GPG_ERROR_1.0 is fundamental. It is in buster
in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0.26.1, if I am not wrong.

nm -DC /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0.26.1| grep
gpgrt_get_syscall_clamp
ef50 T gpgrt_get_syscall_clamp

And gcrypt is libcrypt-2.28.so not .so.20

perhaps something is wrong with the library paths setup on the system

perhaps you have some custom installed software loading libraries before the
system libraries. Could be also libraries are missing and some left over
has appeared or similar.

You can only use 'apt-get' or 'apt' but not both at the same time.

$ sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt update

it can yet do striping with parity.  Any advice?



Here is my advice. Put the simplest and most used system on it you can. 
Because when it blows up, and it WILL blow up at some stage, there is 
plenty of advice and howtos etc on how to fix it. I've had disks that 
rebuilt the array every boot. Upgrades that made the array vanish. 
Weirdly failing hard drives. Online help is like gold at 1am in the

I run mdraid in raid 6 on I think 6 3tb WD disks. On top on that I run 
LVM2 to allocate out space to various clients or vms etc. 2 drives can 
fail and I still have data.


Plan for a failed drive. Do you know how to replace a failed disk? Do 
you have a spare port to put a new disk on? a power cable for it? Can 
you identify which one of 6 has died? ( I write the last 4 digits of the 
serial number where I can see it on the drive).



Also raid whatever is not a substitute for backups. Have another 
computer or offsite for anything you CANNOT recreate or don't have the 
time to. Movies you can get again, photos of your kids you cannot. .



Have something monitor your array, unless you get notification something 
is wrong, you can't replace a drive if you don't know it has failed.

I can't tell whether or not this response is facetious. If it is, and 
you are not determined for other reasons to use Linux, I recommend FreeNAS


(https://www.freenas.org/)

for this. It is free, actively maintained, commercial grade, and comes 
with well written and fairly comprehensive documentation. It also has an 
active community (including specific hardware advice) and allows access 
to its bug reporting system. Oracle's extensive ZFS documentation also 
is freely available and useful for matters not peculiar to the later 
commercial versions of ZFS.


The underlying OS is FreeBSD, but in normal operation does not require 
direct OS interaction. All normal system and storage administration can 
be done using a pretty decent graphical interface.


The hardware you suggest seems reasonable; they recommend a minimum of 8 
GB memory, and my experience suggests their recommendations are quite 
conservative for a home network. The only obvious issue is that FreeNAS 
requires the OS on a device separate from the storage pool(s). I have 
used a USB key in one case, but would recommend a "real" disk, which 
could be USB attached; I don't quite trust USB keys for this, though the 
best of them probably are decently reliable.


ZFS on Linux is entirely doable, and the suggestion, in another 
response, of system on ext4 and and managed storage on ZFS also is quite 
reasonable. On the other hand, root on ZFS is not by any means a horror 
despite a hands-on install somewhat reminiscent of Debian in the early 
1990s. The instructions at


https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Debian-Buster-Root-on-ZFS

is good. I have (so far) two laptops, a desktop, and a couple of VMs set 
up that way, with ZFS native encryption on the laptops. Over periods of 
a few months to a year I have no ZFS-related issues with any of them.



Full disclosure: I have no connection with IXsystems other than as a 
satisfied user, and have used Linux (nearly all Debian) almost 
exclusively for over 25 years.

I had something similar to this happen to me with Emacs 24.  I ended up
adding an override to my ~/.emacs to set the highlighting color.

Tom, which Emacs package are you using?  The (default) GTK-based build
can behave differently than the Lucid-based build.

One way to change the highlighting color is to do

  M-x customize-face RET
  region RET

Pick a background color that works for you, then save the change from
the Customize window.

Je pense que tu saura configurer comme il te conviens les autres

Exactement. Au début ca fait n'importe quoi, beaucoup de faux positifs
et aussi beaucoup de faux négatifs. Les spam et les faux positifs, tu
les trouvera dans le dossier de spam que tu a choisi. Pour les faux
positifs, cliquer sur "acceptable" et ils retournent tout seuls dans le
dossier "courrier entrant". Pour les faux négatifs, cliquer sur
"indésirable" et ils vont tout seuls dans le dossier de spam.

Après quelques semaines, quand il aura appri tes critères, les faux
positifs et faux négatifs deviendront rares, mais il en restera quand
meme un de temps en temps. Il faudra donc garder l'habitude d'aller de
temps en temps jeter un oeil dans le dossier de spam (en classant les
mails par adresse d'expéditeur dans ce dossier c'est plus facile) pour
récupérer les faux positifs éventuels avant de vider le dossier.

I, for one, can't fathom what your problem is. Perhaps it might help
to outline:

Where you are,
Where the service is being provided,
In what form,
What items of equipment are provided by them,
What items of equipment are being used by yourself,
What software is running,
What exactly it is that you are trying to do.

