Tell Ubuntu and Debian apart in a shell script ...

Re: Tell Ubuntu and Debian apart in a shell script ...
Hi again,
Can you look in /etc/issue (or maybe /etc/debian_version)?
As a matter of fact that was my first naive method. It does work for Debian
(unless changed by someone), but on Ubuntu this always contains the same string
as far as I saw squeeze/sid.
However, it could be that I'm on to something with:
(which lsb_release /dev/null `which lsb_release` --id)|awk '{print $3}'
... does not work on older systems which don't have lsb_release, though.
Still looking,
// Oliver

Re: Fascinating problem with bash
Hello Cameron, Bob, As soon as I read this paragraph I saw the problem. I confirmed it looking at the code. It's a common problem. This construct: some_cmd | while read var ; do OTHER_VAR=... done will result in OTHER_VAR being unset at the completion of the loop. That is because the while command is on the right-hand side of the pipe meaning it runs in a subshell. At the end of the while loop, the subshell exits and any vars it sets will go away with it. Okay, that is surprising indeed, as SHLVL is not being adjusted to reflect that fact, according to my findings. But thanks a bunch for pointing that out. It's surely more elegant to use this method than to write to a temporary file. Also thanks to Bob for providing the links. Very useful, noted them down.

Fascinating problem with bash
Hi folks,
on my Debian box I'm running GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release
(i486-pc-linux-gnu).
Now, today I ran across a slight problem that I fail to understand. I have one
script that acts as a library of a kind. I.e. it is being sourced by other
scripts and performs some actions upon startup.
I have the following three files for a minimal working example of the problem
(I trimmed a lot of error/prerequisite handling):
* test.sh (requires chmod a+x test.sh)
* common-bash-routines.sh (in the same folder)
* etc/defaults
test.sh uses common-bash-routines.sh as a library and common-bash-routines.sh
is supposed to inspect the variable SCRIPTCONF to find out whether it is set.
If it is set there are two choices (inner while loop):
1.) it's a file, it means it will get sourced
2.) it's a directory
Both cases can occur in several places (outer while loop). Since the paths can
contain blanks, I resorted to a while read loop because for simply would
tokenize the file names more than desirable.
Now since I would like to know whether I have successfully sourced *something*
I was going to set a variable (SOURCED in my case). However, this variable does
not get set in the outer or the inner loop. Also, using export instead of the
normal variable assignment makes no difference whatsoever. How can I carry the
information as to whether I have sourced *something* outside of the loops?
Thanks for any helpful pointers or hints,
// Oliver
PS:
Code contents follow:
---
###
## test.sh (uses the library)
###
#!/usr/bin/env bash
SCRIPTCONF=$PWD/etc

Hi again. On 23.08.2010 21:45, Burton Samograd wrote: You might have to the source file name to a temporary file from the sourced scripts and then read that after the loop is done. Since while seems to capture variable setting in its own scope it might be the only way for what you want to do to work.

I was surprised by the behavior, since SHLVL didn't show any differences between outside, inside the outer and inside the inner loop.

Re: rkhunter mails to root: should I worry?
Should I worry? What are these messages I'm seeing? Especially the ones that are reporting that the utilities sudo, dpkg-query and dpkg have changed. How do I know these are legitimate? You should know whether the respective packages owning those files were updated by you (our the unattended security updates mechanism) lately. Otherwise try to see from the system log. Also, the .deb files likely contain some hashes that you can look up on a known clean system, because obviously if a real rootkit is involved you shouldn't trust information found in the system log. I'm running debain 5.0 on a amd64 system. The last three warnings I get regularly. Debian is a bit slower to update to the latest versions, but on the other hand some security-relevant patches get backported so I wouldn't be too worried about those (including exim). // Oliver -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: How much RAM can debian support?
Hi, I'm moving to a Macbook soon(staying with debian tho:p) and apple keep advertising that snow leopard can support 16 exobytes of RAM. Im just wondering how much can 64-bit debian support? the theoretical maximum for Linux is currently 128 TiB. However, this discussion is moot because AFAIK none of the current chipsets (nor the CPUs themselves) support this maximum theoretical amount of RAM - including the Intel processors in Macbooks.

