Bug#845709: genisoimage version 9:1.1.11-3 : Misreads configuration file .genisoimagerc

2017-11-27 Thread Richard Betham
I have installed genisoimage version 9:1.1.11-2,
this correctly reads the  .genisoimagerc file.
I have also installed 9:1.1.11-2 of wodim and cdrkit-doc.

However I do not use these to generate any El Torito boot image.

I hope that this helps.

Genisoimage is very useful, however, it would be even better if it 
were to correctly read the .genisoimagerc file, as stated in the man 
pages

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#845709: genisoimage: Miss-reads configuration file .genisoimagerc

2016-11-25 Thread Richard Betham
Package: genisoimage
Version: 9:1.1.11-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The configuration file ./.genisoimagerc contains:
COPY=home/rb/private.txt
PUBL=Richard Betham
PREP=Richard Betham
SYSI=Linux/Debian

I gave the command:
genisoimage -o test.iso ~/standards/ 

I expected the computer to read the .genisoimagerc file,
read the directory tree and produce an iso image file.
I hoped for no errors.

 got an error message:
Using ".genisoimagerc"
.genisoimagerc:1: field name 'OPY=' unknown
.genisoimagerc:2: field name 'UBL=' unknown
.genisoimagerc:3: field name 'REP=' unknown

Total directory bytes: 10396
Path table size(bytes): 94
Max brk space used 21000
505 extents written (0 MB)

genisoimage ignored the contents of ./.genisoimagerc ,
except for giving the above error message.
I tested for this by the command:
isoinfo -d -i test.iso
.

Please alter the code so that the ./.genisoimage file will be read 
correctly.

Thank you very much for maintaining the package genisoimage.

Bug#839254: Add a detached signature file for the bible.rawtext file, please

2016-09-30 Thread Richard Betham
Source: bible-kjv
Version: 4.29

There is no signature  for the file called bible.rawtext , except that
it is signed as part of the package.
However, some future maintainer of the package might not wish to take 
full responsibility for the text.
Somebody might even write a package to generate HTML output from the 
bible.rawtext file.

I suggest that there should be a detached signature file, containing 
one, or more, digital signatures, to confirm the text as correct.
That would reduce the chances of errors being introduced into the 
text.

Thank you very much for maintaining the package known as bible-kjv.

Bug#836120: texlive-latex-base: [landscape] option of \documentclass

2016-08-30 Thread Richard Betham
Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2014.20141024-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I began my landscape-test.tex file with:
\documentclass[10pt,landscape,a4paper]{article}


I gave the commands:
latex landscape-test.tex 
xdvi landscape-test.dvi 



.
A new window opened in portrait shape.
It displayed some of the file.
There was a red border outlining an oblong,
taller than it was wide.

I would prefer a landscape shaped window,
displaying an area wider than it is tall.
I would prefer that the red outline also be wider than it is tall.
I had asked for "landscape" as advised in the book
"A Document Preparation System
LATEX
USER'S GUIDE AND
REFERENCE MANUAL"
by Leslie Lamport

I attach copies of the file landscape-test.tex
and landscape-test.fls .

The latter was produced later when I used the -recorder option.

--

Later, I gave the command:
dvips landscape-test.dvi
.
This generated a file called landscape-test.ps.

I gave the command:
okular landscape-test.ps  
.
This opened a window displaying a portrait document.
I required a landscape document.

--

I tried using pdflatex instead,
that correctly produced a landscape output,
as seen using okular.


Thank you very much for maintaining "latex",
I find it very useful.

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#495184: wodim: --devices

2016-08-15 Thread Richard Betham
Hi

This bug seems to have been fixed by Debian/Wheezy,
which has wodim version 9:1.1.11-2 .

Please check whether it works for you under Wheezy.

If so, then. I suggest that bug #495184, and perhaps some others, 
should be closed.
I believe that the original submitter can do that
through the bug tracking system.

A similar bug has appeared in Jessie which has
wodim version 9:1.1.11-3.
This has been recorded as bug #833346 .

Thank you for reporting the unhelpfulness of the error message,
recorded as bug #597500, and bug #597501,
error messages can be very important.

Bug#833346: wodim: "wodim --devices" does not work

2016-08-13 Thread Richard Betham
Hi

Thank you, Thomas, for that.
I have now tried the following commands, as root:
ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/scd0
ln -s /dev/sg1 /dev/scd1
ln -s /dev/sg2 /dev/scd2
ln -s /dev/sg3 /dev/scd3
.

Then as normal user:
wodim --devices
.

