Lisi,

Thanks for pointing this out, but I think my proble is
gone. CUPS is behaving much better than I've ever seen. Its OK
with me if 'my' thread is hijacked now.

Happy camper,

Re: temporarily disable shutdown

[David Wright]

Quoting Matthias Bodenbinder (matth...@bodenbinder.de):
> [...] And even on the commandline a "poweroff" is still successfully executed.

You haven't said whether the commandline is being typed on a console
VC, or remotely. It makes a big difference. For example:

jessiebox ~$ ls -l /sbin/poweroff 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Feb 13 05:45 /sbin/poweroff -> /bin/systemctl
jessiebox ~$ /sbin/poweroff
 AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.login1.power-off ===
Authentication is required for powering off the system.
Authenticating as: root
Password:← typed root's password
 AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ===
jessiebox ~$ Connection to jessiebox closed by remote host.
Connection to jessiebox closed.
wheezybox ~$ ls -l /sbin/poweroff 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 17  2013 /sbin/poweroff -> halt
wheezybox ~$ ls -l /sbin/halt 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13848 Jul 17  2013 /sbin/halt
wheezybox ~$ /sbin/poweroff
poweroff: must be superuser.
wheezybox ~$ 

So wheezy just runs a binary that checks for root.

Jessie (running systemd) makes me authenticate if I'm remote, but will
shutdown straightaway if I type the command on the console. Which is
reasonable since all I have to do otherwise is press CtrlAltDel or the
power button to achieve the same effect.

Cheers,
David.

Thanks to all, especially the ones with candid remarks about my
writing. I will try to improve.

The problem must have been fixed in some package in the last batch of
bug fix packages from the release team. Now I can't reproduce the
malfunction that I was seeing a few days ago. It was software, because
the only hardware that I changed during that time was Memorex PS3 mouse
and there are some explanations I cannot abide.

Well, it might help to know what software you're trying to connect
with, and where you are: in a café or at home. If you're at home, I'd
would have thought it unlikely that you (or houses around) are running
a wifi Access Point without encryption.

I use wicd myself. If I look at the APs listed, move down the list
with ↓ and then press →, the configuration for that AP screen will
have the "Use Encryption" box checked if the AP was listed as
requiring it (which, in my living room, they all are). It's then a
matter of using ↓ to move down to the line marked "Key:" and typing in
the key (set at the router/AP).

An unsecured AP will show the "Use Encryption" box unchecked.

As the wifi connections are per machine rather than per user, the
passwords are stored in /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf so a new
installation would require you to copy this file over (as root) to get
the immediate automatic connectivity you're used to.

I assume that other software does much the same sort of thing. They
might vary in their ability to display a password to the ordinary user
in the configuration screen above. Wicd gives a little privacy in that
the stored key shows as asterisks unless you move the cursor down to
the "Key:" line itself.

Cheers,
David.

I was just making sure I could kill a job gone wild without having to 
become root on a rootless system to do it. My color laser would have 
wasted 40 sheets of paper while I was gaining access rights.

Root was inherited from a previous config, and gene is the operative that 
lets me do admin stuff.  It is my machine. :) Thats also why I appended 
the network/security part of my msg.  Its terrible practice if the 
machine is connected directly to the modem.

Gah, Mike's been playing again, or someone at debian.  What was wrong

As for Mike, I've known him since he was DodgeColt on Delphi.

The dnssd showed up sometime after I'd set the printer up at a local 
ethernet address, I didn't make a conscious effort to add it.  Bad 
assumption on my part?

The originator of this thread has Jessie on two machines. So that will
be where *his* focus is. Printing on Wheezy and Jessie has distinctly
different characteristics to merit pointing them out.

Turns out this was a (shot?) systemd issue. After reinstalling it my setup 
works as expected: eth/wlan managed by NM (as nos present in 
/etc/network/interfaces), tun/br come up and are not NM managed.

root doesn't need to be in SystemGroup. There might be a good reason for
the presence of group gene but I cannot think of one.

The default for Group and User on Debian is lp. gene and sys seem to be
superfluous.

This is almost the standard Wheezy, It will not suffice on Jessie. The

NetworkManger: Prioritize interfaces for default route

[Bernd Naumann]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

on my debian stable laptop I use default installed Networkmanger to
use different networks over the day.

Besides regular dhcp-client on eth0 and wlan0, I have presets for
differnt LAN setups, to access openwrt failsafed devices.

Also for my test/devel routers I have different ethernet configurations.


I wanted to configure NetworkManger to handle wlan0 as my primary
interface for having the the default route.

The behaviour of NetworkManger is that it will always use eth0.

So if I plugin and plugout an ethernet cable NetworkManger resets the
default route and all my connections to the outside world is cut and I
have to re-establish this connections, which is time consuming and
annoying ...

So the only thing I can now image is to use a dispatcher script to
'reset' the default route after a interface connects or disconnects.

But I thing I will miss some packages while the interface reconfigures?
And this all over sounds not like a good idea.

