Re: using `myscript.sh` to change current env
Am 07. Sep, 2013 schwätzte Zenaan Harkness so:
moin moin Zenaan,
Rather than all the convolutions of command substitution, how about just
using a function that's in your profile or bashrc?
$ cat /tmp/bashrc
function changeps() {
export PS1=': '
}
$ . /tmp/bashrc
$ changeps
:
Add arguments to the fx() for your different options :).
ciao,
der.hans
I want to have a script, to change between a few prompts per the arg
supplied. This is so I can quickly change from my glorious
bells-and-whistles prompt to a plain prompt (eg for cut and paste to
debian-user, just "$ " or "# " depending on current user) to a
timestamped prompt (when I have some long-running process, and I want
to see when it finished) etc.
In bash, we cannot run a script plainly, and have that script update
the current shell's env.
We could source the script with 'source' or '.' command, but this
requires a correct location of the script to be entered, which is slow
and not ideal. I want to be able to run the script as a command.
So I thought, run the script in a subshell, executing the result, like:
$ `ps1`
The following 3-line script is meant to test exactly this:
#!/bin/bash
PS1=': '
echo "export PS1=$PS1"
Note that in this example, the desired new prompt is a colon followed
by a single space.
The problem is, when I run this script as `ps1`, I get a changed
prompt, but just to colon, not including the space.
Does anyone know how I might have a space character included in my new
prompt, using this `way` to change my prompt?
TIA
Zenaan

Which is a good thing. It allows versatility in an installation. e.g. You may want an ssh client, but not an ssh server running. Also, don't confuse library packages with leaf packages. It makes far more sense to separate out common code into a library and make it an individual package where it only needs to be installed *ONCE* but can be shared. Compare this to monolithic packages, where the *SAME* code is installed over and over again, and you get everything but the kitchen sink WHETHER you need it or not!!! > some distros don't do this, Really?

When I change the last line to this:
echo "export PS1=\"${PS1}\""
I get:
bash: export: `"': not a valid identifier
So it appears that my current/parent shell is tokenizing the output of
`...` based on the space.
I guess, why is it tokenizing on space, yet ignoring the quotes?

Which filesystem to recommend for external USB portable drives, which
move between 'random' hosts?
Perhaps fuseext2 would simplify this? I don't have experience with it yet.
The point is, a lot of us who would read this list, would be those who
are able and/ or do install Debian for others.
There should be an "easy for grandma" installation setup for the use
("by grandma") of externally attached/ portable drives.
Anyone know what The Right Way(TM)(R)(C) is?
Or should be with some scripting/ configuration?
Or could be with some hacking?
At the moment, the situation has been dissatisfactory (for grandma)
for years now, as see it.

how to remove libaudit0 and install libaudit1?
Hi all,
I'm on debian-testing and recently libaudit1 entered testing and I'm

I'm not familiar with all these new fancy FreeDesktop gizmos. Still,
this part:
match disks {
automount = true
automount_options = { sync, noatime, "dmask=0", "fmask=0"}
Looks like mounting options (and, as I wrote before, tinkering with them
is useless), but this:
post_insertion_command = "udisks --set-spindown %
device_file --spindown-timeout 1800 --mount %device_file
--mount-options sync,noatime,dmask=0,fmask=0" }
Probably allows insertion of arbitrary command (maybe several), which
will be invoked with root privileges.
IMO, insert chown here, and you're set.

Hmm. In that blog they run udisks-glue with root privileges too.

YMMV, but I'd never use chown for this purpose. Besides, I haven't
meant you should run chown on each mount, running chown once should be
more than enough.

Take two different hosts, make user with the same name, but different uids on those hosts. Take USB stick, format it as ext2 (any filesystem keeping file permissions will do, actually). Now, move some files with this USB stick between hosts. This is exactly the situation that requires chown-after-mount unless you have root on both hosts.

I came across this a while ago and meant to file a bug report because
the "usage" output doesn't correspond to the actual usage - and
didn't... :(

one_queue: by default tuntap uses multiple queues (descriptors) to

pi: provide packet information (default!)
vnet_hdr: allow sending and receiving large packets because tuntap is
in the kernel

Installing and booting Debian from large hard drives in a RAID without GPT
Hi list, I just purchased an HP ProLiant Micro Server G2020T. As for the hard drives, I installed 4 3TB Western Digital HDs. So far so good, but volumes with a capacity greater than 2TB require a GPT partition table. Unfortunately, the server does not support UEFI, and thus can't boot from GPT partitions natively. So, when I ran the Debian installer, I used the following partitioning scheme on all drives since I wanted to combine them in a software RAID: 1MB BIOS Boot Partition (BBP) for GRUB 512MB dedicated /boot partition partition with all the remaining disk space. I then proceeded to setup software RAID: no RAID on the 1MB BIOS boot partition (not sure if this is correct) RAID1 for the 512MB /boot partition including all the HDs. RAID5 for the large partition that remained for file storage. I then set up the /boot partition (/dev/md0) to contain an EXT3 file system and also configured the mount point to be / boot. For the large partition, I setup LVM and created logical volumes for the root and SWAP partition. I also configured those partitions accordingly so the installer would know how to use them. Once I finished, the installation went through without any problems. After the system was installed, I used the 'Install the GRUB boot loader' option to install GRUB on all HDS (/dev/sda through /dev/sdd), which worked just fine. However, when I rebooted the system I got an error message saying the root file system could not be mounted. I suspected the LVM to cause issues, so I re-installed everything but this time without LVM. Unfortunately, the same issue persists… Has anyone here ever been in a similar situation and could suggest a fix? I have a feeling I may be missing something important, but just can't find the right path to take… Thanks a lot for any help / ideas!

ip tuntap del
Anyone know why ip tuntap del requires the "mode"?
# ifconfig tapz
tapz: error fetching interface information: Device not found
# ip tuntap add mode tap tapz
# ifconfig tapz
tapz Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 06:b8:f7:41:bf:08

tapz: error fetching interface information: Device not found
We see that when deleting a tap device, we still have to include the
mode. From a user perspective that ought to be superfluous. Perhaps it
is some kernel driver optimization thing, which has not bee papered
over by ip command. A minor point in the scheme of things I guess.
So could the Usage output be made a little more accurate (possibly
not, without duplicating it for each of add and del subcommands):
# ip tuntap help
Usage: ip tuntap { add | del } [ dev PHYS_DEV ]
[ mode { tun | tap } ] [ user USER ] [ group GROUP ]
[ one_queue ] [ pi ] [ vnet_hdr ]
Where: USER := { STRING | NUMBER }
GROUP := { STRING | NUMBER }
Also, how can I find out what one_queue, pi and vnet_hdr options could be?
I am wondering if this interface of command "ip" could be made more
discoverable for users like myself, and how to go about 'suggesting'
that in an appropriate way?
TIA
Zenaan

Re: gwenview
I use digikam at home and had similar problems with one of the childs cameras. I hardly remember but I think I needed mtp-tools to be installed installed. But newer digikam/gphoto2 should support PTP directly. If this doesn't help, try a search machine. If that still does not help, I could ask my kids (when I see them :-).

However, there is no error message or log that I could provide. What I expect is to see the NFS resource being mounted into my schroot environment but what I see is that it is not being mounted. There is no error message for this. So, as you can see, I have provided as much information as possible at this point. So if somebody has hints in regard to my original question, please let me know.
