What happens if you copy 'n' paste lines from the so called faulty file to the working one? IOW, for some reason your .Xresources is faulty or you have a crook entry. You have a good one (the one which gives you the red background) which you have proved works, so test each entry from the faulty .Xresources in the good one. Eventually, the files will be identical, but hopefully you'll find the problem by then. :) -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think the attachment size limit is about 40K, although I can't be too sure if that relates to lists.debian.org but it does for the OT list on alioth. I think it is important that log and screen snapshots be accepted so that future archive searches don't end up being directed to some pastebin site which will probably expire after a time anyway. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: LVM preseed install fails with partition error
Hi Iain, I removed all the partman related lines and created a new preseed file. It works now on vm but has issue with baremetal for which i'll start a new thread. This is my complete preseed file for reference - http://paste.debian.net/88147/ Cheers, Sandeep. I think it was getting picky with no . after the partition definition. I will be interested to see what issues you have with baremetal that are do not exist for a VM Cheers Iain

(no ink required) For a limited time only we'll throw in not one, but two free reeds with every order from debian user subscribers. We built our reputation on tablets (and our office).

Using LTSP on a Debian server with Raspberry PI thin clients
Hi, To simplify things I was thinking about running a couple of RPI thin clients off my debian server? I would be using either powerline networking or wireless. I think I'll need to install a special bootloader on the RPI as they can't boot using PXE. I was wondering if anyone had actually implemented a system like this, and if it was responsive enough to be useful? Are there any other considerations I might need to think about?

Suppose I could even use tar and split but just curious what others may be doing currently. FWIW, I'm mostly concerned with cloning my current backups of family photos to different media for peace of mind. I already have a pair of backup servers in different physical locations but want to add some DVD's into the mix. Those are hard to rm. ;) I've been using BD-RE for years to make backups and BD-R for archives. It works reasonably well providing that you're not backing up more than 25G. BD-REs do develop problems over time so you need to replace them when they wear out. I thought that they were supposed to have defect-tracking like HDs but it doesn't seem to work. When a disc develops a bad sector, it still seems to get written to. If you rm the file and cp it back, the same place shows up as bad when you cmp the original and backup of the file. I highly recommend doing the cmp after a backup because I have seen a lot of bad copies. I use a retry loop to ensure that the backup matches the original. However, because the bad sector doesn't seem to get marked, you need to have enough free space on the BD-RE to make a second copy of the largest file, again limiting the amount you can back up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

So far, I haven't had readability problems on old CDs and DVDs. Blu-Rays seem a little squirrelly over time, but CDs and DVDs seem readable for many years. > > there are so many reasons why enterprise companys never use dvd's as > storage medium for their data I think one of the big reasons enterprise backups avoid optical media is shear size. With DVD max 4.7GB and Blu-Ray max 25GB, a bare metal backup could involve a lot of time consuming media switching. But look at the alternatives. Tape has *always* been iffy on restorability, especially consumer grade tape devices. Backing up to a 2TB, 2.5" Western Digital external disk, about $120.00 at Costco, is a real possibility, but: 1) If you're worried about long time readability, you don't want this, because you're always going to be tempted to cannibalize old backups to make room for new ones, rather than spending another $120.00. 2) Magnetic disks tend to stop working if not spun up at regular intervals. 3) Magnetic disks can be (accidentally) erased. Not so with write-once optical media. 4) Magnetic disks are very subject to electric destruction and physical shock. Then there's "cloud backup". This would theoretically be great if you could trust the commercial entity to: 1) Carefully keep you backups for later use 2) Protect your backups from being viewed by others. In practice, the only way I'd ever trust a cloud backup entity is if I had alternative copies (which I would), and the backup I submitted to them was GPG protected with maximum key size. Also, if you're like me and have upload speeds of less than 1Mbit, it's going to take forever to back up. And once again, for privacy reasons, there's no way I'd let the backup system iteratively access the files on my computer. > however it depends how long you try to have this backup available and > if you want to be sure you have a working backup Exactly. In practice, I do these three things: * Maintain my own, rsync driven, incremental backup server, as described at http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200609/200609.htm * Back up from the backup server to Blu-Ray * Back up from the backup server to Western Digital 2.5" drives Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt* http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Since texstudio is a LaTeX editor it makes sense that it would pull in latex packages. The package doesn't 'depend' on latex though, it's only a 'recommends' relationship, so you can install just texstudio without latex. The easiest way to do this is using aptitude's visual mode, just deselect the latex packages in the preview screen.

Bash completion doesn't prompt files in current directory
Hi all,
After yesterday's upgrade, I find that bash's completion rules changed a
bit. She doesn't prompt potent files any more if I don't type the first
character in file's name (but still prompt all directories). Say when I
have a tmp/ and tmp.txt at pwd,
$cat then press tab brings only tmp/
Further she fails me when a file's name starts with a "(" or "[".
$cat \[ or $cat [ prompt nothing even as I have a [tmp].txt file. I have
not tested other special characters yet.
I do want bash going back to old way. I'd like to ask you for how.
My bash version is 4.3-2, bash-completion 1:2.1-2

DVD backups are ideal for off-site/secured backups in your use case. Do you have a fireproof safe? Some security companies provide very cheap 24/7 access lockboxes. > > dkopp works well, as does cedar-backup2 and backupninja. There are also other open-source tools with similar functionality. Contrary to one opinion in this thread, most of the "enterprise" (and very large government departments) I've worked with *do* use DVDs for backups to some degree. They're also often used by SMEs, with bank and security lockboxes used to for secure offsite storage. Tape and online backups (usually outsourced to storage companies) are the first level of backups, but often DVDs are used as a second level of data security. The advantages being that retrieving backups from DVDs doesn't incur an additional service fee; they provide an added layer of data security, and independence from business wide backup scheduling. Belts are good, but for full pants security belt and suspenders is better. As Ralf points out - modern optical storage media is not very reliable. *If* you don't implement the same (ITIL?) practices you would/should with magnetic media - that is, check it. You should also use archive quality optical media for your backups for best results. cdck, and qpxtool are useful for checking your optical media backups before trusting them. dvdisaster is my tool of choice as it can add additional levels of error correction. As with any backup - it's of little value if kept onsite unless locked in a fire-proof safe (though I've known "professionals" who kept backups on the same machine they're backing up!). An additional consideration with optical media backups is age deterioration, so storage conditions and media design will determine backup rotation schedules. Note: all the tools I mentioned are in the Debian repository and IMO are as good, or better, than the commercial alternatives.

Sometimes a somewhat older copy is needed. One we start talking about archive data were we need to look at data that is years old and may no longer be on the "current" storage medium then indeed the lifetime of the "backup medium" does become part of the discussion.

providing a static IP/Netmas/Gateway + location of a preseed file at boot prompt.
Hi guys, I would like to install my Debian machines with the Pressed D-I feature. At this moment, I dont have a decent DHCP/BootP server yet, and waiting for this to be achieved, I want to manually provide the IP address at the boot prompt. I already use it on others distributions install, but I miss the right syntax on Debian. What I want is to issue something similar to [...] ip=x netmask= gateway=z preseed/url=http://host/preseed.cfg My guess, reading the documentation is I cant directly put some preseed parameters in the boot parameters.
