I'm in Stretch Testing using Xfce4. Mine got zapped a while back. I
hadn't stopped to nose around about it until just yesterday. This
might not work for your problem, but I found mine are now at
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/. It's possible system images have
always been there, but for this very second, that appeared to be the
only place my personal images would also work.

Mine used to be under my /home/[user]/Pictures (~/Pictures) directory.
If I try to change my images via either "Settings > Desktop" or right
click on the desktop, that directory and many others are now faded
out/washed out/blanked out in that way our systems do so that
something is not clickable.

There must be something more to it. Or not? Maybe there's a quick
toggle somewhere? Or not.

For a single user with control over their own computer, it's no big
deal to take that few extra seconds to throw something in that
directory using [root] privileges. For an office full of users who
might want to personalize their respective desktops with family photos
or ski trip memories, it becomes a royal pain.

As an almost afterthought, there's always the possibility that what's
happening in my case is about installing and removing various packages
over time. Or not, grin.

This was another of those that rated a priority level of "Annoying"
for me. It wasn't critical to the functioning of my computer, and I
figure that feature may have been redesigned by... conscious design.

Desktop Background Bites the Dust

[Michael Milliman]

I have no clue what happened, but the desktop background picture has
ceased to be displayed. I'm not even sure where to look to troubleshoot
the problem.  The salient information is: OS is fully updated Testing,
MATE desktop environment.  I have attempted to re-set the desktop
background via both system settings and via right-click->set desktop
background on the desktop to no effect.  Thinking that probably the
issue was associated with my normal login (the only one on the system),
I created a new user from root terminal and logged in with newly created
skeleton home folder; the problem persisted with the new user, so it is
a system-wide issue.  Past that, I have no clue.  Any ideas/help will be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

You don't write your debian version, or even if you *are* running
debian. Presumably you do, since you write here!

If you're running stretch, maybe it is because the recent update to
initramfs-tools messing with the RESUME variable?

As Andy Smith wrote mdadm is using the metadata particularly UUID

blkid /dev/md4
/dev/md4: UUID="b426722d-ec49-4c6b-a638-5941f24debfd" TYPE="swap"


Watch out that you update your mdadm.conf file 

man mdadm.conf

and don't forget to update initrd after changing if you boot from raid,
because it is using the conf file to assemble the disks at boot time.

There are the so called snapshots, which you can make and then include in
your back up.  No need to down the VM.

There is also generally no problem with licenses after reinstall as soon as
you have your activation key or the OEMs disks/dvds. On most computers sold
with windows the key is a sticker somewhere at the back, bottom or
whatever.

VMs come with a penalty in performance and functionality, but assuming
Vectorworks runs on the pure windows machine it may run in VM, it could be
though that it is missing some features ... you better check this first -
for example if there are people using this product in VM and what kind of
hardware they use, what kind of VM they use etc.

netfilter related regression in linux-image 3.16.43-2?

[Tomaž Šolc]

Dear all,

after upgrading a mail server to the recent 8.8 Jessie point release my
monitoring showed a significantly decreased amount of inbound SMTP
traffic. Specifically, after rebooting for kernel upgrade from
linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 to 3.16.43-2

I found that a large number of outgoing SYN-ACK packets were being
dropped by netfilter:

[BLOCKED:OUTPUT] IN= OUT=ppp0 SRC=x.x.x.x DST=y.y.y.y LEN=60 TOS=0x00
PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=25 DPT=45809 WINDOW=28800
RES=0x00 ACK SYN URGP=0

[BLOCKED:OUTPUT] IN= OUT=ppp0 SRC=x.x.x.x DST=z.z.z.z LEN=52 TOS=0x00
PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=25 DPT=61847 WINDOW=29040
RES=0x00 ECE ACK SYN URGP=0

Here, x.x.x.x is my server's IPv4 address, y.y.y.y, z.z.z.z are
addresses of two hosts attempting to deliver mail.

