I don't know what that means. The fact is that the Debian installer
does not set things up in the way you experience with Raspbian, so
you are repeatedly wasting everyone's time and polluting the
archives by asking questions about it here.

Most of the time that you do this you don't even make clear that
you're talking about something that isn't Debian, that is configured
differently to Debian and therefore behaves differently to Debian.

It's good that you eventually "solve" this by remembering the last
time that someone explained to you that Raspbian is configured
differently, but by that time you have just inserted more irrelevant
information into these archives and had a bunch of bystanders who
don't realise the situation chasing around for solutions for you.

If there is some problem with Debian I'm sure we could discuss it
and document solutions to it, which is what this list is for. So
let's do that - when you have a concrete real-world problem that you
can poke at with the list's assistance, not some problem with
something that isn't Debian. Especially when we've done this exact
thing a few times already.

Andy

While that might be a possibility, Tomas, some of the results from the 
latency-tests would certainly point to more digging to see why it was as 
bad as it wasn't. Latency-test is a pretty brutal test, and an armhf is 
clean if it does 12 microseconds. Really good wintel stuff running intel 
versions of the kernel on a 4ghz machine can't do any better than 3 u-
seconds. AMD stuff is generally a few u-secs worse. I was amazed to see 
4.5 u-secs out of an arm64 install. The biggest worry is that the kernel 
might not be post dirty pipe enough to be fixed. It was 5.10.28 IIRC but 
its not running ATM as I left it running the armhf version so I could 
save about 5 years worth of its LCNC g-code history to this machine, then 
boot the new version and copy it back. That lathe has learned quite a few 
new dance steps since it left Chicago 80 years ago. Stuff it could not do 
then in its wildest dreams. It came with fixed ratio gears you could 
change from a limited recipe if imperial gears.  Those gears are in one 
of its drawers now since linuxcnc can Mathematicallly do any gear ratio 
you want, metric or imperial. Need for some reason, a 57.3 tpi tapered 
thread? It's just programming a G76 move.The gears are all math, no 
teeth. And little noise. At steel cutting speeds, this machine moves like 
casper the ghost.

Link plz Andy?

I was given the address to get this arm64.img thats a complete desktop 
system with a realtime preept kernel already installed. But its complete 
and ready to rock and roll except for the network. I cannot say that 
about anything debian has offered for the pi's to date, and I dl'd & 
tried them all in the last 6 weeks.



I'd repost the link to it, but finding it in the new kde5 version of 
kmail is quite impossible.

And my friend, whom I'd promised a couple 64G u-sd cards to, about 5 
months back before I lost both 2T seagate drives to the exact same 
failure mode, they simply went off line in the middle of the night about 
2 months apart and became invisible, 2 u-sd cards to boot his rpi4 and 
run his big Cinci milling machine with, needed these cards 3,000 miles 
west of me, last Saturday. With those drive failures I lost 24 years of 
my history, which included how I did it for one of my machines a little 
over 2 years ago. So now I'm trying to duplicate what I first did using 
the raspi version of wheezy on an rpi3b. And I still don't have this 
bullseye system doing more than half what the stretch system was doing on 
pretty much the same hardware.  The main diff is that /home, which was 
about a terrabyte on one of those dead 2T seagates, is now a 1.7T raid10 
on SSD's. The other 2T that died, was my vtapes for amanda. Bingo, no 
backups. And I catch it on this list for getting upset with seacrate for 
putting a tech that wasn't ready for prime time on the market anyway?

That is 200% the problem, its so deeply buried you cannot find it, and 
asking how on a mailing list is like searching for a gold ring in a 
tijuana pan shop.  Sometimes its 3 or 4 days of fine tuning my questions 
before a meaningfull answer comes out of someones fingers.

But that info is NOT plainly stated in those man pages. It may be there, 
but its buried in drivel that does not often offer an example.

Take care and stay well Felix.

On that page there isn't very much before you get to "beyond the basics". With
static IP, that's as far as anyone need read, assuming having managed to 
determine
how to disengage the in place network setup.

