Firefox Has Disabled FVD Speed Dial

[Stephen P. Molnar]

Upgrading Firefox has managed to Disable FVD Speed Dial, as far as I 
know, without warning


Thia leaves me in a position of loosing several hundred web pages that I 
have painfully collected over many years.


Are there any solutions to this problem?

Probably the same as with 'halt -p' because 'halt', 'poweroff' and
'reboot' are symlinks to the same program and according to the man page
the -p option means "Power-off the machine, regardless of which one of
the three commands is invoked".

this tech should have applicability in network security, to bring it

Machine won't power off after upgrade to bullseye.

[Tim Woodall]

I have an old machine that I've just upgraded to bullseye. Now that it's
upgraded it does not power off when I do halt -p.

I see the following error: (copied so hopefully no typos)

Will now halt.
[  183.942475] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol 
[\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.TPM.PTS], AE_NOT_FOUND (20200925/psargs-330)

(AE_NOT_FOUND) (20200925/psparse-529)
[  183.943586] reboot: Power down

I found this old bug:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199117

While this may well be a bios bug, I've never had this problem before.
Now I've got it on two different (older machines)

I'll try downgrading the kernel back to 4.19 but has anyone else seen
anything like this?

Tim.

It sounds like when you installed 12, your encrypted partition for 11
was still locked, and so the os-prober couldn't find it. When in 12,
you need to unlock 11 and then update grub so it can include 11 in its menu.

I've no experience with doing that. I've always set up grub-install
to point to the device that contains /boot belonging to the system
I want to boot up by default, and then used update-grub to make that
/boot/grub/grub.cfg aware of all the systems on the machine (but
they all need to be visible so that they get entries added). This
latter grub.cfg will boot this same system by default.

Cheers,
David.

I just installed Debian 12 without encryption in a small partition.

It looks like you can set it here:

$ grep 1min /etc/systemd/system.conf 
#DefaultTimerAccuracySec=1min
$ man systemd-system.conf | grep -A7 DefaultTimerAccuracySec 
   DefaultTimerAccuracySec=
   Sets the default accuracy of timer units. This controls the global 
default
   for the AccuracySec= setting of timer units, see systemd.timer(5) for
   details.  AccuracySec= set in individual units override the global 
default
   for the specific unit. Defaults to 1min. Note that the accuracy of 
timer
   units is also affected by the configured timer slack for PID 1, see
   TimerSlackNSec= above.

I can't argue with your teriary reason. The other two shouldn't matter
because (1) the script can check for which user it is, in $USER, and
(2) then runuser as that user.

Broken UEFI Dual boot : Debian 12 + encrypted Debian 11

[Yvan Masson]

Hi list,

I have a laptop with two drive, historically installed with an encrypted 
Debian 11 booting in UEFI mode (done with Debian Installer).


I just installed Debian 12 without encryption in a small partition. 
Unfortunately, I can not boot Debian 11 anymore, grub-efi only shows the 
Debian 12 install.


Any help to make both install boot would greatly appreciated. Being able 
to boot Debian 11 only would also be great if the dual boot is not possible.


Below is a reworked `lsblk` output:

sda
|-sda1 -> a data partition
|-sda2 -> D12 /
`-sda3 -> D12 swap
sdb
|-sdb1 -> EFI partition
|-sdb2 -> D11 /boot

what to do with USB stick that gives badblocks errors

[deloptes]

I'm sure there are many ideas around, but I want to hear your opinion

so there is one USB stick that I noticed started mocking about errors when
booting off.
I ran badblocks (without options) and then with -s -n and this produced a
slightly different output.
Is the output resulting from the options or is something really wrong with
the USB

Should I throw it away?

If no should I try reformat it

thanks & regards

This basically confirms my guesswork: the "User Manager" isn't stopped
immediately when the last login session is closed.  There's some delay.
Maybe it's the next time the clock reads *:00 or maybe it's 10 seconds.

It seems to do what's desired.  That's the important takeaway.

