Bonjour à tous les utilisateurs et développeurs de Debian :

Ma question est précisement serait-il à votre avis intéressant de découper la

en plusieurs projets (core, server, desktop...) qui pourrait avoir des cycle de 
vie
différents ? ou bien de limiter l'évolution de la stable en rentrant en 
freezing tous les
6 mois / 1 an après la release?

Je pense que cela aurait un impact positif sur les temps de release (par 
exemple conserver
les mêmes règles pour core et server (0 bugs RC) et les assouplir pour les 
environements
graphiques)...


Hum, si j'ai choisi Debian (et sa version stable c'est-à-dire Squeeze) pour mon 
ordinateur fixe, même dans le cadre de l'utilisation bureautique (entre autres...), ce n'est pas 
par hasard ! Par conséquent, je suis plutôt pour le maintien (de manière aussi rigoureuse que 
possible) de la règle qui veut qu'une nouvelle stable ne sera délivrée une fois qu'elle sera bien 
testée, debuggée et sécurisée (voir 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-ftparchives.fr.html#s-frozen ) dans son intégralité 
et pas seulement les paquets pour les serveurs. :-|


Salut
La stable qui stagne pendant 2 ans pose des problèmes.
Exemples vécus (liste non exhaustive)
- quand elle ne suit pas l'évolution du matériel
- quand certains paquets sont complètement dépassés par des versions 
plus performantes.
- quant certains bugs ne sont pas corrigés alors qu'ils le sont dans les 
dernières versions des logiciels.
- dimension souvent ignorée: on peut facilement attendre 2 ans quand 
l'on est âgé de 25 ou 30 ans. A 60 ans, on tique fortement.  Et à  80 
ans, cela n'a certainement plus de sens..

Re: syslog priority

2013-03-10 Thread Jean-Michel OLTRA

Bonjour,


Le dimanche 10 mars 2013, zul...@free.fr a écrit...


 J'ai syslog qui me remplit trés rapidement /var/log/syslog.

 Je voudrai qu'il ne me loggue que ce qui est important.

 D'aprés Google, il faut modifier /etc/syslog.conf 
 Ben j'ai pas ce fichier ...

 Et dans les fichiers de conf de rsyslog je ne vois pas ou determiner les 
 niveaux d'importance des logs (crtiques, importants, debugs ...).

Dans /etc/rsyslog.conf, tu as un ligne avec un *.* qui logue dans
/var/log/syslog. Ça met tout dedans !

Il te faudrait modifier ça (utilisation de la priorité nommée, ou en
utilisant son contraire avec !).

Tu peux également mettre ce tes paramétrages perso dans le dossier
inclus par rsyslog.conf (ils sont inclus avant lecture du reste du
fichier, comme tu peux le voir dans /etc/rsyslog.conf).

Tu peux également utiliser les filtres de rsyslog pour mettre tout ou
partie de ce qui est logé à la poubelle (avec le ~), si tu es capable de
déterminer avec précision les logs inutiles sur une certaine
application.

La page de man de rsyslog.conf en dit pas mal, et, de mémoire, le manuel
en ligne de rsyslog n'est pas mal non plus, avec un certain nombre
d'exemples.

Bonjour à tous les utilisateurs et développeurs de Debian :

Dans son message du 10/03/13 à 10:47, Maderios a écrit :
 La stable qui stagne pendant 2 ans pose des problèmes.
 Exemples vécus (liste non exhaustive)
 - quand elle ne suit pas l'évolution du matériel
 - quand certains paquets sont complètement dépassés par des versions

A mon avis, c'est, avant tout, un choix entre les versions stable, testing, 
unstable voire experimental pour les plus aventureux (euh très peu pour moi 
:-( ou alors, peut-être un jour, dans le cadre d'un machine virtuelle avec 
VirtualBox).