This produced the result:
"
wodim: Overview of accessible drives (2 found) :
-
 0  dev='/dev/scd1' rwrw-- : 'hp' 'DVD-RAM GHD0N'
 1  dev='/dev/scd2' rwrw-- : 'HUAWEI' 'Mass Storage'
-
"

So this seems to work.
I thank Thomas Schmitt very much for his assistance.
However I used sg? not sr? .

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#833346: wodim --devices" does not work

2016-08-12 Thread Richard Betham
I have tried using wodim   version 9:1.1.11-2
and  libcap2:i386   version 1:2.22-1.2 ,
this failed as before.

Later I re-installed Debian 7.9.0  (Wheezy) DVD1 in an old computer.
the command line "wodim --devices" worked there,
so did "wodim -scanbus" .

This is consistent with my recollections the Wodim worked 
satisfactorily as part of Wheezy in my old computer.

I hope that this is useful.

My old computer has since failed to boot, probably it is worn out.

Bug#833346: wodim: "wodim --devices" does not work

2016-08-03 Thread Richard Betham
Package: wodim
Version: 9:1.1.11-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


I entered the command line:
wodim --devices

and got the result:
"
wodim: No such file or directory. 
Cannot open SCSI driver!
For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.
"
This was output on Standard Error

I tried the same command as root, and on another machine, all with the same 
result.
I tried "wodim -scanbus"
with the same result.

I would prefer that Wodim --devices would tell me what CD and DVD drives are 
connected.

Eventually I used gui k3b, which used growisofs, successfully.

Thank you very much for supplying and maintaining wodim and cdrkit.

With best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#777080: crashed when trying to load plugins

2015-02-04 Thread Richard Betham
Package: gwenview
Version: 4:4.8.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wished to create a calendar containing a picture which I had.
The picture was in jpeg format.
My computer has about 500 MB of memory, and
was not connected to the Internet at the time.
It was running KDE,but was somewhat slow.
Under KDE, I launched gwenview from
the "Kickoff Application Launcher".
I selected the directory which contained the picture.
I selected the picture.
I selected the Menu item "Plugins".

My computer displayed the picture.
The Menu showed a sub-menu, which contained the word "Loading".
After a short delay the gwenview window disappeared.
After another delay, another window appeared, apparently it was the 
crash handler.

I tried this on several occasions, re-booting the computer between 
them.

Eventually, I tried using the crash handler window to generate a bug 
report.
That failed, however I saved a copy of the report to file,
it generated a file called gwenview-20150203-183132.kcrash,
I attach a copy.

Then I used "reportbug" in the konsole window to produce this report,
which I will copy to another computer to send it as an e-mail.

Thank you very much for maintaining gwenview.
Please tell me what debian packages it depends on.

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Thank you very much for your e-mail,
It is useful to know that I must remove the ":" and whatever follows,
from the end of the package name,
so that it will be suitable input for reprepro FilterList.

I have got my Makefile script file to work well enough
to generate an image for a cdrom which seems to
be acceptable to apt-cdrom, and to apt-get.

However, when I run my script again, trying to use the cdrom as one 
of the sources, reprepro generates an error message and aborts.
The text of the error messages is copied into the attached file
called "make.op.txt"

I have tried various variants of the update file,
using:
Method: cdrom:[...]
Method: cdrom://[...]
Method: cdrom:"[...]"

I did not put "...",
I put "Debian~Wheezy~in~part~as~at~2014-11-29+21:20:36".
I prefer to have spaces in the name, but that seemed to cause 
trouble.

I attach copies of various files which seem relevant.

Please advise me of the correct format for the line 
in the file conf/updates, which starts:
Method: cdrom:...

I am attempting to write a make script file, to cause reprepro,
to put onto cdrom, some of the packages which are installed
in the computer which runs the script file.
I have succeeded in using
Method: file:/...
in my update file.

Thank you very much for maintaining reprepro.

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#769577: how to configure reprepro to make repository of what is installed on host

2014-11-14 Thread Richard Betham
Package: reprepro
Version: 4.16.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wish to be able, conveniently to make a repository containing
the packages which:
+ are installed on my computer; and
+ are not included in the Official DVD, (or are a later version).
I prefer the new repository to contain the versions of packages which
are installed in my computer.
These have always been tested, even if not much.
I wish to copy the result to a CD-R, or to a DVD, which
should be acceptable to apt-cdrom, and to apt-get.
(apt-move used to do almost this.)

It is not obvious from the documentation of reprepro, how to do this.

I have started trying to make a script file to do this.
Does anybody else want it?
Has anybody already written one?

Is there an easy way to make a repository containing only installed 
packages?

Thank you very much for maintaining reprepro.

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#759704: pcmanfm: opens gimp instead of okular to view a PDF file

2014-08-29 Thread Richard Betham
Package: pcmanfm
Version: 0.9.10-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I used the filemanager to look at a PDF file (version 1.7)
on hard disk.
I was using lxde.

