-get 
update, apt-get upgrade).
It might be a coincidence, but I noticed that my iceweasel was recently updated 
to 31.2.0 through security updates.
So I *think* the problem is with the iceweasel package, but I might be wrong.

How to reproduce the problem:

Type "http://www.nordet.net/etc/noreaster.mp4"; in the url bar
I get "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt".
If I download the mp4 file on the hard drive and play it through mplayer or 
totem, the video plays fine.

Has anybody noticed a similar problem?

Thanks for your time,
Pierre

Trouble replacing an LVM disk

So there's an LVM volume consisting of 3 disks that was created
by the Debian Installer. One of the disks develops problems
(offline uncorrectable sectors) so I buy a fourth, the same size
exactly. Now, I pvcreate /dev/sde, and I vgextend bigstore /dev/sde,
and I try to pvmove /dev/sdb1. Doesn't work.

Somehow, creating and adding a disk manually gives 1 PE less:

  PV Name   /dev/sdb1
  VG Name   bigstore
  PV Size   3000592939.52 kB / not usable 440.83 kB
  Allocatable   yes (but full)
  PE Size   4194.30 kB
  Total PE  715397

  PV Name   /dev/sde
  VG Name   bigstore
  PV Size   3000590369.28 kB / not usable 2064.90 kB
  Allocatable   yes
  PE Size   4194.30 kB
  Total PE  715396

Once again, the disks are as similar as can be. Here's the relevant
part of /proc/partitions:

   8   16 2930266584 sdb
   8   17 2930266542 sdb1

Re: Problems installing wheezy

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I am facing lot of problems in installing wheezy.

1) I downloaded the dvd-1 image of amd-64 precisely debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1
for installing wheezy. I checked the md5sum of my downloaded file and it was
the same as of the original. So the image was verified.

Being a hybrid image, I just ran the following commands to make a bootable usb
stick
cp debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /dev/sdc/
sync


I'm not sure how it could work at all, device file not being a
directory. Even if it worked, though, it did a wrong thing.

Disk images are to be transferred to disk, not to a file system.

So,

1. Do NOT mount the target flash drive. If something asks you
about that, just click Cancel.

2. Use the appropriate command to copy the *contents* of the
image file to the medium, *not* the *file* itself. Say, if
dmesg confirms that your device was attached as /dev/sdc, do

cat debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso > /dev/sdc

This may be not the optimal way to do this, but would work as
expected. Unless, that is, you're trying to create a bootable
DVD, in which case growisofs is the way to go.

Anyway, please do read the Installation Guide before proceeding.
There may be more problems ahead if you don't.


Now that /home
contained a .config folder which is giving many errors at startup on mint,


Check ownership. Debian assignes UIDs to normal users
starting with 1000. Other systems may use different
values, and that could lead to problems.

"ls -l" and "chown -R" are your friends here.


Will it happen in debian?


Maybe. Maybe not. It's all about UID mapping, and there are
no rules cut in stone for this.


Should I really backup my /home partition.


Backups never hurt.


While on
ubuntu I had compiled many software and libraries in my /home folder itself.
Will they all work again in debian (or mint) or do I need to install them
again?


Anyone's guess. While I've been using some self-compiled binaries
since Debian Woody, some other things might get broken.

Whether they work or not, keeping binaries in /home is a very, very
bad habit. /usr/local is the place.


Thats it, those are the two problems that I am facing as of yet.


I've only detected one: you haven't read the documentation.
Get to http://www.debian.org/ before you go any further,
and give the Installation Guide a shot. Half an hour's
reading that can still save you days.

Re: Owner change on USB stick

Ethan Rosenberg, PhD wrote:


I formatted a usb stick on my desktop into two partitions, vfat and ext2 and
then setup a directory structure in the Linux partition.  I then moved the usb
stick to my laptop and inserted files into the directories that were created.
When I moved the sub stick back to the desktop, the owner of the files and
directories had changed. When I moved the usb stick to the laptop, the owner
changed again.

How can I prevent this from happening?


Ethan,

Filesystems know nothing about users or groups. They only store
numerical UIDs and GIDs. It's /etc/passwd and /etc/group files that
store the information to convert UIDs and GIDs to readable user and
group names. Since UIDs and GIDs are usually assigned automatically
when you create users and groups, they may, and often do, differ
across different systems, and that's what happened in your case,
apparently.