Comme cela est expliqué dans la FAQ Debian GNU/Linux (voir la page 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-choosing.fr.html#s3.1 ), 
concernant les qualités et les défauts de chaque version, on pourrait 
schématiser de la façon suivante (du moins c'est ainsi que je comprends) :

Stable  Testing  Unstable  Experimental
Plus sûre  Moins sûre
Moins déboguée  Plus déboguée
Plus ancienne  Plus récente (a)
Moins compatible  Plus compatible (b)

Et on pourrait énumérer éventuellement d'autres qualités ou défauts. ;-)

(a) Je parle des logiciels que peut proposer une telle version.
(b) Ici, il s'agit des composants internes (processeur, mémoire de masse, carte 
graphique,...) ou des périphériques externes (écran, imprimante, scanner,...) 
pris en charge par une telle version (de façon plus ou moins... optimisée mais 
cela est un autre débat).

A partir de là, chacun fera son choix en fonction de ses besoins et des ses 
souhaits et, surtout, en connaissance de cause.

Pour le reste et pour en revenir au débat initial, je continue à penser tout à 
fait pertinent le choix de Debian qui consiste (en gros) :
- (1) à gérer les 4 (ou même 5 si on ajoute oldstable) versions de manière 
différenciée en fonction de leurs objectifs,
- (2) à décider si un paquet (selon sa propre version) peut entrer dans une 
version (autre que Stable) en fonction de la conformité de ses exigences que 
notre distribution préférée (dont certains jugeront un rien perfectionniste) 
s'est elle-même fixée et
- (3) à juger si Testing (et, avec elle, les milliers de paquets ce qui 
démontre, entre autres, toute la difficulté de la tâche) peut devenir, à un 
moment donné, la nouvelle Stable si elle remplit les critères de qualités qui 
convient à cette version... quitte à attendre plus de 6 mois (ou même plus de 2 
ans ;-) ).

 - quant certains bugs ne sont pas corrigés alors qu'ils le sont dans les 
 dernières versions des logiciels.

Euh, je ne sais pas trop de quels bugs tu veux parler (même si je ne conteste 
pas leur existence vu que j'intègre les mises à jour de sécurité pour ma Stable 
tous les lundis matin quand il y en a) mais, là encore, les bugs contenus dans 
Experimental, Unstable ou Testing (du moins avant sa période de gel et encore 
c'est à vérifier) sont, probablement, plus nombreux et moins anodins que ceux 
de Stable. :-|

 - dimension souvent ignorée: on peut facilement attendre 2 ans quand 
 l'on est âgé de 25 ou 30 ans. A 60 ans, on tique fortement. Et à 80 
 ans, cela n'a certainement plus de sens..

Quel que soit l'âge qu'on a, la patience est une des plus belles vertues, même 
pour les mortels comme nous... :-D

Stéphane.

Salut
Je préfère une debian sectionnée et c'est ce que j'essaie d'appliquer 
depuis longtemps.
- une base fiable au maximum  pour le kernel, le réseau, tout ce qui 
concerne la stabilité  du système lui-même, l'affichage
- des appli plus avancées, si nécessaire venant de sid ou compilées 
depuis les sources, appli ne mettant pas en cause la sécurité ou la 
stabilité
- ma politique: pas de centralisation ni de tout en un,  donc exit les 
bureaux gnome, kde, xfce et tous les trucs qui prétendent simplifier la 
vie. Je préfère utiliser des éléments indépendants, paramétrables 
individuellement, c'est plus sûr.
Avantage de la biodiversité : quand un maillon grippe, il est 
remplaçable facilement et seul un maillon est concerné.
- démarche rencontrant évidemment des limites mais applicable sans 
ennuis majeurs.

Mais, de façon plus globale et sur une plus longue période, je ne pense pas que 
Unstable et même Testing peuvent rivaliser Stable au niveau de la stabilité ou 
de la sécurité.

