I'm not sure I understand why you'd ask ip to write JSON, and then
post-process it with jq to filter it to different JSON, and then
parse it in a shell, rather than just parsing something as simple as
the oneline format using the tools that every system has installed
(like grep, sed).

That is, unless you're already involving jq for something else,
like the OP is with their Python program. And as we've seen, Python
has a module or function for just about everything, and may avoid
having to call ip in the first place.

Cheers,
David.

Re: Peter -- Re: (Stuck! Fresh 9.6 install) iwlwifi-8625-26.ucode <- Can not find/what is it? Spot of help please?

[Peter Ehlert]

I don't really know, it is a net install, draws the current packages 
from the repos... so it must have access. no wire was plunged in and my 
wifi adapter needed iwiwifi-7260-17.ucode and asked for it.

The installer seems to Only install needed/desired packages.
for example, I did Not want the "default Debian desktop" (gnome) and 
wanted only Mate... so I got exactly that, and less cruft.


I do like Buster, and it will be the new "stable" in a few months.
Buster is running on one of my machines, and has had no problems for 
several months.
There is a lot of vetting to even get to "testing" aka Buster, I suspect 
there will be little change before it goes mainstream.

Thanks Peter

This will be my fallback.

It will ask me if it then uses those ISOs to install OTHER firmware

I don't want an Ubuntu-scenario, where it just dumps in all kinds of

How's Buster overall?

Should I just jump to that?

What is the make and model of the USB dock, and is it rated for 12 TB?


Does e2fsck work when the drive is connected to an internal SATA port?

100% sure.

   check the label, uuid, partition table before doing

jaja claro cuando ejecutas el date y lo guardas en una variable 
es apenas arranca..por eso cuando haces el echo $DIA al final del 
script contiene la hora de arranque..
En ves de guardarlo en una variable ejecuta directamente el comando date
al final del script.

si no me explico avisame.

Thanks for help from this gropup I can force the use of IPv4 by 
running:  sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1.


This does not force the use of IPv4 but disables the use of IPv6 
addresses on existing interfaces.


For a number of reasons I have just done a fresh install of Stretch, 
hoping that the installer woould allow me to select IPv4, which, of 
course it didn't.


You can pass ipv6.disable_ipv6=1 to the installer/kernel command line.
I don't remember if the installer records such custom parameters to 
/etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX however.

Are you sure ? AFAICS, sysctl is started before networking, and NICs may 
be configured asynchronously if they have allow-auto.

This totally disables the IPv6 subsystem. It has been reported to break 
stuff which rely on the IPv6 subsystem (even if not using IPv6). This is 
why it is recommended to use ipv6.disable_ipv6=1 which only disables 
IPv6 addresses on interfaces, not the whole IPv6 subsystem.



echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1' > /etc/sysctl.d/noipv6.conf

which did, indeed, result in the file being created.

However, there is only one problem, it didn't work.

This is what I get:

root@AbNormal:/home/comp# ip a
1: lo:  mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
group default qlen 1

     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

     inet6 2600:1700:4280:3690::2b/128 scope global dynamic

(...)

You can see that the loopback interface does not have the ::1/128 IPv6 
address, so the file had some effect. I suspect a race condition : the 
setting was applied before enp2s0 was created and did not apply to it. 
Try to add this to the file to apply the setting to any new interface :


net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1


Also,  /proc/cmdline is empty.


What do you mean ? It cannot be empty and has nothing to do with sysctl 
config files anyway.

Creating the file doesn't do anything on its own as the kernel doesn't
know you created it. It will be read at the next boot, but for
immediate effect, you need to tell the kernel with

   sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

After reading part of the wiki [0] I suggest You: to compare if the uefi files
are in the correct places on both system.


> All my existing VMs across all ESXi hosts are configured with BIOS boot.

I think you need a time to shutdown your server and clone it
with dd and a livecd and then add a VM with this raw image
and work with the booting stuffs: maybe reinstall the uefi things or
change it to BIOS boot.


p.s.: Please don't top posting.

Re: P2V Debian 9 with VMware Converter

I've investigated a bit more and it actually has something to with EFI 
rather than Debian version.