Relevant part of iptables config (the idea being that outbound TCP
connections are not allowed from this host except for some well known
destination ports):

$IPTB -P OUTPUT DROP
$IPTB -A OUTPUT -p tcp -o $IF_UPL -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED
-j ACCEPT
$IPTB -A OUTPUT -p tcp -o $IF_UPL -m multiport --dports smtp,... -m
state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

$IPTB -P INPUT DROP
$IPTB -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports smtp,... -j ACCEPT

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this in a controlled environment. My
test connections using telnet and netcat go through normally and it
appears some mail is in fact normally delivered. Other IPv4 TCP services
on the same host (e.g. ssh) do not seem affected. I also saw no IPv6
connections with this problem. I'm using Exim MTA (which was not
upgraded recently and it's probably not relevant).

The following quick fix appeared to work around the problem:

iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -p tcp --sport smtp -j ACCEPT

I later reverted back to kernel 3.16.39-1+deb8u2. This also apparently
fixed the problem (I see no more blocked packets).

I see some entries for netfilter in the linux-image changelog, but none
seem particularly relevant:

- netfilter: restart search if moved to other chain
- netfilter: nft_exthdr: Add size check on u8 nft_exthdr attributes
- netfilter: nf_tables: validate maximum value of u32 netlink attributes
- netfilter: nf_tables: underflow in nft_parse_u32_check()
- netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: extend request line validation
- netfilter: nf_tables: fix type mismatch with error return from
- netfilter: nf_tables: destroy the set if fail to add transaction
- netfilter: arp_tables: fix invoking 32bit "iptable -P INPUT ACCEPT"
- netfilter: rpfilter: fix incorrect loopback packet judgment
- netfilter: nft_log: restrict the log prefix length to 127

I would appreciate any help how to debug this. The firewall config on
this host is quite old, but as far as I can see, it should still work
with the latest kernel.

I don't want to file a bug at the moment, since I can't reproduce the
problem. But relationship between kernel upgrades and downgrades and the
appearance of dropped SYN-ACK packets in the log seem very clear.

Best regards
Tomaž

Any serious problem with this command would mean there had been an utter
and complete breakdown in the CUPS printing system. Nobody would have
a hope of printing.

Now do 'lpinfo -v' with the printer plugged into the USB port. Look for
"direct usb://" and alter the command in 7 to

 lpadmin -p ML191x -v usb:// -E -m lsb/usr/custom/Samsung_ML-191x_Series.ppd

ML191x should now be shown in the printing dialogs of applications. Can
you print from an application or with

 lp -d ML191x /etc/nsswitch ?

I have the file. Its contents are in out.prn. You get to see it when you
successfully print out.prn.

ML192x.ppd is a typo.

The device might be /dev/usb/lp1. Plug the printer in and out and monitor
/dev/usb/.

Re: SATA hotplug + mdadm raid

[Andy Smith]

Hi Sam,

It doesn't matter what your devices are called. In fact you are best
advised to avoid use of the /dev/sd* names where possible as these
names may change for reasons other than drives being hotplugged. For
example if your storage controller needs a module to detect drives,
then order of module loading may affect device naming.

Try to use the paths in /dev/disk/by-id/ or similar.

mdadm itself recognises array component devices by its own metadata
so does not care what they are called (as long as you haven't told
mdadm to ignore those device names).

The only thing you might want to check out is whether your BIOS is
going to see a bootloader on the drive it tries to boot from next
time.

Cheers,
Andy

It doesn't matter that much. Use this:

mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sda1
mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/whatever1

then check on progress with cat /proc/mdstat

Don't get me wrong, but the interesting part is that this has already been the

SATA hotplug + mdadm raid

[Sam Smith]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my home server to an HP ml30 tower server. It came 
with a 4 drive hotplug SATA cage. I loaded two old unused drives in it 
and installed Debian Stretch on it putting the drives in a software 
raid1 via the debian installer. My plan was once I got the new box up 
and running that I would shut off the old machine and use the drives 
from that, swapping them out one at a time and letting mdadm resync.


