Re: Error on the site.

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi Victor,

thanks for your input. From a technical pont of view you're totally right, but
I'm afraid we still can't write that there.

The sentence you suggested to alter is the first sentence of an article which
describes the fundamental basics of an operating system to newbies. The reader
may have heard what an operating system is but couldn't describe it in their
own words. Flinging around technical terms right at the start without
explaining them (fruits have kernels, what does this have to do with
computers?) is not helpful in an introduction, it more likely scares off the
reader.

The paragraph which follows the introduction does make the distinction you ask
for:

> An operating system consists of various fundamental programs which are needed
> by your computer so that it can communicate and receive instructions from
> users; read and write data to hard disks, tapes, and printers; control the

@ List

While compiling my answer above, I noticed that the more I look onto it, the
less I think that the paragraph does a good job on explaining anything. I gave
it some thought and came up with this:

I'm sorry, but I disagree. It states so very clearly in the header (our
slogan being »the universal operating system«) and on the right-hand
side of the page (»Debian is a completely Free Operating System«). I am
sure that this is sufficient.

On your second point, I think it's safe to assume our visitors (and
possible users) know what an operating system is. Running a different
operating system on a computer in general and Debian in particular
simply requires a certain level of knowledge.

This might sound elitist, but think cameras. They might take good
pictures in automatic mode, but if you want to play out the full
potential of yours, you've got to learn the basics (and suddenly you
find yourself in an amateur photography club and hold exhibitions with
your pictures ).

Well, this was lenghty, but I hope I could get across why the Debian
website is fine as it is.

/devel/website/translating.wml: Missing tags and missing explanation

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi everyone,

in the occasion of The Great Transition To Gitlab I am currently re-
translating the page about translating the website and on the way I noticed 
some missing  tags (although it doesn't seem to be a problem for the 
build process):

Line 244:
Note: if you find you need to make any other changes, send mail to
debian-www saying what you changed and why, so the problem can be corrected.

Line 286: 
Once you do this you have to, of course, update the document before
you check it in again. Or it might be otherwise removed.

Line 307:
We hope you find the work we've done will make translating
the pages as easy as possible. As has already been mentioned, if
you have any questions, you can ask them on the mailto:debian-www@lists.debian.org;>debian-www mailing
list.

Another thing I noticed is that the chapter on building the HTML files from 
WML doesn't mention that one has to install wim and weblint first. It wasn't 
hard to figure out (make was quite clear about it), but for the sake of 
completeness it should be in the guide IMO. Proposal:

> You can build HTML from WML. Install the packages wml and
> weblint, then run
> make file.lang.html.
> If that works, check if the syntax is fully valid with
> weblint file.lang.html.

Any objections? If not I'd like to put it into translations.wml myself.

Cheers,
Erik

that's not as illogical as it sounds, "amd64" has its name simply because it

not neccessarily. When installing a non-Linux OS, there's no need to know what 
a CPU architecture is, because they only support one or two of them. The 
others even use other labels like "32-bit" and "64-bit" instead of "i386" and 
"amd64" and it usually boils down to how old your computer is (whether it 
supports AMD64) and how much RAM you want to use (4 GB or more).

Study computer science? ;-) Jokes aside, the page is missing a statement like 
"if in doubt, use i386" or an overview what of these is to be installed on 
which machine type (32-bit PC → i386, 64-bit PC → amd64, pre-Intel Mac → 
PowerPC, Nintendo64 → mips and so on).

Doesn't he read computer magazines? I did a quick search on four of them (c't,

In the non-tech community it arrived at the latest with the takedown of

Getting rid of this pages not found problem

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi everyone,

as we just had the third complaint about a missing kFreeBSD installation guide 
in 
just three weeks, I strongly suggest that we either remove the links or put a 
hint 
like currently not available or coming soon on them. We also could set up a 
nice page saying something like we don't have one yet, would you mind helping 
us 
out? (my favourite) or issue a entry in the news section saying, we need help 
with 
our manual.

