Bon, je crois que cinnamon 3 va faire l'affaire avec un peu de bricolage

Merci de vos conseils :)

No, it isn't.  It looks like pretty much everything else in
xfce is running, but xfdesktop isn't.

Now I guess I gotta figure out why.  I've been looking for

Stretch Alpha 8 netinst fails

[Michael Owen]

Installation fails installing the base system:

/lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/do_option: line 88

/lib/partman/active_choices/copy/choices: not found

I've tried different hard drives, both installing on a blank drive and a
selected partition and always the exact same error message. I tried the
main Alpha 8 and a daily build...same results.

Hardware is older core 2 duo on SATA drive, nothing esoteric. I've
installed many distros and never got anything like this. Alpha 7
installs fine.

Bonjour,

Je ne comprends pas le débat. Trouves-tu que les thèmes de MATE
deviennent moches parce que basés sur GTK? A noter que outre le fait
qu'on peut en créer, avec MATE, tu peux surtout en personnaliser à
l'infini avec mate-color-select, ainsi que dans l'apparence. AUcun des
thèmes ne te plaît donc?

Thank you Charlie, but those setting are not the problem.  
They are both checked, but the Desktop Menu box only 
determines whether the Applications menu is appended to 
the other items that show up when you right-click.  When
I right-click, nothing shows, whether the box is checked 
or unchecked.  I've changed both of those setting and
my problem never changes.  I have several other machines
(one almost identical except for the debian version) that 
are still on Jessie and on them checking those boxes has 
the expected effect as it did on this on before the 
upgrade, but on this one with version Jessie there simply
is nothing whatsoever that happens when right-clicking on
the desktop.  I wondered if the right mouse buttons was 
not registering at all, but I found that it operates just 
fine when over a panel.

It's a new version of Xfce. The missing boxes are located in :

Desktop Menu -> Include applications menus on desktop right click

Mate n'a certainement pas assez de moyens pour créer un truc de bout en
bout, regarde les difficultés qu'a eu Ubuntu avec Unity, ni même de le
maintenir tout seul.

Ensuite les thèmes il y en a quand même pas qu'un seul, par contre j'ai
l'impression que il manque un peu de gens pour travailler dessus (Pas
simplement pour changer les couleurs ou les icones, mais pour créer un
vrai thème sympa, différent et équilibré de bout en bout, et
debuggué...).

I’m glad you sort of made it work! Interactive camera controls are
indeed behind the -i option in dvgrab. And you’re right, dvgrab can’t
edit, it’s just an acquisition tool.

I tried Kino some 10 years ago. I remember being a bit frustrated by
frequent crashes and editing oddities. Your recommandation made me
curious so I just checked Kino’s website. The last news dates back from
2013 and reads:

In the last years I’ve been using Openshot for simple editing. It proved
quite reliable. I also have an eye on PiTiVi but it still crashes too
often on me. I haven’t tried the others in the list. For more complex
stuff I managed to finish a couple of projects with Cinelerra, which
could be worth considering as an option too.

No right or middle click on XFCE desktop after Upgrade from Jessie to Stretch

[dmacdoug]

Hello,

A month or two ago I moved a certain computer from jessie 
to stretch and after doing so found that neither the right
nor the middle mouse buttons have any effect when clicked 
on the XFCE desktop.  The expected thing happens when
clicking on a panel, but on the desktop, nothing.  To get 
to the applications menu I have to have that button on a
panel and always use it.

I recall vaguely, in past version updates, having the same 
problem and eventually finding a checkbox somehere that 
had come unchecked during the upgrade process, but this 
time I've  searched in vain for a checkbox or any other 
means to reset it.

I've done searches for mention of anyone else having this
problem and found nothing.  I did find people actually 
wanting to disable right clicking on desktop in kiosk 
mode and being told that it's impossible without 
recompiling which makes me wonder how this has happened.

I'm wondering if this is a bug or have I just not yet 
found the proper place to reset something?

You didn't relay what package manager you are using my old friend.


