As shown in the above output the service has failed to start.

We do not have enough informations to say if it is working or being used.

Given that this is FW related, it might not hurt to ensure that incoming

AliExpress is reputable? That's news to me. I ordered something from it 20

something a month later that turned out to be used rather than new, and just as
broken as the original part I was trying to replace. My credit card company
eventually issued a refund after I explained all that happened. That particular
card I rarely used, and hadn't for a number of months before that online 
purchase
or for several months after. 3 months or so after the refund, there were 4 cash
advances issued on it totaling around $8,000 on the other side of an ocean I had
never crossed. Those got reversed, but my credit rating dropped 100 points and
hasn't come near recovering.

I share information only about my own experiences with AliExpress.
It might be very hard to find a good and reliable store there, but at 
least their official support and "dispute-system" are working fine.
The important part is that you have to keep all transactions, 
communications, chats within AliExpress platform.
Never agree to switch to email or any other resource for conversations 
with sellers. It's just asking to be scammed and AliExpress official 
customer service will be unable to help you.
I had to open disputes a few times and usually AliExpress officials 
step-in and resolve the dispute in customer's favor, unless the dispute 
is unreasonable and there is no evidence.
The whole shopping experience there could be daunting, there is simply 
too much stores and wares to choose from and their site is not helping, 
by being difficult and slow.
IMO it is too much of a risk to buy anything expensive there, given that 
postal service might smash the package during delivery, but ordering 
something like electronic components, hand tools, repair equipment, 
spare parts, etc, should be fine.
I had to order spare LCD screens and fragile repair equipment from 
reputable shops a few times. All delivered without damages.
Sometimes shops send items with a wrong part number, I had to start 
disputes explaining the problems and return items back. All returns were 
refunded back to my debit card.
I've never encountered any problems with payments or refunds, and their 
Escrow-account protection ensures that money will be released to the 
seller only after customer has received what they ordered.
I've heard there is a frequent "carder" and "skimmer" problem in the 
United States [1], so those issued card advances you had might be 
nothing to do with AliExpress, if you paid using their platform.
Anyway, I've used many cards throughout the years to pay for goods on 
AliExpress and never encountered any suspicious activities.
I also extra careful when I have to reveal my card information online 
and when I use ATMs.

 If I understand what you seem to not understand about my work around
to get a time difference in seconds out of my "cobblesome" date
formatting for file names, this is my time zone (remember I am using a
Debian Live DVD, on "exposed mode" ;-))

$ date +%z
+

$ cat  /etc/localtime
TZif2UTCTZif2UTC
UTC0

 At the end of the day, all I need is a time difference in seconds
(and yes, milliseconds would be better), which would be the same
regardless of your time zone.

 I do see the good in what you are suggesting to me and I will have to
include time zones in the file names as well and deal with the
possible cases (someone working at Charles de Gaulle Airport in
Paris/France boards a plane to Boston Logan/MA/USA ...). But the
actual question I will have to deal with is how to check and possibly
reset the time zone and the time via a network in a reliable way once
a ToG booted computer gains access to the Internet for which I will
have to use systemd-timesyncd when it boots and shuts down/ when it
changes modes.

 Am I clearer now?

 Thank you,

Nitpick and reminder: in UNIX and cousins, the "machine" has no
timezone. It's the executable (and its children, if they don't
change it). See:

  tomas@trotzki:~$ date
  Wed Dec 20 08:24:32 CET 2023
  tomas@trotzki:~$ TZ=Asia/Singapore bash
  tomas@trotzki:~$ date
  Wed Dec 20 15:24:47 +08 2023
  tomas@trotzki:~$ exit

What is /etc/timezone for, then? you may ask.

It's just the default for when you don't pick any.

As to gmail... I rather not think about that (still aching from
my cognitive dissonance to see someone so much trying to protect
himself from intrusion to entrust his communication to the biggest
vacuum cleaner for personal data and human behaviour of known
history, but I disgress).

