I tried a freshly-formatted 16GB stick, and the document scanned successfully. The PDF is just shy of 40MB for 360 pages. The scanner was hiccuping a lot toward the end, though - I suspect that its algorithms don't scale up nicely beyond 300 pages or so.

Re: Cannot mount DFS shares after upgrade to 10.9

Seems that the kernel update is the cause – I applied just the kernel update and same thing happens. The mounts that stopped working were targeting Windows domain DFS shares.

Is it all? I suspect the process which "mail" talks about is in fact /usr/bin/sendmail, which resolves as one of the msmtp programs; you can check that by following the /usr/bin/sendmail symlink, and by using strace to see which child process of "mail" is the cause of this error message: strace -e trace=process -o /tmp/strace.log mail -s ...

Cannot mount DFS shares after upgrade to 10.9
We have some autofs mounts that stopped working after the 10.9 updates were applied. Seems that the kernel update is the cause - I applied just the kernel update and same thing happens.

On 2021-04-02 10:56 a.m., Charlie Gibbs wrote: Emboldened by this, I went into the advanced options and turned on "Continuous scan", then dropped in the first part of a 300-page manual. Once the sheets were scanned, the scanner asked me whether I had more; I put in the next bundle of sheets, said yes, and away it went. All was well until partway through the last set of pages - on about page 280 the scanner halted with an error message saying it had run out of space. A sheet was half-fed, the PDF file was incomplete and therefore corrupt, and a second file was created which contained garbage left over from a previously deleted file. That's not graceful - the least it could have done was closed off the file cleanly. The 2GB thumb drive was only 3% full. (Maybe the limit is internal to the scanner.) For now I'll assume a limit of 200 pages per file, and use pdfunite to put the pieces together in the computer. I did some more experimenting with scanning this larger manual (about 360 pages, it turns out). I re-formatted that 2GB thumb drive and tried again; this time the scanner fed the last sheet before coming up with the error message. I forget the exact wording, but it was pretty specific about the USB device being full, as opposed to some sort of internal memory overflow. (Apparently the scanner has 512MB of memory.) Again I got a corrupt PDF file, plus a second file which contained data which should have only existed on my other computers - which makes me wonder about data security. I suspect that the scanner needs a _lot_ of extra space on the USB device to build the PDF file. I tried again with a freshly-formatted 16GB stick and the entire document scanned successfully. The finished PDF file is just short of 40 megabytes. Toward the end of the scanning, the scanner was pausing more and more frequently - it seems that things don't scale too well beyond about 300 pages. Still, it's turning out to be a nice little scanner for offline use. If anyone has managed to do SFTP from a Brother scanner, let me know how you did it. I realize that this has turned into a review of the scanner, but I've gotten so far into it that I might as well see it through to the end.

Bizarrement, au démarrage, on dirait que la config est "gélée" et ne tient pas compte des mises à jour précédentes. Quand tu arrives sur l'écran de Grub (menu de sélection du système à démarrer), si tu édites la ligne sélectionnée (je ne me rappelle plus exactement de la touche, je dirais bien "e", elle est indiquée en bas de l'écran), est-ce que ce que tu vois correspond bien au noyau que tu aimerais voir démarrer (5.10.0-5-amd64) ?

*facepalm*
I don't understand what you don't understand. It's so frustrating.
When you do a command like
host www.debian.org
This uses the "nameserver" line(s) in resolv.conf to decide where to
send the requests.
When you OVERRIDE THIS WITH AN IP ADDRESS ON THE COMMAND LINE, it uses
that IP address as the nameserver (recursive resolver) instead.
SYNOPSIS
host [-aACdlnrsTUwv] [-c class] [-N ndots] [-p port] [-R number] [-t
type] [-W wait] [-m flag] [ [-4] | [-6] ] [-v] [-V] {name} [server]
[...]
server is an optional argument which is either the name or IP address
of the name server that host should query instead of the server or
servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.
See there? You've specified a {name} (www.debian.org) and an optional
[server] (192.168.1.254). Therefore it uses that instead of whatever
is written in resolv.conf.
The entire point of running this command was to probe the nameserver
at 192.168.1.254 and see whether it's working correctly.
> $ host -v -t A www.debian.org 192.168.1.254
> Trying "www.debian.org"
> ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
It's not working correctly. Now you know.

The problem with some packages is that they're impossible to keep up to date in the traditional way, seemingly, and Ubuntu want to use snaps to make things easier to manage / quicker to update. Lots of different ways to make a distribution: Ubuntu / MXlinux and all sorts of others, each with their own ideas, Debian with theirs - lots of shades of opinion dividing the pool of Linux users and Linux development talent. Ubuntu is a commercial distribution with its own viewpoint - though when I first came across it (before it first released in 2005 - when it was still a quiet discussion) it was described to me by one of the very first participants "If we could have got away with calling it Debian for desktops, we would have done" - so stuff has quietly changed in tha last 16 years as has the overall profile of the distribution. All best, Andy C.

I'd like to stir some debates. Ubuntu (which is 'enterprise friendly Debian with ambivalent feeling about free software') started to push snaps onto servers for real. It looks to me like they desperately want to jump away from debs into 'vendor friendly packaging'. Is it so?

Després de moltes sessions de recerca i desenvolupament, s'està elaborant un assistent per als enllaços VPN (gesvipen), un altre per a les rutes NAT/DNAT (durruter) i un altre per a la configuració de contenidors LXC 2 i LXC 3 (ctctl).

Agreed, one of the many 'spare' routers I have is a Cisco-badged one, bought specifically because it advertised Radius compatibility. Yes, I know most routers do now, but this was a while ago. It took me a while to work it out, but it had a bug which under most circumstances forgot the Radius configuration. I spent some time with iptables and wireshark before working this out, along with the workaround, bearing in mind this was also my first attempt at running freeradius. Too many things to get right all at once. Yes, I did it in the end. But I've been associated with a household-name Japanese company for around forty years, and I've used many examples of their software, both public and private. I know what I'm talking about. And I've recently had experience of several examples of software in Chinese products, which was presumably written either in China or somewhere even cheaper. -- Joe

Effectivement j'obtenais avec phpinfo() : PHP Version 7.0.33-0+deb9u3
J'ai donc purgé tous les php7.0.
C'était le php7.0 metapacakge qui avait appelé tous les 7.3
Maintenant il n'existe plus et je ne trouve pas de php7 metapackage.
J'ai redémarré les services mariadb, php7, apache2
A cette étape, le navigateur n'affiche que la source du .php
reboot
Même chose.
Du coup j'ai purgé tous les php7...
reboot - réinstallation (je sais, ça fait beaucoup de reboot)
aptitude search php7 |grep "^i"
i A php7.3-cli - command-line interpreter for the PHP scripting language
i A php7.3-common - documentation, exemples et module commun pour PHP
i php7.3-fpm - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (FPM-CGI binary)
i A php7.3-json - module JSON pour PHP
i A php7.3-opcache - module Zend OpCache pour PHP
i A php7.3-readline - module readline pour PHP
i php7.3-xml - module DOM, SimpleXML, WDDX, XML et XSL pour PHP
C'est toujours la même chose, le navigateur n'affiche que les
sources.
Je ne sais plus ... faire un rapport de bug ?
Je n'en ai pas trouvé pour php7.
En tous cas merci pour votre soutien.

That took me some time to track down, as it was fine with nearly all of them, and I was fairly new to networking.