IMO it's unsustainable that we offer something on our website what isn't there 
and 
when people ask, we can just point them to some e-mails saying that we have 
nothing 
and don't know when there will be something.

Why not taking the short way and telling the whole story on the respective web 
page 
instead of letting people write mails and sending them from here to there?

 Preface: Hello! Sorry, if message sent for wrong email. Replace it, if

 I'm going to try linux at soon. But now this fucking holywars about
 Linux or GNU/Linux is irritating me.

What holywars? As far as I can see it's just Stallman and fellows who are 
insisting 
on GNU/Linux. But that is rather logical that he wants his project to be 
mentioned, 
as one cannot deny its contributions to free software (Lots of core software on 
typical Linux systems, like bash, is written by the GNU project. I've even seen 
that 
software in Mac OS X).

 All popular
 distributions call their systems is Linux or Linux-based OS. For
 examples: Fedora Linux, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE Linux, Gentoo Linux,
 Linux Mint, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Slackware Linux,
 etc., but only debian team use GNU/Linux at least in their
 documentation for a long time.

I don't know the others, but Ubuntu excessively mixes free and non-free 
software 
(with the aim to offer the best possible Linux experience), so I don't think it 
would be a good idea to call it GNU/Linux, as it implies that Ubuntu's 
running 
almost just GNU software (which is free with no exceptions).

 I don't care about GNU, because
 Stallman is stupid paranoid, but i appreciate em for GNU software,
 what allow me booting Linux-based OS on my computer. Do i need a feel
 freedom when use Free Operating System? 

What do you mean with a feel freedom when using free OS? For a normal 
computer 
user, it doesn't make a huge difference in the look and feel when you are using 
software with built-in freedom, apart from the facts that it's more stable, not 
as 
bloated as proprietary software (just think of that well-known PDF reader with 
its 
over 500 MBytes, while the free Evince PDF reader just weighs something between 
30 
and 50 MBytes, if I remember correctly) and extremely customizable, hell, you 
can 
even tailor a system that makes an old Pentium III driven laptop feel like it 
still 
could cope with almost everything (experience value)!

However, when you really want to feel a huge difference between free and 
non-free, 
you just need to replace the stock ROM of your smartphone or tablet with an 
OpenSource mod like CyanogenMod. You'll get struck by the possibilities that 
open 
up when you realize that you now have full control of your device.

 Why i can't call it Linux? It's not a Freedom!

It's not about freedom, it's just a matter of definiteness. You can't call a 
car a 
door though every car has at least one door.

Look, Linux is the name of a single program, the so-called kernel. You can 
imagine the kernel like the kernel of a fruit – that's where it got its name 
from – 
and it's the most basic program that takes care of the processes started by the 
application programs and trying to make use of the computer, manages the RAM 
occupancy and many many more.

In short, it connects the hardware with the software and makes the programs you 
use 
run on the computer on or below your table. The BIOS/EFI is there, too, even 
below 
the kernel, but it's part of the hardware, so it doesn't matter here.

So, there is not the Linux and the general public – above all everyone 
outside 
the IT-crowd – are actually wrong when they regard Linux as a whole operating 
system, but the term established that way and we can't change it anymore 
(provided 
we have could at any time). But you can do it like the vendors of so-called 
embedded electronics, take Linux and build an operating system around it, or 
the 
other way round, incorporate it into your software. You just may not call it 
simply 
Linux to avoid confusion, as Linux is very popular in embedded electronics 
and is 
able to run on everything between a radio alarm clock and a supercomputer (and 
yes, 
it does).

 Are you going to review this position today? If
 not, i migrating to PC-BSD and will use it as my desktop OS.

That would be too bad. If my remarks above were not enough, I assume there is 
nothing I can do to make you use Linux (besides the usual marketing).

Sorry for the long text, but you asked for it ;-)

story here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel

*The Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player* may not be re-distributed, as paragraph 
3(o) of 
the EULA states:

http://www.adobe.com/products/eula/tools/flash_paper2.html (hope it's the right 
one)

Even the package flashplugin-nonfree ( http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer ) 
first 
downloads the program from the Adobe website before installing it.