This Debian 9 clones fine:

Model: IBM ServeRAID M5014 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 998GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

 2  2097kB  271MB   268MB   fat32  boot, esp
 3  271MB   998GB   998GB  lvm


And this one gives the error:

Its' expected. /var/run is a symlink to /run, in-memory filesystem
(tmpfs). Which becomes empty after each reboot.
Every time you boot, systemd calls systemd-tmpfiles with the
following config:

$ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cyrus-imapd.conf
#Type Path  Mode UID   GID  Age Argument
d /run/cyrus0755 cyrus mail -   -
d /run/cyrus/socket 0750 cyrus mail -   -

Since dpkg-statoverride is honored only at package installation or
upgrade, systemd wins ☺.

And if you're not using systemd - /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd takes care of
calling systemd-tmpfiles.

Try this if you're using systemd:

cat > /etc/tmpfiles.d/cyrus-imapd.conf << EOF
#Type Path  Mode UID   GID  Age Argument
d /run/cyrus0755 cyrus lmtp -   -
d /run/cyrus/socket 0750 cyrus lmtp -   -
EOF


And you have to dpkg-divert /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cyrus-imapd.conf if
you're *not* using systemd, see above.

That's a fine example of "works for me" approach.
And I've seen multiple cases where "disable IPv6" equaled "non-booting
OS".

Why systemd was opposed by some? Because it utilizes BSD approach of
providing you with so-called "base system", every single component of
which is somewhat lacking, compared to specialized software.
To name a few systemd examples, automounting facility, journaling
facility, network configuration, console configuration, DNS resolution
facility, DHCP server, DHCP client, RA server, NTP client.
Oh, there's also a parody for HTTP server, but they disable *that* in
Debian by default.

In BSD world, you cannot exclude any component of a "base system" from
your OS, unless you resort to removing files or recompiling.
Likewise, you cannot remove certain components of systemd, see above for
the non-complete list (unless you remove certain files, that is).
You can install certain software which *can* make those tasks better,
and even use such software, but an appropriate component of "base
system" still will be there. Waiting.

A "safe hack" is a bypass of certain "base system" component (in this
case, IPv6 addresses assignment), which does not compromise the ability
of the OS to boot, but renders the desired outcome (in this case -
disabling IPv6).

Why it is safe - because systemd configures NICs first, starts services
next, and then applies kernel knobs (aka sysctl).

Permissions error with Postfix + Cyrus

[Daniel Bareiro]

Hi all!

I am observing the following problem after the upgrade from Jessie to
Stretch at the time of trying to deliver each mail:

--
[/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp]: Permission denied
--

The delivery is normalized after executing this command:

--
# dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add cyrus lmtp 750
/var/run/cyrus/socket
--

But I have noticed that after doing a reboot I have this problem again.
Any idea what could be a definitive solution? Maybe I'm missing
something here?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Daniel

I made ipv6.disable=1 a standard option here at least as far back as 2011. If

Re: P2V Debian 9 with VMware Converter

[Adam Weremczuk]

Hi Calbaza,

I'm not surprised it works for Debian 8 (released in 2015) as the tool 
officially supports Ubuntu 16 (released in 2016).


It also works like a charm for Debian 7 (2013) but not Debian 9 (2017).

All my VMs run as version 11 too.

It fails with the same error when tried against 3 different ESXi hosts 
(6.0, 6.0 and 6.7) running on 2010, 2015 and 2017 server hardware 
respectively.


I think the errors are misleading and it should start working in one of 
the next releases on VMware vCenter Converter Standalone.


I'm now giving Veeam a shot on this (which also doesn't require source 
machine to be shut down).


If it fails I will resort to old school manual VM creation and data copying.

Thanks,
Adam

And by doing *this* you're risking breaking systemd and the overall
boot process.
Yep, the thing's written that way - it *expects* (some can say 'forces')
you to have IPv6.

