My .Xresources makes Xterm fonts nice size:

xterm*faceName: Droid Sans Mono:antialias=true
xterm*faceSize: 11

A quick web search revealed that is not a mc parameter.
It is a function of the terminal emulator used. I have a MATE

Years ago I used to put this in an ~/.Xresources file that would change

ncurses problem

[Grzesiek Sójka]

Hi there,

I compiled following test program:
==
#include 
#include 

int main()
{

initscr();

int key;
while ((key = getch()) != 27) {
if (key == KEY_RESIZE) {
clear();
mvprintw(0, 0, "COLS = %d, LINES = %d", COLS, LINES);
for (int i = 0; i < COLS; i++)
mvaddch(1, i, '*');
refresh();
}
}

endwin();
return 0;
}
==
It's supposed to show current window dimension when resizing terminal 
window. Unfortunately, dimensions are not updated and it shows initial 
geometry. Interesting thing is that it works perfectly after "ssh 
localhost" or "su -". I tested on both, sid and stretch. exactly the 
same result.


Any ideas??

PS. I use xfce4 and lxdm.

Scribus has stopped importing PDF files - repost - original thread was hijacked

[Gary Dale]

For the last few days, some Scribus documents I work with have stopped 
accepting PDF files within image frames. Prior to this, they would 
display a preview. Now new image frames that I create show just the file 
name, but some older frames within the document still show the preview.


When I export the document as a PDF, the frames that just display the 
file name export as empty/blank. The older frame that shows a preview 
causes the export to stop with an error saying it was unable to load the 
image.


I'm not sure if this is related to something in the PDFs or not. However 
it is happening on two documents I am working on.

What you describe is exactly how the dropbear/initramfs integration
works. The data stored in /boot is the initramfs, and within that, the
only material you might consider sensitive is an SSH server keypair
(public) for the SSHD instance in the initramfs environment -
this does not need to be the same as for your running system; and an
authorized_keys file, containing your SSH *public* key. Are those too
sensitive for you?

I suspect you could probably do without the SSHD public/private keypair
and have the initramfs environment generate a new pair each time, but
then you'd have no chain of trust for connecting to it; so you have to
weigh up those two scenarios.

You're only moving the problem around. Some completely standard piece of
code *somewhere* has to know what is the right place to insert such a
rule. I'll give you an example: neither the beginning nor the end of my
INPUT chain is the right place, because I do some catch-all stuff about
RELATED and INVALID at the beginning of the chain, and some assorted

INPUT chain at all, but in one of a few custom chains.

There could be a standard custom chain in which such rules were
inserted so that they all arrived at a place to suit the user, but my
point is that enough such hooks must be defined and honoured to cover
all reasonable use cases. This is a significant project, one which
involves all IP-aware packages, and I don't think there is *yet*
sufficient need to justify the resources to do it right.

Righto.

Now, listen up, Tom, here's what we got so far:

A guy from Singapore asks what's the best open source e-commerce platform
around.

You start by telling him not to call it open source. Hasler suggests
accounting software. I wouldn't be surprised if Bernstein piped up
soon to inform us the whole deal smells suspiciously like Eichmann's
testimony at Nuremberg.

You must have misread or misunderstood my message, because the point I
was making was that the point of a firewall was not just to protect you
from the things you *know* are listening, but the scenarios I outline
where you have things happening you *don't* know about.


Any  default firewall would then force maintainers of packages to test
for the default firewall and if present inject a default rule to make
the service available. Otherwise you will have endless rants about
"why is my ssh not working.." etc.


Yes, we'd need an inter-package scheme for opening service ports when
packages were installed (or services enabled, a subtle distinction). I
outline a high-level approach to that in my last email to this thread (a
reply to Joe).

We agree this far.


For this to be practical, a completely standardised
iptables architecture would be necessary, with limited user
customisation. That's how Windows does it.


This is where we disagree. What would be needed would be a standard
interface for a package to say "open this port", that was implemented by
the iptables (say) package by default, but, if you were writing a very
DIY ruleset, you could override the iptables-package's implementation
and provide one yourself (or ignore the package hooks if you wished).


Fine for Brian, and others who use no firewall at the moment, not so
good for anyone with an existing hand-made set of iptables rules. My
netbook, for example, has three sets of rules which are selected
according to the environment and whether a VPN is in use. My server has
a set of rules appropriate to a network firewall plus VPN server, with
suitable named chains and 'subroutine' structure. All of this would be
swept away by a standard firewall structure, and would need to be
rebuilt in conformance with the standard. Such a standard would have to
encompass all possible use-cases, including multiple NICs and multiple
VPN arrangements. Any volunteers?


The approach I outline above would mean you would have the choice of
reworking your configuration to work in harmony with the new
arrangement, or override and ignore it, and continue as you are.

Open the TE first, then do 'mc'. Open as many as you have TEs, and more.

mc is an "OFM" http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/Paradigm/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#Orthodox_file_managers

I always have multiple mc instances open. I normally have a filecommander
instance open too, filling one virtual desktop. http://silk.apana.org.au/fc.html
Font in it is handled by its own ini file, as are its row and column counts. It
has two different sets of directory hotkeys, one "permanent", one history-based.

In Linux, fc & mc are the only file managers I use. Both are heavily used.

