HP zBook keyboard issue

2021-06-13 Thread Tom Dial
One more try:

I have a Hewlett Packard zBook G5 with two misbehaving keys: The
unshifted f3 and f4 keys are intended (marked) to decrease and increase
screen backlight brightness. However, both operate identically with the
unshifted f8 key that (correctly) toggles the built-in microphone on or off.

The error appears at the scancode level:
showkey -k reports keycode 190 press and release for all three keys; and
showkey -s reports scancode 0x5a 0xda for all three keys; and to
restate, all three keys do, in fact, toggle the internal microphone.

The installation is vanilla Debian Bullseye except that:

a. It is installed on ZFS (including /)
b. It uses the nVidia proprietary driver and xorg (Nouveau was very
sluggish)
c. It is dual boot, with Windows and Debian on separate NVMe device.
Grub is installed on the Debian device and boots either Linux
and Windows on request.
d. Several non-Debian programs (Eclipse, Foxit PDF reader, Ghidra,
Google Chrome, and Zoom) are installed on /opt and almost certainly
irrelevant to the issue.

An oddity is that after a Debian update a few weeks ago, the two keys at
issue worked as I would like for a few days, then reverted after I
booted Windows and applied the monthly patch set. I do not quite know
what to make of that.

Suggestions for fixing this defect or how to approach resolving it, will
be gratefully received. The zBook is a very nice machine and has only
this defect and the apparently insoluble lack of support for the
proprietary fingerprint reader remaining.

Regards,

Tom Dial

At least now I understood the problem.

After dbootstrap you should chroot and execute grub-install and update-grub
or vice versa. Of course it could be necessary to update some
configurations.

I attach here my installation notes I applied to USB-Stick. It should apply
to your use case as well (I hope)

Ah and if you find some pieces to improve, let me know.

This is a step by step how to to install debian on a USB stick and make this 
stick bootable.
The stick in the example is found under /dev/sdb. Change to fit your setup.

1. Partition the disk. If you want you can use also crypto_LUKS and LVM

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 28.9 GiB, 31051513856 bytes, 60647488 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x93e4092b

Device Boot   Start  End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1  *   2048  1050623  1048576  512M 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2   1050624 46679687 45629064 21.8G 83 Linux


   The example here will use plain ext4 on two partitions
/dev/sdb1   /boot
/dev/sdb2   /

1.a. USB Formatting with GPT

Model: Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 60647488s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start  EndSize   File system Name  Flags
1  2048s  1001471s   999424sfat32   EFI   boot, esp
2  1001472s   2050047s   1048576s   ext4
3  2050048s   10438655s  8388608s   linux-swap(v1)
4  10438656s  60647454s  50208799s  ext4


Use following setup

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/target/boot/efi
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/target/boot/
/dev/sdb4 /mnt/target/

mount the partitions and chroot (see below)
then install grub (5.2) and do update-grub
this should be done from efi booted system


2. Format the partitions

# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb2

3. mount the partitions

# mkdir /mnt/target
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/target
# mkdir /mnt/target/boot
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/target/boot
# mount
/dev/sdb2 on /mnt/target type ext4 (rw,relatime)
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/target/boot type ext4 (rw,relatime)

4. Debootstrap Buster to /mnt/target
https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap

The log can be monitored after starting debootstrap
tail -1000f  /mnt/target/debootstrap/debootstrap.log

Regarding the asterisks, I used them in many text to make emphasis,

You don't. How the text is rendered depends entirely on the mail client
the person is using, and potentially on the configuration of that client.

Some clients - including the one I'm using, and apparently also the one
you're using - will interpret *asterisks* as meaning that the enclosed
text should be rendered as boldface; mine also interprets /slashes/ as
indicating that the enclosed text should be rendered in italics, and may
also interpret _underscores_ as meaning that the enclosed text should be
rendered with an underline.

(In principle the same thing could also be extended to -hyphens- meaning
the enclosed text should be rendered as strikethrough, but I don't think
I've seen that in practice.)

Other clients will interpret the asterisks, etc., literally, and will
not apply any special formatting because of them. You can't affect that.