It's a tool for building firewall rules based on typical traffic.  But
as far as I can tell it's only to run with manual monitoring and
configuration, so if you don't know why it's there there's no point
running it or having it installed.

> I don't have a firewall, it's a simple personal PC,

Networked Linux is typically shipped with the ability to understand
and enforce firewall rules - that means you have firewall features -
but if you're behind a port-blocking home router it's probably not
worth setting those rules up.  This is most likely the setup you have,
but you can check with 

ip addr

Your ethernet or wifi probably has a 192.168.x.x local-only address,
which means you only get incoming traffic through NAT, which means you
also have a firewall.  If you're connected directly to the public
Internet (shockingly rare in these days) you wouldn't.

When you get upgraded to IPv6 you'll get a real global address with no
NAT (no NAT for native 6-to-6 traffic) but typically home routers
still give you a strict firewall.

how to clone apt repository to newest only?

how to clone apt repository to newest only?
Fedora/Red Hat will organize the repository by copying only the most recent

Re: Bookworm: Analog audio disappeared

[glasswings]

Oof, I would be frustrated.

It doesn't sound like a Pipewire problem.  It's more likely related to
a firmware upgrade, and I wouldn't try to troubleshoot Pipewire (etc.)
until I could see the audio hardware in amixer or alsamixer.  Also the
CPU microcode seems less likely than the motherboard firmware.

DG2 sounds like an Intel GPU and HDMI, so it's also something I would
ignore for now.  Almost certainly it's the Intel 7a50.  My next steps
would be

* reboot into the firmware menu and poke around, just in case there's
  a new option
* review the dmesg log after a fresh boot, see what in there is
  audio-related.

The big question in my mind is whether the correct Alsa module is
being detected and loaded, or perhaps some idea of whether it's
failing.

On top of that some Googling suggests "sof-firmware".  But it sounds a
little like people throwing things at the wall and seeing if it
sticks.  I would try to identify the sound device a little better
before installing more software, but it does look like it's
compatible with some recent Intel integrated IO.

=> 
https://thesofproject.github.io/latest/getting_started/intel_debug/introduction.html

And it does look like you have a version of sof-firmware installed
so I wonder if it's not up to date.  This isn't something I'm familiar
with; I haven't needed it for my AMD machine.

I also wonder whether the jack task assignment changed.  Many HDA
devices can switch an analog jack between several kinds of input and
output (line-level vs microphone with DC bias vs headphone out) and I
could imagine those settings being changed.  hdajackretask, which I
think is part of alsa-tools-gui, is the usual way to change those
settings.

I can't see anywhere where the OP claims to have set up LFS for
booting itself, as opposed to being booted from a Debian Grub.
It only says "I have been able to get a grub.cfg including the
LFS system …", which seems to imply LFS has only been set up
as a "foreign" system by a Debian system.

When os-prober runs on my system, a lot of stuff gets logged in
messages, syslog and user.log. The lines that contain the string
"result:" (without the quotes) are interesting. It's evident from
those that have six fields following result: have had their root=
field copied from the foreign system's grub.cfg. (In my case,
"foreign" means a Debian system of the previous release.)

When os-prober writes several clauses into my new grub.cfg's
"### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###" section, the references
to the partition are constructed using UUIDs (not PARTUUIDs, because
there's an initrd). However, the kernel command line reads
"root=LABEL=toto04", so that string wasn't constructed by os-prober,
but copied from the foreign grub.cfg¹.

That suggests to me the probability that whereas +Grub constructs+
the root= strings for the "### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###"
section, +os-prober copies+ the root= strings into the
"### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###" section instead.

