Pour être inclus dans un wiki ne vaut-il pas mieux n'avoir aucun

Normalement, le moteur du wiki supprime les fins de ligne à l'affichage. 
Donc au contraire, comme celui-ci conserve toutes les versions de la 
page (tout comme git, subversion...), il est préférable de faire des 
lignes courtes. La correction d'un 's' sur un mot sera gérer par un 
patch/diff petit et non un patch énorme et peu pratique.


Donc, des lignes courtes dans les wiki ;-)

I'm not sure I'd expect that much newer a mysqldump client to work on 
that much older a server. And the mysql - mariadb divide won't be 
helping either (although it also may not be hindering much)

Isn't it an option to use the old version's mysqldump command to dump to 
a compressed file, by doing on the server something like:

mysqldump  | bzip2 > dump.sql.bz2

Then honk that compressed dump over the network to the new server, and 
do:

bzcat dump.sql.bz2 | mysql 

to use the new server's mysql command to load the data into the new 
server?

[I recommend bzip2 for this job over xz as it's been my experience that 
with mysqldump output bzip2 achieves better compression and doesn't take 
noticably longer]

If storage space on the old server is a problem, an option would be 
creative use of mounts to get around that.

No idea. But can you please provide the following info to narrow down the issue.

What versions of krunner and konqueror are you using?
Has it ever worked before and stopped working suddenly or has it

Hi, in Debian Sid, launching Konqueror from Krunner does nothing. When I start 
it in Konsole, it launches successfully, and gives this message: 
konqueror(12567)/kdecore (services) KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath:

Any ideas?

codesearch across lines

[kamaraju kusumanchi]

In codesearch.debian.net , is it possible to search for multiple words
that may occur across different lines and not necessarily on the same
line? For example, there are no results when I search for

pandas str filetype:python

which probably happens because it looks for lines that contain
'pandas' and 'str'. But what I would like to see is files where both
words are present (but not necessarily on the same line). Any ideas on
how to achieve that?

thanks

Problem with kernel compiling 4.12.13 Debian Stretch

[c . nill]

Hello everybody.

I hope someone can help me out of this (hopefully) simple problem.

Currently iam working on a new kernel (4.12.13) for my debian server. 
The kernel compiles fine, the initrd will be created using


mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-4.12.13 4.12.13

but on a reboot and booting with the new kernel my server cannot boot 
with the error:


crc32c not found

What iam doing wrong ?

I used the make oldconfig command and checked if crc32c crc32-intl and 
so on is checked. It seems all good (like the old config from 
4.9.0-4-amd64


Please help me. I compile now since 8 hours without any success.

Greetings

Christian Nill

The crowd-fund campaign ends soon for the GnuBee PC-2, so anyone who
wants one should pledge now. It'll be cheaper than waiting.

I recently upgraded one of my boxes after a mother board failure. I did 
a fair amount of research and came up with the following:

MSI1970A-G43 motherboard (very reasonably priced)
AMD Athlon FX4350 4 core CPU
It's fast and handles Debian very well. I don't remember how much I 
paid, but it was reasonable. I also had to add an above board, cheep, 
graphics card ($45). While not too expensive, this is a gamers board and 
can be overclocked. There are 6 Sata slots and room for 16Gb memory. Has 
a nice BIOS screen. They have dropped IDE connectors. So if you have IDE 
drives you will need IDE to Sata adapters.


Hope this helps

AFAIK 32MB (but I could be wrong on that).

The stretch installation manual says at least 31MB RAM [1],
but since it says the same for jessie says the same it is
possible that noone ever tried stretch with that few RAM.

Neo FreeRunner with 128MB RAM would still be fine if there would
be a working recent kernel and people actually running current
Debian on it.

So far I haven't heard from a single person running stretch/buster/sid 
on ARMv4t, and I'm becoming confident that there are no users left.[2]

Irrelevant. Crypto accelerator could be nice though.

At least one. No amount of bonding will allow me to exceed Cat5e

SATA 2 at least.

Chassis material is irrelevant, size should not exceed standard 1U,

Capacity - 4 Tb.
Thoughtput - 30-40 Mb/s.
Latency - 20 ms is tolerable.
IOPS - 1200.

I'm not planning on SSDs, so these should be achieved easily.

No. That's strict no.
The only kind of out-of-band management I use is old trusty RS-232.

Current NAS lived 6.5 hours on UPS power once. That's with HDD power

Show me x86-64 solution that can do the same.