But thanks for your proposal anyway!

Greetings
Erik

Mistake in the news of 2012-08-16 (19th anniversary of Debian)

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi,

while reviewing my translation of this page, 

http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120816

Martin Eberhard Schauer pointed me to a weakness (sic) in the text:

In the third paragraph it says Debian Wheezy was freezed in July, but 
according 
to this mail

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/06/msg6.html

it should be June 30th or End of June.

That's not setting the world on fire, but we should correct this anyway, for 
the 
sake of correctness.

Greetings
Erik

Re: warum haben Sie meine E-Mail ins Internet gestellt ?

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Sehr geehrter Herr Melchert,

alle E-Mails an debian-www@lists.debian.org landen in einem öffentlichen 
Archiv[1], 
wie schon auf unserer Kontaktseite [2] zu lesen ist. Da dieses Archiv – wie Sie 
schon festgestellt haben – von anderen Archiven kopiert wird, können wir Ihre 
Mail 
nicht mehr entfernen, tut mir leid.

Wenn sich bei Debianland übrigens weiterhin nichts ergibt, schildern Sie bitte 
Ihr 
Anliegen hier bitte noch einmal auf Englisch. debian-www@lists.debian.org ist 
eigentlich englischsprachig, aber auf der Seite mit den CD-Verkäufern wurde der 
entsprechende Hinweis vergessen (wenigstens das konnte ich beheben).

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Erik Pfannenstein

Bug#680109: www.debian.org: CD Vendor List: Missing note that e-mails to debian-www@lists.debian.org are published

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

on http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors it says that if there are problems with the 
vendor, one
should contact debian-www@lists.debian.org. Mr. Meichert did so and then 
wondered why we published 
his e-mail on the Internet [1].

To avoid such confusion in the future, I suggest that we either add a note that 
all mail to this address 
is publicly stored in the mail archive and one should not send personal 
information there. Or we 
set a link to http://www.debian.org/contact which also features this note, plus 
the disclaimer.

For myself, I'd prefer a mixture of both, a note about the archive and personal 
data and a link to the 
contact page with a request to read it (the disclaimer).

What do you think about it?

Greetings
Erik

Re: Keine Hilfe von debian!

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hallo Carlo,

diese Mailingliste ist englischsprachig, stell Deine Frage daher bitte noch mal 
auf 
englisch. Wenn es nötig ist, kann ich gern beim Übersetzen helfen.

Kleine Info vorab (obwohl ich kein Webmaster bin): »Lenny« – wie der Roboter 
aus 
Toy Story – ist der Codename von Debian 5.0. Von daher wundert es mich nicht, 
dass 
er in der Ergebnisliste auftaucht.

Grueße
Pfannenstein Erik






[english version for the mailing list]

Hello Carlo,

this mailing list is English-only, so please ask your question again in 
English. I 
can help you translate, if necessary.

FYI (though I'm no webmaster): Lenny (like the robot in Toy Story) is the 
codename of Debian 5.0. So it takes me no wonder that it appears in the search 
results.

Re: Lenny release info: wrong release date

Hi Adam,

 No, it doesn't.  It very specifically says Debian GNU/Linux *5.0.10*
 was released March 10th, 2012., which is factually correct.

Ah, damnit, now I see it.

 That being said, I do see the confusion. Maybe it would be better (for
 obsolete releases) to say:
 
 
  Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.10, the last update to lenny, was released
  March 10th, 2012. The release included many major changes,
  described in our press release and the Release Notes.

That still does say nothing about the age of Lenny and its software (at least 
not 
directly). Changing this would give another strong argument to convince people 
to 
upgrade to Squeeze.

 Compare this with the text for squeeze which we worked on recently:
 
  Debian 6.0.4 was released January 28th, 2012. Debian 6.0.0 was
  initially released on February 6th, 2011. The release included many
  major changes, described in our press release and the Release Notes.
 
 For consistency, shouldn't the lenny page mention the date of the
 initial release, too?

I agree.

