En revanche :

Ce qui explique que chacun des paquets 'sysvinit', 'systemd' - et 'upstart' -

Et, donc, qu'il faudra choisir un (et un seul) parmi ces trois-là... ;-)

aussi le cas sous Jessie/Testing et sous Sid/Unstable).

une autonomie faible (environ 3h).
Si je regarde la jauge de Gnome en 3 niveaux, elle reste longtemps sur

s'accélère et à la fin je passe de 15% à 5% en quelques minutes.
Est-ce de même pour d'autre possesseurs de T420 ?

Por los síntomas que indicas parece un cuelgue del kernel (que no deja 
registros seguramente porque el demonio rsyslog habrá dejado de 
responder) o un problema de hardware y tratándose de un equipo viejo me 
decantaría más lo segundo, principalmente la memoria o la fuente de 
alimentación.

La única forma de ver los registros del kernel cuando se queda colgado es 
conectando otro equipo (o máquina virtual aunque es complicado) al puerto 
serie para que haga un volcado en otro ordenador. En esta página² de 
Ubuntu indican algunas opciones.

Un momento... ¿estás en Wheezy? Pensaba que estabas en testing por el 
kernel que tenías. Veamos qué dice la wiki para Debian estable:

https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debian_7_.22Wheezy.22_Backports

Hum... los pasos son parecidos, lo único es que el paquete de 
virtualbox está en los backports, así que asegúrate de que tienes 
activado el repo de backports. Sigamos. No, un momento, el paquete que
tienes instalado de virtualbox NO es (o no parece) de los backports 
porque los paquetes que vienen del repo de backports llevan la 
coletilla de BPO y además el paquete de backports para wheezy es la
versión 4.3.12 y la tuya es la 4.3.14. 

Ejem... aquí vas a tener que explicarte, amigo ;-)

 root@debian-Papa:/home/eb8cxw# dpkg -l | grep linux-image

 ii  linux-image-686-pae 3.14+59   i386Linux for modern PCs 
 (meta-package)

Por kernels no va a ser, no... tienes 3: el que viene con wheezy para 
sistemas PAE, el de wheezy para sistemas no PAE y el de backports :-P

Voy a dar por hecho que el kernel habitual que usas es el de backports.

(...)

 Paquetes sugeridos:
 virtualbox-guest-additions-iso vde2
 Los siguientes paquetes se ELIMINARÁN:
 virtualbox-4.3
   ^^

 Eso es malo. Raro, al menos.

 Se instalarán los siguientes paquetes NUEVOS:
 libgsoap5 libvncserver0 virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt
 0 actualizados, 5 se instalarán, 1 para eliminar y 0 no actualizados.
 Necesito descargar 21,8 MB de archivos.
 Se liberarán 74,8 MB después de esta operación.
 ¿Desea continuar? [S/n] n

 No, claro, has hecho bien al detenerlo. Ejecuta aptitude why-not
 virtualbox-4.3 a ver qué te dice.

 root@debian-Papa:/home/eb8cxw# aptitude why-not virtualbox-4.3 
 i   virtualbox-4.3 Entra en conflicto virtualbox 
 i   virtualbox-4.3 Proporcionavirtualbox 

Bueno, a ver... mi bola de cristal me dice que o bien aptitude se ha
vuelto loco o lo que intenta decirte es que tienes un paquete de 
virtualbox instalado desde otro lado (¿Oracle?) y está entrando en 
conflicto con el que quieres instalar de los backports, lo cual es 
normal.

¿Has intentado monitorear la temperatura del disco duro?  (Algunos

Hace algún tiempo me pidieron mirar una máquina que se congelaba de

 Jag är med på Debian-listan och ville försöka komma idag till Kista men hade

Det var jättekul!


 Någon nämnde intresse om att starta svenskt Debian-gemenskap? :)

Japp! Vi pratade om det och märkte att vi är några stycken som har
försökt driva det på varsina håll i några år. (T ex finns ju IRC-kanalerna
#debian.se på både OFTC och freenode och #debian-nordic finns på

Jag har försökt driva en nordisk Debiangemenskap i några år och tror
att de frön jag har planterat har börjat gro nu. Se separat post om

 En gång i tiden var det en myndighets ålder.