I want to switch ethernet connects while in a wifi network, like I can
now switch wifi networks while connected to a ethernet network without
any interruptions to 0.0.0.0.

Are there any suggestions for such a setup on a desktop?

Bernd

I am getting the impression that the overall install on both doesn't have 
the correct Browsing options set, from this machine which serves all 
available printers to the rest of the machines on my local network (I am 
behind a router running dd.wrt so its pretty wide open here, with all 
addresses set in host files at an not well used class c address in the 
192.168 class B block. security by obscurity and NAT rules in the 
router).

The Browsing section of the cupsd.conf of this machine:
(comments excised for some reason unk to me)
LogLevel warn
SystemGroup lpadmin root gene
Group sys gene
User lp gene
Port 631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd
DefaultAuthType Basic

And from one of the machines that can use the printers

I'm afraid that I gave up trying to read it.  Made worse from my point of view

Many thanks, Andreas, for you quick reply.

I "prefixed" all occurences of the ACL condition spam now with

add_header = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report

  # add second subject line with *SPAM* marker when message

spam = Debian-exim

xmodmap question

[Petter Adsen]

I've been playing with xmodmap to change the comma on the numpad
(Norwegian layout) to a period, as I mainly use the numpad for entering
IP addresses. According to the man page, section "Expression Grammar",
the first keysym is for the key with no modifier, and a second is for
the key with Shift as a modifier.

However, when I run 'xmodmap -e "keycode 91=period"', the key simply
"dies", it no longer outputs anything, although 'xmodmap -pk' lists it
as set to "period". If I run 'xmodmap -e "keycode 91=period period"',
it works just fine (although it also sets it with Shift, but I don't
mind that).

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I just change the keysym to be sent
without a modifier?

No, local_scan_timeout and the spam ACL are not related. See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-adding_a_local_scan_function_to_exim.html
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-content_scanning_at_acl_time.html#SECTscanspamass

Usually this error happens when large messages are passed to
spamassassin, best practice is to limit the message size of messages
passed on to spamassassin.

If you run "xev -event keyboard", focus the window and press some of

A search with "kernel bug at /build/" reveals a number of reports

   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756714

Maybe.

I'm reading that javascript is either enabled or it isn't (single global
setting).

You might try Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" (here
it actually says "Open Directory" rather than "Show Folder"--it's your
profile directory). Open prefs.js in a text editor and look for
javascript preferences that contain the words capability and noAccess
(search for 'capab'). 

You might also try the problem sites in Safe Mode, "the classic
diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions and custom
settings."

Good luck.

After upgrade to jessie usb keyboard multimedia keys stopped working

[deloptes]

Hi
as the title says I am unable to use the multimedia keys on the keyboard
since upgrade to jessie.
Do you have any hint, because all I find is information on how to fix the
multimedia keys in general, which is of no use.
On the notebook the multimedia keys (Volume Up/Down and Mute) work fine, but
on the external USB keyboard they stopped working.
I see evdev in Xorg.0.log and information related to the usb keyboard.

Thanks in advance

This does NOT work. I tested it with debian testing.
It does not prevent shutdown through hte KDE GUI. And even on the commandline a 
"poweroff" is still successfully executed.

Hi
long mails are not easy to read and understand. Most important is the
quality of information in it ... like model number or chipset in the
hardware you use etc.

I had similar experience with usb2parallel cable. Actually I am using 2 old
printers with 2 different cables. The one does not have an issue. The other
does and since upgrade to wheezy and later to jessie. I had to fix the same
issue for the worse cable, where the chip does not communicate the proper
port to the system. The solution was to update printers.conf manually and
put there
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/usb/lp0
or whatever port your cable is using

For the other issue how - that you can not connect the cable to the
printer - use parallel port cable extention.

I hope this helps

regards

spam acl condition: error reading from spamd socket: Connection timed out

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

I get from time to time this error message on my spamassassin+exim4 setup:

2015-03-26 20:46:22 1YbDhW-00062f-G2 spam acl condition: error reading from 
spamd socket: Connection timed out

I suspect that on this virtual machine, sometimes there are really long 
processing times.

I am wondering if 
local_scan_timeout
is the right parameter to modify.

Many thanks and kind regards
Rainer

I have a thought.

The problem could lie with the particular web sites.

Some web sites spout erroneous error messages.

For some web sites, in web browsers with javascript enabled, I get an
error message stating
"Javascript appears to be disabled in your web browser"
which is, in some instances, completely wrong.

Similarly, with some web sites, I get the error message
"Cookies appear to be disabled in your web browser"
which is completely wrong. One of the web sites that gives this
erroneous error message, is the gmail web site, which is badly
written. But then, that is google, where quality is regarded as
unneeded.

So, as you get the error message with some web sites, and, especially,
not with all web sites (although, fortunately, not all web sites are
written using the sinister javascript), I suggest that the problem may
lie with the web sites that display the error message, as being badly
written. Unfortunately, badly written (as in faulty) web sites, appear
to be steadiily increasing, and, threatening to take over the web.

Just a thought...