In case it's not clear, "generically symlinked" means that
/vmlinuz is a symlink pointing to the most recent linux-image.
(Similarly for initrd.) I added the following to
/etc/grub.d/07_custom:

  menuentry 'My bullseye' $menuentry_id_option 'custom' {
  load_video
  set gfxpayload=keep
  insmod gzio
  insmod part_gpt
  insmod ext2
  search --no-floppy --set=root --label noah03
  echo'Load /vmlinuz …'
  linux   /vmlinuz root=LABEL=noah03 ro systemd.show_status=true quiet
  echo'Load initial ramdisk /initrd.img …'
  initrd  /initrd.img
  }

¹ After installing a system, upgrading the kernel, or upgrading
  Grub, I run a script that converts /all/ the UUIDs in grub.cfg
  into LABELs, in this little dance:
  cp grub.cfg   → grub.cfg-uuids
  cp grub.cfg-edited→ grub.cfg-old
   < grub.cfg filter-script > grub.cfg-edited
  cp grub.cfg-edited→ grub.cfg

Cheers,
David.

To be fair to the OP, there was no official "script", but just some code:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/12/msg00894.html
which I pasted into /tmp/lbrtchx.sh. The filename suffix was a mere
convenience to make emacs colour the code and tidy the indentation,

Yes, I'm guessing that the OP is in my timezone, as just a few of
their previous posts have -5/-6 offsets. But most are +0, and
I wonder whether the OP ran this code on an all-UTC machine.
(IDK whether their using gmail is relevant.)

I ran it on my machine (America/Chicago) to demonstrate to myself,
and also the OP, that the code couldn't be correct.

Bookworm: Analog audio disappeared

[Christian Gelinek]

Dear Debian community,

I'm running Bookworm with XFCE; Linux version 6.1.0-15-amd64 
(debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU 
ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) and since yesterday, I cannot seem to 
use the analog audio card any more.


The card isn't showing up in `pavucontrol` or in `aplay` and `arecord`:

You may not have a physical box that sits between your computer and the
Internet. But you almost certainly have some sort of software firewall
on your PC, which does much the same thing.

I suspect few if any regulars here spend much time with Slackware. I think a 
more
conventional approach would be to reconfigure Slackware to boot by UUID, with 
the
result that Debian's os-prober should pick it up in the more reliable fashion. I
don't have a bootloader installed on my only Slackware, and have no more
familiarity with ELILO than that it seems to be the Slack user favorite
bootloader. Whether or how well it or its Grub might pick up Debian, or any
proclivity it may have to usurp boot control from Debian or include stanza(s) 
for
Debian, I have no basis for guessing.

If you can keep your Slack kernel (& initrd if using one) generically symlinked
without much trouble, a stanza you put in /etc/grub.d/41_custom should be able 
to
boot Slack from Debian's Grub using your custom stanza containing root=LABEL= or
root=UUID= without trouble. Same would go for using 07_custom, or custom.cfg 
with
06_custom, to move your custom stanza to the Debian Grub menu's top.

Multiboot is as much art as science. Like anything in Gnu/Linux, there are
multiple ways to decouple felines from their skins.

Not trackballs like a Marble FX, at any price. Caps are about the only things on

the bazillion choices of almost but not quite they stock is the usual problem.

They wear out with use and has to be replaced, given that they are very
inexpensive, standardized and relatively easy to replace.
Here is a link to PDF datasheet [1] for Omron D2F series switches

You need a switch with pin plunger and compatible terminals, those
depend on mice model.
You can buy them at local electronics store, order them from China
(AliExpress), or from any other reputable source.

Can you suggest any particular online source in North America that sells those

Trackman
Marble FX PS/2 trackball. It took 2 hours to get that tiny switch back together
after disassembly and cleaning. :( A Kensington Orbit I had much better luck 
with
cleaning, so didn't need a new switch.

AliExpress is reputable? That's news to me. I ordered something from it 20 
months
ago. There was a lot of back and forth email between us before I actually got
something a month later that turned out to be used rather than new, and just as
broken as the original part I was trying to replace. My credit card company
eventually issued a refund after I explained all that happened. That particular
card I rarely used, and hadn't for a number of months before that online 
purchase
or for several months after. 3 months or so after the refund, there were 4 cash
advances issued on it totaling around $8,000 on the other side of an ocean I had
never crossed. Those got reversed, but my credit rating dropped 100 points and
hasn't come near recovering.