That sounds like something aptitude would do. I've had 2 systems totally 
destroyed by it now, the last one because it assumed an automatic yes 
that I didn't give it.  So I don't trust anything but synaptic-pkexec to 
do the right thing anymore.  The pkexec means you run it as yourself, 
and it will ask you for your passwd to get its root privs, after it 
checks to see if you are in the sudoers file.

Cheers Ric, Gene Heskett

Correct you are! The various incantations used different filters and
one of them worked. I have no idea what filters are and I would die a
happy man without needing to know.

I use Debian testing, so it's whatever kernel and btrfs packages that
were in that as of yesterday.

Makes sense. So why did I get the exact same problem when I enabled
the debug-shell? Unless it's also lying to me, doesn't it boot into a
proper root shell?

Have you checked that the mkdhparams script really did create a new
dhparams.pem? Looking at the man page of mkdhparams indicates that it
does nothing if dhparams.pem exists and is less than 25 days old.

Can you try switching to the virtual console and setting up the RAID
manually using mdadm commands as you would do on a running server?
If that works then a bug against the installer would probably be
appropriate.

I have had partman become massively confused by previous contents of

This sounds like you're looking for debtags, which gives you the ability
to subset packages by different tags. (For example, if you wanted all of
the package management tools:

debtags search admin::package-management;

gives you all of the packages which are involved in package management.)

courier-imap fails

[tony]

I've just upgraded my VPS from Wheezy to Jessie.
Most things work fine, but my mail service has died.

The only clue is in /var/log/mail.info:
imapd-ssl: couriertls: accept: error:14094417:SSL
routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert illegal parameter

It turns out that this was reported in bug #787579, which I think should
have been resolved by now. Googling suggests a work-around: DH_BITS=2048
mkdhparams, but this seems to have little effect. I'm not sure what format
a PEM file should take, but my dhparams.pem is only 201 bytes, which seems
a bit small.

Anyway, can anyone please suggest any remedy, please.

It's how fat/vfat mounts work in Linux.  The file system has no internal
owners, groups or permissions, so the kernel simply assigns them.
By default, all files on a vfat mount show up as root:root 666 and
all directories as root:root 777 as modified by the umask of the
mounting process.  So if you've got a umask of 022 when you mount, then
it's 644 and 755 respectively.  Explicitly specifying a umask in the
fat/vfat mount options overrides that.  See mount(8) for details.

After suspicion arised over data integrity, nothing that is important
can be considered ok before it has been tested.

All that is known yet is that the disk doesn't boot MS-Windows any more
and that attached to the GNU/Linux machine no bad blocks were reported
by ddrescue.
Between both facts, any kind of filesystem corruption or file content
corruption is still possible.

I hadn't appreciated that you're entirely desktop oriented.
As for myself, there's no DNS service here, no dotty addresses
at all as I have no domain name to call my own, here.
Hence also no point in DNS-queries, but I can shut exim up
by letting it make pointless lookups. I don't have a clue whether
my router bothers to ask 8.8.8.8 for dotless requests.

OTOH I own a domain name 3000 miles away which has no ISP-type
connection with me at all; it's the destination for emails bound
for me, so it's kind of important that exim rewrites that my
emails come from its address.

Again, correct for me is no dots. As you can see from my headers, my
email all goes out through alum (unless I'm on the road).

Well, I don't see how a smarthost can enforce a dotty address unless
they issue you with a valid one. I can't put myself onto .cox.net
unilaterally, so unless I use the nonce domain name that is constructed
from the IP address (which could change at any time), I don't have
a FQDN except alum.

I assume Cox authenticate me by the physical wire I appear on. Maybe
they even check the MAC of the modem, though I'm not forced to use
theirs. When I'm on the road, I obviously use my own domain name for
the smarthost, but then I have to use a different port and a password.
Still no dotty HELO/EHLO though.

Cheers,
David.

The last time I looked at dvgrab, it had no camera controls, but I'll 
have to admit that was several years ago. But can it edit? kino can.

Odd, I can't find it in the tde menu's, but synaptic says it is 
installed, but no docs. So I turned on the camera, and ran it from the 
cli. I found the camera, and generated a file, but it never started the 
camera in playback mode. Ack the manpage it needed a -i option. And I 
see that Dan Dennedy wrote both, so its possible that kino uses dvgrab 
to do the capture,  Interesting.  And you, Victor, should look at 
kino. :)

Thanks.