If you would like to prevent the kernel from loading IPv6 simply add the 
following: ipv6.disable=1 to the kernel boot parameters. If you use lilo 
then in the /etc/lilo.conf should be line beginning with append:


image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/md0
label=DebianSid
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 ipv6.disable=1"

In case of grub.conf search for the line beginning with "linux":

# For booting GNU/Linux
menuentry "Stretch - remote" --id deb {
set root=(hd0,msdos2)
	linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 
ipv6.disable=1

initrd /boot/initrd.img
}

After reboot you should see ipv6.disable=1 in /proc/cmdline

There already may be a file there for the purpose, maybe better to take a 
looksee first instead of
possibly blindly overwriting:


#
# /etc/sysctl.conf is meant for local sysctl settings
#
# sysctl reads settings from the following locations:

#   /run/sysctl.d/*.conf
#   /etc/sysctl.conf
#
# To disable or override a distribution provided file just place a
# file with the same name in /etc/sysctl.d/
#
# See sysctl.conf(5), sysctl.d(5) and sysctl(8) for more information
#


To me, "on boot" implies something on the kernel cmdline, e.g.:

ipv6.disable=1

Even using that I sometimes find ipv6 errors in dmesg that can be cured via an 
avahi config change.

Certamente seria o caminho natural, mas não é garantido, vez que ainda

é garantido.  O mais seguro sempre é ater-se à estável, e o segundo

That's probably best if your destination is a Python program.

Otherwise, for scripting, it's easy to overlook   ip -o a
which makes parsing much easier. But note that you may then
need to be more specific, eg compare

$ ip a

with

$ ip -o l
$ ip -o a

I now note the 'rt' in the subject line, which incited me to read the
body of the OP's article with greater care.

 Hello, I was trying to activate the module powernow-k8 to put the
 system in "performance" and I realized that it is not there. In the
 kernel 4.9.0-8-amd64 if it appears and is fully functional. It has been
 deleted for something special, is it a bug? Cheers

Ignoring the 'if' in the second sentence (no doubt a typo), the OP seems
to be saying the powernow-k8 module appears in the 4.9.0-8-amd64 kernel,
whereas it's absent in the rt version of that kernel.

Didier must be right and cpu scaling and real time don't mix.

It means that sd[bc] may support SCTERC but it's disabled (promising),
and sdf does support it and it's set to 7 seconds (good).

For disks in Linux software RAID, SCTERC with a low timeout is
essential. If it's not possible then the block layer timeout for the
device should be increased.

You should try to set SCTERC for sd[bc] like so:

# for dev in /dev/sd[cd]; do smartctl -l scterc,70,70 "$dev"; done

If that works then great - all your drives support SCTERC and have low
timeouts.

If setting it to 70 (centiseconds, so 7 seconds) doesn't work then you
will need to increase the block layer timeout like this:

# for dev in sd[cd]; do echo 180 > /sys/block/sda/device/timeout; done

The reason to do this is that should any of your drives encounter a
problem reading or writing, without SCTERC set the drive will try very
hard to do whatever it was meant to be doing for a very long period of
time, and while it's doing that it will be unresponsive to anything
else.

The default block layer timeout is 30 seconds and a drive having
problems reading or writing just 1 sector can easily spend longer than
this trying to do so. Linux then drops the entire device from the array.
If you're lucky this only happens on the one device and you're able to
add it back in again, but a very common cause of arrays not assembling
or always having a device kicked out is these sorts of timeouts.

When using RAID it is much better to have the drive give up sooner as
the RAID should take care of what was unable to be read or written. So,
being able to set SCTERC is best, but failing that you really must set
the block layer timeout high enough.

The smartctl and /sys/block settings above don't survive a power cycle
so would need to be set at every boot.

Cheers,
Andy

50TB is a lot of data. Do you actually have it right now, or are
you projecting into the future? How are you storing it?

After you said that, I did, too (miss that part). For fun, I read back
through the included snippets still in my active inbox and, nope,
didn't see it...

So I searched my email trash bucket...

Never got past the subject line at that point. That would be the same
subject line that still sits in the active inbox, too. I'm thinking...
surely fodder for a cognitive/comprehension study somewhere.

In Reality, it's about how I personally mass-read emails. Right-click,
pop a whole bunch open in separate tabs, rapid read, and delete. That
reminds me, there's another possibly still unanswered Debian-User
thread that I keep meaning to go back to and pose a possible answer.
My method of email reading annoyingly, apparently, repeatedly triggers
a duplication of that other User's issue.

You don't have "an IP address". Your host has, and it has zero or
more (potentially many) IP addresses. With IPV6, you'll almost
certainly end up with more than one per interface.

get my ip address

[tony]

Hi all,

Debian 9. I need to read my IPv6 address into a python script.