Et je ne pense pas que, pour leur crédibilité, les Développeurs (et autres 
Responsables) Debian aient la naïveté (et encore moins l'inconscience) de 
recommander Stable à tous ceux (administrateurs de serveur ou propriétaire d'un 
ordinateur personnel) qui privilègient les critères (que je viens de citer dans

y a un quelconque doute concernant les qualités normalement attribués à Stable

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: Méthode de stabilisation des release Debian en question...

2013-03-10 Thread stephane . gargoly
Bonjour à tous les utilisateurs et développeurs de Debian :

Dans son message du 10/03/13 à 18:56, Maderios a écrit :
 Je préfère une debian sectionnée et c'est ce que j'essaie d'appliquer 
 depuis longtemps.
 - une base fiable au maximum pour le kernel, le réseau, tout ce qui 
 concerne la stabilité du système lui-même, l'affichage
 - des appli plus avancées, si nécessaire venant de sid ou compilées 
 depuis les sources, appli ne mettant pas en cause la sécurité ou la 
 stabilité

Autrement dit du apt-pinning ! Après tout pourquoi pas ? :-)

Mais alors attention aux risques et/ou complications surtout au niveau des 
dépendances entre les paquets (qu'on aurait sélectionné) et en cas de mise à 
jour éventuel de des paquets (surtout venant de Sid)...

De plus, il va falloir jouer finement avec les fichiers de configuration 
sources.list et preferences (dans /etc/apt/) si on ne veut pas se retrouver, en 
totalité ou presque, en Unstable en fin de compte.

Quand à la compilation des sources, il est toujours possible de le faire 
(d'ailleurs la FAQ Debian GNU/Linux l'explique les modalités dans 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkg_basics.fr.html#s-sourcebuild
 ) mais ce ne sera pas forcément plus trivial et moins chronophage...

Dans le 1er cas comme dans l'autre, si on a quelques dizaines de paquets, c'est 
plutôt jouable. Mais si on a plus de 1300 paquets (pour environ 2,7 Go 
concernant mon système GNU/Linux que je considère comme minimaliste même avec 
KDE et OpenOffice), et bien bon courage...

Cordialement et à bientôt,

Stéphane.

El ancho de banda no se puede sumar al de otro proveedor, tampoco si 
fuese el mismo proveedor pero con distintos enlaces (fibras), pero si es 
fiable lo que comentas de trabajar en un mismo dispositivo con los 2

Bajar volumen hasta cierto nivel SOX, FADE IN, FADE OUT

digan después que no lo hago).

He comenzado a usar este maravilloso sof... ya encontre mucha
documentacion sobre hacer los FADE IN, FADE OUT y tambien como
modificar la ganancia de un audio. Pero en ninguno he encontrado como
hacer para que haga un FADE OUT hasta cierta cantidad.

Es decir el FADE OUT, realiza una rampa de volumen del 100% hasta
llegar al 0% y yo quiero que al hacer ese mismo efecto realice la
rampa de 100% hasta el 20%.

¿Alguno tiene alguna idea o mas experiencia que yo?.

 fglrx percebi uma coisa.

 O resultado do glxgears do driver do xorg apresenta resultados em FPS
 superiores ao driver da própria fabricante, porém descobri algo
 interessante: O Driver da fabricante, apesar de perder em performance, é a
 mais certa para renderizar video, pois ela consegue renderizar os pixel
 shaders 2.0, etc etc etc.e o driver da radeon que vem com o xorg nao.


 Concluido, é isso mesmo o resultado mano, FPS baixo mais com boa
 reproducao dos Efeitos suportados pela placa, com o driver do xorg FPS
 elevado mas pessima reproducao dos Efeitos.

 o Suporte ao Linux ainda está longe de ser uma realidade na Radeon, ao
 contrário da NVidia, que tem suporte muito melhor, inclusive meu proximo

 Olá pessoal,

 Estou migrando para o Wheezy apenas com o X server + Fluxbox, mas estou
 tendo
 problemas com o video, que está muito lento. Alguem pode me ajudar?