Både Linux och Debian har kommit ganska långt på den tiden...

Jag minns min första erfarenhet av Linux. Det var i mitten av 90-talet
(tror det var när man kunde läsa recensioner av betaversionerna av
Windows 95 i diverse tidningar, vilket placerar oss i 1994 eller
början av 1995) och jag tror inte ens att jag lyckades få igång X på
den tiden. Än mindre göra något vettigt i Linux så det blev Microsoft
några år till. (Inte ens Windows 95 ville på första försöken för mig!)
Någon gång under första halvan 2001 tröttnade jag på ständiga
blåskärmar... och när jag skulle installera Linux lyckades jag, efter
några misslyckade installationsförsök, formatera om den hårddisk dit
jag mödosamt kopierat alla mina dokument och annat, för att ha dem
kvar. Självklart var det dessutom den installationen som gick bra...

Då var det Red Hat 6.2. Nu är det Debian 7. På vägen har det varit
både Gentoo, Slackware, SuSE och några andra. Man måste våga prova sig
fram. (Och jag skulle nog inte sätta en ren Debian i händerna på en
total nybörjare; säga vad man vill, men för den kategorin användare är
nog faktiskt Ubuntu bättre out-of-the-box... Det är väl tur att det
finns alternativ!)

Nordisk Debianträff på FSCONS, 31 okt - 2 nov

2014-08-16 Thread Per Andersson
Hej!

Det har börjat tisslas och tasslas om en nordisk Debianträff
på FSCONS senare i höst. På debian-project@l.d.o finns den
ursprungliga skrivelsen till Debianprojektet och
Debianutvecklare i norden. [0]

På Debianwikin finns en sida för saker som händer i norden. [1]
Det finns lite kort information om evenemanget där än så
länge. Med tiden kommer det en egen sida med information
om vad som kommer att hända under träffen. Kortfattat kommer
det att antagligen att ske viss bug squashing, utåtriktat arbete
(ett så kallat bokbord/bås) samt föredrag och workshops om
det kommer förbi några kunniga, intresserade eller nyfikna.

De idéer som jag hittills har drivit eller hört från andra rör
nordiska och/eller svenska Debiangemenskaper, IRC-kanaler
och hemsidor, paketeringsteam för lokalisering och
lokalspecifika paket (t ex översättningsarbete, aspell-sv,
svtplay-dl, fribid etc), DebConf i Sverige.

Svara gärna med idéer redan nu, även för vad som kan göras
på FSCONS.


Vi syns på FSCONS senare i höst!

Min partner och jag har satt Debian och task-xfce-desktop i händerna
på våra totala nybörjarföräldrar (med 20 års datorvana paradoxalt
nog). De älskar det och har mycket lättare att hantera dessa datorer
än tidigare Windows och OSX.

De har installerat själva när vi har suttit jämte dem och guidat dem.
Montering, hantering av dubbla skärmar, network manager för
trådburet och trådlöst nätverk och mycket annat har de lärt sig. De
snappar upp det väldigt fort faktiskt, jag är imponerad. Sen skiljer
det ju sig inte så mycket från andra datormiljöer längre heller.

På foss-sthlm-listan diskuterade vi nyligen barn och datorer. De flesta
som svarade hade låtit sina barn använda Debian, barnen klarade
det ju galant såklart.

Nybörjare klarar Debian utmärkt.

Udda hårdvara kan vara ett problem, inte oöverstigligt men ändå.
I mina ThinkPad X200s tex sitter det ett chip för trådlöst nätverk som
inte supportas av installations-CDn. Märkligt, men så är det iallafall.
Inget stort problem om man har både trådlöst och koppar men jag kan
tänka mig att en nybörjare skulle uppfatta det som lite jobbigt. Själv
suckade jag djupt.

Tänk vad mycket du har lärt dig om OS på den tiden. En komis till mig,
råkade en gång hamna ute i DOS promtern i Windows. Han fick
fullständigt panik! Ändå hade han använt datorer i många år.