Hi,

digikey.com and mouser.com both have microswitches and good service.  It 
will be a lot easier to throw the mouse away and get a new one.  They 
are almost dirt cheap.

I read on the web and it suggests that it works when one uses a firewall in
the middle of the network to administrate. I don't have a firewall, it's a
simple personal PC, but I would like to confirm if this is a service that
is working for no reason on my personal PC; otherwise, does it have a
different purpose?

How to index mails in kmail?

[Hans]

Hi folks,

is there a way to get all mails of kmail get indexed? 

As far as I read and understood, mails of kmail are not indexed by baloo. 
Obviously akonadi is 
indexing in its own way.

However, none of my mailfolders are indexed and I can not get it forced to be 
indexed. They 
say, akonadi is responsible for indexing, so I checked:

It looks like, I have everything necessary installed. 

Did I miss anything? Can I force akonadi to reindex all mails?

I also dicovered "akonadi vacuum" and "akoinadi fsck", but these shall only 
clean and compress 
the database.

Searching the web I found many discussions with the problem "cannot search 
through mails in 
kmail" but none of them got any solution.

Several years ago this worked, but I forgot, since when searching through mails 
in kamail was 
no more possible.

Thanks for any help. If this is a bug in kamil or akonadi, please tell me, too.

Best regards

Hans

It's already upgraded.  Perhaps this system has unattended-upgrades
installed (or some equivalent), and the others don't.  Or, they all
do, but the times at which they upgrade are randomized, and you
happened to catch things during an interval when one of them has
upgraded, but the other two haven't yet.

Can you suggest any particular online source in North America that sells those
switches? I had no success trying to refurb one in my invaluable Logitech 
Trackman
Marble FX PS/2 trackball. It took 2 hours to get that tiny switch back together
after disassembly and cleaning. :( A Kensington Orbit I had much better luck 
with
cleaning, so didn't need a new switch.

AliExpress is reputable? That's news to me. I ordered something from it 20 
months
ago. There was a lot of back and forth email between us before I actually got
something a month later that turned out to be used rather than new, and just as
broken as the original part I was trying to replace. My credit card company
eventually issued a refund after I explained all that happened. That particular
card I rarely used, and hadn't for a number of months before that online 
purchase
or for several months after. 3 months or so after the refund, there were 4 cash
advances issued on it totaling around $8,000 on the other side of an ocean I had
never crossed. Those got reversed, but my credit rating dropped 100 points and
hasn't come near recovering.

As I said, I fixed a couple of them where the switches weren't the
failure, but rather the mechanical transmission, which became "too
short" (most probably because the frame around it became too long).
A thin shim did the trick.

Been there done that. Cheap mice have cheap switches which fail sooner

I have 3 debian servers which are mostly the same.  2 of them if I run
apt list --upgradable, I get a list of 20 or so packages to update.
One of them only shows this:

The sources files are identical.  There's nothing being held back that
I know of.  Packages on this server currently match the other
servers...for example, openvpn is the same version, it's going to be
updated on the other servers but not this one.

How can I find what's causing this?

Replace the flaky switch.  If you're not happy wielding a soldering
iron, get a friend to do it - assuming you know someone competent at
soldering.

Failing that, when you come to buy a new mouse, pay more;  That way, one
would hope, that the quality of parts would be better, making for a
longer life.

My mouse developed similar behaviour;  LMB(1) became very touchy.  I
replaced the switch about three years ago and am still using the same
device now.  The mouse is now over a decade old.

Also, it's a good idea to give your mouse a darn good clean every now
and then.  This means taking it apart to get all the dust and other cruft
out that accumulates over time.

(1)  IME it's almost always LMB that fails - it gets far more use than
RMB.

clicks within a short period of time to be interpreted as a single mouse click?