 Minha placa é uma ATI Radeon HD 4650M:

 $ lspci | grep VGA
 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
 M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650]

 A primeira coisa que fiz foi instalar o pacote 'mesa-utils' e fazer um
 teste
 de desempenho:

 $ glxinfo | grep render
 direct rendering: Yes
 OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x209)
 GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_AMD_draw_buffers_blend,

 $ glxgears
 4695 frames in 5.0 seconds = 938.896 FPS
 4970 frames in 5.0 seconds = 993.923 FPS
 4921 frames in 5.0 seconds = 984.096 FPS
 5009 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1001.777 FP

 Pesquisando na Debian Wiki[1] entendi que o driver pro Wheezy está
 instável.
 Sendo assim instalei o pacote 'firmware-linux-nonfree', e até teve uma
 pequena
 melhora, porem achei muito esquisito o resultado do teste:

 $ glxinfo | grep render
 direct rendering: Yes
 OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV730
 GL_EXT_vertex_array_bgra, GL_NV_conditional_render,

 $ glxgears
 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.998 FPS
 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.808 FPS
 301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.008 FPS
 301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.007 FPS

 Ou seja, os FPS's cairam ao inves de aumentarem!
 No Squeeze, eu instalei o driver non-free 'fglrx-driver' conforme a
 wiki[2] e
 o desempenho está muito bom perto do Wheezy:

 $ glxinfo | grep render
 direct rendering: Yes
 OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650
 GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_NV_copy_depth_to_color,

 $ glxgears
 35898 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7179.479 FPS
 36590 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7317.944 FPS
 36549 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7309.708 FPS

 Espero que essas informações sejam uteis para resolver o caso.
 Qualquer coisa é só solicitar que eu posto na próxima mensagem.

Re: choosing a web browser

2013-03-10 Thread steef

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

Debian-goodies package error (was: RE: How often to reboot a production Web server?)

2013-03-10 Thread Bonno Bloksma
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?

 The first post at

 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1601750

 is your situation. The second post gives a solution which is discussed
 further at

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kickseed/+bug/662931

 The downside is it's for a different distribution. But you never know.

 When it comes to d-i and preseed, Debian and Ubuntu are the same,
 except for the version names and the installation of a basic system
 (Debian's is d-i tasksel/first multiselect system and Ubuntu's is
 d-i tasksel/first multiselect standard).

 I was being cautious :) and at the time hadn't looked at what the
 preseed recommendations for Mirror settings are at

 http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/example-preseed.txt

 Now I have I see
 d-i mirror/country string manual
 is mentioned.

Ubuntu's tweaked d-i here and there (two things that I remember
off-hand is that you have to press F6 to select the expert install and
you're asked whether you want to install grub to all members of an
array when you use mdraid) but it's pretty much the same d-i that
Debian uses.

I have to correct some nonsense above... I interverted Debian and
Ubuntu's d-i tasksel  Debian's basic task is standard and
Ubuntu's is server (not system!). Ubuntu also has standard and
minimal but I've never checked how much smaller than server they
are. Friday night brain-tiredness. Sorry!


 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.

 yes, those two lines did the magic! Thanks.
 It started reading from the local server but...now, it's stopping next at
 this error:

 No root file system is defined.

 Please correct this from the partitioning menu.

 I googled around and tried replacing 'lvm' with regular:

 #d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
 d-i partman-auto/method string regular

 (and commenting out the related lvm lines)

 and tried replacing 'home' with 'atomic' as well:

 #d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select home
 d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic

 no luck so far. will look into the details in the morning.

I thought that it might be a squeeze v/s wheezy problem so I
downloaded a squeeze netinst and ran your lvm preseed against it. The
VM installed and booted fine.

