Bridging avec plusieurs IPs
Hello ! Bon, ça fait plusieurs jours que je farfouille, je ne parviens pas à faire ce que je veux. J'ai un dédié, avec debian fraichement installé, bien à jour, toussa. Je vais utiliser KVM pour avoir des machines virtuelles. Pour l'instant, aucune n'est installée. Je veux donc commencer par configurer le réseau. J'ai 5 adresses IPs, j'en veux une pour le host, et les 4 autres iront pour 4 des VMs, plus tard. Je veux faire du bridge, afin d'avoir, en gros, 5 machines accessibles depuis l'extérieur. Voilà ma config de base, avant d'essayer le bridging (je ne mets pas lo) : auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address A.B.C.D netmask 255.255.255.255 network A.B.C.D broadcast A.B.C.D dns-nameservers A.B.C.1 dns-search monHebergeur.fr #Route statique vers la passerelle up route add -host A.B.C.1 dev eth0 up route add default gw A.B.C.1 Voilà ce que j'ai testé : auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual auto br0 iface br0 inet static [meme config que l'origine pour eth0] bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 bridge_maxwait 0 Mais voilà, je reboote, j'attends longtemps, et rien, pas de ping, pas de ssh, of course.

Is there some parameter I can pre-seed -- or set at runtime? The wheezy installer (at least) aligns by default to 1MiB. I haven't been able to test this on x86 or amd64, but on powerpc64 this doesn't seem to be true. I just did a fresh install from the Wheezy PowerPC DVD-1 on an Apple PowerMac G5. When it got to disk partitioning, I specified use the full disk and create LVM with a separate LV for /home. The following is what the partition table looks like: root@bigal:~# mac-fdisk -l /dev/sda /dev/sda #type name length base ( size ) system /dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/sda2 Apple_Bootstrap untitled 1954 @ 64 (977.0k) NewWorld bootblock /dev/sda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 51 @ 2018 (244.1M) Linux native /dev/sda4 Linux_LVM untitled 1953023100 @ 502019 (931.3G) Unknown /dev/sda5 Apple_Free Extra 49 @ 1953525119 ( 24.5k) Free space Block size=512, Number of Blocks=1953525168 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 When I say sector or logical-sector in the following I mean 512-byte sector. When I say physical-sector I mean 8 logical-sectors (4096-bytes). When I say megabyte or MiB I mean 1048576 bytes or 2048 logical-sectors, or 256 physical-sectors. The Apple_partition_map (sda1) is fine. It skips the 0th sector and ends on the 64 sector (8 physical-sector) boundary. But the Apple_Bootstrap/NewWorld_bootblock partition (sda2), while it begins on a physical-sector boundary, does not end on a physical-sector boundary. A reasonable thing for the installer to do would be to make it exactly 1 megabyte long, but I'd be happy with any integer number of physical-sectors. The openboot firmware is expecting it to be just about anything longer than 800k (100 physical-sectors / 400 logical-sectors) It doesn't know anything about physical-sectors vs logical-sectors, so as long as the simulation in the diskdrive works, so will the openboot firmware. It only gets used when the system boots or a new yaboot.conf gets installed, so this is not critical, but it is curious. Perhaps the installer thinks that a full MiB is too large? I can imagine that this might be true on some of the IBM hardware, but I know it's not true for Apple hardware. In any case... The third partition (sda3) holds /boot for the installed Linux. It does not start or end on a physical-sector boundary (due to the odd length of the preceding partition), though there is no reason I can think of that it needs to be that way. Again, this partition is not used frequently, so not starting on a MiB boundary does not noticeably affect performance -- but it is odd, nevertheless. However, there is absolutely *no* excuse for it not to *end* on a MiB boundary. Indeed, the rather strange length seems to be chosen specifically to keep it from ending on a MiB boundary. Curiouser and curiouser! Now we come to the really strange one -- the Linux_LVM (sda4) partition. There really is no excuse for it not to start on a clean MiB boundary, and every reason to assume that it should. And yet... here we are with a starting sector that is not even a multiple of 2, let along a multiple of 2048)! So I ask again: Aside from doing the partitioning manually, myself, is there any way to get the installer's partitioner to respect the new guidelines for Advanced Format and SSD/flash disks? Thanks!