I think it's gnome-terminal; but I haven't used MATE in a while.
Although, I do recall from my time using it, that one could right-click
on the main portion of the window (i.e. where the text is), and you'd
get a context menu that'd let you select the settings (font size, color,
etc.)

NOTE - you may need to do this while mc is not running (IDK if it has
its own interpretation of a right click that may get in the way).

perhaps better is to copy the whole lot across as above to a temp 
directory on the new machine then with 2 instances of thunar on the new 
machine the files will disappear from the source directory as you drag 
them across so you know what you've done.

I use Krusader for similar purposes. It is like a GUI version of Midnight
Commander (mc). If needed just open multiple instances. When performing actions
within one instance you can do almost everything purely by keyboard, which is
great (to me) and speeds up things as well. No need to grab the mouse all the 
time.

Hey now, we were still taught grammar (and cursive[1]!) in the 1990s.

Granted, since life in general has gotten considerably less "formal"
(for lack of a better word) since the 1940s; I wouldn't even begin to
argue that in general, that increased informality hasn't also slipped
into our use of language.  Or, perhaps it's always been this bad, and
the comparative ease of global communications today simply sheds light
onto how impaired the general population's grammatical skills are.

NOTE - I'm spefically talking about the typical errors in short, yet
"proper(tm)" methods of communication (mainly email); rather than the
evolution of "txt-spk", which was originally a workaround for clumsy
interfaces (i.e. 0-9 keypads).


[1] I am quite thrilled that I now have a secret method of communication
that my children will likely never be able to decipher. Not that they're
likely to ever be able to read my chicken-scratch handwriting anyway.

Never seen that myself.  Wouldn't know where to start, honestly --
perhaps skipping the GUI would be a better option -- maybe something
like mc or one of the other terminal-based managers would be more what
you're looking for?

I mean, mc will do side-by-side of a pair of directories OOTB.



Hmmm. It may be GUI-enough for my purposes.
http://midnight-commander.org/ describes it as "GNU Midnight Commander 
is a visual file manager...".
Section 3 - Mouse of http://midnight-commander.org/wiki/doc/faq hints 
that it may perhaps have enough mouse functionality (enough qualifiers ;).


Also your phraseology joggled my thought process. Perhaps "file manager"

That depends. Youth less so¹, I find, but those of us who had the benefit
of schoolteachers who were educated prior to WWII retain a certain
mastery of English - even realising that it once had a grammar.

But back to coaches; here they are only sports coaches. Any other
connotation will whistle over the head of an Aussie, unless you put
"stage-" in front, to trigger recollection of wild west movies.

  A-mayorkhan, complete with major disregard for singular/plural and many

Distinguish instances of GUI file manager by color

I'm setting up a new machine and copying files from the old machine's

I found it expedient to have at least three instances of the file

hm ... hasn't worked.
wrong tool ? did i missed something
or have i completely misunderstood deduplication?



I can not answer this, but as a long time user of btrfs who has never
tried deduplication I got curious, so I tried to recreate your result
on my debian testing workstation, and for me it worked. Here is the
log of exactly how I created the filesystem, and the output from btrfs
fi usage before and after running jdupes. As you can see from the
usage after deduplication, both the allocated and used space has
decreased to what would be expected.

Perhaps your kernel is too old? It is possible that you are being hit
by the issue described here:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Changelog#By_feature

"The range for out-of-band deduplication implemented by the
EXTENT_SAME ioctl will split the range into 16MiB chunks. Up to now
this was the overall limit and effectively only the first 16MiB was
deduplicated."

I can't say I understand much about it, but it was fixed in kernel
4.18 which happens to be what I use.

I guess "ecommerce platform" isn't a one-dimensional space, so you
won't be able to sort it along "one and only one" quailty criterion.

You'll first have to define (perhaps incompletely) your criteria
yourself, look at what is there, learn, adjust your criteria.

Hopefully, the process converges, somehow.

Since you are asking on Debian, I just queried "apt search ecommerce":
You get a couple of hits, all related to Business::OnlinePayment, which
is an online payment interface written in Perl. Hardly a complete survey.



I just tried
  https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=linux%20%2B%22ecommerce%22%20review
The hits there may give ideas on refining your search.

That's easy enough: install the dropbear package, reconfigure the keys /
authorized_keys files in /etc/initramfs-tools to trust whatever you need
and regenerate your initramfs.

When you SSH into the pre-boot environment, you get a shell and need to
write the decryption passphrase to /lib/cryptsetup/passfifo.

BTW, am I the only one here bothered that his 250MB /boot partition
tends to fill up, even though a 500MB HDD was plenty to hold the whole
OS plus lots and lots of free space, on a 64bit workstation like the
original DEC Alphas?


This reminds me that I filed a d-i bug to increase the default size of
/boot for normal installations, I need to chase that up.

This sounds like you put /boot/efi on the same filesystem as /boot which

single file under /boot/efi, namely /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi -
which will be written to on updates to the grub-efi package, but not
when installing a new kernel or rebuilding an initramfs.


No, I didn't: /boot was ext4, journalled, and could recover from most
unexpected power failures. The issue  was /boot/efi being mandated to
vfat, not journalled, and requiring a fsck on just about every power
outage.

Good afternoon from Singapore, There are far too many choices when it comes to 
open source ecommerce solutions. Are there any credible rankings of open source 
ecommerce platforms? Which open source ecommerce solution do you think is the 
best and tell me why. Thank you.