So, in brief: if you want to convey emphasis, feel free to use
*asterisks* or /slashes/ or _underscores_. Some clients will apply
formatting as a result of seeing that; others won't, but the people
reading the text may still interpret the annotations as indicating
emphasis anyway.

I got started using *asterisks* well before I was using a client that
would apply special formatting for them, so I naturally interpret them
as indicating emphasis, even with no special formatting in place; I
expect there are probably many other people out there with the same
conditioning.

I'll write back another message then.

And add that :
I don't need help to get my disk partitioned.

That I need help with the configuration of my boot disk.

After doing my chroot post debootstrap, I run grub-install.
How do I make the setup properly.

So I'll add all those information and do it again.

On this point, maybe I wasn't enough specific on what I asked.

 Dear Polyna-Maude,

 I'm very sorry if I have made you feel bad.

 I have not used dedicated servers for years so excuse me for not being
 familiar with OVH or whatever company you use for VPS or dedicated
 servers. My point is that there should be something like configurator
 (wizard, template or whatever) what has to help you to do initial
 configuration of OS - partitions, RAID level, network configuration and
 minimal OS installation, and - yes - if that is not Debian installer
 then yes - you can ask technical support to provide information for the
 tool they use.

 Kind regards
 Georgi

Hi !
Tell me where it's not clear :

--- Start of original message ---
Hi !
I'm renting a server with one-provider (OVH).

I have a choice of OS and it does a great job running Debian Buster.
But...

The "standard" installation give me one partition in RAID mirror ( 3 x 2
To). So I get only a big root partition and nothing else

I don't have access to my server with a KVM, so all has to be done thru
the network using a recovery (rescue) option. That is, I was able to
reboot in rescue mode, use debootstrap to populate a new system.

Where it did fail was for the reboot.

The machine doesn't seem to use EFI (like most server) and I only see
the following partition using the automatic installer.

root@polynamaude:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors

/dev/sda4  3907025072 3907029134   4063 2M Linux filesystem

So I can see it's a gpt table
But I get a bit lost when it's time to use grub to setup my machine by
remote.

Someone has a clue ?

Yes it's not a huge power horse but I plan to make it usable as a mirror
for the community (Debian) so help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

firefox scrollbar slider

2021-06-13 Thread Richmond
I have created

.mozilla/firefox//chrome/userContent.css
.mozilla/firefox//chrome/userChrome.css
.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css  /* I think this is the one which made a difference */

and in all of them put:

scrollbar slider {
/* Size of the slider */
min-width: 32px;
min-height: 15px;
border-radius: 17px;

/* Padding around the slider */
border: 2px solid transparent;
}

And set

toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets true

This creates a very large scroll bar on the Profile Manager, but when
the browser starts the usual narrow scroll bar is used. How do I get
wide scroll bars in the browser?

I am using the system theme in firefox.

Acentos ñ en xfce

2021-06-13 Thread Ricardo Delgado
Buenos dias, lista.

Tengo inconvenientes con mi interfaz, cuando recibo un archivo con acentos y ñ 
siempre me da un error.

no encuentro la forma de solucionar el inconveniente, si bien mi teclado no 
tiene la distribucion español, solucione con teclas especiales.

En la web solo encuentro referencias a ISO utf 8 locales, etc, siempre desde 
consola, o como configurar el teclado.

en mi sistema tengo 

LANG=es_AR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


Pero, como indico mi problema no es de LOCALES, o archivos ZIP que vienen con 
acentos, sino por ej. cuando recibo un archivo por correo, o cuando sincronizo 
una unidad en la nube donde coloque archivos como los indicados, al tener un 
listado grande de archivos se me complica ir cambiando uno por uno los mismos.

Uso: XFCE, THUNAR, DEBIAN ESTABLE

Espero haberme explicado.

Gracias

I don't (except my laptop, but that does not seem to fit your use
case), but I would like to suggest asking on the mailing list of a
desktop environment or e.g. Xorg or Wayland. In the end, those need to
support a touchscreen monitor, not Debian per se.

In general I think touchscreen support is fairly good, because the
kernel supports a wide variety of touchscreen monitors and maps
touches to mouse clicks. I'm not 100% sure this is a good place to
check, but the source on GitHub [1] seems to give a pretty good
overview of supported hardware.

