I don't think Oracle is going to cease sharp practice anytime soon.

I'm surprised Debian hasn't taken the lead in this.
Larry seems to have developed a somewhat similar stance to open source,
over the years, as Bill Gates.

And to digress a little, it might be an idea to firm up policy around
database generally while we are at it.

I'm sick of installing this package and this one and that and the other,
then looking up at the end of the install to find that mysql, postgresql,
firebird, and two or three other database structures have all been pulled
in as dependencies.

Surely we can make things a little tidier than that.
Is it really so hard to settle policy on one database - Postgresql? - then
modify Debian packages, including LibreOffice, for that.
Cheers!

davfs2: umount no longer waits for cache synchronization

[Bill Brelsford]

Beginning with 1.4.7-1.1 (wheezy), unmounting a davfs filesystem
returns immediately:

  $ umount /foo/dav
  $
  
The "waiting while mount.davfs (pid ) synchronizes the cache"
message is not printed; cache synchronization continues in the
background.  It appears that umount.davfs is not being called.
Bug?  Or do I have something configured wrong?

Thank you.  The way I read it, it looked in that thread as if the consensus 
was: for Jessie, Debian should try to ship both, and allow the user to choose.  
Post Jessie, MySQL may be dropped if Oracle continues its unfriendly practices, 
but that is still very much up in the air until that time.

Password promlem with home wifi

[Sebastian Canagaratna]

Hi: I have a home wifi which has been working well for the past
three years or so. There is a Verizon router on the ESSID and the WEP
key is also written down clearly. This has been working well both with
Debian stable and unstable (aptosid) which I have on different disks. The
wireless card is Intel and requires iwl4965 which I have down loaded and
done modprobe -r iwlwifi etc so that it worked. Recently I came into some
problem with grub and I had to reconfigure the wireless interface. I have
come to the stage using wicd   to have the interface recognized but it does
not accept the password. I can make the text of the password visible so
that I know what I am inputting, and in any case, there are Windows
machines and Macs which use the same router which are working fine, So the
problem seems to do with my Linux ,machine;both stable and unstable
don't seem to recognize the password, though I can  verify that it is the
old one which worked for so long.Has anybody any clue as to what might
behappening. When I configure it , it clearly says bad password. In
fact it
keeps retrying and asks for the key every five minutes or so.I 'd be
grateful for any suggestions ad to how to debug this problem.

Rhythmbox transcoding to portable player

[Rob Owens]

When I drag a song to my portable player, using Rhythmbox, it transcodes
to the song to mp3.  But the bitrate is too low, and I cannot get it to
change.  I have tried changing the format settings in Preferences,
Music, Library Structure, but that doesn't have any impact on the
bitrate for files getting tranferred to my portable player.

How can I adjust those settings?

Alternatively, could you recommend some other method of transcoding and
transferring songs to a portable player and a plain old usb stick?  I
know soundconverter can do it, but it's not as nice to use when you have
a really large music collection -- Rhythmbox has search ability to make
this pretty easy.

RedHat and MariaDB

[Mark Allums]

Slashdot and others have reported that RedHat, like Fedora and OpenSuSE, is 
switching from MySQL to MariaDB.  I expect Debian will follow suit, since they 
have set precedents many times for preferring free software. (Example: 
OpenOffice.org ==> LibreOffice.) 

Has this been discussed?  Does anyone have a time frame for this?  I would like 
to see this happen in time for Jessie.

If it was a power cord issue, and you plugged it back in, then there
should be no need to use parted.  Simply mdadm re-add the drive to the
raid array.  If the drive was running correctly before then the
partitions on the drive would have been correct.  There should be no
need to make any changes to the partition table.

And understand that each of those partitions are set up as RAID 1 mirror.

Why were you trying to delete, add, or modify any partition?  You said
you had a power cord issue.  Did you replace the disk with a different
disk?  If you replaced the disk with a different disk then you will
need to clone the partition table.  If you are using the same disk as
before then do not modify the partition table.

This shows two devices.  It shows /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc.  All four
raid partitions are operating in degraded mode using only one device.
Note that the sizes are not quite identical.

But that is only part of the data.  You need to use mdadm to display
the data that you need.  Please show the output of each of the following
commands:

  mdadm --detail /dev/md1
  mdadm --detail /dev/md2
  mdadm --detail /dev/md3
  mdadm --detail /dev/md4

The critical information is at the bottom of each of the output.  On
my system it shows this for an example:

Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
   0   810  active sync   /dev/sda1
   1   8   171  active sync   /dev/sdb1

You will need to know that information in order to proceed successfully.

> when i pass this command.
> 
> root@nasbox:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdc2

I don't know.  I have never had this problem.  Searching the web shows
me many other people who have had similar problems but none with any
explanation that I could find.

I would like to see the output of:

  mdadm --examine /dev/sdc2

I am hoping that would show something useful.  I would also like to
see the exact sizes of the partitions.  Please show the output of the
following which will show the exact sizes.  I worry that sdc2 is not
large enough and is smaller than sdb2.

  sfdisk -d /dev/sdb
  sfdisk -d /dev/sdc

It is possible that the partition table on the disk and the operating
system's view of it are out of sync with each other.  You may need to
poke at the OS and have it scan the disk.

  partprobe /dev/sdc

Hope that helps.