You mentioned activation and registration. They can usually be done by
phone or over any internet connection, using any browser in case of the

I have very little idea what all that was supposed to do, 




It demonstrates how to create a directory, create files in that 
directory, archive and compress the directory and files, list the 
directory, files, and archive, move the directory aside, restore the 
directory and files, list everything, determine the file type of the 
compressed archive, decompress the archive, and determine the file type 
of the decompressed archive.



You will want to learn all of the above commands, and more.  This book 
is a good introduction:

Like Linux, ZFS will use all the RAM that it can. Also like
Linux, ZFS will give up most of that RAM when other applications
come knocking.

The primary exception is when you turn on deduplication. Never turn on
deduplication.

No, you're misinterpreting. Once you have ZFS running, the
primary remaining source of data corruption is memory errors.
Without ZFS, you have exactly the same chance of data corruption
via memory errors... but that's swamped by all the other chances
for data corruption.

I haven't found this to be true, but I also tend to put my

That's only the case if you use ZFS as your root filesystem.  There's no
requirement to do that; ext4 for root and ZFS for everything else is a
nice, resilient way of getting things done.

Up top here before all the rest of my rambling.. I use wvdial for
dialup connections. There's a line in /etc/wvdial.conf that says:

Carrier Check = no

THAT has singlehandedly helped me connect on regular occasion where
connections failed repeatedly when that didn't exist OR if that option
was left turned on (yes) in any GUI interfaces for that same tweak.

What I'm hoping is maybe there's a dot conf file or similar in your
file hierarchy that has a spot just for something like that to be
flipped on and off as one test point...

Now the rest of what I wrote before that thought occurred:

I know from Windstream. They've been around a long while.

One of the pokes I took at this was to try a search for "no carrier"
for them. Didn't see much but DID see some folks chatting up lines
being oversold [0]. That could potentially apply to almost any
provider. Would that maybe trigger a "no carrier" error if lines are
jammed?

Before sending this out, I checked one more time to see if you all had
figured it out already. I saw the mention of 900 miles. THAT is one
point in the "AnandTech" thread that I found in my Internet search.

The length of the line in between the end User and the access point
can affect things. In this day and age of so many years of Internet
connections, it should be the responsibility of that provider to KNOW
and DISCLOSE that important detail.

A different train of thought is: Are you set up to use GUI-type
interface? For in-house hardwired ethernet connections, I've had
really good luck with package wicd. It's in the "network manager"
package family. It has Users who both like and don't like it for
various reasons.

My install ALWAYS default opens in a small interface. There's a barely
noticeable dropdown arrow just to the right of "Switch On Wi-fi". A
"Preferences" option sits under that. There are a couple of tabs that
offer the chance to e.g. debug. I've never noticed anything about "no
carrier". I'm only familiar with that at all because of using wvdial.

What I'm thinking is MAYBE wicd can help you get connected THEN you
can doodle around until you find out what's not going correctly via
command line.

AND, now that I think more on it, if wicd does not work, one option is
to run THAT program via command line to see if it spits out any useful
error messages on the [terminal] window behind it as it runs.

Which NEXT makes me wonder out loud: Do any log files have error
messages that are timed to when you're trying to do this?

A disclaimer about wicd is that I haven't had a usage case to test
access to an outside party's connection. I've only used it to connect
to a second in-house laptop or PC that's acting as a modem to the
outside World.

For me, it's like where I'm using wvdial right now for my Internet
connection. They're often just "intelligent" interfaces that tweak the
very same programs we might use and potentially knock heads with to
get the same end result.

They're a cheat. That's probably a top, understandable reason why some
Users are in the "don't like" pool on some GUIs. I'm like that about
package managers now. I canNOT imagine using anything except
apt/apt-get command line interface ever since I dug in and self-taught
how to do that several years ago.

There is so much less "bloat" on our computers when we can do as much
as possible straight from entering text on a command line. *grin*

PS About wvdial, it's used straight from the command line. It's been
so hefty and consistent in dialup connection capability that I ALWAYS
think of it as a GUI for some reason

Just out of curiosity:
Why so many OSes if it has a single, designated purpose?

All connections are USB ports mostly usb3 though I'm not sure about the

In such cases, it is often interesting to switch ports (esp. between USB2 /

I have this same keyboard and mouse on another older system with Debian &  
Windows 10 runs fine.
 Any tips where to start debugging the system and no I don't think its a

I just need a few ideas. I have been building systems for decades.


Also check the kernel message buffer (command: `dmesg`).

First of all you choose using testing + unstable. Secondly you do not have
understanding of all the sub systems. Why not choosing stable then?

Regarding the problem my view: PA is mixer layer on top of ALSA and it gives
an interface for applications to use the audio system in an easy way.