The filemanager opened gimp, to view the PDF file.
I would prefer that would open okular, by default.

So, I installed okular, and re-booted the computer.
the filemanager again opened gimp to view a PDF file.


Thank you very much for maintaining PCManFM.

Bug#757418: kmail: fails to fetch SSL certificates for pop

2014-08-07 Thread Richard Betham
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.4.11.1+l10n-3+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed kmail on Debian 7.5 and lxde.
I configured it to pop mail from my pop account(s).

I tried to download e-mail.
kmail failed to fetch and recognise the SSL certificates required.
The error message showed the certificate (after a few clicks) 
of the server, but did not show the CA certificates.

I tried several times, with and without kleopatra installed.

the server happens to vps-unixweb4.totalhostingplus.com .

I used iceweasel to obtain the server certificate, then
used openssl x509 to display it.
It contained a URL so I used wget to obtain a copy of the certificate 
of the intermediate CA

the Server certificate obtained by iceweasel has the same
fingerprint as the server certificate display by kmail.
According to "openssl verify ...", the intermediate certificate 
validly signs the server certificate.


It would be nice if in future kmail can handle a chain of 
certificates for pop over SSL and using TLS.


Thank you very much indeed for maintaining kmail..

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#752692: lxde exits and re-tries several  times, without letting me login

2014-07-08 Thread Richard Betham
The computer which I was using did not have an ethernet card,
nor Wi-Fi.

I have since doubled the amount of memory in it to about
380 Mega Bytes.
I wiped the hard disk drive, and re-installed Jessie 20140616.

I obtained a similar result,
notwithstanding the increase in memory capacity.

So,
I wiped the hard disk drive again, and
installed Wheezy, Debian 7.5.0 DVD-1 + DVD-2 + DVD-3.
Again selecting Advanced -> Alternative Desktop -> Lxde.

For some reason the system installed 4 packages from DVD-2.
Anyway, it worked.
It is slow, but it works.

I do not know what those four packages from Wheezy DVD-2 are.

I hope that this is useful, or more to the point, that
Jessie Lxde will work for people who cannot afford new computers.

with best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#752692: lxde exits and re-tries several times, without letting me login

2014-06-25 Thread Richard Betham
Package: lxde
Version: 4+nmu1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed Jessie 20140618 on a computer,
which could use only about 190 Mbytes of RAM,
In doing so, I selected Advance Options -> Alternative Desktop -> 
Lxde.

I re-booted the computer on the hard-drive, /dev/sda1.
The computer started to show the display of the dm, then gave up.
It tried again, and again, with a period of a few seconds.
The cycle time is 10 or 12 seconds.

Eventually the computer screen went blank except for a blinking '_' 
in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

I hoped to be able to login to the desktop environment, and use it.

Best regards from
Richard Betham

Bug#752543: fdisk fails to see iso9660 image

2014-06-24 Thread Richard Betham
package: util-linux
version: 2.20.1-5.8

under Jessie 20140618

I inserted a usb memory stick containing jessie testing 20140618.
I gave the command:
/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sdb

the result showed that the device had a partition
Id17
System  Hidden HPFS/NTFS
.
I would prefer that it tell me that:
the the device is not partitioned,
and has an image which might conform to iso9660.

I obtained similar results with the Jessie DVD/RW in the DVD drive.

Thank you very much for supplying the fdisk command,
please modify it to recognise iso9660 an image on a device.

(I do not use fdisk except "/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/...)

with best regards
Richard Betham

Bug#749550: landscape format, from *.xlsx file

2014-05-28 Thread Richard Betham
Sorry, I made a mistake in my bug report.
I was running calligrasheets under Wheezy, not Lenny as I stated.

I tried reportbug before, it did not work
-- possibly because my computer was off-line at the time.

I will try it next time.

Bug#749550: landscape format, from *.xlsx file

2014-05-27 Thread Richard Betham
Package: calligrasheets
Version: 1:2.4.4-3

Somebody sent me a form to fill in.
The form had a filename ending in ".xlsx"

I used calligrasheets, on Lenny to edit it.
The form was supposed to be in landscape format.
My computer failed to get it all onto one sheet of "paper".
This failure can be seen by the print preview facility in 
calligrasheets.

I attach a copy of the form.

I attach a list of some of the packages in my computer.

Please arrange for calligrasheets to correctly handle
landscape format.

Thank you very much for maintaining calligra.

Bug#631847: mirror signed by distro's key

2014-05-23 Thread Richard Betham
I now use reprepro (version 4.12.5-1),
instead of apt-move.
So, there is no need to alter apt-move on my account.