Before putting the new box into "production", I pulled the 2nd drive 
(sdb) to see what would happen (with the machine still running). Of 
course mdadm went into degraded mode with a one disk raid1. I slid the 
same drive back in and it came back as /dev/sdb. Later on, after a few 
reboots, I pulled the 2nd drive and swapped it with a drive from the old 
machine (it was also still up and running with mdadm raid1). However 
this time the new drive didn't come up as sdb, but as /dev/sdc. I set up 
the partitions the same as sda but I didn't join it to the mdadm array 
yet. I wasn't sure if joining as "sdc" and then on reboot having it come 
up possibly as "sdb" would mess up anything so I just rebooted. On 
reboot it came up as "sdb" and I joined it to the array and all was well.


But I still need to swap the first drive (sda) and I don't really want 
to have to reboot this time. So what can I do to ensure that once I pull 
the old drive and put in the new one that it comes back up as "sda"? Or 
does that even matter? (seems like it would..)

Samuel Smith

Debian Developers Have Been Listening!

[Patrick Bartek]

A while ago, I initiated the "If Linux Is About Choice ..." thread
about why there is no choice of inits during an initial install.

Since that time, I've tested several systemd-less distros[1] as well as
Stretch as replacements for my aging Wheezy system.  With Stretch my
plan was to see if I could replace systemd as the init without removing
it just leaving its components (some or all as necessary) to meet
dependencies without it breaking the system  That way there would be no
need for third party repos or jumping through hoops to keep a
systemd-less working. I figured it would be a somewhat difficult, time
consuming process. However, I made a discovery during these tests: The
Debian developers had already done it for me.  They made switching from
systemd as the init to sysvinit or runit easy just by issuing a couple
commands. Here's what you do.

First, install Stretch as you normally would, systemd, et al.  I chose
LXDE for the GUI as it has no direct systemd dependencies, and it uses
Openbox as the window manager which I normally use in lieu of a desktop
environment anyway.  This was quicker and easier testing-wise than
starting with a terminal-based system as I normally would, and building
up from there.

To switch to sysvinit, as root:

  apt-get install sysvinit-core

and reboot.  Done!  systemd components are still on the hard drive,
except systemd-sysv has been removed.  There is also no systemd
supervision either as far as I can tell.

To switch to runit-init is an easy 2-step process.  Do a standard
install as before.[2]  Then add runit supervision first before
installing runit-init. As root:

  apt-get install runit-systemd

reboot, then

  apt-get install runit-init

Reboot. Done!  The latter command removes systemd-sysv during the
install.

These new init set ups survive apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade even if
systemd components are upgraded.  Systemd as init does not get
reactivated.  Tested and verified.  I can find no systemd pinning
either.

I now have two Stretch systems running in VirtualBox.  One a full LXDE
desktop using runit for both the init and supervision, and the other
with just Openbox and lxpanel as the GUI, and sysvinit and runit for
supervison. No problems at all with either.

I'd like to understand your answer a little better, in particular, why you 
have no issues with Windows licensing.

As background, I remember when (although I'm pretty sure I had already 
switched to LInux), Microsoft started the policy of making it difficult to 
upgrade a system without possibly buying a new Windows license.  I never did 
it (under that policy), but iir/uc, if you did certain upgrades to a system, 
your Windows would stop working, and you'd have to call them to get some kind 
of code or whatever, or, they might tell you that they consider that so much 
of an upgrade that they'd insist you buy a new copy of Windows.

As to those certain things, I don't recall that either, but could include 
things like disk, video card, processor and / or mother board upgrades.

So that is what I'm concerned about.

Maybe I should ask, how did you get Windows on the system you are discussing--
I mean, did you buy the machine with Windows on it, and then add Debian to it, 
setting it up so that Debian is the host system for the VM system, and somehow 
converted Windows to work in a VM?  

Or maybe you obtained a system without Windows, then bought a license and 
installed Windows in a VM?  (I'm not sure there is any difference between this 
scenario and the previous one as far as Windows is concerned.)

I guess in either case, have you made hardware upgrades that, perhaps in other 
circumstances, might have "triggered" the need for upgrade permission (or a 
new license) from Microsoft?

If so, did having Windows in a VM avoid that problem?