Thats in the mouse, caused by the switch not being solidly against the 
pcb its mounted to by solder so it flexes, eventually breaking the 
copper foil of the trace, so it issues a click as you push the button, 
but breaks contac as your fingeer pushes ion down, the makes the second 
contact as the switch comes back then the switch opens, creating two 
clicks for the motion of one. Sometimes you can lay a piece of wrapping 
wire around the switches pin, and extend it across the micro-crack after 
scraping off the green masking paint and rigging some sort of a clamp to 
hold the switch against the pcb solidly so it doesn't re-break your fix. 
 Its a fiddly PITA. 30+ years ago I had to keep a pile of Amiga mice 
working at the tv station where I was the CE.  The Amiga mouses motion 
encoders were unique as they were miniature quadrature encoders, much 
smoother and far more instant and accurate than any "pc" mouse even 
today, if you ever used one you will remember how easy it was to do 
precise work, and no one but Amiga (commode door) ever made replacements 
as it took an ultra fine 9 wire cable to talk to it.  We stretched what 
we had well past their geriatric years fixing them as best I could. 
Today the spastic junk we can get at Wallies isn't made to be fixed, 
just toss it and get another $9 model.  Problem solved, for a while.

This is a very common problem with micro-switches inside computer mice,
mechanical keyboards, etc.
They wear out with use and has to be replaced, given that they are very
inexpensive, standardized and relatively easy to replace.

I've had some success inserting a thin shim between plunger and
switch, on the theory that the whole thing (plunger, switch, mount
on the PCB) get shortened/worn out on use.

Usually it is gunk and taint getting accumulated on metal contacts inside.
If you really have to repair a micro-switch without soldering, you can 
disassemble them, clean thoroughly contacts inside and metal plate with 
Isopropyl alcohol, let it dry out and reassemble.

Required tools:
1. Needle to pry open a plastic cap and tweezers (those could be bought 
at hardware store)

2. Steady hands (can't be bought)
3. Good eyesight (you guessed it, also can't be bought).

I've had some success inserting a thin shim between plunger and
switch, on the theory that the whole thing (plunger, switch, mount
on the PCB) get shortened/worn out on use.

They wear out with use and has to be replaced, given that they are very

Here is a link to PDF datasheet [1] for Omron D2F series switches

You need a switch with pin plunger and compatible terminals, those 
depend on mice model.
You can buy them at local electronics store, order them from China 
(AliExpress), or from any other reputable source.

FWIW there's a case to be made that "The Right Thing" is to try and
reduce consumption of resources, and prolonging the use of hardware falls
in this category.

This said, fully working mouses are thrown out on a regular basis at
most large organisations, so it's probably a lost battle.  But maybe the
OP's mouse have some characteristic which makes it harder to find
worthy replacements.

I'd encourage the OP to try and add support for such "debounce" support in
the drivers.  If for no other reason than the satisfaction of having
done the right thing and the feeling of empowerment one gets from molding
the software to one's own needs (enabled by Free Software).

As far as I'm aware, there are no "low-pass" options in the drivers /
software to accommodate the case when the mechanical parts in the mouse
start sending spurious clicks, thanks to the contacts / springs / etc.
wearing out.  

It'd probably be less effort to just replace the failing switch(es) in
the mouse than trying to add that to the software.

Mouse single click handling?

Hi,

I have several mice that went bad with the same defect: they sometimes generate 
two single clicks very quickly (say, within 10-20ms) instead of a single click.

With reference to the above, is there a way or setting to force several mouse 
clicks within a short period of time to be interpreted as a single mouse click?

Thanks

Debian-installer gèle pendant l'installation sur Minis Forum UN305

[Olivier]

Bonjour,

J'ai acheté un Minis Forum UN305 pour y installer Bookworm et en faire
mon PC principal.

La machine est habituellement vendue avec Windows.

Après avoir désactivé le Secure Boot puis inséré une clé USB sur
laquelle j'avais copié l'iSO de Bullseye, j'ai pu accéder au menu du
BIOS (en pressant la touche F7 du clavier pendant le démarrage) pour
choisir cette clé comme media de démarrage.