However, it would be nice to have some software
to search my pool/ directory tree for any packages which are either:
 not signed for by the distro keys, or
 do not have the digests listed in the Packages or Sources files.

reprepro generates a directory called "lists/", which contains 
"Release", "Packages" and "Sources" files very like the ones 
in /var/lib/apt/lists/ .

Bug#733973: failed to detect /dev/ttyUSB0

2014-01-02 Thread Richard Betham
package: pppconfig
version: 2.3.20


pppconfig (running in tty3, as root) failed to detect my USB mobile 
broadband device.
pppconfig then offered to let me choose the device manually,
'(*) Manual Enter the port by
hand.'
So I selected  
pppconfig replied 
'Enter the port your modem is on.
/dev/ttyS0 is COM1 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS1 is COM2 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS2 is COM3 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS3 is COM4 in DOS.
/dev/ttyS1 is the most common.   Note that this must be typed exactly 
as
shown.  Capitalization is important: ttyS1 is not the same as 
ttys1.'


To obtain the above result,
 I inserted my mobile broadband device into a USB socket and,
as root I gave the command pppconfig, and,
I input the following into pppconfig:-
Create  Create a connection 
Provider name: 'Three7'  
(*) Dynamic Use dynamic DNS  
Authentication:  CHAP   
user name   my user name
password  my password ( which is probably not needed)
Speed:  2048000 
Pulse or tone:  (*) Tone
Phone Number:   '*99#'  
Choose modem config method: 
   pppconfig offered 'Manual  Enter the port by hand'   

It produced the list of options which I have typed above.

I prefer that it correctly detects a mobile broadband modem on the 
port /dev/ttyUSB0.
Failing that I would like pppconfig to include /dev/ttyUSB0 in its 
list of options when the user has to enter it by hand.

{ severity: wishlist
It would also be nice if pppconfig were to suggest the telephone 
number *99#,
if it detects  the USB mobile broadband device.
}

Thank you very much for maintaining pppconfig.
It is usefull, especially just after installing Debian from DVD.
I wish that DVD-1 always contained pppconfig,
so that we can use ppp.

Bug#703015: network un-reachable during install, sources.list file wrong

2013-03-13 Thread Richard Betham
Package: choose-mirror
Version: 2.44

I use a mobile broadband device to connect my computer(s) to the 
Internet.
When I tried installing "Debian wheezy-DI-rc1 i386 1" onto my NEC 
PowerMate, it failed to connect to the Internet.
the Choose Mirror stage failed, it stated that the mirror was not 
working.

After installation, my computer connected to the Internet, but the 
file /etc/apt/sources.list did not contain the right data.

The line about security.debian.org started with a "#" and so does not 
work.
The mirror which I chose, is not mentioned at all.

I would prefer that the line "... security.debian.org ..." work by 
default, and that the mirror which I chose be shown in the 
sources.list file, and also work.

I attach a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list from my NEC PowerMate 
computer.
I can, of course, edit the file myself.
However, some people, not familiar with Debian Linux might not do so.

Please modify the programme choose-mirror, so that it actually 
records, in /etc/apt/sources.list, the mirror which the user 
chooses.
Please also arrange that access to the chosen mirror, and to 
security.debian.org  is enabled by default.
If there is sometimes some reason to not enable it, then please have 
choose-mirror ask the user at install time.

Thank you very much for maintaining choose-mirror.

Bug#698455: fails to display JPEG comment, metadata

2013-01-18 Thread Richard Betham
Package: gwenview
Version: 4:4.4.5-2

I am running Squeeze on an old desktop computer.
I attach a file showing versions of some of the packages installed in 
my desktop computer.

I used gwenview to look at some old pictures which have jpeg,
comments, (some seem to have more them one comment block).
These comments were probably made using wrjpgcom.
I hoped that gwenview would display the pictures and the comments.
It displayed the pictures, but not the comments.

I tried clicking on a picture to display only that one picture.
I clicked on the Information tab on the side-bar,
 it showed 'Meta Information' followed by some Exim data.
 below that it showed 'Description' followed by a large blank space.
 I wished to see the jpeg comment.
I tried using Plugins -> Images -> Metadata -> Edit_Captions...
 this showed the first part of the comment.

I tried using command rdjpgcom to read the comment, and saw the whole 
comment.


I tried it on some more recent pictures annotated by using gwenview, 
version 1.4.2-5+b1 .
gwenview version 4:4.4.5-2; it failed to display the JPEG comments.


How can I configure gwenview so that it will display jpeg comments 
conveniently, and allow me to edit them iff I wish?
I looked in the documentation, but failed to find the answer.

Thank you very much for maintaining gwenview.