To stop PA relaunching you put in the config file autospawn=no and shut down
PA.

Then you start PA in the console with verbose output and repeat your use
case.

Honestly what I think is that if you are connected with 3.5" jacks to
line/mic in and line/audio out from the headset could be that the system
automatically mutes one input/output in favor to another.

>From your description of the problem
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6=144902 it looks like it could
be also a wrong mapping or configuration within alsa. Then it could be that
you might want to look any specific settings for the audio card.

For this you could use amixer or aplay. In my opinion it is better to use
pavucontrol with PA enabled.

I also think it could be some driver settings or udev rule ... hard to say.
When I look for your audio card, I get many recent (2019) issues related
with this card. Very interesting I found

Issue with headset on debian testing

[Anton Vorobyov]

Hi.
 
I want to file a bug report, but I am not familiar with sound system in linux 
enough to determine which package is to blame.
 
So, my issue started only recently. I have a laptop with Debian Testing. 
Previously, when I plug in my headset (2x 3.5mm jacks - one for headphones, one 
for mic) the system automatically switched to it, both input and output. After 
some system update whenever I plug my headset in, Gnome started showing prompt 
if I plugged in headphones, headset or external mic, and according to my choice 
it configures sound settings.
 
The issue is that when I have Headphones selected for output and External mic 
for input (which correspond to my headset headphones and mic correspondingly), 
sound cannot be played via headset’s headphones. Whenever I switch input from 
external mic to built-in laptop mic, sound from headphones resumes. But it 
results in me being unable to use the headset (as I am unable to use either 
headphones or mic).
 
I believe the issue started after an upgrade which involved linux image update 
from 5.3.9-3 to 5.4.8-1. I haven’t been able to confirm that as rolling back to 
the older kernel version did not fix the issue, though. I did multiple system 
updates before final reboot which exposed the issue, so identifying which 
update broke it is very hard.
 
I have spent some time to rule out PulseAudio as possible cause of the issue. 
More details on the issue overall and how I ruled PA out are available in this 
thread:  http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6=144902
 
I have little understanding on what is involved in the sound system below PA. 
ALSA? Kernel? What could be broken and how to debug it?
 
Any help is appreaciated.

-av

If you don't already have all the router(s) and WiFi access points and such, 
may I suggest a pile of Raspberry Pis. I have a couple of them in the LAN 
around where I live, and they're working quite nicely (they're running on UPSen 
-- I don't know how reliable they'd be with wall electricity). Competent HowTos 
for those jobs are readily found on the Internet.

Mine are all RPi3+.

The biggest disadvantage to them is the damn wall warts. But they seem to be 
quite happy with power from a USB3 hub...

What I'm not sure of which filesystem to use.  I could just use ext4 with  
RAID5 or RAID6 to get striping with some fault tolerance (i.e. time to  
replace a failed drive without losing everything). ZFS looks easier, but  
only if you're on BSD.  btrfs sounds like ZFS for Linux, but it appears to  
still be of beta quality, and I can't tell whether it can yet do striping  
with parity.  Any advice?


Hello,

I'd recommend the ext4 filesystem in combination with RAID1 with MDADM of  
each two devices such that you have two or three filesystems.

If everything needs to be a single filesystem, I'd go for RAID10.

I'd stay away from either btrfs or ZFS for these reasons:

btrfs: There have been multiple reports of data loss or difficulty with  
maintaining this filesystem. Although they might be fixed in newer versions,  
the current status remains unclear to me. Additionally, the performance  
behaviour (e.g. when deleting many files) is different from other file  
systems and might be unexpected/unwanted.


ZFS: If it were as easily available as the other kernel-integrated file  
systems, I'd definitely vote for ZFS. Although I percieved it as complex in  
the past, after two hours of experimentation in a VM, it did not seem  
more complex than the ext4+mdadm variant which I am using as of now. I  
can confirm that ZFS needs some RAM: For me it was much more than the
1 GiB/TiB which I had read before, but then again I had a special use case  
with many small files. Other points which I repeatedly see in ZFS  
discussions (without knowing their validity whatsoever):


* ZFS making good use of RAM means non-ECC-RAM can enlarge the chance
  of data corruption.
* ZFS being a server filesystem means power outrages are not handled well.

These are all points which do not drive me away. My reason for not  
using ZFS is simply: It is not integrated into the Linux kernel. Upon every  
kernel update, there is a `dkms`-step involved and if it fails, the system will  
fail to boot. I have used (and am using) various other non-standard kernel  
modules (historically: VirtualBox and OSS4; now: NVidia graphics drivers)  
and each of them has failed upon an update at least once. As all of them  
(VMs, sound, graphics) are rather on the "optional" side of features, I can  
live with that... but I would not trust my files to such a "random source of  
failure" :)


Another interesting question for a file server:
What protocol are you going to use for the actual file-serving?