Erik

Hi all,

while browing the release info pages in the context of [1], I noticed that it

Could somebody please correct this? I've tried to do it myself, but I couldn't

where current_release_date_lenny is defined.

Thank you!

Re: Aufstellung Debian Versionen = Versionsnummern

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hello Ben,

since I wouldn't have found that page if I've looked for it either, I'd suggest 
renaming the release info to releases overview. From my point of view the 
singular in release info implies that you can just find information on the 
current release and after clicking on it suddenly a text about the three 
branches 
and all versions since 2.0 jumps into your face.

While we're at it, we could add an info that security support for one version 
runs 
out one year after the successor of it was released, meeting the second part of 
Mr. 
Haase's request.

Greetings
Erik

Re: Problem

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hello,

On Sunday 08 April 2012 10:31:12 Sandor Kallai wrote:

 I have a problem. I'm a debian user and i use Debian 5.0 Lenny.

No good idea, since Debian Lenny is outdated [1].

 can use the system without any problem until last yesterday, when i
 need to reinstall the system, and make single boot my pc. when I want
 to install the system from network, can't find the server for download
 files. I installed without network only the base system. After install
 a find the new mirror from where can I download the packages. I edited
 my sources.list file with inserting the new mirror adress, after that
 I updated the database and I install the softwares what I need. After
 the install i used the system and just frozen when i watched a film.
 After restart the system can't activate the swap space and crashes
 again. After a new restart the system starts properly. Can you help
 me, what is the problem. 

At first I see a huge problem: As you describe, you used a Debian Lenny CD for 
installation and then simply updated the main mirror address to install 
packages 
from there. There's a mistake in your method. The main archive (and its 
mirrors) 
doesn't contain Debian Lenny packages anymore, they were moved to 
archive.debian.org [2].

Simply installing Squeeze packages on a Lenny system makes at least a huge mess 
and 
I can't tell how long it keeps working, but I bet it will fail someday, because 
the 
packages are kept updated and the base system does not [2]. Someday the new 
programs will drop support for the old technologies used in Lenny and as soon 
as 
it's an important technology like INIT (does the boot process and was replaced 
by 
systemd), your system's down the drain.

So, at first I recommend you to either try to upgrade your Lenny to Squeeze or 
(better) wipe it completely and reinstall your PC with Debian Lenny. With a 
little 
luck, your problems end in smoke. Otherwise you may consult the experts from 
[3]. A 
hardware test wouldn't be wrong, too (when the system freezes, it's mostly the 
RAM).

Hello,

if I may jump into this discussion, I support Hugo's suggestion of the FSFE's

Pakete kann ich Ihnen überhaupt keine nennen, denn ich glaube kaum, dass Sie

Dear Mr. Päßler,

I'm afraid I have to tell you that we can't help you here. This mailing list 
only 
is about the website of the Linux distribution Debian.

Usually I had pointed you to the mailing list 
debain-user-ger...@lists.debian.org , 
but they also don't have a clue of Windows and so there are only the usual user 
boards left, e. g. CHIP Online ( http://forum.chip.de ) or in this case the VLC 
board 
on http://vlc-forum.de or http://forum.videolan.org

Furthermore I can't name you any packages at all, because I don't believe that 
you 
can run them on Windows.

Yours sincerely,
Erik Pfannenstein

P. S. For your information: The english part of this mail is written for the

Hey Mark,

calm down, pal, it's just an spam mail (one of many, because of the lousy

BTW you sent your mail to the wrong recipient -- I don't believe they

CVS commit: 295

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hello list,

I have some trouble with CVS:

After updating my local CVS copy I copied the file 20110617.wml into another 
directory outside of the checkout and translated it. After that I moved it into 
webwml/german/News/2011 and added it to the CVS. The program told me to cvs 
commit it to permanently add this file. So far so good.

After entering cvs commit 20110617.wml and the key phassphrase, cvs printed 
nothing but 259. I waited for about half an hour and pressed [Strg]+[C], cvs 
acknowledged that it got an interrupt signal and that the commit was aborted. 
Since now I could enter what I wanted, all the shell said was ?.
When I closed the shell, Konsole meant that the program cvs was still running 
(so no exit state).