I don't know that I understand what you're asking. What is "all that"?
/etc/systemd/network/* takes the place of /etc/network* when taking advantage of
the already in place init system+'s ability to bring up and maintain an 
interface.
Something has to turn on whatever networking system is configured.
systemd-networkd.service is systemd's network setup enabler. "All that" seems to
be no more than /etc/systemd/network/.network with 6-7 lines, plus
enabling systemd-networkd.service.

But I'm serious Felix, when I ask how the heck is an update that changes 
to all that from a single file in /etc/network/interfaces.d, doing away

I can really recommend them. I switched to them from Raspbian about 2
weeks ago, and the image runs really nice on my RasPi 4 B. There is a
slight difference in the temperature which is reported by lm-sensors,
otherwise no problems yet.

I switched because Raspian (Raspberry Pi OS, how it is called now) did
not deliver security fixes for their custom kernel in time. And I prefer
running pure Debian whenever possible.

Christian

But Andy, it should, its the ONLY sensible solution to a problem most 
distributions have when they encounter a home location without a dhcp 
server.  My home network name to address resolution method using a hosts 
file, is at least a hundred milliseconds faster than anything involving a 
dns server. And its concept is also simple, scan the hosts file first, if 
that does NOT find it, forward it to the gateway, and my gateway/router 
forwards it to whereever shentel.net has a dns server. And it Just Works.

Debian, FWIW is just as guilty as anybody else but uses a different path 
to get there, if there is not a dhcp server available, they too use avahi 
to plug in a totally useless, non-existant address in the 169.254 ipv4 
block. And that does NOT get thru a router if one is in use.

It might work if connected directly to the modem, I don't know as I've 
never been without a router once the net arrived at my street. With a 
router, the only reason I run iptables is to specifically block the bots

Gene is not running Debian and is again wasting everyone's time by
asking about it here, despite being repeatedly asked not to. So for
anyone finding this in the archives, Gene's problem is not with
Debian, it is with Raspbian, and his now-remembered solution does
not apply to Debian.

Thanks,
Andy

I'd strongly suggest that you use Gunnar Wolf's images that then give you 
something that is as near as anything vanilla Debian. Raspberry Pi folks are 
really not too interested in sorting out Debian-type problems.

Maybe it does, Felix, and While I'm a diehard debian fan, if you want to 
use a pi to do something, the "fix" is in the pi versions of the OS where 
it belongs, By putting it in the bottom of /etc/dhcpdcp.conf with the 
comment immediately above it stating that its for the case of a dhcp 
failure, fill in the correct data for a static network. And restart 
networking. If you didn't muck it up typing it in, its a one stop fix. 

Copy in your local hosts file, hostname, sudo set your domainname, and 
your resolv.conf And its totally sensible. Its what to do if there is not 
a dhcp server on the local network. But that makes entirely too much 
sense, so nobody else does it. :-{>  There is one other thing about the 
pi's I like. Uptimes are from power failure to power failure, and I have 
a small ups and a 20kw standby in the back yard that delivering power in 
about 5 seconds after the lights go out. If I wasn't putzing with it, 
uptimes would be a couple years. I can't say that for any wintel box 
running debian here. 

Take care Felix, and stay well.

I just recalled that fix, its in the bottom 2 stanza's of /etc/
dhcpcd.conf, where it says if dns fails, use this. fill in the correct 
data. Restart networking. Fixed.

... because you're not. using. Debian.  Unless you customized the
installer.

Also, you misspelled the filename.  The program in question is
named "dhcpcd", which stands for "DHCP Client Daemon".  And it's a
Raspbian thing, usually.

Never mind, I finally remembered that /etc/dhpdcp.conf had the last word 
if dns or other means failed, filled in the last two stanza's with good 
data and restarted the networking. Bingo I can ping yahoo.com.

Onward and hopefully upward.

Check if you have NetworkManager running. If so, prepare to waste a lot