No, Virginia, there is no such think as a dangling hard link (Re: `ls` shows file, `bash` says No such file ???)
Well, at least, if you have a dangling hard link, the file system itself is broken. And it would not be the normal kind of breakage, at all. rm will not actually de-allocate a file until all hard links have been rm-ed, in file systems where multiple hard links are allowed. That is, when you first create a file, the directory entry that you see when you ls it is a hard link: echo It's a gas. file.text # and file.txt is a hard link in the current directory. ln file.text ../linky.text # and linky.text is also a hard link. rm file.text # The file is still allocated, still exists, still accessible as ../linky.text rm ../linky.text # Now the file system deletes and re-claims the allocation, # and the file finally ceases to exist. The OP's problem is not a problem with ls, or with finding the file at all. Nor a problem with bash finding /usr/local/share/firefox-3.6. 28/firefox-bin. I forget who mentioned it in the parent thread, but, among the other changes being played with in sid, 32 bit emulation is changing drastically, so, even when he gets all the dependencies resolved, he's going to have problems. If he has some need to use sid, his safest bet (as someone said in the parent thread) to set up a vm, xen or whatever, containing an OS no later than wheezy. (Or the equivalent Mint release.) If he needs new hardware for that, I'd suggest he requisition it from his company, just to make sure they understand that recalcitrant sysadmins are costing them money. And I'd recommend he points his management to the parent thread, so that management is aware that, not only is using the ancient VPN non-solution costing him money in terms of service OT, but leaving them vulnerable in the very place where they are trying to establish security.

Unfortunately, it is not installable. :-/ If you are using amd64, you can install the package from unstable. On i386, install the package from stable-security and libudev0 from stable. A bit of investigation found that libudev0 is also not available in unstable. I figured this would be fixed quickly and was part of the natural growing pains of the Testing distro ... but it has been a while and hasn't changed. Because chromium still has not been built on i386 in unstable, the latest version failed because the linker ran out of address space. Before I file a bug, I thought I'd ask if my problem was universal, or specific to something about my system. No need to report a bug, the problem is known. In the long run, I suspect it will be restricted to build on amd64 only since it requires too much memory to be linked on 32 bit architectures. Also, why does Chromium need udev? To detect webcams and microphones? Good question, even Gentoo does not allow building chromium without udev so I guess it's mandatory, but I don't know why.

Dualboot: Strange behavior
Hi, I successfully installed Windows 7 and Wheezy on my DELL laptop E6530. As I do not use WIN7 very often and really don't look at the GRUB menu when starting my machine as Wheezy is supposed to start automatically, I discovered only two days ago, that the WIN7-entry of the GRUB menu has disappeared. I checked the partitions and everything looked OK. With the BootRepairDisk (could not live without it) I recreated the GRUB menu and now I see Wheezy and WIN7 again and both work as expected. How could something like happen? Could an update of Win7 or Wheezy do something like that?

Have you tried not using a Macintosh partition map -- using a DOS/BIOS partition map instead? Then you should be able to use the more normal partitioning tools. Or, kind of the reverse, have you tried partitioning it with the Mac OS installer's disk utility? Or pdisk? Hi Joel, Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I don't think they would work... It's the boot disk for a Mac. It *has* to have a Macintosh partition map. A DOS partition map would not be understood by the Mac firmware, It's been a while since I had time to mess with ppc. (Not enough working displays in the house, and dyndns is no longer free, so the old ppc mini is sleeping right now.) But my memory is that you can, in fact, use DOS partition formats on some of the ppc hardware produced towards the end-of-line period. If that's something you want to think about. Really wish Jobs had been more willing to try carrying the PPC line in parallel with the intel line. I'm sure his plans to switch again to ARM had something to do with things, ... And anyway, the object of the exercise is to use the default installer for PowerPC Macs, not to force it manually, as would be the case with your second suggestion. To what purpose? Anyway, you do know about the manual options. One more thought, it was not so long ago that the entire idea of trying to fight with a hard disks internal idea of the physical layout of the partitions was considered counterproductive. Are you then, primarily, focused on less-intelligent controllers for bulk flash persistent store?

Faster instantiation of xfce4-appfinder
Hi all, This happened on Ubuntu 14.04, so I don't know how applicable it is to Debian, but in case you encounter it, try to remember this... For years I've used xfce4-appfinder, hotkeyed to Ctrl+Shift+; to run many of my apps. Easy, quick, requires little (human) memory, reduces keystrokes. But after installing Ubuntu 14.04 with Xfce on a laptop, it started taking upwards of 3 seconds to run xfce4-appfinder, completely negating its value. This is something I never saw before. So to fix the problem, I changed what the hotkey ran by adding --disable-server to the command.