As a start and without diagnosing further, I'd boot from an install CD
in rescue mode and re-create the initramfs either with
update-initramfs -u -k ... or update-initramfs -d -k ... ;
update-initramfs -c -k 

You might want to run update-grub after that, for good measure; or
even grub-install ... ; update-grub.

Refining the question - was [Re: Wanted: an internet free minimal Debian install]

2013-03-10 Thread Richard Owlett
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. I 
purposely do some things the hard way as my intention is 
to learn the guts of Linux.

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.

You can definitely use the netinst cd to get a minimal system.  Just
uncheck all the software groups when it gives you an option to do so.
Typically desktop environment and standard system will be checked

There is a smaller installation CD called the businesscard CD.  I'm not
sure if it contains everything you need for a minimal system, or if it
requires downloading packages from the internet.

 That sounds very strange - is this with Gnome 3 ?

 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.
 
I used to keep my users on Debian Stable's version of Iceweasel.  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.  Updating to the latest
Iceweasel found at mozilla.debian.net fixed this.  

I guess what I'm saying is that finding a stable version of a web
browser and keeping your users on that version is not necessarily the
best way for you to avoid support calls.  I've had fewer complaints now
that I have Iceweasel automatically update to the newest available
version.

cannot uninstall linux-image-2.6.32-5-686

2013-03-10 Thread David Zelinsky
I just did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' from the lasted squeeze update, and
failed to notice it had decided to install a stock kernel image:
linux-image-2.6.32-5-686_2.6.32-48squeeze1.  I did not want this, since
I'm using a custom kernel, and I'm not sure the stock kernel will even
work.  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.

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.

Here's relevant part of the output from apt-get dist-upgrade:

  It is 168M and much smaller than the full CD#1.  I just did an install
  test using it in Expert mode and was able to verify that it is indeed
  possible to use the smaller netinst image on a system without a
  network.  Using Expert mode and manual selections it was possible to
  install and avoid seeing any errors.
 
 That is  how I always install, I never install more packages than what
 is on the netinst cd till after a reboot I guess I figured everyone knew.

I think that ex-pats coming from other distros don't realize this
because most other distros, I'm looking at you RH, don't really give
the option to only install a subset.  The installer there is really
designed to give you very large chunks.  GNOME, KDE, Software
Development, large chunks like those are selectable or not in the
installer.  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.

But until I tested it I had always thought that the netinst image
_required_ a network in order to set up the sources.list mirrors.  The
normal netinst install path does complain about not having it if there
is no network available.  But those complaints can be either ignored
or the expert path walked through to avoid it.

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.  Boot to the newly installed
360M system and then adjust sources.list as we desired.

I've used it for years and it works pretty well for everything except
watching videos, which tends to saturate the network.


Some the replies have prompted me to reinvestigate starting from the

first suggested months ago. I've since done 15-20 installs on my

hard way as my intention is to learn the guts of Linux.


You can definitely use the netinst cd to get a minimal system.  Just
uncheck all the software groups when it gives you an option to do so.
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.  I'm not
sure if it contains everything you need for a minimal system, or if it
requires downloading packages from the internet.



It requires internet connection. See 
http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ under What is the 
difference between the netinst and the business card 
images?


*HOWEVER*, in stating It does not contain the base system, 
but only the installer: even the base packages need to be 
downloaded from the net it declares feasibility of meeting 
my goal(s) - replace net by ??? .

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.

Original question:
Hi list,

My graphic card is connected through HDMI to my screen. I get no sound,

* You have not said where your speakers are. There is an implication
that the speakers are in your monitor, but this is not clear.
Yes indeed, my speakers are in my monitor, but I did not mention that 
because I had absolutely no idea that it could possibly matter. Does it?


* I reader, cannot be sure if your problem is simply a sound problem,
or a sound-through-hdmi problem.

I mentioned that sound through the other sound card works.

  I don't have a hdmi connection I
could even test (I use a laptop with a displayport and vga port). So
(artificial example only) I don't want to step in ... I could well
make a useless suggestion or get caught by your lack of
clarity/assumption, or you could be more technically competant, and
since you're talking hdmi, you already know more than I do... example
only.