 Då var det Red Hat 6.2. Nu är det Debian 7. På vägen har det varit
 både Gentoo, Slackware, SuSE och några andra. Man måste våga prova sig
 fram. (Och jag skulle nog inte sätta en ren Debian i händerna på en

Jo, fast idag är inte Debian så jättesvår, som den var för bara några
år sedan. Det mesta kan göras i GUI idag.

Jag kan hålla med om att Ubuntu kanske är ett bra första val. Fast ser
man till ren stabilitet, så skulle jag nog hellre välja en annan dist.
Har själv använt *buntu en gång i tiden. Men när sen versionerna bara
blev mer och mer buggiga. Så slutade jag använda *buntu.

Själv började jag mina allra första stapplande Linux steg med Debian
1.3. Som jag minns det, låg den ihop med 3 andra distar i en box. Har
för mig att det var RedHat, Slackware och Mandrake. Men kan minnas fel
där.

Önskade att jag hade haft skivorna kvar. För idag tror jag inte det
går att skaffa installations CD skivor med Debian 1.3.

SuSE (som jag har för mig dom skrev det då), körde jag oxå ett tag. Då
när den hade versionsnummer 5.3. Jag gillade den skarpt. Det enda som
var problemet, var att man var tvungen att kunna mycket tyska. För det
var bara 50 % som var översatt av programmen.

Sen köpte jag 6.0, men där fungerade inte installationsprogrammet som
den skulle. T.ex så installerade den en Linuxkärna för SCSI, när man
hade vanliga PATA hårddiskar. Det var bara en av problemen med v6.0.
Så den blev stående på hyllan. Tror jag fortfarande har kvar den i
någon låda på vinden.

So, you have custom shell for nobody, which can be the source of your

User 65534 is causing a frustrating 90 - 120 second delay during

Some process that happens to be running as nobody is failing to exit
when instructed to do so.  Systemd is waiting patiently for 90 seconds
before sending it a kill -9.  You need to either find that process and
fix it or change that timeout to a smaller value.

Re: Render lag/delay on Testing

Jonas Lippuner wrote:

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi Debian users,

Ever since the xserver on Debian Testing was upgraded to 1.16 (and
after the issue with the lacking Nvidia driver was fixed), I've been
having rendering issues.

Sometimes (it randomly comes and goes), some windows or content of
windows experience a big delay (seconds) with being redrawn or updated
with new information. Often the window would just sit there unchanged
until I move the mouse a bit or resize the window to force it to
redraw. Other times, the effect of a keyboard command, say A, is not
shown until the next keyboard command, say B, but then the effect of A
is shown while the effect of B only becomes visible after yet another
command.

Here is a concrete example:

I open www.google.com in Iceweasel. I press F6 to highlight the text
in the address bar, but nothing appears to happen. If I now start
typing, I will actually type in the address bar, but the window did
not redraw to show that the address bar is highlighted. So the command
was correctly registered, but the window was not redrawn to show this.
If instead of typing something I press F6 again, then the focus moves
to the Google search box in the background (and if I now started
typing, I would type in the search box), but the window is now redrawn
showing the address bar highlighted, so the window is updated with the
previous state that is now no longer valid.

This is extremely annoying and I have not been able to determine
why/how this is happening or how to fix it. I was also not successful
at finding any info online about other people experiencing the same issue.

I have the xserver 1.16, the proprietary nvidia-driver 340.24 package,
xfce4 (4.10.1) and lightdm (1.10.1). I don't even know in which of
these packages the bug is...

Is anybody else experience such rendering problems or does anybody
have any idea what might be going on?




Well, I run Sid but the same xserver and nvidia-driver 340.24 from 
upstream and I notice none of those problems so I doubt it is those 2.

I took the version which was present at that time in Jessie/Sid. This

The version currently present in Jessie/Sid requires a newer libc6 than

I thought the purpose of a wm/de was to let the user run, arrange, view

Neither, I hope, do the rest of them.

make apt-get install $PKG work like gentoo?

2014-08-16 Thread Zenaan Harkness
I've never used gentoo sorry.

I'm wondering if apt-get install could be set up to compile from
source and install that (sort of automatically), rather than install
the binary?

Due to admining a number of machines for a small non profit human
rights association (and a few personal boxen for myself and others),
and problems sometimes with internet connectivity, I use debmirror to
maintain a local debian package mirror, and I add in source packages
too.

