Re: Unidentified subject!
Mouais mais ça pose quand même pas mal de problèmes. Par exemple si on prend iceweasel qui lors du début du freeze était en version 10 ESR. Vous me direz c'est une version ESR donc support à long terme. Oui sauf que le support des ESR est de 1 an et qu'il s'est terminé en février je crois. L'ESR actuelle est la 17. Debian stable va donc sortir avec une version d'iceweasel dépassée et non supportée par les dév mozilla. Vu les problèmes réguliers de sécurité qu'il y a avec les navigateurs je me pose des questions sur la pertinence du modèle Debian. Il est pertinent quand le freeze ne dure pas trop longtemps mais quand il dure plus d'un an ...

Re: choosing a web browser
Zenaan Harkness schreef: I need a sane webbrowser. Firstly, I'm not interested in rolling releases. In my experience, Firefox 3.6 was the pinnacle in browsers, in the days when Epiphany was also a fine option. Things appear to have gone downhill bigtime since then, as far as I can tell. Seeking something that is 100% libre, and supported in Debian Wheezy, to install and admin/maintain for Debian deployments which I do occasionally for friends and for a human rights association that I volunteer at (upmart.org). I have been unable to deploy anything for six months (besides time constraints, I am struggling with finding a modern desktop, voip client etc - but I don't want to hijack my own thread here...) What I've tried: * Iceweasel 10 LTS used for 6 months - I have been running wheezy/testing for 6 months, and about two weeks ago switched to sid/unstable - I can put up with various problems for an extended period of time, but I wish to reach deployability for others not technically versed as I am. Problems: every now and then, firefox causes a core or two to hit 100% for a couple seconds, causing the fan to spin up (and this, with no pages loading, animations stopped, no java, no javascript etc, only scrolling up and down a single tab/page - eg gmail static (my rural link too slow for javascript)) - this looks like a GC (garbage collection) type artifact, and is so obtrusive that I've decided it's a deal breaker. The following browsers I've been trying over the last day: * Midori (using now) Not showing the tabs Private browsing option doesn't remember settings (at least, I've tested proxy setting); tabs do not show at all - I've tried each binary Preferences setting for always display tabs, then restarting midori, but no joy. btw, midori -p does show it's tabs. Thankfully, CTRL-PgUp/PgDown does cycle amongst tabs, but not seeing them is a deal breaker. * Netsurf Has wacko keybindings: CTRL-PgUp/Down does not change tabs; CTRL-RightArrow/LeftArrow does change tabs (so when editing in a field eg writing an email, I cannot jump a word at a time, nor select a word at a time!); tab key does not include going from address bar to search bar/field; keyboard scrolling of page does not work well/ sometimes I can't seem to keyboard scroll at all; I had difficulty copying an email address off a page (no right click menu option for this). This keyboard firetruckery is a deal breaker. * Epiphany Epiphany. How I loved epiphany back in the days of Gnome 2 and Firefox 3.5, when I took a walk on the wild side of Ubuntu, and settled in on Ubuntu 8.04. Firefox 3.6 managed to provide enough reasons use it predominantly. Back to the present: Epiphany is not showing its toolbar icons; it has a whole menu bar with a single Web menu. There's a different menu behind one of the faceless icons on the icon bar. * Luakit I installed this, started it up twice, and would love to learn it (I use vim for most of my editing). Unfortunately, this browser demands learning its ways, so it is not suitable for general deployment. As technically gluttonous as I'd like to be in satisfying my own power-user needs, there are other higher priorities in my life - facilitating community actions and community helpers/ volunteers, to do their good work in a relatively secure environment. This means I must be eating the dog food I deploy. For me to get to deployment, in this so modern era of amazing omg integrated unified cross-device ponies and So, are you ready for BYOD? desktops ... well, it hasn't been possible for me in the last year. This is incredibly frustrating; battling default samba configurations is one thing, but I can't even find a deployable browser, consistent XP-style UI experience etc. Sorry, sorry, I'm ranting again! I promise I'll keep it to browsers. There are plenty of other threads we _could_ create.