* Short version: you did not specify whether you are trying to get
sound to go through your HDMI cable. (I just have a line out on my
laptop which I use, for example.)
I thought that was clear, so thanks for mentioning that, I will try to 
make it clearer next time.



and no error messages:

* Here, you do not say where you looked for error messages. Did you
check syslog, did you check the docs for the sound player you are
using to find out if it logs errors to some file somewhere?

* You see, when you say [I got] no error messages it's still
anybody's guess as how competant you are, or if you have truly made an
effort yourself, or not.
Okay, I could have made it more explicit. I meant that when I try 
aplay command line utility, it does not give an error message on the 
line. I assume that it would say so (on sysout or syserr, thus visible 
in the terminal) if it detected an error, as it seems to be designed for 
testing, and since the troubleshooting guide does not mention to look 
for anywhere else for error messages. But I may be wrong.



sounds seem to play correctly, according to
software, but I hear none.

* Did you check your cable is plugged in? You did not say whether you
checked basic things.
I said the sound works on the same computer, with a different OS. It is 
implicit that I do not change the cable configuration between two tests, 
it seems to me. I thought it would be sufficient to exclude a hardware 
problem such as an incorrect cable connection.



As if something was muted, though I checked
alsamixer ten times and activated everything I could.

* You are expressing frustration here. Many people do this (see my
most recent email an hour or so ago for an example), but it's not
useful. I checked ten times could easily be an exaggeration -
implying you might be an emotional hot potato.

True. I’ll remove that.



I use a debian wheezy up to date. On the same computer, but a different
OS (Ubuntu 10.04), sound works.

* This ought to be useful information - but mostly for you to test.

I do not understand the mostly for you to test part.

You haven't said if you used a dual-boot or a live-cd of Ubuntu.

Does that matter? (It is a dual-boot in fact.)

  I am
not technical enough to tell you what files to compare. But I've heard
of asound.rc or maybe it is asoundrc (don't remember sorry), so
you could hunt google for that, and Ubuntu/Debian, and compare the
files between the two OSs. But you have NOT taken advantage of this to
do more research yourself yet.
Well, I did. I have not mentionned it (but maybe I should have) because 
I did not want to make my post even longer and because it should work 
without these files. I checked for existence of any *asound* files in 
my Ubuntu install: there is no. In debian, none either. So I thought 
that’s not somewhere to search further.

 But until I tested it I had always thought that the netinst image
 _required_ a network in order to set up the sources.list mirrors.  The
 normal netinst install path does complain about not having it if there
 is no network available.  But those complaints can be either ignored
 or the expert path walked through to avoid it.

 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.  Boot to the newly installed
 360M system and then adjust sources.list as we desired.

Perhaps there's a marketing opportunity:
Instead of netinst.iso perhaps damn-thats-minimal.iso
And the business card (~80MiB?) firetruckingly-tiny.iso

When I initially looked at this I thought maybe, but it did not seem
particularly friendly to do. More to the point, I wasn't prepared to
change anything in my MTA's configuration to get it working.  After all,
I became interested in this complaint about list mails plus CCs, not
because they are an annoyance to me, but as an intriguing problem.

A solution is possible if thinking is in terms of formail rather than
procmail.

There is a Debian package of proxsmtp. This program can proxy mail to a
local or remote MTA. 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

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.

 +1.  I also think that is pretty cool.  Since Message-Id is one of the

 this.  I have many problem friends who reply with bad MTAs that break

 Pretty cool just the same though.

Thank you.

An implementation of the idea is below.

If a CC arrives first, it is stored and its Message-ID recorded. A list
mail which comes in later with the same message-ID is saved and the
previous CC deleted using archmbox.

A list mail arriving first is saved and has its Message-ID recorded. A
later arriving CC is deleted because it has the same Message-Id.