I have copied the directory trees /media/cdrom0/pool ,

I have altered /etc/apt/sources.list to:

It gave the same result as before.
It failed to state that these packages were in my machine.

Bug#678990: does not state domain of unauthenticated/unsigned packages

2012-06-25 Thread Richard Betham
On second thoughts:
When a lot of packages are asked for, it would be better if apt were 
to state the domain names (and perhaps the dist names) of the 
unsigned-for packages.
This would serve my purposes adequately, provided that the 
information is available before I decide to proceed with installaion 
of unsigned packages.

Bug#679022: does not state domain of unauthenticated/unsigned packages

2012-06-25 Thread Richard Betham
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.7-1

I am testing debian-testing-i386-DVD-1.iso .

I gave command:
aptitude install ttf-dejavu
.
the response included  "
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-extra{a}
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not 
upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/3530 kB of archives.  After unpacking 6795 kB will be 
used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n?]"

I responded "Y
"
It responded 
"WARNING: untrusted  versions of the following packages will be 
installed!"

It did not tell me where these packages would come from.
I would like to know the domain names of the repositories, and 
possibly the dist names BEFORE I decide whether to proceed with the 
installation.

In command-line mode, perhaps a list on domain names and 'dists' is 
best.
In interactive mode, where aptitude displays a list of unsigned 
packages, perhaps it could show the domain name and 'dist' for each 
package.

If the packages are on my hard disk drive, or on a CD-ROM in my 
computer, then I can make a decision.
If the packages are elsewhere, accessible only over the Internet, 
then I require a digital signature.

I had edited the file /etc/apt/sources.list, its contents are:
debfile:///media/cdrom0/ wheezy contrib main
.

If people update their computers over Wi-Fi links, then the digital 
signature on the Release package is important.

I have filed a bug report about this as a bug in package 'apt',
Bug#678990 .
However, if 'apt' is altered, then perhaps 'aptitude' should also be 
altered.

Thank you very much for maintaining 'aptitude', I find it very 
useful.

Package: apt
Version: 0.9.5.1

I am testing code on the debian-testing-i386-DVD-1.iso,

I gave the command:
apt-get install ttf-dejavu
.
It output some info, including 
"
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-extra

It did not state where it would obtain these packages from.
It asked me whether to proceed.
I answered "y".

It replied
"
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  ttf-dejavu-extra ttf-dejavu
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?"

I would prefer that it tell me where these packages will come from, 
if I were to ask it to proceed.
I would like it to tell me BEFORE I ask it to proceed.

If it will obtain the packages from my hard disk or from a local 
CR-ROM, then I can make a decision.
But if these packages are to come over the Internet, then I require a 
valid signature, before proceeding.

Please alter apt-get to give the user/sys-admin this necessary 
information BEFORE he decides whether to proceed with the install.

This will become more important when it becomes common-place to 
install over Wi-Fi, using Wi-Fi 'hotspots'.

I had edited /etc/apt/sources.list, it contains:

Bug#652929: -n -R ... duplicates filenames of slides of subgalleries

2011-12-21 Thread Richard Betham
Package: llgal
Version: 0.13.16-3
Severity: minor

When llgall runs with command-line options ...-n -R ...
it does not correctly name the "slides" which represent subgalleries.
Where there are several sub-galleries, then the slides pointing to 
them all have the same name (which is 'slide_.html').
Thus some of them are over-written by the last one.

An example of my command line is:
llgal --nc -n --sx 1200 --sy 900 -R --cc --gencfg local

I attach a copy of the 'llgalrc' file which it generated.
I also attach a copy of the file ~/.llgal/llgalrc
I attach a copy of an 'index.html' file produced by llgal.

The index.html file has several 'Open subgallery ...' boxes, but they 
all link to 'slide_.html'.
This 'slide_.html' has a link to the last mentioned subgallery.
It would be better if, each 'slide' which points to a sub-gallery 
were to have a name like that of the sub-gallery which it points to.


A work-around is to refrain from using the '-n' command-line option, 
and alter the llgalrc file.
The change needed to the file is:
replace 'make_slide_filename_from_filename = 1'
with  'make_slide_filename_from_filename = 0'

I suggest that you should ask the author to alter the perl code, so 
that it will generate correct filenames for slides which point to 
galleries.
Thank you very much for maintaining this package.

Bug#296765: superset of packages

2011-06-27 Thread Richard Betham
Perhaps you should use apt-proxy.

If so, then probably you should use it (or several instances of it) 
to maintain several different mirrors.

You do not wish to mix old Knoppix with Squeeze, in case a client 
uses a package which is not compatible with its variant of operating 
system.

There is more information at 
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/apt-proxy .

If you wish to use it, then you had better keep a copy of the source 
code.