There are the buildd, and perhaps more apropos debomatic, and I'm
wondering if anyone has used these to do something like gentoo for
their debian install, or if that's a bit beyond reasonable?

Where (as in my case) there are at least three different machine
types, if I wanted to minimize build times, I would need to create
locally compiled package pools for each machine type.

In which case why not use the binary packages? Well, why use gentoo?
I'm guessing optimizing package builds for your specific machine
type(s).

And something that seems even more appealing to me is an apt-get
source resulting in a git repo, and then upgrade for that package
becomes just git pull; recompile, rebuild debian package; install -
the git pull for a Linux kernel upgrade for example, is much smaller
than downloading source and binary packages, and provides a full
source archive - having been a programmer, this seems quite appealing.

Why not use gentoo? Well, I like debian. In fact, I have used Debian
for so many years, the particular configurations and directory etc
choices are well ingrained for me.

I just want more.

I'm imagining the debian developers feeding their debianizations to
their packages, to us users, via git (or their vcs of choice say hg or
whatever), rather than via the package distribution system per se,
even if local installations go through a locally built binary package.

TIA
Zenaan

I'm fully in agreement, and am also a KDE adherent.

However, I think Gnome spit is the most popular DE, which is probably
why the installer selects it by default. Which, in turn makes it the
most popular sigh.

Anyway, I think the installer should offer *all* the DEs.

Not quite true. On graphics hardware which doesn't provide 3D

apt-get, to my best knowledge, can not be used for this.
There's tool called apt-build, which can do most of the things you
describe.


 And something that seems even more appealing to me is an apt-get
 source resulting in a git repo, and then upgrade for that package
 becomes just git pull; recompile, rebuild debian package; install -
 the git pull for a Linux kernel upgrade for example, is much smaller

You need to take build-dependencies into the account, as you can not
rebuild the source without them.
I'll be more like 'apt-get update  apt-get upgrade' for build-depends
and only then git pull; recompile, rebuild debian package; install.

And even for the Debian stable build-depends' updates come annoyingly
frequently these days :)


I tried to use apt-build, and it kinda worked, but it wasn't pretty
sight. Build-dependencies ate huge amounts of disk space, build times
were painfully large (compiling stock Wheezy kernel on QNAP takes about
1.5 days, for example).

So I said to myself 'screw it', took Core i7 desktop, made a couple of
chroots on it and is building everything there since then. Maintaining
a local repository with pre-built binary packages is much less hassle
IMO.

 Not quite true. On graphics hardware which doesn't provide 3D
 acceleration, gnome-shell falls back to use llvmpipe, which provides
 software-rendering on most hardware.

Apparently, this is a new development.  I used GNOME when it was the
default at GNOME 2.  Then, when GNOME 3 first came out, it required
3D acceleration, but had a fallback mode for hardware that didn't
support it.  I continued to use GNOME 3 in fallback mode.  Then,
at some point, they eliminated fallback mode; and my desktop became
totally unusable.  At that point, I switched from GNOME to XFCE;
and I haven't tried GNOME again since, even when using hardware
that supports 3D acceleration.

*Requiring* 3D for a DE, whether from the hardware or via software
emulation, is a bad idea, IMO.

 Neither, I hope, do the rest of them.
 
 I regularly use Xfce, LXDE, Openbox, and even dwm, and sure hope none
 of them are doing 3d stuff I have no use for.
 
 I'd want 3d if I were operating a sculpting program or a 3d printer.
 Operating a desktop environment, not so much.
 

It's not so much 3D as in applications, as in rendering the user
interface, so that various tile effects were easier. I had a whinge
about this at the time of the switch in sid, not so much about the
requirement, as about the fact that after giving me this message:

Unfortunately Gnome3 failed to start properly and started in fall back
mode. This most likely means your system (graphics hardware or driver)
is not capable of delivering the full Gnome 3 experience.

 it dropped me into a brand-new, empty Gnome Fallback interface, with
no sign of my various custom panels and menus. There was no prior
warning of this behaviour. The use of the word 'experience' didn't
help, nor the rather patronising statement on the Gnome site about why
they weren't going to support 'legacy' hardware.