That was about one week ago. I thought there was a temporary server problem 
and tried again at the following days, with another file 
(/webwml/german/uebersetzung/leute; here the number was 291) and asked for 
help in the german mailing list, got a hint to try updating my CVS copy via 
update -APCd, purged the package cvs today and reinstalled it, nothing 
helped.

Do you have any ideas or know where to ask?

Thanks a lot!

Hopefully,
Erik

 checking. Host key verification failed.
 cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if

Is that problem related to the Alioth update David mentioned in the thread 
Error commiting changes in CVS? May I trust in that this is just an harmless 
key change?

Does somebody else have this alert?

Thanks!

Suggestion: Add the date to the list of speeches (news from Mai 11th)

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi list,

I got a suggestion by Paul Menzel on debian-l10n-german that one could add the 
date (and place) in the list of speeches at the LinuxTag  
(http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110511) in the future. He thinks that it 
could attract the people who have no interest for the stories behind the 
links.

I support this idea, because it also could serve as some sort of quick 
reference for the ones who plan to visit the talks but can't remember the 
dates.

What's your opinion? Would you mind applying it?

Cheers
Erik

Maybe someone at the project knows someone who knows someone who lives near 
Rodrigo and is able to give/copy/borrow the discs to him?

Just an spontaneous idea ...

Re: Downloaded version from Debian website - Burning of CD failed

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi Mike,

 I'm not an inexperienced user, though a novice at this sort of thing.  I
 would think an offer of a free download, to be put on a cd
 would be rather simple.  After 17 minutes of burning, I forced an
 ejection of the cd, and the log read burning failed.
 Any ideas?

Yes, write an e-mail to debian-u...@lists.debian.org
That is the official support mailing list, we are only doing the Debian 
website here.

If you prefer another language, please visit http://lists.debian.org, the 
Debian users are further below.

Thanks for downloading Debian!

Re: Front page

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hi Jonathan,

the list suggests that something went wrong with your start page, so what's 
your start page? You can check it by following these instructions:

http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=95314

While you're at it, try to use something others like http://www.google.com or 
http://www.debian.org as start page.

Or the error might be caused by

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620934

Cheers

 Hi Erik
 
 Sunday before last I switched on the computer, logged on as user  and then
 clicked on Google Chrome to open.  I am then taken to another page that I
 have never  seen before, see attached file.  Clicking on the link
 index.lightppd.html leads me onto script that I don't understand.
 
 That's it.  I have another e-mail address that opens up chrome and my wife
 can also use hers.
 
 Has someone put it there and corrupted me using it?
 
 Thanks
 
 Jonathan

 I've sent a copy my last mail to you to the list. If there's an answer,
 I'll tell you.
 
 I have some questions: You wanted to download Google Chrome and got onto
 the Debian wepage.
 
 On what page were you as you searched for Chrome? What did you do exactly?
 Please tell me the whole story as detailled as you can, not just one or two
 little sentences, so that I can understand it. That's E-Mail, not SMS ;)
 
 BTW: Have you tried http://www.google.com/chrome , too?

 Thanks for spotting it.

You're welcome.

 As advised in the website [0], you should not
 hesitate to fix such typo when you catch some.

 In order not to bother
 translators, the ./smart_change.pl comes handy to bump the translation
 check

Thanks for the guide, hope I don't need it so soon ...

I guess that they think they have to update their complete checkout, as a 
complete CVS-checkout isn't really fast and the guide at [1] doesn't mention 
with one word that cvs update -d just updates the current working directory.

I for myself do have a full checkout.

Possible mistake in the Adrian-von-Bidder-news of 11/04/23

[Pfannenstein Erik]

Hello together,

if I may shortly introduce myself: I'm Erik Pfannenstein from Germany, and I'm 
doing the German translation of Debian-News.

While translating the News of April 23th, I noticed that below »About Debian« 
it says »the operating systems Debian«. Obviously there is an S too much.

Greetings,
Erik
