 I do not understand the last posting above.

I was trying to say you took me seriously when you
should have seen only humour. I didn't mean we
_should_ have a mailing list, specific to debian, for
_every_ package. Unfortunately, I thought it was so
obviously silly, that I forgot to put the smiley at the
end of the suggestion.

And then, to my surprise, you pointed out to me that
there are in fact per-app (debian specific) lists, of
which I was not aware.

The things we learn eh :)

Apologies for the confusion,
Zenaan

I recommend going back to read that initial reply from Dr. Jeckyll
to my email way above. In the hindsight of understanding, you might
find the whole episode very funny. (Or not - I have been told I've a
strange sense of humour :)

Be careful where you see humour,

We need a list for each package! You can't ruly home in

Sometimes, those lists should have a repeater which
copies each message to a corresponding upstream list

so mutt-debian-users@.., postgresql-debian-users@... etc.

There should probably be some combo lists but rather
than as you suggest for distro version, they should be
for combinations of packages.

VLC error polluting terminal ( was: Re: testing-dedicated ML? ( was Re: End of hypocrisy ? ) )

2014-07-22 Thread berenger . morel



Le 22.07.2014 00:00, Paul E Condon a écrit :

Please help.


Wow nice off-topic... I have no idea about where this is related to the 
question of the interest of splitting debian-user ML into a stable and a 
testing ML...


Anyway, we can guess from what you posted that you have started vlc 
somewhere.


To add to what other have replied, I guess that you have started VLC 
with the same terminal you use for mutt, with an invocation like this 
vlc .
If I'm right, then those messages are normal, you summoned VLC from a 
terminal, VLC use it as stdin, stdout and stderr. For a reason I do not 
know, it have some problems with some requests which has been sent to 
it, so it complains on it's stderr.


There are more than one solutions:

* start VLC from another terminal or a graphic stuff(alt+F2 is a common 
shortcut under linux's DEs to summon a dialog to start things), so that 
it won't pollute your mutt terminal

* start VLC through nohup, like this $ nohup vlc
* start VLC and redirect it standard outputs (which is what nohup does) 
for example into /dev/null: $ vlc /dev/null 2/dev/null 


Hope it helps.

Since we are here, if you are a terminal user, you might find mpd + mpc 
(and other frontends like ario, ncmpcpp, lot of widgets to pin on 
taskbars, and lot of other clients) interesting. The stronger point 
about mpd+mpc is that you'll be able to integrate it into your window 
manager, because mpd is a daemon and mpc a command-line tool, so it's 
damn easy to bind mpc to the shortcuts you want.
For videos, you might use mplayer or mpv, which are more specialized 
and so lighter than VLC.

 There is one
 
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/

No, there isn't.

There's a reason why the debian-testing ML is listed as a development
list, and not user list: this one is *specific* for the testing of the
current stable to the next stable upgrade path, and also matters with the
next stable debian installer.

It sees heavier traffic during the freeze that prepares the next stable
release.  I suppose it can be extended to rolling-upgrade matters (stable to
testing) as well. 

However, testing to testing upgrade problems, and issues with breakages in
testing itself are NOT on that ML's charter.

 but a quick look at the its archives shows that it isn't a heavily
 used list and that it's not a list for freaking out about systemd.

Indeed it is not :-)

 Neither is this one, but that doesn't seem to stop people :-)

:)

It is the point too though, and I think a point made very well.
And I think it would be perfectly effective. eg:

- This *is* debian 'testing' list - if you're not up to testing, or it
gets too hot around here, please, go back to stable.

- This *is* debian 'unstable' list - what is your expectation of
transitioning new software into debian 'testing'?

- This *is* debian stable list - what are you doing complaining about
debian testing/ unstable?

_That_ has got to be about the perfect response to certain ahem
complaints shall we call them  :)

It would require a concensus to 'activate' the debian-testing list. Is
there a debian-unstable - or perhaps that should just be part of
debian-testing?

Or is it all too much, too many lists?

The idea seems quite appealing to me.

gets too hot around here, please, go back to stable.

- This *is* debian 'unstable' list - what is your expectation of
transitioning new software into debian 'testing'?

- This *is* debian stable list - what are you doing complaining about
debian testing/ unstable?

_That_ has got to be about the perfect response to certain ahem

It would require a concensus to 'activate' the debian-testing list. Is
there a debian-unstable - or perhaps that should just be part of
debian-testing?

Or is it all too much, too many lists?

The idea seems quite appealing to me.




Some of us are actually interested in knowing what's going on with 
testing, before it becomes stable.  Separating the lists seems like a 
very bad idea.

 Please help.
 
 Wow nice off-topic... I have no idea about where this is related to
 the question of the interest of splitting debian-user ML into a
 stable and a testing ML...
 
 Anyway, we can guess from what you posted that you have started vlc
 somewhere.
 
 To add to what other have replied, I guess that you have started VLC
 with the same terminal you use for mutt, with an invocation like this
 vlc .
 If I'm right, then those messages are normal, you summoned VLC from
 a terminal, VLC use it as stdin, stdout and stderr. For a reason I do
 not know, it have some problems with some requests which has been
 sent to it, so it complains on it's stderr.
 
 There are more than one solutions:
 
 * start VLC from another terminal or a graphic stuff(alt+F2 is a
 common shortcut under linux's DEs to summon a dialog to start
 things), so that it won't pollute your mutt terminal
 * start VLC through nohup, like this $ nohup vlc
 * start VLC and redirect it standard outputs (which is what nohup
 does) for example into /dev/null: $ vlc /dev/null 2/dev/null 
 
 Hope it helps.
 