One solution is to use something like NIS so that all your systems
used one external user/group database. It's usually an overkill though,
and if your NIS server goes down or becomes inaccessible, you're stuck.

Another is to sync UID/GID databases manually. I guess I've heard
about some program that facilitates the process, but it's no big
deal running adduser with --uid and --gid options when you have
less than 10 users on each system or only add about 1 user a month.
Just make sure to first create the user or the group on the system
with highest UID/GID already in use so they don't overlap, then
`id $new_user` to see the UID/GID assigned and use those UID and
GID when creating the user on other systems.

Since your databases already differ, though, they require a
cleanup first. Choose the system with the most users as the
reference one, and edit UIDs and GIDs on others to match. The
files that need to be edited are /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow,
/etc/group, and /etc/gshadow. You might want to use vipw,
vipw -s, vigr, and vigr -s commands to do so. Then, run
`chown -R user:gid /home/user` for every user, and that's it.
Just make sure everybody's logged out while you're at that.

You only need to sync "real" users and groups, those with
UID/GID>=1000. Users created by the system for its own
convenience don't normally log into other systems and usually
don't own files you might want to copy preserving ownership.

Oh, and be sure to back up your existing user/group databases
listed above before you start. If you have direct physical
access to all those systems, it might be a good thought to put
them into single-user mode while you work, too. You don't risk
losing data by changing user databases or UIDs and GIDs, but
it can surely mess things up as home directories are also
stored in /etc/passwd. Imagine logging into your account just
to find your home directory belongs to somebody else or you've
got someone else's $HOME. That sort of things. No big deal if
these home dirs don't contain sensitive information, but surely
a mess.

Hope this helps. Let's see what others have to say first,
though. There might exist a simpler and thus safer way.

Installing Debian 5 Lenny 64bit from DVD - Problem

2009-05-28 Thread St. Joseph's College of Engineering and Technology
Sir,

*Sub : Installing Debian 5 Lenny 64bit from DVD - Problem*


  I downloaded *DVD version of Debian 5 Linux 64bit (IA) from your site
( 2 ISO images)*, I tried to install it on my* Intel Core2 Duo* machine.
while trying to boot form the DVD ROM, No boot screen for Debian, a cursor
is blinking and system hangup only. I also tried to install it on VMware
Workstation 6.5 for Windows, same problem.

What is the reason?

*Intel Dual Core possessor suppet ET64, is this version is not suited for my
computer.*

I used it for testing, after successful installation and configuration, we
planned to implement our DSpace digital library on Debian 5. (Server : IBM
x3400 - Dual Quad Core Xeon Processor with 2 GB RAM and RAID 5)


Need help

kernel panic on remote server after security update

2004-09-15 Thread Erisian St. Vinge
Hello,
  My remote server is down right now and I think it is
because of the kernel-image update from
security.debian.org. I've been running woody for about
a year and the machine has been up and going and I've
updated the kernel-image.

Then the machine rebooted itself and it has come up
with a kernel panic. My guess is that this is related
to some problem with the bootloader or LILO. I was
just hoping that someone could refer me to a likely
fix for this since I'm not even in the city with the
machine and I have to forward this to my partner who
helps to run it so that he can work on it when he goes
to the co-locate.

I'm sorry that I don't have the specifics but I don't
have access to the box right now.

Thanks for any help,
 Vinge.

I'm not sure but it looks like you're looking for [space][dash][dash]
beginning in the first column, when it's supposed to be
[dash][dash][space], though I've noticed many people are omitting the
[space].

Oh how I wish that were true!  I'd be able to get my HP 3400C scanner
working.  If HP were truly Debian (or even just Linux) friendly they'd
provide specs to Bertrik Sikken ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) who's trying to
write the SANE backend for it.

Do you have a file called "/etc/fstab" ?  That is the filesystem table, ie
this is what the system looks at at boot time to determine what disks to
mount.  So for example, here's mine:

$ cat /etc/fstab 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
/dev/hda3   /   ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro   0  1
/dev/hda2   noneswapsw   0  0
proc/proc   procdefaults 0  0
/dev/hda4   /usr/local ext2 defaults 0  2
$

So for each partition you want mounted at boot time, you need an entry
(in addition to /proc and swap), just do "man fstab" (and also "man
mount") for the meanings of the various options.

hope that helps,

marc