It was the point of David Wright's mail and wouldn't have hurt. Also, it

A common misconception, no. It is the domain name used to qualify mail
addresses without a domain name. Mail to brian would get sent as
br...@eeg.ccf.org.

You typed it in. Unless another program had configured /etc/mailname
already. /etc/resolv.conf doesn't come into it.

That umask looks odd. It should be set to the bits whose permission
you want to withhold. umask=022 would be a sensible choice as it
allows you to remount rw later, but still protect all files from
being written to except by the owner. (Yes, yes, I know, noone else
uses this machine...)

Aren't we getting carried away a bit? We have a "defective" drive
(also described as "flaky") that has been copied satisfactorily, is
reportedly "unreliable" and in "bad shape", and has "unidentified
problems" on the first partition which was running windows.
IIRC the only problem reported was that XP refused to boot.
The OP has signed his disclaimer (above) so there's no need to
be pessimistic about the data at this stage, is there.

So do I from years past. But I found the web page with a list of kino's 
tools that kino uses, and installed all that would, and now the export 
menu is all alive and apparently well..

But, it turns out that aliexpress/alibaba has a broken refund request 
page, it takes all the data, including the filename of a 220 
megabyte .avi I went to the trouble of making, but at the top of the 
page, where you are supposed to be able to click on "open a dispute" and 
fill out the rest of the page, those buttons do not respond, nor do they 
indicate why.  So I am screwed, and will have to contest the charge on 
my card. Except my bank can't either for that charge, I just called 
them..

This is the 3rd time I've been screwed, total now north of $125, by this 
outfit over the last couple years, aliexpress/alibaba.  It will NOT 
happen again.

Of course not.  Why would I do that?  I'm not on dialup.  I'm on a

Isn't that controlled by the "System mail name" option?  As you can
see, mine is set to eeg.ccf.org.  Whether this is something I typed
into exim config by hand long ago, or something that it picked up
by itself from /etc/resolv.conf, I can no longer remember.

Indeed.  A mail server should be properly configured, not just left as

the same.  The machine I believe you refer to is this one:

wooledg@wooledg:~$ hostname
wooledg
wooledg@wooledg:~$ hostname -f
wooledg

This is a dual-boot Windows/Debian workstation on my desk at work.

Here's the /etc/hosts:

wooledg@wooledg:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1   wooledg


Exim wants to see a fqdn in the 127.0.1.1 line, written as specified in
hosts(5):

 IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]

The canonical_hostname is used for the HELO/EHLO.


Default, can be overridden by the primary_hostname configuration, which 
can be overridden again by helo_data in individual transports.


My mail server's hostname does not exist in public DNS, like many small 
mail servers it is behind NAT, not directly exposed to the Net. My 
public MX hostname is not the same as the server's hostname.


Also exim4 can handle mail for multiple domains, using a separate HELO 
for each if required, and the per-transport setting allows even finer 
HELO control if you have a use for that.




With most large ISPs
it is not taken much notice of but there are servers which (rightly or
wrongly) would do a reverse lookup on wooledg and, getting a negative
response, reject the mail. Basically, you will get away with the line
you have when you use an understanding smarthost. I think Postfix
could behave in the same way.



That's fairly common, the exim4 default if enabled is to check that the 
HELO is resolvable at all, not that it matches anything specific. It's a 
few years since I last did it, but when I used telnet to talk to remote 
mail servers I used a well-known six character domain name as HELO to 
save typing, one to which I had no entitlement, and nothing ever complained.

Backing up update-exim4.conf.conf would have been sufficient.

It would be if "Keep number of DNS-queries minimal?" was "No".  



It would also happily send a string without dots as the HELO.   

Whether the remote server is happy is another matter.

This reply is the second one I've sent to your mail. The first was sent
after removing canonical_hostname from /etc/hostame. 'hostname -f' said
"desktop". The first mail was rejected by ldo:

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT

A quick check with the useful command 'hostname -f' revealed the problem.