Bug#631847: mirror signed by distro's key

2011-06-27 Thread Richard Betham
Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.27-1+b5
Severity: wishlist

I usually enter the following commands:
exec /bin/su - 
aptitude update
apt-get update
apt-move get
apt-move move
apt-move delete
apt-move packages
apt-move sync
aptitude safe-upgrade
exit

I have aptitude version  0.4.11.11-1~lenny1 
and aptversion  0.7.20.2+lenny1
.

I would like the partial mirror made by apt-move to be signed by a 
generally trusted key for example Debian's archive signing key.

When apt-move makes a partial mirror in /mirrors/debian/ it does not 
put a digital signature for it.


A script file could be written, to copy the signatures and other 
files from /var/lib/apt/lists/ to a virtual mirror,  linked to the 
mirror made by apt-move.
Thus a virtual partial mirror, signed for by the distro's key could 
be formed.
Alas some files signed for would be absent form the partial mirror.
___

I use apt-move to maintain a mirror for my private use.
I sometimes copy it to CD-R to make it available to another of my 
computers.
I might even lend it to somebody else.

The amount of software is so large that I cannot get it all (with 
source code) onto one CD-R.
So I will have to use a USB memory stick.

If I use a USB memory stick, then it would be useful to have it 
signed by the archive key used by my supplier (which happens to be 
debian).
Without a signature, it would be difficult to detect an unreleased 
file which got into the memory-stick by mistake.

Is there already a simple way of copying these files into a suitable 
directory tree which can be referred to in the 
file /etc/apt/sources.list in the recipient computer?
___
I have started writing a perl script file to copy the files 
from /var/lib/apt/list/ to achieve this.
___

I attach a copy of my /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Thank you very much for your time and explanation.
Yes I tested it, the first change alone is sufficient.

Perhaps the man page will be amended sometime.
Till then we have this bug report.
If the lines do not have the right endings, people should comment out  
or omit '$dkim->load(*STDIN);'

Bug#597727: link from 'slideshow (frame)' to 'index', keeps both panes.

2010-09-22 Thread Richard Betham
Package: imageindex
Version: 1.1-1

I used imageindex to make some html files around my jpeg files.
It worked, but is not quite right.
I pointed my browser (konqueror) at the index.html file, and clicked 
on the link called 'slideshow view (frames)' , it worked 
satisfactorily so far,  the new view was divided into two panes.
Then I clicked on the link called 'index' , this brought me back to 
the index page, however unfortunately the index page was then shown 
as one of two panes (the other pane still showing several thumbnail 
pictures.)
I then clicked on the link called 'slideshow view (frames)' again, 
the resulting view was divided into three panes, the two on the left 
each showed the thumbnails, the pane on the right showed a picture 
correctly.

When I follow the link called index, I would like then to see the 
index page alone, without the left pane which shows thumb nails.

I suggest that the perl code of imageindex should be corrected.

A work around is, to right click on the pane which shows the index, 
and  select 'Frame',  then select 'Open in This Window' .

I attach a list of some of the packages which I have installed, along 
with their versions.
I attach a copy of my  ~/.imageindexrc file.

I observed the above bug with and without '$do_recurse = 1;'

Bug#596363: Verifier fails to handle lines ending in \0x0a without \0x0d, (line-feed without CR) .

2010-09-10 Thread Richard Betham
Package: libmail-dkim-perl
Version:   0.32-1


When I tried to use libmail-dkim-perl to verify a signature, 
authorised by the domain gmail.com (selector gamma), the result 
obtained was that the Verifier failed to detect any headers.

I was using a perl script file, copied from the manpage and with a 
print instruction appended, I attach a copy called 
DKIM_Verifier_raw.
It printed "none" and " none".
I had hoped for "pass" and " pass".
The file which I used as input was an e-mail saved by kmail.
The command line which I used was:
/usr/bin/perl5 DKIM_Verifier_raw < June\ Update.mbox

After that I edited the copy of the perl script file--
I commented out '$dkim->load(*STDIN);'
I added a line 's/\012$//;' immediately before 's/\015$//;' .
This seems to work.
It printed 'pass' and ' pass' ,
or 'fail' and ' fail (body has been altered)' ,
according to whether I had modified the content of the *.mbox file.
I attach a copy of this script file, it is called 
DKIM-Verifier000.pl .

I suggest that the man page be altered to include a line
's/\012$//;'
immediately before the line
's/\015$//;' .
and that a similar change be made to the effect of 
$dkim->load(*STDIN);
.

I attach a copy of the output obtained by
"dpkg -l '*mail*' |egrep ^[^pu]"
.