 Since we are here, if you are a terminal user, you might find mpd +
 mpc (and other frontends like ario, ncmpcpp, lot of widgets to pin on
 taskbars, and lot of other clients) interesting. The stronger point
 about mpd+mpc is that you'll be able to integrate it into your window
 manager, because mpd is a daemon and mpc a command-line tool, so it's
 damn easy to bind mpc to the shortcuts you want.
 For videos, you might use mplayer or mpv, which are more specialized
 and so lighter than VLC.

I use xfce4 and gnome-terminal for reading mail in Mutt. I know that I
am on a mailing list that emails me links to youtube. This phenom has
started after a recent reinstall of Wheezy using v7.6 netinst CD. I
keep terminal windows open for long periods of time, including the
window for Mutt. Switching Mutt to a newly opened gnome-terminal
window made the problem go away. I haven't yet received an email from
the youtube list, or otherwise done something that might make it
reappear, but I think my fears of an alien invasion of my Wheezy have
been laid to rest. But actually eliminating the underling problem can
wait until I have more time and can think.

Concerning burying my request for help in an existing thread. I used
Emacs to delete the reply-to header line and thought that would be
enough. Obviously, not. I have learned yet another thing not to do. I
apologize. 

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Deleting In-Reply-To does stop (good) mail clients from considering the
message part of the same thread, though in some cases also deleting (or
perhaps modifying?) the References header would be appropriate /
necessary to achieve that effect.

The trouble is that you didn't then change the Subject line, so
less-well-behaved mail clients will still sort it as part of the same
thread, and even for people who use better ones the message is still
being presented as being about the subject of the previous thread.

That said, it seems to me like it would be *more* trouble to manually
alter message headers before sending that way than it would be to
manually enter the To address... so I don't entirely understand why
you'd want to do it that way to begin with, except perhaps just to see
if you can.

 The trouble is that you didn't then change the Subject line, so

 being presented as being about the subject of the previous thread.

Not fair. Given the amount of broken threads (even on Debian lists, 
where the ratio of better mail clients is significantly higher) setting 
strict_threads in Mutt is not a good idea.

Kind regards,

Here's what happened as I interpret it. (Some parts of this are
extrapolation, without having personally seen some of the evidence, but
it seems like the best fit for the observed events I do know of.)

Curt had previously seen Miles Fidelman posting in one style, presumably
a calm, friendly, tolerant sort of one.

Then Miles Fidelman made a post which Curt interpreted as being in a
more abrasive, hostile, or otherwise negative style.

Curt asked about two possible hypothetical explanations for this
perceived change of tone: a personality transplant, or a displaced
reaction to some traumatic event, such as the death of a (presumably
beloved) pet.

When questioned about what he meant by this question, Curt explained the
question (perhaps poorly) by making a reference to Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde, using the names of Miles Fidelman.

Then people promptly started expressing confusion over the whole thing,
and here we are.

 it seems, that there can good idea to provide separate ML for testing
 users.

 I agree, since testing is not for normal users (well... theoretically at
 least), so we could imagine that different MLs for (beta-)testing and
 productive usage (questions about how to do... and stable related bugs
 would go there, I guess).
 Now, I have no idea about the complexity of maintaining a new ML. Maybe
 there are also problems because some issues can not clearly affect only one
 of both testing and stable?

There is one

https://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/

but a quick look at the its archives shows that it isn't a heavily
used list and that it's not a list for freaking out about systemd.

LOL. Very true. I guess that I've become more or less immune to the
fact that can't be a reasonable discussion of certain topics.

However the users of debian-testing@ might not appreciate their list

Re: testing-dedicated ML? ( was Re: End of hypocrisy ? )

2014-07-21 Thread Paul E Condon
I use Wheezy. I have been using Debian since Potato, as I remember, I
started with Debian just after Y2K. I started out to write about the
debian-testing ML but first I need help with a crazyness in my mail
system that I just noticed, and must be a reinstall of wheezy that I
completed a few days ago. 

I use Mutt to read mail, Emacs is invoked to write mail, Fetchmail
gets mail via pop3 from my ISP, Procmail sorts it to mailboxes, and
mstmp sends email back to my ISP. When I started everybody on this 
list who seemed to be an old timer assured that this tool chain was
the right and proper way to do email (and never, ever, use html in
email ;-). Now when I started this email, I get a long string of error
messages in a form that I have never seen before. Here is a sample
of a few lines:

start
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(puzzle) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(puzzle) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(magnify) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(clone) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(clone) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(wall) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(wall) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(wall) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(erase) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(erase) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(erase) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(erase) is not safe!
[0x8c579e8] main libvlc error: vlc_object_find_name(marq) is not safe!
end

This appears in the window that was running Mutt and displaying the incoming
email until I pressed the final keystroke that transitioned me to Emacs.
What is this? And what can I do to fix it? IMHO this should not happen in
a plain vanilla stable release, or have I violated a recently established
rule of proper behavior?

Also, I just noticed that the last two lines are:
Error: Incorrect password
Error: Incorrect password

But never before have I had to enter a password, to write an email and,,
in reality, I wasn't offered an opportunity to enter a password. 

I attribute this to haveing having installed the most subnumber
release (7.6???), but that is just a guess.

Please help.