Debian-goodies package error (was: RE: How often to reboot a production Web server?)
Hi, Today I've run `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` to get security fixes. It updated libc6 and some other essential packages. Should I reboot my production Web server? If yes, how often? If you install the debian-goodies package, you can run checkrestart to see what programs are still holding open old libraries - though there are some false positives. You can then decide whether you just need to restart a particular service (checkrestart will tell you what, in most cases), or whether you need to reboot. Ok, so I decided to install the Debian-goodies on my machine to test that checkrestart command but it broke, so according to the Debian policy I get to keep both pieces. ;-) Any way to fix the pieces? -quote--- Get:1 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main libssh2-1 i386 1.2.6-1 [77.2 kB] Get:2 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main libcurl3 i386 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze2 [281 kB] Get:3 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main curl i386 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze2 [227 kB] Get:4 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main dctrl-tools i386 2.14.5 [110 kB] Get:5 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main debian-goodies all 0.53 [49.3 kB] Fetched 746 kB in 1s (571 kB/s) Selecting previously deselected package libssh2-1.

I've never tried it but I think that you can even use kickseed with Debian's d-i. I wasn't aware of it until it cropped up in the LP bug report. It appears to be an alternative to using preconfiguration files with d-i. When Ubuntu started going after RHEL customers, the latter must've said that they wanted to stick to kickstart so Ubuntu developed a way to preseed d-i with kickstart files to a certain extent. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Refining the question - was [Re: Wanted: an internet free minimal Debian install]
Thank you for the replies received. They made clear that I had not adequately separated background information, physical constraints, preferences, and ideas on what solution should look like [for want of better term - the aesthetics of the solution]. I will take my cue from Brian's reply which began I'll respond to what is in the subject line. The strongest physically imposed constraint - no networking capability for target machine. This has three sub-categories. Some machines have no networking hardware installed. In other cases no network infrastructure exists. Connectivity on my home machines is via a 56k modem. The next next issue is CPU and memory. My home machines are GHz dual core with GBytes of ram etc. However there are donated machines at church that I wish to migrate from OSes as old as Win95. I know I'll have to deal with 486 machines. There may be some 386 machines (dealing with those on a case by case basis would be feasible). How to define minimal install? ;/ There's a motivational component. My first exposure to Linux was thru Ubuntu and Debian Live CD's. Using them or installing from them provided a cluttered system with lots of programs which I would never use and CRITICAL software not available [neither could connect to internet via dial-up so relevant software being in repository was irrelevant]. I investigated several Live CD's promoted as being small and friendly. They were that and demonstrated that what I wanted was feasible but they lacked support and applications I wanted. But they got me asking some of the right questions. There is the philosophical component. Smaller tends to be better. Don't install what will not be used. At one point it was suggested that I just remove undesired applications. I noticed that removing did not reproduce never installed. Seems a guarantee of getting bit later. Some the replies have prompted me to reinvestigate starting from the netinst. It may be much more feasible than I though when it was first suggested months ago. I've since done 15-20 installs on my for experimentation only machine.

There may be some 386 machines (dealing with those on a case by case basis would be feasible). You might want to look into LTSP. You configure a server (could be a 5-year-old desktop machine) and diskless thin clients (could be something as old as a 486) boot from that server. Networking is required, but internet is not. (Internet access may be required during initial configuration fo the server). The thin clients (old computers) run an X server and not much else. They display applications that are being processed on the server. I've used it for years and it works pretty well for everything except watching videos, which tends to saturate the network.

Typically desktop environment and standard system will be checked automatically. You can uncheck both of them. There is a smaller installation CD called the businesscard CD.

In the last couple years, though, I've had complaints about certain features of websites not working properly with the outdated Iceweasel. Gmail and weather.com were two of the offending websites.

Sure you can unselect any of those but the resulting system is still quite large. If people are used to that then they never think that other systems might be different.

I think most of us using the netinst image would go ahead and set up the network sources.list with basic values if nothing else and then never see any errors from the installer.