Best regards
Richard Betham

Bug#588928: can not disable touchpad tap-for-click function

2010-07-13 Thread Richard Betham
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version:  0.14.7~git20070706-3


I tried to use the touchpad on my laptop to move the cursor from one 
place on the screen to another, by sliding my finger-tip over the 
surface of the touchpad.
The computer behaved as though I had clicked the mouse (or touchpad) 
button which I had not.

The above fault happens often but not always.
When my finger-tip is dry, the error occurs.
I can sometimes work-around the fault by wetting my finger tip.

I do not require the effect of clicking on the button, except when I 
press it.
How can I disable the feature which pretends that I have clicked on 
the mouse (or touchpad) button, when I have not done so?

( My computer (in GUI mode) sometimes behaves as though I failed to 
release a key.)
( Rarely (not in GUI mode), the arrow and home keys fail to work till 
re-boot,  but most keys do work.)
My Computer, Mitac 6020, does not run acpi.
I attach a copy of output from dmesg when running kernel version 
2.6.26-2-686 .

The command synclient -l
produces the response:"
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?"
on stderr.
the same command give as root produces the same response.
I tried adding :"
SHMConfig   on"
immediately after:'
Section "InputDevice"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf' .
The result was that xorg did not start when the computer rebooted, 
kdm started (according to ps) but I could not see the display on 
tty7.
-
I attach a copy of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf which I have.

I am using:
xorg 1:7.3+18
kdm 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6+lenny1
kwin 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6+lenny1
kmail   4:3.5.9-5

kernel my own special 2.6.26-21+cs1 ,
but the fault also occurs 
with kernel 2.6.26-2-686 

libc62.7-18lenny4

The hardware is:
laptop:  Mitac 6020with  touchpad.

The output of lspci is:"

Bug#509441: computer locks up during down-load

2008-12-22 Thread Richard Betham
Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4rel-8

Computer fails to respond to mouse, keyboard, and even to
 when attempting to download a web page e.g.
http://www.uk.debian.org/ .

I am trying to get Etch to run in an old computer, which has about 361
Mega-bytes of SDRAM.

It uses an external modem to dial into an ISP.
It uses a simple shel script which calls pon, I attach a copy of the
shell script, and a copy of the called file.

The bugs appears when that ISP is Entanet using dial in number 0845
6040104.
It seem to dial in successfully,
I attach a copy of the ppp dialogue.
However, then I tried to use Epiphany to download a web page e.g.
http://www.uk.debian.org/ .
The system downloaded some of the page, and displayed as much as would
fit in the window.
The computer then did not respond to any of the controls -- keyboard,
mouse.
It just froze, or locked-up.
Eventually the "OH" light on the modem went out, I took this as my cue
to push the power switch, and hold it in, till it switched off the
power.

I tried several times with variations.
first using Iceweasel;
then Iceweasel and squid;
then wget.
Iceweasel, with or without squid, caused the computer to lock up.
Wget sometimes caused it to lock up.

Downloading a smaller webpage instead usually worked, except that the
pictures did not get displayed.


Workaround;
I tried using various different ISPs,  system worked with all of these
others.

Knoppix version 5.1.1 live CD, running in the same hardware works, even
on the Entanet dial up line, but slowly.

versions;
I attach a list of versions of some of the packages in my system.
It is Etch as installed plus a few Etch packages which were not
installed as default.
These were all updated by aptitude update, and then aptitude upgrade on
20 December 2008.

I attach output from reportbug, which seems to contain at least one
error (from address).

Thank you very much for providing ppp.

Best regards

Richard Betham

Bug#327867: apt-move sync downloads *.tar.gz which I already have on CD-ROM

2006-05-02 Thread Richard Betham
Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.24-1.1

I run debian Sarge, but with some packages upgraded to Etch .
The reason for this upgrade to Etch is so that apt-move sync will download the 
source code files.

I attach files of output from the dpkg -l  command to show what I have 
installed.

As root I gave the following commands:
# aptitude update
# aptitude upgrade
# apt-get update
# apt-move get 
# apt-move move
# apt-move packages
# apt-move sync

I want it to down load and mirror the source code of tha packages which I have 
installed, EXCEPT FOR what I already have on CD-ROM and elsewhere.
I hoped that it would download the source code of the latest versions of what 
I have installed, EXCEPT FOR what I already have on CD-ROM and elsewhere.

What it does is begins to download files including the ones which I already 
have.
It takes ages to do it because it tries to download all the relevant *.tar.gz 
files.  I use ppp dial-up connection.
I do not want it to download the *.orig.tar.gz files, because I already have 
them on CD-ROM.
I would like my mirror to hold only the update code, so that it will all fit 
onto one CD-ROM.

I attach copies of the configuration files:
/etc/apt/sources.list
/etc/apt-mov.conf

Please advise how I can download the relevant *.dsc and *.diff.gz files, 
without also downloading the *.orig.tar.gz .