How to execute another login process in a different virtual terminal, where
To enter the chroot directly. And run X and GNOME in your
Chroot. In Debian 8 with systemd


3. Establishing access or login
Run chroot / sid / it is simple, but maintains all kinds of environment
variables around you may not want,
and some other things. A much better approach is to run another login
process on a virtual terminal
different, where you can enter the chroot directly.
1. In the main system, edit the / etc / inittab, searching and modifying
the following lines:
# Note that most Debian tty7 systems used for the system
# X window (X Windows System). If desired, therefore, add more access
# In text mode (FIXME gettys) keep adding lines like this but
# Skip the tty7 if you run X.
#
1: 2345: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty1
2: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty2
3: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty3
4: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty4
5: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty5
6: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty6
2. Now, add a line similar to the following:
8: 23: respawn: chroot / sid / / sbin / getty 38400 tty8
"8" refers to the end in which the new access (login) will run. You can
choose another if you
desired.
3. Restart init:
init q
4Installation a system Debian chroot
4. Configuring gdm
Would you like to run X and GNOME in your chroot? It's totally possible!
The following example will make GDM run
in the virtual terminal 8; You should select another (such as 9) if you
have already configured to run on vt8 login in
example above. Below you are what to do:
1. (enter your chroot, either chroot / sid / or login previously
configured)
apt-get install gnome gdm x-window-system
2. Copy your / etc / X11 / XF86Config-4 from the host to chroot
environment, such as:
cp / etc / X11 / XF86Config-4 / sid / etc / X11 / XF86Config-4
3. Then enter the chroot again and edit the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
within it. Scroll down to the
[servers] section. You will see a line like:
0 = Standard vt7
Change that line to:
0 = Standard vt8
Again, substitute 8 virtual terminal you want instead of "8".
4. And, still in the chroot, run:
/etc/init.d/gdm start
Now you can switch between your chroot environment X and X environment
your main system simply switching
Tando as you would in Linux virtual terminals; for example, using Ctrl +
Alt + F7 and Ctrl + Alt + F8. Diviér-

With 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' the message

 "Starting MTA:hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name,
 dc_minimaldns will not work. Please fix your /etc/hosts setup."

should appear if "yes" is chosen for the option. 'hostname -f' is useful
for checking there is a sane hosts configuration for exim to use.

Here's the contents of /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

Both looked normal to me and, without knowing more about the structure

it runs and finishes without complaining, but syslog doesn't seem to
get smaller. I think it just kept getting bigger.

I'm running a 4.8.0-1-amd64 kernel. I'm on the testing branch. It
makes me feel better knowing that it may be a btrfs bug (or at least
not part of the Linux design) since that's a rough edge I can (try to)
work around by checking /var every so often. Still, "A Cowboy's Guide
to Cleaning /var and /tmp" would help in cases where some process gets
greedy with space.

I don't think it's that, unless smartctl is lying to me. It passes all
of the test and the only historical failure (which I think has almost
always been there) is an airflow warning. Error logs are empty. If I
start getting strange behaviour, I can do a more comprehensive SMART
scan.

Nothing seems on point here. My configuration is btrfs partitions
within an LVM within an MBR hard drive. I'm not doing any fancy RAID
or anything.

wooledg@wooledg:~$ hostname

wooledg@wooledg:~$ hostname -f

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters


The hostname is defined in DNS (originally I just let it have a dynamic
IP address and dealt with that, but later I arranged for it to have
a non-changing IP address, for reasons beyond the scope of this email;
but in all cases, DNS always had a working "A" record).

It looks like this one is running exim:

wooledg@wooledg:~$ ps -ef | grep exim
Debian-+   949 1  0 Nov14 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
wooledg  10865  2007  0 07:53 pts/400:00:00 grep exim

I never saw any errors like the one you showed, perhaps because exim
used my default search domain (from /etc/resolv.conf) and found a sane
DNS configuration, or perhaps because this machine is in a very simple
"send to smarthost only" mode.  I don't really know exim very well.