I did not want this, since I'm using a custom kernel, and I'm not sure the stock kernel will even work. I imagine you had one of these installed: linux-image-686 linux-image-2.6-686 linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem Those are meta packages that will rotate forward and depend upon the current package such as linux-image-2.6.32-5-686_2.6.32-48squeeze1. That is how the rest of us have automated system upgrades. Worse, the linux-image package did not install properly, with some part of the post-install script returning errors (zz-update-grub). The rest of the dist-upgrade appeared to succeed, but the linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 package is in a half-installed state. The zz-update-grub script is part of the grub-pc package. $ dlocate /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub grub-pc: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub I don't know if you are using grub for booting but IIRC those files are only needed to set up and install grub. IIRC removing those will not uninstall grub. Meaning that you can purge the grub packages that are causing you problem and that should allow you to to purge the linux-image packages that you don't want. Then afterward you can re-install anything that you may have temporarly uninstalled. I tried removing the offending package (apt-get remove) but got the same error from the post-remove script. Using apt-get remove will call dpkg --remove. And dpkg --purge would be just the same for running the prerm scripts. You will need to avoid the errors from the prerm family of scripts in order to be able to cleanly remove these. Normally package scripts are plainly available at in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGE.* location. If it is shell script we can just hack edit the prerm and put in an 'exit 0' to avoid the error and then remove it. But in this case the script is a perl script. (Still could hack it. It is going away.) You can browse the script this way: less /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-5-686.prerm That script is going away when you remove the package. So hacking it to avoid the error seems like the best solution. It is simply calling all of the script parts at /etc/kernel/prerm.d/* and it is the /etc/kernel/prerm.d/zz-update-grub script that is giving you problem. How can I fix this? I want the linux-image package to go away, and also to make sure 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will not try to install it in the future. I would hack the /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-5-686.prerm perl script with exit(0); at the top right after the #!/usr/bin/perl line. Or I would remove grub-pc to remove the zz-update-grub script. Probably hacking the first is most direct. It all depends. Then to make sure it doesn't come back make sure you do not have any of these installed: linux-image-686 linux-image-2.6-686 linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem And for amd64 architecture users (making this posting useful for other architectures too) it would be: linux-image-amd64 linux-image-2.6-amd64 But of course your apt-get remove is going to remove it for you. You can see that in this output that you showed: The following packages will be REMOVED: linux-image-2.6-686 linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 So with that you will have what you want already.

More to the point, it can run a script which can process the mail before passing it on. This one, for example: #!/bin/bash MID=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%Snoccsple...@example.com) TO=$(formail -zxTo:) if [ $TO = something which identifies debian-user ] ; then formail -I Message-ID: ${MID} fi There we are! A Message-ID generator which can be used with MUAs other than Mutti to mark list mails. Thank you very much for the nudge. Question: Doesn't doing that mess things up for others, should you reply to said message? The In-Reply-To: field when you send your reply is going to now reference the new Message-ID you just put in, and for those who use readers with threading, won't that break the thread (since they won't have any messages which are using your new locally-stored Message-ID)? --Dave signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: cannot uninstall linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 (SOLVED)

Worse, the linux-image package did not install properly, with some part of the post-install script returning errors (zz-update-grub). The rest of the dist-upgrade appeared to succeed, but the linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 package is in a half-installed state. I tried removing the offending package (apt-get remove) but got the same error from the post-remove script. snip what happens if you 'dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.32-5-686' Same as running 'apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-5-686'. The problem was in the postrm script, which as Bob Proulx points out, gets run by 'dpkg --remove', which is called by either of the above. Bob Proulx b...@proulx.com writes: ... You can browse the script this way: less /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-5-686.prerm That script is going away when you remove the package. So hacking it to avoid the error seems like the best solution. It is simply calling all of the script parts at /etc/kernel/prerm.d/* and it is the /etc/kernel/prerm.d/zz-update-grub script that is giving you problem. snip I would hack the /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-5-686.prerm perl script with exit(0); at the top right after the #!/usr/bin/perl line. Or I would remove grub-pc to remove the zz-update-grub script. Probably hacking the first is most direct. It all depends. It was the '.postrm' script, not '.prerm'. That script does not go away with 'apt-get remove', but it does with 'apt-get purge' (or 'dpkg -P'). In any case, I took Bob's suggestion to hobble the script with an exit statement near the beginning, and that did the trick! I was able to purge the package, and apt-get now reports the system up to date. I also checked that no linux-image package is installed, so presumably this won't happen again. But next time I'll also scrutinize the proposed actions more closely to be sure.