Thank you for the update to apt-move 4.2.24-1.1 , it seems to download the 
latest code now.

Regards
Richard Betham

Bug#357127: kdm greeter does not show list of users

2006-03-15 Thread Richard Betham
Package: kdm
Version: 3.3.2-1sarge1
Severity: minor

The Greeter of kdm should show a list of users who may log in.
It did not do so for me,  I attach a copy of the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as 
it was. (It is now called kdmrc.bu .)

The sub-window which should have shown user names (and possibly some pictures) 
was empty,  and narrow.

I tried using
$  man kdm
but that did not work.
I tried installing doc-linux-html  (version 2005.04-1),  that did not help 
either.

So I changed two lines in the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as folllows:
change from:
SelectedUsers=
ShowUsers=NotHidden

to :
SelectedUsers=rb,guest
ShowUsers=Selected
.
This works alright,  but now I have to alter the file kdmrc whenever I add a 
new user.

Best regards

Bug#327867: apt-move sync does not get source files

2005-09-30 Thread Richard Betham
Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.23

I have found a sort of a solution.
Instead of using 
apt-move sync
I can use
apt-move listbin repo | egrep -v All | apt-move mirrorsrc  ;
this puts the .dsc , .dif.gz , and .orig.tar.gz files 
into   /mirrors/debian/.apt-move/archive/   .

However this also downloads the *.orig.tar.gz files,
so I used  to stop it, so that I avoid running up a large phone bill,
and avoid overloading the  security.debian.org server.

Please will somebody remove the *.orig.tar.gz files from security.debian.org ,
I already have them on CD , and those who have not can get them from 
ftp.uk.debian.org. and elsewhere.

What I really  want is that   "apt-move sync"will work as I think that it 
should,  so that I may let somebody else copy my copy of the code.

Best Regards
Richard Betham

Bug#327867: apt-move sync does not get source files

2005-09-12 Thread Richard Betham
Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.23

Since my previous e-mail I checked dependencies.
According to the Packages file apt-move depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3,
however that does not seem to be installed in my computer.  I do not know how 
this happened.
I will try installing it to see whether it works.

I attach a file produced by dpkg -l '*apt*' ,
and another produced by dpkg -l '*pkg*'

Bug#327867: apt-move sync does not get source files

2005-09-12 Thread Richard Betham
Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.23

I can not get apt-move sync to download the source files of the updates.
It accesses the CD-ROM , it does not download much over the ppp link.
Eventually the ppp link hangs up because I configured it to hang up after 10 
minutes of idle.

I have sarge 3.1r0a .
I have downloaded updates from http://security.debian.org/ .
I have used apt-move to copy the binary files to /mirrors/debian/... .
I wish to have copies of the corresponding source code there as well, prior to 
copying it all to CD-R.

Please advise how I can do it.

I had trouble with the Woody equivalent, but found a work-around (use apt-get 
update ; dselect first).

I attach a file produced by script, and a file produced by "dpkg -l 'apt*' ".
I attach copies of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt-move.conf .

Thank you very much for providing Debian Linux.

Comments/Problems:

I had recently installed Woody from CDs, therefore I had some experience, 
which helped a lot.  The X server, WWWoffle, and, printer file formats all 
caused me great trouble when installing woody.  But with Sarge I had the 
benefit of experience.

My first mistake with sarge was to try to upgrade from Woody by download.
After I had downloaded aptitude and perl, I discovered that it was necessary 
to update all the installed packages except for one.  It would cost more to 
do that than have the CDs mailed to me.  So I had the CDs mailed to me.

The installer tried to set-up and use e-mail before I was ready.
I was installing from CD, so had not connected my Sarge installation to the 
network.

Getting the X server to work caused difficulty.  It failed to tell me why it 
would not work.  So (as a non-prividged user) I gave the command startx, this 
also failed, but at least it told me that there was a fault relating to the 
mouse.
My prior experience with RedHat was my clue to try startx.
My prior experience with Woody helped me to (as root) select /dev/psaux for 
the mouse.  This computer does not have a mouse, it has alittle gren thing 
amongs the keys, and two switches to click with.

The Error message obtained by starting kdm, with incorrect mouse settings, 
resulted in a error message which "strongly recommended" use of reportbug.  
So I tried using reportbug, it did not seem to do anything.  Perhaps I should 
remind you that I did not have e-mail working at that point on this computer.  
I have e-mail still on my old Redhat setup on an old computer. I had not set 
up ppp.  I do not know whether you will ever get any output from that 
bugreport.


I will probably enjoy using Debian.  However I will not recommend it to any 
who has no experience of Linux.