A cron job using archmbox can move mails left in possiblecc to inbox at
a suitable time.

Note that another post

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/03/msg00625.html

suggests a method for generating a Message-ID for the sent list mail
which does not depend on the use of Mutt.

 Yes indeed, my speakers are in my monitor, but I did not mention that
 because I had absolutely no idea that it could possibly matter. Does it?

There _were_ points of lack of clarity, which led to the possibility
(not fact) that you had overlooked something really simple. I am not
familiar with pci graphics cards, but I could imagine a separate
connection for speakers and that you had tested your successful Ubuntu
a long time ago. These things were not clear.

Anyway, sorry I can't help so much on the technical side of this question.

 * I reader, cannot be sure if your problem is simply a sound problem,
 or a sound-through-hdmi problem.
 I mentioned that sound through the other sound card works.

I did not know hdmi is what is coming out of a sound card?

:)

Again, I am simply highlighting, because you asked re asking questions.
So: there is sometimes assumption that when you make an ambiguous or
unclear statement, you might be overlooking something simple. Or you
might be emotional hot potato. Or ...

 and no error messages:
 * Here, you do not say where you looked for error messages. Did you
 check syslog, did you check the docs for the sound player you are
 using to find out if it logs errors to some file somewhere?

 * You see, when you say [I got] no error messages it's still
 anybody's guess as how competant you are, or if you have truly made an
 effort yourself, or not.
 Okay, I could have made it more explicit. I meant that when I try
 aplay command line utility, it does not give an error message on the
 line. I assume that it would say so (on sysout or syserr, thus visible
 in the terminal) if it detected an error, as it seems to be designed for
 testing, and since the troubleshooting guide does not mention to look
 for anywhere else for error messages. But I may be wrong.

Next is may be a search for kernel modules for hdmi sound? I don't
know where to start next on this other than man lsmod and google.
You could compare module list between the ubuntu and the debian
installs.

 I said the sound works on the same computer, with a different OS. It is
 implicit that I do not change the cable configuration between two tests,
 it seems to me. I thought it would be sufficient to exclude a hardware
 problem such as an incorrect cable connection.

From your point of view ok.

There are many people who have made simple errors. And, we don't know
if you tested Ubuntu 2 years ago, or yesterday. So how can we know
your fair assumption?

Since you asked re how to ask ...

 You haven't said if you used a dual-boot or a live-cd of Ubuntu.
 Does that matter? (It is a dual-boot in fact.)

Probably would not matter if you had said I tested Ubuntu 10.04
yesterday to make sure it is still working. It does with the following
command: ...

But there were various/too many assumptions that you were asking the
reader of your question to make. This leads to assumptions in the
readers mind which may be NOT in your favour..

This is my main point, regarding asking questions.

 David Zelinsky wrote:
 ... Worse, the linux-image package did not install properly, with

 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.

Thanks for all suggestions.

This sets a specific Message-Id on outgoing mails only.  This isn't

any new message posted to the mailing list.  Just setting the

Google about sound not working, (this list is a good start) and see what

 Would it be possible to also pipe outgoing mail through procmail or

 There is a Debian package of proxsmtp. This program can proxy mail to a
 local or remote MTA. More to the point, it can run a script which can
 process the mail before passing it on. This one, for example:
 ...
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)?
 
 This sets a specific Message-Id on outgoing mails only.  This isn't
 changing any message that has been replied to.  These are *new*
 messages which will be seen for the first time.  This is the same as
 any new message posted to the mailing list.  Just setting the
 message-id to that pattern conditionally.  It either gets the
 NoCcsPlease (or similar) string or it gets the string that the MTA
 assigns to it normally.  Either way it is a new message and a new
 message id will be assigned to it.

Ok, thanks.  It was just that it looked like a recipe for a message
that's coming *in* to your mailbox and having the ID changed.  Thanks
for the clarification.