I have other systems that run qmail (locally installed), and even one
that runs sendmail (part of the hosting provider's original image,
and I never bothered to replace it).  The only major MTA with which I
have absolutely no experience at all is postfix.

A coarse test would be to mount the partitions and to let some archiver
crawl the tree to read the content of each data file.

Create a mount point for the partition to be tested:

  mkdir /mnt/partition

Then with each of the copied partition files /mnt/my_sdb6/my_sdc* do:

  mount -o loop,ro,nodev,noexec,nosuid /mnt/my_sdb6/my_sdc1 /mnt/partition

  tar cf - /mnt/partition | wc -c

  umount /mnt/partition

If tar does not report i/o errors and wc tells a plausible byte count,
then all might be well.

mounting has to be done as superuser, of course.
man 8 mount paragraph "Mount options for ntfs" says that you will have
to do the tar part as superuser, unless you assign it at mount time
to a less powerful user id. I read from the manual something like:
  -o loop,ro,nodev,noexec,nosuid,uid=NORMAL_USER_ID,umask=400
but have no ntfs to test whether this makes all file readable for the
desktop user of whom you obtained the number NORMAL_USER_ID by:
  echo $UID


Does somebody know an entertaining filter in Debian, which one could put
between tar and wc to see a progress counter ?


Not so easy to test:
- The file content may still be damaged on application level (e.g. zeros
  where other data should be).
- Important parts of the tree may be missing.


Have a nice day :)

Re: Movie problem

[Victor A. Stoichita]

Hi Gene,

Camera is a Sony Digital Hi-8 Handycam, firewire interface. 
Raw video is bulky as its a digital format, full resolution of 
720x480.  so its close to 6 gigabytes a running minute when 
captured over the  firewire port. 

The only movie editor we have, that can also control this camera 
for  start/stop/capture etc, is kino. No other movie prosessing 
utility we  have has ever been in the same county as a firewire 
port


Did you try dvgrab? https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/dvgrab 
That’s what I use in commandline to capture Raw DV from my camera 
over firewire. I have an oldish Panasonic DV camera. Dvgrab knows 
perfectly how to start/stop it. I think dvgrab actually has some 
link to kino or the other way round.




Web submission site at aliexpress.com has no clue what to do 
with a a  raw-dv file and refuses to take it as an 
evidence submission. 

Kino, as in running on a fully uptodate wheezy, apparently can't 
find  ffmpeg to make the conversion when I attempt to export 
this 1 minutes  worth of raw-dv format video.  ffmpeg and all 
its friends are installed.  But in kino, the whole page of mpeg4 
options is ghosted out.


To convert from DV to mpeg4 you can use avidemux. It’s available 
on debian-multimedia.org, but it’s also easy to build it yourself 
if you don’t want to add a repo. Instructions here: 
http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=build:install_2.6 
There’s an option to build directly a deb file. That’s what I use. 
Note that currently only the Qt interface seems to work on Jessie 
(GTK one segfaults at startup at least for me). Avidemux comes 
with its own implementation of ffmpeg. IIRC you must build and 
install its plugins too if you want mpeg4 conversion.


In avidemux, the settings I use to get an acceptable mp4 for the 
web are: MPEG4-AVC for the video, AAC for audio, and of course MP4 
as a container.


I hope it helps. Good luck!

No one else receiving this issue either?

OK after doing more research it seems that one had to use one of keyservers to
download the Debian Key - For some reason the procedure has changed and I missed
being informed prior to doing a new install.

Apparently the last 8 chars of the key being spewed out as being needed by apt 
are
the ID set needed. So, '8B48AD6246925553' can be shortened to '46925553'. 

Furthermore, research informs me that the following line should work to import
this key into the right place for apt: 

'gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv 46925553; gpg --export --armor 46925553 | 
sudo
apt-key add -' 

which after approx a minute returns this output: 

'gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
gpg: Warning: 1 key skipped due to its large size
gpg: Warning: 1 key skipped due to its large size
OK'

So, I'm stuck. Granted I used an alpha installer for the 'testing' distribution,
but shouldn't the signing key be installed by default?
I have since changed my sources to SID, with the same result. Can anyone offer
suggestions? Thanks.