SATA speed is OK, but not stellar - 12.5 Mbps / 1200 IOPS on sequential
read from RAID5.
Advertized Gigabit ethernet is in fact 400 Mbps, but I can live with
that (see above).
CPU speed is horrid. You can forget running anything that's even python
(includes iotop), let alone something CPU hungry (CUPS, java, etc).
Amount of RAM is tiny by today's standards - 256Mb.

Last, but not least - they plan to ditch ARM4 in Debian (unless they did
it already). Kirkwood is ARM5.

There is a rule: "never touch a running system" which means if something
works let it work. through your process you are exposed to bugs without a
way back. this is just an advise to review the process

I don't use Gnome, because gtk with the concept behind caused a lot of
trouble long time ago and could not convince me that it will ever get
better so I can't help much. But ... there should be logging facility and
you need perhaps to enable something somewhere to see where it is coming
from or what is happening when the problem appears.

I usually look first in ~/.xsession-errors

someone else perhaps could help on where and how to debug gtk/gnome

Correct and exactly this is the subject of my concern. What blkid is
reporting for the disk matches (correctly) to the PARTUUID - which as it
looks like tells us which partition it is.

I can't believe that this blkid library might be used in raid as if you read
the description it can easily report identical IDs.

Might be really worth examining the code - the last thing I wanted to do
now. Perhaps I ask on the kernel list.

Hello Roberto,

As you suggested, I took my laptop at work and tested with the wifi there.
I reproduced the bug also there.
I don't know if I can reproduce it with any wifi network but at least it is
not particular to my home network only.

Let me know what I can do next to find the cause of the bug.

will assume that packets coming from that port will always come from
the same MAC address, and since the VMs you have all have differing
addresses this causes the switch to silently drop packets from a
different MAC address. And depending on how they actually implemented
that in detail the behavior may be quite weird.

I was a bit premature in thinking it was fixed!  Tried 3 different 3Com

Back to the original config: did you know you could add the built-in 
adapter to the bridge, give your IP address to the bridge rather than 
directly to the built-in interface, and use the VMs the same way you 
are now without a second NIC?



Yes but as I was experiementing I wanted to keep it separate so if I 
screwed up I could at least still SSH into the host.


The weird thing is I have 3 VMs, all started with the same commands just 
the made up MAC address and virtual bridge port numbers differing. One 
of them has never given a problem it always works, the other two seem to 
alternate, one "goes offline" the other comes online, then vice versa, 
yet if I use VNC to bring up the console for the VM it is still running 
ok and I cant see any log messages on it indicating that the network has 
gone down.


The arping command  is indicating that when a VM goes offline it is not 
responding to ARP requests over the network yet it does from another VM 
and can be connected to perfectly from another VM


I then had a brainwave, I had a similar issue with a Cisco wifi access 
point where some wifi clients could connect ok, others would connect but 
then there was no traffic flowing.


That turned out to be the Cisco switch on the other end which is an 
ESW500 series Small Business Switch (i.e web gui only no IOS CLI). On 
there there is a 'Smartports Wizard' which allows you to set a 'role' 
for each port and unless it is set to 'Access Point' I got the strange 
behaviour.


 As the virtual bridge and wifi access point are pretty much the same 
thing in principle I tried changing the port role to 'Access Point' as 
well and it seems to have solved the issue. Ive no idea what that is 
changing in the switch config, and when I asked on the Cisco forum I 
couldnt get an answer but it seems to be the cause of the trouble.

It's my understanding that PTUUID on a disk using an MBR corresponds to

MBR-based disk would correspond to PARTUUID, if anything).

Thanks. Interesting thing (ZFS out-the-box, no less), but '8-Core 2.4GHz
Intel CPU with AES-NI' (as datasheet puts it) violates my 'non-x86'
criteria.

Way too much power consumption (datasheet states 37-47 Watts), and don't
get me started on inevitable Intel ME.

What I'm looking for is more like Seagate SRPD40, QNAP TS-421U, but
newer.

Richard, there is a pi kiler out there, all we have to do is write the 
software.  Its called a rock64, and the memory is factory fixed so you 
buy what you need. I bought two of the 4Gb equipt ones for $44 each. And 
I intend to to replace a pi running some heavy machinery in my home 
machine shop. Unfortunately I have not been successful at obtaining the 
header files for the gpio facility, which is supposed to be pi 
compatible at the header pins level. So I've been unable to compile an 
SPI driver to address the interface card. That, and I may not have the 
talent left in the wet ram to make it work.  The pi's problem is that 
for everything but the SPI, the i/o data is forced to pass thru an 
internal usb2 speed hub. That results in missed mouse and keyboard 
events. It can be solved but often requires several reboots to get thing 
all in a row and working (with the best realtime kernel build we have).