I am aware that I can call ip a and parse the result. The parsing,
whilst quite achievable, is slightly tricky, but I can manage the RE, so
 that's not my question.

Is there any other way to obtain this data, maybe from /sys?

Cheers, Tony.

Re: Please Recommend Affordable and Reliable Cloud Storage for 50 TB of Data

[Adam Weremczuk]

The upload volume is currently capped at 750GB per day:

https://support.google.com/a/answer/172541?hl=en

So it would take you about 67 days to push to a single account and about 
14 days if you split the data into 5 even chunks and push simultaneously 
to 5 accounts.


You would need a very fast internet connection to go much faster with 
any provider anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Glacier


 Glacier has two costs, one for storage and one for retrieval.  Uploading data
 to Glacier is free. Storage pricing is simple: it currently costs 0.4 cents per
 gigabyte per month, which is 82% cheaper than S3 Standard.

 In 2016, AWS revised their retrieval pricing model.[16] The new model bases
 the retrieval fee on the number of gigabytes retrieved. This can amount to a
 99% price cut for users who perform only one glacier retrieval in a month. At
 the same time, AWS introduced new methods of retrieval that take different
 amounts of time. An expedited retrieval costs one cent per request and three
 cents per gigabyte, and can retrieve data in one to five minutes. A standard
 retrieval costs five cents per thousand requests and one cent per gigabyte, and
 takes three to five hours. A bulk retrieval costs 2.5 cents per thousand
 requests and 0.25 cents per gigabyte, and takes seven to twelve hours. AWS also
 introduced provisioned capacity for expedited retrievals, each unit of which
 costs $100 per month and guarantees at least three expedited retrievals every
 five minutes, and up to 150 MB/s of retrieval bandwidth. Without provisioned
 capacity, expedited retrievals are done on a capacity available basis.

Happy storage.

I have verified: CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8 is not mentionned in the config

Hi Turritopsis,


https://www.hetzner.com has offers for storage up to 10TB for € 39.90

50TB for your needs.

Hi Alexander,

Cloud often. Just want to park it permanently in the Cloud. Maybe I
can access the Cloud from anywhere in the world?

USD$1300 per month is more than half or 50% of the monthly salary of a
typical university graduate in Singapore. So I don't think I will be
able to afford to pay USD$1300 per month just for cloud storage alone.

I had the same problem some time ago. The only solution I found, was to remove 
the configuration of kmail/kontact and start a new configuration.  I renamed 
the user and generated a new user with the same name and the same userid and 
groupid. Copied most of the configurations from the previous user, obviously 
except those for kontact/kmail.

you plan to access it and from what location?
5 GB of data looks enormous to transfer over the Internet on daily

I don't think there are any kind of storage service available for that

50 TB is no joke and even basic calculation gives values around $1300

I don't know the whole picture of your use case, but I think it would be

Basically, you have to stick with one of major companies, like Google,
Amazon, CloudFlare, Microsoft.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that your data will vanish one day with
the company, but even then, once your data is uploaded into cloud it
could become a hostage at any time in the future.

Just a quick note on "AMD open driver": I assume you have been using the

Have you tried this version?

It's included as a module in *my* kernel 4.9.0-8-amd64:

curty@einstein:~$  grep -i powernow /boot/con*
/boot/config-4.9.0-7-amd64:CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=m
/boot/config-4.9.0-8-amd64:CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=m

this command

$ grep -i powernow /boot/con*

should inform you: maybe instead of "m" for module, the result would be
"y" for included in the kernel (I do not know)

Re: WiFi without Network Manager

[didier gaumet]

Hello,

- As a GUI alternative to NetworkManager; Wicd has been mentionned, but
there is also Connman
- the GUI part of NetworkManager (the gnome applet:
network-manager-gnome) is not mandatory: there are TUI (nmtui) and CLI
(nmcli) interfaces included in the NetworkManager base package
(network-manager)
- In my opinion, it would probably be simpler to use only NetworkManager
than NetworkManager and /etc/interfaces in your use case

nscd errors with AppArmor

[André Rodier]

Hello all,

I have an annoying bug or something not configured properly with the
nscd library, that is visible with AppArmor.

This is happening at least with Apache and Dovecot.

With Dovecot:

Basically, the query to open nscd cache files is missing the heading
'/' character.

Does anyone has an idea where this is coming from?

Thanks,
André