First, you mentioned the crucial bit of information (that it's a btrfs
filesystem) only at the end. Also, you've left out important things such
as your running kernel and (to a lesser extent) version of btrfs-tools
(or btrfs-progs in newer systems).

There's a little trap around the last versions of Debian and ffmpeg.
The default for ffmpeg changed from ffmpeg to libav and back (I can't
remember at exactly which version).

This may or may not contribute to yout kino problem.

Otherwise, you might try to convert your video from the command line.
Ffmpeg's man page seems daunting at first, but it's worth it, since
most GUI video programs I've seen are extremely idiosyncratic. Either
you fit the way they work or you're SOL (I don't fit most).

Just ask if you need some help taming ffmpeg's command line (I'm
no expert -- by a very long shot, but already carry some scars :-)

Yes, this is right. The problem is not 'rm', the problem is that you use
sudo without understanding why it is set up like that: sudo logs the
command it executes to /var/log/auth.log

Bizarre graphical glitch with Gnome3 on after last update on testing

[Pavlos Parissis]

Hoi,

I pulled down yesterday kernel (4.8.5) and Gnome (3.22.1-> 3.22.2) upgrades, and
since then I get graphical glitches when switch between screens. It is very
difficult to make a screen-shot of them, sorry. The issue appeared after the 
reboot.

I have a laptop with Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics and I have 2
external monitors connected to it. T

Has anyone seen this?

Cheers,
Pavlos

Aha! brtfs!

It sounds like btrfs specific behaviour. It would be interesting to know
what kernel version and btrfs version you were using, if only to confirm
my suspicion that even the versions in Debian are not suitable for use in
production.

I'm going to guess that it was a series of 'btrfs balance' commands that
fixed things for you.

How to execute another login process in a different virtual terminal, where To enter the chroot directly. And run X and GNOME in your Chroot. In Debian 8 with systemd

[R Calleja]

Good morning, thank you very much for the help of the attached document.
You can tell me how it's done
with systemd in debian 8.3
Thank you very much, Robert.

How to execute another login process in a different virtual terminal, where
To enter the chroot directly. And run X and GNOME in your
Chroot. In Debian 8 with systemd


3. Establishing access or login
Run chroot / sid / it is simple, but maintains all kinds of environment
variables around you may not want,
and some other things. A much better approach is to run another login
process on a virtual terminal
different, where you can enter the chroot directly.
1. In the main system, edit the / etc / inittab, searching and modifying
the following lines:
# Note that most Debian tty7 systems used for the system
# X window (X Windows System). If desired, therefore, add more access
# In text mode (FIXME gettys) keep adding lines like this but
# Skip the tty7 if you run X.
#
1: 2345: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty1
2: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty2
3: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty3
4: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty4
5: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty5
6: 23: respawn: / sbin / getty 38400 tty6
2. Now, add a line similar to the following:
8: 23: respawn: chroot / sid / / sbin / getty 38400 tty8
"8" refers to the end in which the new access (login) will run. You can
choose another if you
desired.
3. Restart init:
init q
4Installation a system Debian chroot
4. Configuring gdm
Would you like to run X and GNOME in your chroot? It's totally possible!
The following example will make GDM run
in the virtual terminal 8; You should select another (such as 9) if you
have already configured to run on vt8 login in
example above. Below you are what to do:
1. (enter your chroot, either chroot / sid / or login previously
configured)
apt-get install gnome gdm x-window-system
2. Copy your / etc / X11 / XF86Config-4 from the host to chroot
environment, such as:
cp / etc / X11 / XF86Config-4 / sid / etc / X11 / XF86Config-4
3. Then enter the chroot again and edit the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
within it. Scroll down to the
[servers] section. You will see a line like:
0 = Standard vt7
Change that line to:
0 = Standard vt8
Again, substitute 8 virtual terminal you want instead of "8".
4. And, still in the chroot, run:
/etc/init.d/gdm start
Now you can switch between your chroot environment X and X environment
your main system simply switching
Tando as you would in Linux virtual terminals; for example, using Ctrl +
Alt + F7 and Ctrl + Alt + F8. Diviér-
tase!