Press Alt-F4 and observe what is happening on the installer log screen
and report it.  Hopefully it will say what it is doing at the time and
any error will be present there.  You may also press Alt-F2 or Alt-F3

Re: Re: Lenovo WiFi Problem

I'm not saying this is your issue but a few months back I had a

router to B/G solved the issue for me.

If nothing else, you could at least give it a try.

RT8192CU Wlan - Not Working!

[James Hill]

Hi Guys,

I have the above WLAN USB adapter.

I have followed the setup detail here:

http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#Debian_7.0_.22Wheezy.22

And the config detail here:

http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#Command_Line

But it will not work!

All I get is:

Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:0b:81:89:61:f9
Sending on   LPF/wlan0/00:0b:81:89:61:f9

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.


For some reason, whatever it may be it will not associate with the AP.

I had the same issue with Wheezy & an identical adapter on the Raspberry 
Pi, and had to overcome that by running an automated setup script that 
some guy on the Pi forum had written - but it only works for the Pi!


Are the drivers wrong?

lsusb & lsmod show the device & drivers loaded. dmesg shows it loading 
the firmware etc.


ifconfig shows it sending & receiving packets.

I'm at a total loss! I've been on this for 2 days now, and I cannot see 
what is wrong!


Can anybody throw some light on it before I can it and give up? I'm not 
going to let it beat me!


Thanks,

James

Because I prefer to "learn as I go", I (personally) would in this case
immediately start working with the NTFS filesystem.  If you *always*
mount it read-only, do not feel that a drive failure is imminent, and
trust the NTFS drivers, then this should be completely safe.  If you
can get even a small portion (at the beginning) of the tar.gz, you
could (I suppose) use gzcat and then see some of the tar contents on
stdout.  Perhaps you could even find a way to re-compress it to 4.7GB
chunks, and then burn those to DVD or something.  Or…

I remember seeing benchmarks comparing driver versions on different 
chipsets. It was quite interesting to see that while newer chipsets 
performed better with the newer drivers older chipsets were slower.

Personally I wouldn't worry about this unless you need to squeeze every 
little bit of performance your card is capable of. For regular usage I 
doubt you would feel the difference.

Kind regards,
Andrei

I have been having a WiFi problem for a few months now, and I think I 
should finally fix it. I am using a Lenovo Ideapad Z370 with Gnome 3's 
network manager. Whenever I connect to a WiFi network, I have one or 
more of these three problems.


1. The speed of the network drops drastically. Usually less than 20% 
of the speed that the network should be.
2. The network seems to work fine for several minutes then drops out 
for 30 seconds to two minutes until it finally starts working again. 
This repeats itself.
3. I am repeatedly asked for the password for the network and cannot 
access the internet at all. I know for a fact that the password I am 
entering is correct.


In all of these problems network manager says that I am connected to 
the network just fine which is obviously not the case. I can also say 
that this probably isn't a hardware problem or a matter of range 
because Windows 7 seems to connect just fine.


Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I can post any log files 
that may be needed. Thanks for any help in advance!

If you want to use apache with each host owner you must use it with 
fastcgi or fcgid module.

Thank you guys for all your input. The mention of scalpel, scrounge-ntfs
reminded me that I should do some "apt-cache search forensic", and I found
several other packages: foremost, autopsy, safecopy, guymager, etc. Is
there any preference on any of these tools or warning that you would like
to share? At this point I have to wait about two weeks before I can afford
getting a 2TB drive where I could dump the recovered parts and try to
resuscitate it. Is there any site that would have information about
forensics? The best way to prepare is by learning the fundamentals, since
anyway I have two weeks of waiting time.

Yes, but a lengthy explanation would only reveal that it is not
interesting at all :)
Also, it is not interesting for me to spend time writing it :)
So it would be a waste of time all round.
Nor is it related at all to debian, so it would be off-topic for this
mailing list.

Way to share a desktop

[Frank Lanitz]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a controlled way to share desktop via e.g. ssh. Goal is
to replace tools like teamviewer for a box where a technician shall
logon remotely and show local people how to do things. So pretty similar
to ssh + screen -x. What's the best way for X(fce) here?

Cheers,
Frank

I have finally reached that  shared-mime-info:i386 is required to install 
libqtwebkit4:i386 

But if I try to install as below

apt-get install shared-mime-info:i386  libxml2:i386

It wants to remove half of the installed packages !!!

I had a similar issue when installing skype when Wheezy was still in testing.

It appears that teamviewer is a 32 bit application, packaged for the
AMD64 architecture (hence the ia32-libs-i386).
You might want to remove those and other 32-bit applications packaged
as AMD64 (everything that needs ia32-libs or similar)
and install their 32-bit (i386) counterparts using multi-arch.

In effect, something like this:
# aptitude remove ia32-libs-i386)
# aptitude autoremove
that last one removes any packages you have installed but don't need
(usually libraries that have been brought in as dependencies).