Hope that helps, good luck with your use case,

If I'm parsing your rephrasing of the problem statement correctly,
couldn't this be addressed by having the script spawn an xterm or
similar and run the needed command(s) - perhaps in the form of another
script - within that?

I have a script which launches an xterm, echos a prompt, and then runs a
command which takes input and uses that input to launch another script.
It's been working fine for more than a year.

In my case the problem could probably be addressed more elegantly by
having my script invoke something like gksudo, since the command which
takes input in my case is 'su - -c "programname and arguments"', but the
design approach seems like it would generalize well to cases which
invoke other commands instead.

Hi Polyna-Maude,

I didn't understand what you problems were. Using GPT partition table
with BIOS (not UEFI) is just fine therefore you have "BIOS boot"
partition for the second stage of Grub. If you have problems with
partitioning or other part of initial Debian installation I recommend to
ask OVH's support. In the past they had wizard where you can configure
partitions. ... and don't forget to configure IPv6, according to
statistics provided by Google, 1/3 of their users use IPv6.

Kind regards
Georgi

So, let me see if I understand you.  You rambled so much that it's
really not clear what you're asking.  But if I'm reading this
sentence right, you have a shell script that requires a terminal
to work, because you prompt the user for input and then read input
from the terminal.

And now you would like to run this script as a child of xautolock,
which I'm guessing is a pure X11 client program, and does not run
inside a terminal.

Well, that's just a non-starter.  Throw the shell script away, and
write a new program that doesn't require a terminal to do its work.
This could be achieved in shell by using some tool that interacts
with the user without a terminal -- say, zenity or something.  Or, you
could abandon the shell entrely, and write a Tcl/Tk application instead.

I could invoke this line and have my objective fulfilled:
xautolock -time 1 -locker "xset dpms force off"

But I need to run the script file with xautolock.

Best wishes.

Is invoking the -locker option of xautolock to run a script known? Could I be helped with an xautolock code line please?

Namaste, my illustrious Team Leaders and Senior programming wizards,

Hope that the 2nd wave of Covid has not been able to dampen our
enthusiasm, and that all are safe from the virus and well. But the
loss of life and employment of many of my fellow countrymen saddens me
a great deal.

I have one minor other issue because of Covid Lockdown that is
inadvertently delayed (unrelated to this post):  getting my HCL Me
laptop serviced to clean the accumulated dust that blocks the fan and
switches off the laptop within a short time.
But this minor issue can wait as many lives could be saved by lockdown
and social distancing.

As I have said earlier too, my non-Unix non-Console background and
poor coding abilities restrict me from reading the man page.

Could I be helped with this requirement please?

My post rests for two months at the Debian Forums without any input,
here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=8=149128#p736179

As said earlier too, the modified code works beautifully:
--
#!/bin/bash
echo "Usage: run the script ./ssvr.sh"
i=0
while true
do
expr $(( i = i + 1 ))
read -p "To stop press n and Enter : " -t 2 INPOOT
xset dpms force off
# kill -STOP $(pidof $1)
 sleep 2
# xset dpms force off
# kill -CONT $(pidof $1)
# sleep 2
if [ "$INPOOT" = "n" ]; then
echo "Ending..."
echo i
exit 0
fi
done
--

Hashed up the kill -STOP and -CONT parts are unnecessarily getting me
logged out of my system.

Now with the hashed up lines, the script works even better.

Best,

Rajib Bandopadhyay
Etc.

Archiver mails

2021-06-13 Thread steve

Salut,

J'ai longtemps utilisé archivemail pour cette tâche, mais le paquet a
été retiré de Debian. Je ne trouve pas d'alternative pour mon use case.

Mes mails sont au format maildir et je souhaite pouvoir créer une tâche
cron qui s'occupe de ça automatiquement.

Qu'utilisez-vous ?

Merci et bon dimanche !

Steve

Removing usbguard is maybe a drastic decision, isn't?
Or maybe you don't want this package anymore for other reasons?

Otherwise, you could just add a rule authorizing your device to connect:

sudo usbguard append-rule 'allow id : serial "" name "" hash 
"" parent-hash "" with-interface XX:XX:XX'

sudo usbguard list-devices
will tell you the correct parameters (of course usbguard must be running and 
your device connected/blocked).