Oh, (on more careful reading) you're talking about a restore rather than a 
hardware upgrade--hmm, I don't remember (maybe I never knew) whether a similar 
Microsoft policy had to do with restores?

Or, am I totally confused???  (Well, I probably am, if not about this, lots of 
other things ;-)

Randy Kramer

Where's that file: message.txt, that you mention?  I can't see it...  Besides,

This is the most unbelievable overkill. Windows VMs work just fine in 
VirtualBox. When it comes to backup, I have my backup scripts check the 
machines are down and if they are, include the virtual disks in the main 
system backup, and if not, skip them for that night. There is no 
Windows-level backup, it's all done at the host level.

For this to work it has to be OK to down the Windows machines in order 
to back them up,otherwise you risk Windows deciding to do a pointless 
disk write in the middle of your backup and invalidate it. That isn't a 
problem for me; if it were, I would either schedule a maintenance window 
and back them up then, or look into Windows-level backup solutions 
(which _still_ have no need for the nuclear-warhead-to-slice-a-banana 
approach described above).

Restore is smooth, and no license issues -- the Windows machine never 
knows anything happened.

Re: Trouble importing gpg keys in stretch

Pete,

Maybe one more thing to check. I found a reference to an old bug which 
seems to suggest the number of keyrings gnupg can handle is limited.


How many items does apt-key list show?
How many files does /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d contain?
If a file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg exists, how big is it?

Sorry to hear that. This is really weird. Your system does have the keys 
it needs to verify the signatures. These errors make no sense.


To make sure the InRelease files aren't actually corrupted in some way, 
I temporarily put http://debian.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au/debian in 
my own sources list and apt-get update worked without error (be it a 
little slowly, dragging those files from au to nl). So the problem must 
be with something on your machine. I could suggest you reinstall the 
debian-archive-keyring package, or even apt and gnupg, but that's the 
Microsoft way of fixing things and I doubt it would work here.


I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. :(

Regards,
Frank

GRUB does its job but it appears the problem occurs when control is
handed over to the init system.

At the GRUB menu edit the linux line to add systemd.unit=rescue.target
or systemd.unit=emergency.target.

You might get to a terminal to look at what the journalctl command and
/var/log/syslog reveal.

Ne faudrait-il pas ajouter l'option

Il doit être possible d'ajouter momentanément le dépôt stretch sur
jessie le temps d'installer unison-2.48 (en vérifiant tout de même la
liste des paquets installée), puis retirer ce dépôt.

Unison entre deux machines Jessie et Stretch

[Olivier]

Bonjour,

Je viens d'installer le paquet unison-all-gtk sur une machine Stretch dont
je souhaite synchroniser un répertoire avec une machine sous Jessie.

J'imaginais trouver sur machine sous Stretch après l'installation de ce
paquet, un binaire unison-2.40, en plus du binaire unison-2.48 mais il n'en
est rien

Je n'ai pas trouvé de paquet unison-2.48 pour Jessie.

Comment faire pour utiliser Unison entre ces 2 machines ?

Myself? No idea. But you could do worse than having a look at the
Debian Wiki grsecurity page:

  https://wiki.debian.org/grsecurity

Let us know how it works out! (or better: improve the wiki :)

Still a legend, but problem not actually solved.

Re: Re: Trouble importing gpg keys in stretch

Frank,

Yes, same behaviour from the command line.

apt and gnupg were the same versions.

Clearing the cache *worked*

You are a legend! Thanks so much.

Pues mira, en la web de Clonezilla indican que hacen uso del proyecto DRBL, 
aunque no vayas a usar las funcionalidades del clonado te permite mediante sus 
utilidades tipo ncurses configurarlo todo, es muy sencillo seguir sus 
instrucciones para configurarlo.

Te recomiendo usar sus repositorios.

Arranca los sistemas en modo LEGACY por tarjeta de red, en el caso de UEFI+PXE 
no he sido capaz de que funcione.

Stretch and grsecurity

[Georgios Pediaditis]

Hello!
I'm running debian 9 stretch.
Does Debian 9  support grsecurity? Is there any info how to activate it?
I can find paxctl and gradm2 in my repository.

thanks for your help.