Then install the i386 packages for any applications that might have
been removed by removing ia32-libs, such as teamviewer and skype.

Regards,
Steven

Re: How to consistently install a set of packages?

[David]

Thank you to everyone, all of the responses contained ideas that
guided me towards a successful outcome.

First, it was clear that nobody advocated trying to control the order
that the packages were installed in.

The suggestion by James Richardson to create users/groups before
installing the packages was a better solution that hadn't occurred
to me.

The various pointers to the docs got me reading them again, more
carefully.

The suggestion by Max Hyre to clone passwd, shadow, group, & gshadow
seemed like the easiest method to achieve it. Thanks for the reminder
about *shadow, I would have forgotten it and made a mess! Joe also
supported this approach.

The observation by Andrei Popescu, that packages don't remove system
users on purge, boosted my feeling that this could work.

I worried that package install scripts might have some subtle breakage.
Also then, I was incorrectly reading 'man useradd' which documented
exitstatus=9 if the user already exists and it wasn't clear if this was
disabled by --system. I should have been reading 'man adduser' instead
which is less alarming.

So the first thing I tried was a test to check this. I chose the
already installed 'approx' package as an example:

# grep approx /etc/passwd
approx:x:102:104::/var/cache/approx:/bin/false

It has this in its postinst script:
adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home
/var/cache/approx approx

So in a terminal I tested:
# adduser --quiet --system approx
# echo $?
0

which confirmed no need to worry about adduser exitstatus.

The ideas from 'paul e condon' and Gilles Mocellin on how to use
aptitude to generate a list of packages and then feed that list back
to aptitude were brilliant. I ended up doing it like this:

# aptitude --disable-columns -F "%p=%V" search '~i!~M' >package_list
# edit package_list for different xorg drivers
# aptitude -R install $(cat package_list)

That last line was run on a bare minimum wheezy netinstall. It seems
to have worked perfectly on the test system. The additional system
users created by my package selections were
sshd,approx,messagebus,dnsmasq,festival,pulse,usbmux,lightdm,saned.

The only thing I have noticed that needed a fix afterward is that
lightdm would not start:

# cat /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log
Error writing X authority: Error opening file
'/var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority': No such file or directory

The reason is the homedir /var/lib/lightdm was never created, due to
the postinst script being written like this:

$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/lightdm.postinst
#!/bin/sh
set -e
[...]
# creating lightdm user if he isn't already there
if ! getent passwd lightdm >/dev/null; then
adduser --system --ingroup lightdm --home /var/lib/lightdm lightdm
usermod -c "Light Display Manager" lightdm
usermod -d "/var/lib/lightdm"  lightdm
usermod -g "lightdm"   lightdm
usermod -s "/bin/false"lightdm
fi
if [ -d /var/lib/lightdm ]; then
  chown -R lightdm:lightdm /var/lib/lightdm
  chmod 0750 /var/lib/lightdm
fi
[...]

It was obviously easy to fix this:
# mkdir -p /var/lib/lightdm
# chown -R lightdm:lightdm /var/lib/lightdm
# chmod 0750 /var/lib/lightdm

None of the other packages mentioned above had this issue. Either
they have 'adduser --no-create-home', or they do not adduser or
create homedir in their postinst.

Thanks again for the help. Now I know how to get my all the numeric
uid/gid the same on all my personal machines, which I find useful.

Also, doing things out of the ordinary is a great way to learn - even
if sometimes the only thing you learn is why no-one else does it that
way :)

This is not what I was trying to suggest or the output I was asking for. 
Please try

apt-get install libqtwebkit4:i386 libgstreamer... libgstreamer...

but before that get rid of teamviewer. One non-Debian package at a time

Ok, this might explain why things aren't going so smooth. It's usually a 
good idea to upgrade to testing only when you are already quite familiar 
with Debian. Also the period short after a release is the most 
difficult.

My 'apt-cache policy' says version 0.10.36-1.2 is available in jessie 
i386 for both of these. What does yours say?

I'd suggest you don't try installing teamviewer at the same time, it 
just complicates things.

You could try specifying the additional dependencies as well and see 
what happens.

Kind regards,

Mdadm drive fail power cord issue.

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

one of our server's drive failed due to power cord issue.
however i plug it back and due to less experience with "parted" i messed
the whole thing.

i have 2tbx2 RAID 1 mirror and have 4x500GB partitions.

even i selected the right drive by "select command" and deleted the right
partition but parted did something worst though, i take it as my own
mistake as i am not that experience with parted i am usually using fdisk.

so the case is. i destroyed 1 partition data. and 3 are still save and
accessible. though i do had a backup of the first drive that way things are
still in my hand taking all the 3 partitions backup on another drive fore
safe side.

now the problem part is i can not re attach the fail drive partition with
RAID /dev/md[2,3,4] devices.

please ignore partition 1 of both drives as i already messed them up.
however i can not make all other remaining partition back on track as RAID.

when i pass this command.

root@nasbox:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdc2
mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sdc2 as 2: Invalid argument


i did googled but didn't found something near to my issue. please help.



Thanks