Pointers to recommended docs on setting up a VM for running a VPN are appreciated. details: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/05/msg00294.html [Sven Joachim Sun, 04 May 2014 22:21:45 +0200] [you have an] older version of libgif4 than the one in jessie/sid[, since] Multiarch support was enabled in 4.1.6-11 back in December 2013. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/05/msg00302.html [Tom Roche Sun, 04 May 2014 17:10:28 -0400] [So] 1. add [repository=`deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free`] 2. update packages 3. update package=libgif4:i386 4. install package=icedtea-7-plugin:i386 5. remove repository [correct?] It was. After NEW_REPO_LINE='deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free' NEW_REPO_LIST_FN='debian-testing.list' # files in .../sources.list.d/ need extension=list REPO_LIST_DIR='/etc/apt/sources.list.d' NEW_REPO_LIST_FP=${REPO_LIST_DIR}/${NEW_REPO_LIST_FN} sudo touch ${NEW_REPO_LIST_FP} #sudo echo -e ${NEW_REPO_LINE}\n ${NEW_REPO_LIST_FP} # above fails: gotta run the whole thing as `sudo`: #sudo sh -c echo -e '${NEW_REPO_LINE}\n' ${NEW_REPO_LIST_FP} # above fails: prepends '-e ' sudo sh -c echo '${NEW_REPO_LINE}\n' ${NEW_REPO_LIST_FP} cat ${NEW_REPO_LIST_FP} sudo aptitude update I was able to install {libgif4:amd64 , libgif4:i386} cleanly. Installing java for the F5NAP was a bit more annoying--package=icedtea-netx handles file=/usr/bin/policyeditor IMHO buggily--but I got that installed, and symlinked the appropriate IcedTeaPlugin.so for firefox-3.6.28. Not particularly clean, but now the VPN (F5NAP plus 32-bit firefox) works. (And still works, after backing out the repository change, and re-updating packages.) I would like to know where to report the problem with {icedtea-netx , /usr/bin/policyeditor} to prevent problems for OP, so, if you know, please lemme know where/how best to do that. Regarding the suggestions to install the VPN via a 32-bit VM and network appropriately: the problem is, I don't know how to do that. I would appreciate pointers to doc for next time, or for OP who might stumble upon this thread. By contrast, I knew I could make the above/multiarch approach work, since I'd done it before. Unfortunately, I hadn't *documented* it before, but I did this time. Hopefully multiarch support will be {even better, more transparent} in future.

Fuse module won't install in stable (Wheezy)
I was just trying to load the fuse module to run sshfs, but the module wouldn't load. The 'modprobe fuse' command gives the error: ERROR: could not insert 'fuse': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter The log files show the message: fuse: Unknown symbol nosteal_pipe_buf_ops (err 0) I looked into bugs for the fuse package, but the fuse module is with the kernel, so I am not sure where to look. I am running stable and had just upgraded to the latest packages with security updates. Those packages are: ii fuse 2.9.0-2+deb7u1 ii libfuse2:amd64 2.9.0-2+deb7u1 ii linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 3.2.57-3 ii linux-image-amd64 3.2+46 ii sshfs 2.4-1 I can't run later kernels because I need to use zfs and its module won't work with kernels later than about 3.10. I also tried the same thing with the zfs modules unloaded, so I don't think that it is a module conflict. Has anybody else seen this problem before, or know how to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Contribute a Graphic for Tweakengine: Debian's Configuration Portal
G'day Debian Community! The Tweakengine team is wondering if a member of the Debian community might be interested in helping us with a logo or similar branding graphic for the project. *Project In Brief* This project is a new one to develop a moderated community messageboard service that plugs into a terminal window, so as to allow the direct execution of community-posted shell commands for system configuration and error resolution. Our catchphrase is: Don't hack it. Tweak it. With Tweakengine. *Logo / Branding Graphic* Regarding the graphic itself, some simple filtering or rendering of the word Tweakengine would do the job just fine at this stage. If you are interested, or think you might be interested, email tweakeng...@gmail.com. *Project Requirements on Google Docs* For more about what the team is setting out to achieve, the top level requirements document for the project is available for public viewing on Google Docs. Have a look at the rightmost columns for our latest drafthttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0At_lvT4psTHEdEFIQlc4RVNnNHRzQ0NMQ2lIZ1dJWFEsingle=truegid=1output=html . *Feedback and Getting Involved* All project correspondence is on our Google Groups pagehttps://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/tweakengine. If you have feedback on the requirements document, or would otherwise like to get involved, simply subscribe and start posting! Look forward to hearing from you! Yours Sincerely, Jarrod O'Flaherty.
Problems with mdraid on initrd
Dear list, I recently upgraded to Wheezy a system that has its root filesystem on top of LVM and mdraid, and it gained a problem in booting, in that the initrd calls mdadm to scan for the mdraid devices before the kernel is done with detecting the physical drives on the machine. As such, mdadm sees none of its devices and initializes no arrays, and the initrd doesn't find the root filesystem. I can fix this easily during the boot process by simply waiting for the initrd to drop to a shell, and then scan for the mdraid devices and initialize LVM manually and then let the initrd continue booting, but it would be kinda nice if I didn't have to boot the system manually. :) Why would the initrd do this? What is the mechanism that normally makes the initrd wait for devices to be fully detected, and why doesn't work in this case? Could it have something to do with the fact that I'm running a custom-compiled kernel? -- Fredrik Tolf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