Re: etckeeper - keeping /etc under version control
I do not see how this solves the metadata issue if you use a version control system directly without the smartness etckeeper brings to the table e.g. by using its .gitignore settings. svk is an attempt to inject the notion of being a decentralized scm into a centralized one (which svn happens to be) ... that has nothing to do with putting /etc under version control metadata = data stored in .svn/ ? Yes. In this case all the metadata stored by SVN. Certainly there is more metadata which is nowadays simply ignored by many VCS, partially due to the discrepancies between different platforms and there implementation of, say, file permissions, partially out of negligence or lack of a *proper* solution. Also, as far as I understand SVK it's using only one Subversion library, not the whole thing.

Re: Cross-compiler tool chain
Hi, What are you planning to do? The plan is to have one host machine that has a unified (all the same versions) set of GCC and a libc (not necessarily glibc) that can be used to build our product for different platforms. Potentially distcc would be used to speed up the builds. You may find Emdebian useful: http://www.emdebian.org/ Thanks, I'll look into that. I should also note that I found crosstool-ng, which goes into the right direction. However, in my case the target architectures *and* platforms differ, so we aren't just talking of builds for Linux. Official Debian packages are built natively on the target architecture. Alright, I didn't know. I would imagine that is pretty slow for some architectures, given the amount of code to be translated.

Forcing mount to use a particular file system type
Hi, I'm trying to mount a volume that is supposed to be FAT32, all sources I could find agree on that and so does sfdisk (reporting it as FAT32). However, the FS ID in the partition table is different, because it is a so-called backup capsule from Paragon Drive Backup. Now I'd really like to mount that thing under Linux, without changing the FS ID. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe the exact way? Maybe it's similar to mounting a QCOW image where one has to give a special offset?! BTW: I tried to mount it as vfat and ntfs, neither one worked.

Boot CD and terms of use
Hi, what is the best method to create a boot CD (i386) using Debian? Is it advisable to use the generic kernel from the network installation CD or would you recommend to compile a custom kernel? Or is it perhaps better to base it on something like Knoppix (which in turn is based on Debian). In addition I'd like to know how the following works. I am asking this because our company would like to offer a wizard that allows the end-user to create a bootable CD. Now, what are the implications from the GPL? The program that is supposed to be included is proprietary. This is similar to the (Linux-based) rescue CDs included in products such as TrueImage, Paragon Drive Backup ... I've never seen those companies offering the source code or scripts used to build it. But that's not the point because we would be happy to offer those. However, is it really necessary to provide the source form of all packages used, or is it enough to provide the tools to do it via a Debian system?

Re: Boot CD and terms of use
If I were you I'd take a existing live CD you think is closest to what you need and modify that, learning the tools they use to build it also the way. Okay, sounds sensible. This list is not a legal professional. Your company needs to be asking these questions to a lawyer. Of course not and I am aware of the fact that any advice given here wouldn't be binding anyway. IANAL and TINLA, but you will probably only need to provide source for software that appears on the image that was licensed to your company under the LGPL or GPL. Those licenses give a number of options for how you can satisfy the requirement to provide source. Well, as far as I know a pointer (e.g. hyper link) to the source is sufficient unless it's a modified version of the GPL'd product. Also, we could for example offer a download of all source DEBs from our customer zone as well. This is kind of pointless though, because it would make more sense to offer the tools (scripts) to create the image and have those tools use an existing installation of Etch or Lenny, for example. The image itself is generally not considered a derivative work of the tools used to build it, so you aren't constrained by their license. The image is generally considered a mere aggregation of the software it contains so it as a whole is not covered by their licenses or vice-versa. Oh, that's interesting.

Hi again, hope that helps before I did that, I noticed there were numerous xen 3.2 packages available. Removing the xen 3.0 stuff was easy (and would have to be done anyway), but then came the issues. Now, almost everything is fine as long as you remove xen 3.0, because the kernel that comes with Debian seems to work with xen 3.2. At least suddenly I could even boot the new kernel (after installing the xen 3.2 stuff and getting rid of the old). However, some changes were needed after booting into the new kernel: 1.) The Xen config needed the interface name explicitly. See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477525#13 2.) I had to adjust the kernel and ramdisk parameters in the domU .cfg files (for obvious reasons ;)) After doing those steps, I got Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route failed; error detected. when attempting to create the domU, using xm create domu.cfg.