So be aware, the pi does have a problem, one that makes a daily update of 
its jessie install a watching paint dry job.  This rock64, running 
stretch, is around 20x faster updateing a similar list of security 
related packages because it doesn't have the usb2 speed limit to its 
i/o.

Whether cutting a trail thru software is your cup of tea or not, it might 
be worth looking at, see it on the pine site. They also see a 
pre-assembled thing they call a pinebook, based on the pine64, an older 
variation on the rock64.

Dear list.

I've read recent 'Anyone using stretch/buster/sid on ARMv4t' and 'Wanted
- a Debian handheld' threads, and decided to ask you all for an advice.

I have this QNAP TS-412 box that runs Debian for several years with
small downtimes and it works beautifully. But, the thing starts to show
its age.

What I'm looking for is a suitable replacement with the following
treats:

- Able to run Debian, stock kernel is strongly preferred.
- Non-x86, and I don't need another kirkwood ARM.
- Gigabit Ethernet.
- 4 SATA disk slots.
- I don't care whenever it's a box or a rack mount.

All suggestions are welcome.

Its in fact part of the spec.

Part of the GSM authentication and network attach spec allows any device

accept emergency calls.


E.g. If you have a T-Mobile phone, and occasionally see it in SOS mode, 
what's happened is that the phone can't see a T-Mobile tower, and 
connects to an AT tower instead. There's no roaming agreement, so AT

mysqldump from mysql 5.1.73 to mariadb 10.1.26 imports no data

[Tapio Lehtonen]

I am importing databases from old host to new. Checking stuff I noticed 
all databases were created but they had no tables and no records.


Examining this I tried to run the mysqldump that tries to copy the 
database from SOURCE to TARGET. Seems it does not dump the contents of 
the database, just some SET lines. Example below with usernames and 
passwords edited out. This command was run on the TARGET. I did not 
see error messages in logs.

I tried the same dump command on the SOURCE with suitable username and 
password, there the command does dump oodles of stuff after similar /* 
. */ lines.


As can be seen form the above dump output, the TARGET has MariaDb and 
SOURCE has very old MySQL. Is this some incompatibility that prevents 
dumping contents of database?I did find similar problems from year 2008, 
when running mysqldump on MySQL 5 to dump data from MySQL 4 server 
resulted in no data in the dump.

Wanted - a Debian handheld

[Richard Owlett]

I've asked a very similar question on two fora and received useful 
feedback. I've revised my feature list.


Must:
1. be currently available from U.S. retail vendor.
2. have a physical form factor similar to a "smartphone".
3. have provision for using an _optional_ full size keyboard.
   [A permanently attached keyboard is undesirable.]
4. have touchscreen display.
5. be able to read/write a USB flash drive (preferably FAT32 or ext2).
6. not have cell network connectivity as purchased.

Raspberry Pi was suggested on both fora. I investigated it and 
Beaglebone. Both are uncomfortably DIY. Minimally acceptable would be a 
parts list [including case and battery] known to work together.


TIA

Buenas, puede que sea porque el usuario no pertenezca al grupo video?

en todo caso, un # usermod -a -G video nombre_usuario
puede que solucione el problema?


Gracias, Rafael, por responder a mi correo. ;)

El tema del grupo video no creo que sea:

jesusda@lucas in ~
$ → cat /etc/group | grep video
video:x:44:jesusda


¿Hay algún otro grupo al que deba añadirme?




saludos.


Mil gracias. ;)

Hola,

Recientemente reinstalé mi PC con Debian y ahora me doy cuenta de que
no puedo ver ningún vídeo o audio con Parole, Totem o ningún otro
programa que emplee Gstreamer como backend.

Curiosamente, si ejecuto dichos programas como ROOT, sí se ven, lo que
descartaría, a mi entender, ningún problema de códecs.

He probado algunos trucos que he encontrado en internet sin ninguna
fortuna.

¿Alguna sugerencia o ayuda?

Sorry. I meant to say there can be good dishes in Chinese restaurants.
Excuse me for the mental faux pas.

you see in your case PARTUUID is different for both members. In my case it
is identical and this is what is bothering me

It looks like the new style raid (I don't recall in which version it was
introduced). However this raid was created ~12y ago without metadata.

Indeed this is true - I make backups but not that often as data changes not
that often, however it might be good idea to run on regular bases.

I guess I'll have to sit over the weekend and make a plan.

thanks