You don't, but your system(d) does: the system instance, not the user
instance.

From my "journalctl --follow" output, after a "su -" and then
immediately after closing the resulting shell:

Nov 23 12:03:27 coil su[1330250]: pam_unix(su-l:session): session

PHP fast-cgi en mod_php

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hoi,

Ik moet een server met php en Apache overzetten naar een nieuwe
virtuele machine. Maar ik heb vooral ervaring met mod_php.

Ik overweeg de klant te vragen of het geen mod_php mag worden. Klant is
een bedrijfje met PHP programmeurs. Zal het voor hen veel uitmaken?
Moet er bijvoorbeeld code worden gewijzigd?

Of is het voor mij eigenlijk reuze simpel om fcgi te gaan gebruiken?
Wellicht gewoon libapache2-mod-fcgid installeren?
Zijn er dingen waaraan je moet denken bij fcgi ?

Het gaat om een VM met maar 1 website, geen hoge belasting.

Groet,
Paul

psutils: any known opensource prepress viewers for its output?

[Tom Browder]

'psutils' provides a way to generate a prepress layout for multipage
printing, cutting, and binding of booklets and books.

Can anyone recommend a program running on Linux (or other OS) to view it
(or its PDF form) in its prepress layout?

Thanks.

Bonjour,

Si on veut vraiment rentrer dans le détail, ça ne fonctionne pas
correctement. Pourquoi ?

Je suis d'accord, c'est un montage que l'on trouve malheureusement
partout. Il fonctionne avec des composants idéaux et des tensions
d'entrée fixes.

Le courant de base de Q1 varie en fonction du courant d'émetteur (le
beta de ces transistors est moyen et on est souvent dans les 10 à 15).
Lorsque la charge varie, le courant va donc varier sensiblement dans D1
et il y aura une fluctuation de la tension de sortie loin d'être
négligeable surtout pour les faibles valeurs de Vz.

Ça fonctionne à peu près si la charge est fixe. Si derrière cela se
trouve un régulateur à découpage un peu inductif, ça peut même le
détruire.

Si on veut faire proprement, on polarise la Zener à courant constant
(donc en aval et non en amont) et, surtout, on utilise un feedback pour
éviter les oscillations parasites en provenance de la charge. On peut
arriver à ceci :

http://loubardes.de-charybde-en-scylla.fr/media/blogs/loubardes/filament
_1500ma_r2.png

Q2 est un driver de base pour limiter la variation de courant dans Q3.
Q4/Q6/D6 se comporte comme si une Zener était à la place de Q4,
mais la tension d'émetteur de Q4 reste stable quel que soit le courant
traversant (la Zener est côté aval, donc polarisée par une tension
régulée, Q6 est là pour que le courant de base de Q6 ne varie
quasiment pas en fonction de la tension d'entrée du montage.). Q3
règle la tension de sortie, Q5/R6 coupe la régulation en cas de
dépassement du courant max de consigne. R2 et R11 ne sont pas là pour
faire joli mais pour équilibrer les courants dans Q1 et Q7. Les
courants dans tous les transistors (sauf Q1 et Q7) étant faibles, il
n'y a pas besoin de compenser en température sauf à vouloir avoir
quelque chose de très précis.

Bien cordialement,

JKB

Bonjour,

lorsque je m'hébergeais à la maison certains destinataires refusaient
catégoriquement tout message provenant d'une IP assignée au domicile
d'un particulier.

La seule solution que j'avais trouvé était de configurer Postfix pour
qu'il passe par le serveur SMTP de mon fournisseur d'accès, pour ces
destinataires uniquement.

Dans `main.cf`, j'ai ajouté:

 transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

Et dans ce fichier des lignes comme:

 gmx.de smtp:[mail.asahi-net.or.jp]

De mémoire, il faut lancer une commande grenre `postmap` pour que la
configuration ou ses changements soient pris en compte.

Plus de détails dans la page de manuel transport(5).

Bonne chance !