In fact, it turned out later that my video hardware and driver did have
acceleration, it just wasn't turned on by default, and I had to poke
around with the nearly-extinct xorg.conf to enable it. I even had a
play with Gnome 3 (gnome-shell, to be accurate) but it seemed to need
so many extra clicks/keystrokes to switch windows and do other common
tasks that I gave up after a few days, and set off down the LXDE/Xfce
path.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/FAQ

This is somewhat less patronising, but still uses phrases such as We
want to take responsibility for your experience and GNOME Shell is
designed to fit your lifestyle which suggests that they've been
reading too many Microsoft press releases.

The task draw this set of possibly-overlapping rectangles full of

of one big background rectangle looks an awful lot like the task draw 
this set of textured rectangles at different z-depths in an orthographic

Modern graphics cards are *very good* at drawing textured rectangles at 
different z-depths in an orthographic viewport (in fact, they're better 
at it than the CPU is at drawing possibly-overlapping rectangles full of 
pixels, some of which may be partially or wholly transparent, in front

OK, I lied. I was bored...

A little further on... journald *has* been keeping persistent journals,
but with different user permissions, now root:systemd-journal 640.

journalctl still shows entries up to August 3rd, but journalctl --user
shows all entries to date. If I change the permissions of the files
back to 755, this behaviour stays the same, except that I no longer
need to be a group member of systemd-journal, as expected. Something
changed on August 3rd, and I think it was the switch to systemd at pid
1. The cloned system had systemd at pid 1 from the beginning, or at
least as soon as systemd was installed. That system shows all entries
with just journalctl, it doesn't need --user.

I've persuaded journalctl to show me the logs for user 65534
(journalctl -u user-65534.slice as root) and they give little away.
Beyond doubt, this is the 90-second culprit, but it still isn't clear

src/core/execute.c [1] indicates that this might be due to failing to

As the home directory for user nobody is set to /nonexistent (which

It doesn't explain though, why you have processes under user nobody or

That's also what I thought? But I assume this thread is pertaining to

Re: New 64-bit Install: Wine

  What wine packages do you have installed?

 wine
 wine64
 wine32:i386

Tried that. I do not know about the firefox setup but no .exe's I had  
around

would take. I also go rid of the ~/.wine. Wine-cfg also barked.

Just to be sure you have a clean environment, you might want to try  
creating a new user and try it as that user.  Otherwise, I don't know  
what the problem is.


I'm running an up to date Jessie, by the way.


I doesn't know if your problem is already solved, or if you are still
struggling. If you still have a problem, please tell us which version
of Debian and wine you use. Because when you install both architectures
(wine64-development:amd64 and wine32-development:i368) on a 64-bit
Debian sid version. Wine will always run a 32 bit prefix. I had to change
the wine-development script in /usr/bin/ to run a 64-bit Windows

 Stop in stop job isn't an adjective, it's a noun (or an

I wasn't aware of the existence of the term 'attributive noun' until
you used it. It wasn't taught in my H.S. English class in 1949. At

descriptions of what it means that boil down to 'a noun that can be
used as an adjective,' or 'a noun that is being used as an adjective.'
I haven't yet understood why the distinction between 'attributive noun'
and 'adjective' is important. Is it yet another independent part of
speech? Distinct from both 'noun' and 'adjective'? But honestly, I

  In de post install staat bij 'configure'
 
  unset DISPLAY # No GUI launched from postinst please
  dropbox update || true
 
  echo Please restart all running instances of Nautilus, or you 
  will expe rience problems. i.e. nautilus --quit
 
  Waar vind je die post install ?
  
  Onderaan vorige e-mail in deze thread.

Inmiddels https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-dutch/2014/08/msg1.html

 Je hebt helemaal gelijk, maar ik bedoelde in het filesysteem.
 
  Daarin staat een debian package een ar bestand is,
  en dat je m.b.v.  `ar x` een extract kunt doen.
 
 Ah, je hebt het uitgepakt. Ik dacht dat je het geïnstalleerd had, en dat
 de post install dan ook ergens te vinden was. Daar was ik wel
 nieuwsgierig naar.

In de directory /var/lib/dpkg/info en dan ${PACKAGE_NAME}.postinst.