Non, ce n'est pas aussi tranché que ça. En effet, au début, il va avoir du mal

puisse commencer à comprendre ce qui n'est pas du spam), mais une fois le 
mécanisme
rôdé, tu auras besoin *de temps en temps* de l'aider.
Chez moi, après plusieurs années (10 ?) à utiliser Bogofilter :

- aucun mail légitime n'arrive jamais dans le dossier spam (que je contrôle
systématiquement malgré tout)
- très peu de spams arrivent dans ma boîte de réception
- quelques messages de temps en temps ne sont pas suffisamment caractérisés,
tombent dans un dossier dédié et je lui indique si c'est du spam ou non.

En effet, une fois que ton adresse est "grillée", plus grand-chose à faire que

filtrer ce qui t'arrive (voir ci-dessus).

D'où l'intérêt de spécialiser les adresses.

Encore une fois, il ne s'agit pas de configurer un serveur complet. Avoir un
serveur dédié ne veut pas non-plus dire que tu seras mieux "blindé".

La solution (d'une efficacité redoutable) :

- tu achètes un domain 'toto.org'
- tu as une boîte principale ('m...@toto.org')
- tu veux t'inscrire sur un site 'malveillant.com', tu crées un alias mail
  'malveillant-...@toto.org' que tu rediriges vers 'm...@toto.org'
- tu reçois tout ça dans ta boîte mail principale
- le jour où tu reçois du spam sur l'adresse 'malveillant-com@', tu la 
supprimes

Ça te permet de fermer le robinet quand tu le veux. Ça te permet même de savoir

I think that last statement needs a grin. ;-) Any way I made a tarball, 
then xz'd it, saveing a nominal gigabyte to DL. I'd still like to make a 
deb out of it. I might see if I can do a dummy install and tar.xz that.  
When I'm awake again. :)

I have very little idea what all that was supposed to do, but I did 
figure out how to tar it, then xz the resultant a.tar. Thats working now 
and looks like it might be done in another hour. Big, ready built, rt 
kernel for an rpi4. I'd luv to be able to make a deb as it would be 5% 
of the size of this. or less. All the deb needs to do is:

sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtb /boot/
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/*.dtb* /boot/overlays
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README /boot/overlays
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /boot/kernel7l.img

And reboot the pi.
So all the deb really needs is the data to satisfy the cp's above.

Thanks.

If you want to compress the tree of files of a directory as a whole, then
you need to represent this tree as a single data file. For being
convertable back to a file tree, this representation needs to mark the
tree files by name, position, size, and metadata.
The usual method to do this is to pack up the tree in an archive file
and to compress that file.

Typical archivers are tar, cpio, zip, but also any filesystem that can be
represented as image file. If packing and compression shall be done in
one sweep, then the archiver has to able to put out its result as a data
stream, which you then pipe into the compressor.


> Syntax?

Consider

  tar cf - "$DIRECTORY" | xz > "$DIRECTORY".tar.xz

or if you want a directory tree of compressed data files

  cp -a "$DIRECTORY" "$DIRECTORY"_with_xz
  find "$DIRECTORY"_with_xz -not -name '*.xz' -type f -exec xz '{}' ';'

Have a nice day :)

Gene,

While the manpage says "xz is a general-purpose data compression tool
with command line syntax similar to  gzip", it appears to lack the -r
option. That'd be why the examples found with a "xz directory
compression" google use tar, I figure. (Like in the old days.)

Now we know what "similar" means.

Re: cclive y youtube-dl

[Miguel Ángel Sánchez]

Hola, yo uso youtube-dl pero lo actualizo manualmente, independiente del
sistema de paquetes, ya que lo actualizan constantemente.

La última versión disponible en github es la 2020.01.24 (anteayer), pero en
el repositorio de bullseye la última es la 2019.09.28.
Yo tuve que actualizarlo anteayer porque dejó de funcionarme también.

Para actualizarlo sólo tienes que usar el comando 'youtube-dl -U' con
permisos de superusuario de vez en cuando cuando deje de funcionar, o
esperar a que lo actualicen en el repo de debian, supongo.

Un saludo.

P.D: es la primera vez que uso la lista, así que agradezco que me corrijáis
si hago algo mal (o si me equivoco).
Actualizo: he vuelto a mandar el correo porque creo que la primera vez he
respondido sólo a Rubén, y en la web de la lista no aparece mi mensaje.
Perdón por las molestias.

Howto?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

Trying to sort out how to xz compress.  But xz is rejecting directories, 
like it expects tars output as its input. And the  manpage is silent on 
redirections.

I want to compress the directory foo into foo.xz, keeping foo as there 
may be further patches applied in the future.

Syntax?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