L'installeur Debian démarre normalement, me pose quelques questions
(clavier, langue, ...) mais s'arrête avant de me questionner sur le
choix du réseau :
- l'écran reste vide,
- l'écran accessible avec Alt-F4 ne donne pas de message d'erreur particulier,
- je n'ai d'autre moyen que de dé"brancher l'alimentation du PC pour
arrêter le processus.

J'ai répété l'opération 2 ou 3 fois avec à chaque fois le même
résultat : gel pendant l'exécution de Debian Installer.

1. Connaissez-vous un moyen pour logguer sur un fichier externe tout
ce qui se passe pendant l'installation ? Avec les touches Alt-F2 ou
Alt-F3, j'ai accès à une console mais je ne sais pas quoi avec.

2. Avez-vous déjà installé avec succès Debian sur un Minis Forum ?
Quelle configuration préalable de BIOS avez-vous suivi ?

Re : Re: Copier un système (Debian) sur un disque plus grand.

[benoit]

Merci pour votre réponse,
Petite précision, c'est un ordinateur portable avec un « disque » nvme, qui ne 
peut en contenir qu’un seul.

Je pense à une solution intermédiaire inspirée de votre piste de réflexion… 

- Sauvegarder /etc et les données non synthème(telles que /home, etc)...
- Sauvegarder la liste des paquets installés :

aptitude -F "%p" search ~i\!~M > paquets.list

Comme on me l’a déjà indiqué sur cette liste (voir « Liste des paquets 
installés sur mon ordi »).

- Partitionner le nouveau disque, y faire une installation de base du système 
(Installation par le réseau à partir d'un CD minimal)

- Réinstaller les mêmes paquets sur le nouveau système.
apt install $( paquets.list

Va me sélectionner les paquets qui n’ont PAS (!~M)  été automatiquement 
installés.
Cf.
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/aptitude/ch02s04s05.fr.html#searchAutomatic

Donc ceux explicitement nommés dans une commande :
apt install nomPaquetA nomPaquetB nomPaquetC nomPaquetD nomPaquetE 

Imaginons que le paquet  nomPaquetC aurait de toute façon installé  nomPaquetD 
nomPaquetE en tant que dépendance de  nomPaquetC, 

comment exclure de la liste :  nomPaquetD nomPaquetE ?

Je consulte la doc ici :
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/aptitude/ch02s04s05.fr.html#tableSearchTermQuickGuide

Quand on installe un paquet qui était déjà installé automatiquement  en tant 
que dépendance d’un autre, apt répond que le package est marqué comme installé 
manuellement.

Et j’ai l’impression que :
apt autoremove ne pourra plus fonctionner car si sur le système actuel, je fais 
:

aptitude -F "%p" search ~i\!~M > paquets.list

Et que sur la nouvelle installation je fais :
apt install $( a écrit :

Hi, my approach is to do that on my laptop by using grub to boot into various
different Debian installations.

Multiboot is un-fashionable, but I find it useful and versatile. Hard
drives are plenty
big enough to allow multiple operating systems installations.

The 931GB spinning hard drive has 4 primary partitions, sizes are approximate:
  Z = 12GB boot
  X = 12GB standalone minimal Debian installation with /boot symlinked
to /mnt/Z/X
  Y = 12GB standalone minimal Debian installation with /boot symlinked
to /mnt/Z/Y
  LUKS2 = 895GB

So basically there is unencrypted boot, and the majority of the drive
is allocated to the
LUKS2 encrypted partition. Plus there are a couple of minimal Debian
installations,
one of which has Zoom installed.

The LUKS2 partition contains LVM volumes
  S = 12GB swap
  A, B, C, D, E = 5x 12GB Debian installations with /boot symlinked to
/mnt/Z/{ABCDE}
  T = 149G data
  U = 497G data

I have installed Zoom on partition Y, which does not contain
cryptsetup tools, so
the LUKS2 partition cannot be opened, which hides all my sensitive data from
Zoom.

When I want to do real work, I boot one of my encrypted A,B,C,D,E installations
which can all access the common encrypted data in the T and U volumes.

It needs access to a microphone, camera, and the network. I
