Indeed, the man page is pretty specific about that.

Development of cpufrequtils seems to have stopped (it's the same version 
since at least jessie, though I didn't look at upstream).

Maybe you should look for other tools?

If you only need to monitor the frequencies and load per core s-tui is a 
nice interactive tool.

In general, if the Kernel is updated, plan to Restart.  Usually,
dist-upgrade is required, when Version Numbers change, requiring addition
of new packages.  The Linux Kernel is a common (but not the only) reason
for this.

Also beware, because Debian occasionally will update the Kernel without
updating the Version Number.  So it is possible that a Restart is required,
without a dist-upgrade.

Good luck!

When to reboot after dist-upgrade?

2021-05-02 Thread riveravaldez
Hi, sorry if this is not the place to ask (and in that case please
point me in the proper direction).

I'm trying to distinguish when a system reboot is an absolute need
and when it is absolutely safe to keep the system running/working
after a `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, once
I have already performed a complete restart of all needed services
through `sudo needrestart' options in Debian testing.

So, in a situation like this:

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package list ... Done
Creating dependency tree ... Done
Reading status information ... Done
Calculating the update ... Done
The following packages have been withheld:
   imagemagick inkscape libc-bin libc6 libc6-dbg libcrypt1
libpoppler-glib8 local openssh-client openssh-server
openssh-sftp-server ssh
0 updated, 0 new will be installed, 0 to remove, and 12 not updated.

$ sudo needrestart
Scanning processes...
Scanning processor microcode...
Scanning linux images...

Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.

Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades.

No services need to be restarted.

No containers need to be restarted.

No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

$ sudo checkrestart
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs
  Output information may be incomplete.
Found 6 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(0 distinct packages)
No packages seem to need to be restarted.
(please read checkrestart(8))

, would be perfectly safe and right to keep the system running or on
the contrary should I perform a (warm/cold?) reboot to be safe?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hint or info.

Kind regards.

No, it wants to sound exactly as it was meant - a joke that you want to

Possibly you want Debian for "ppc64" or "powerpc".
At least the boot equipment of debian-10.0-ppc64-NETINST-1.iso and
debian-10.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso looks like the one of
ubuntu-mate-16.04-desktop-powerpc.iso.
(I.e. CHRP MBR partition and Apple Partition Map announcing a HFS
filesystem. Made by genisoimage. The Debian ppc64el ISO has only CHRP
and was made by xorriso.)

See
  https://wiki.debian.org/PPC64
  https://wiki.debian.org/PowerPC

The latter mentions "G5 Power Macs".

There is a mailing list
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/
where searching for "G5" yields lots of hits
  
https://lists.debian.org/cgi-bin/search?P=G5=or=Gdebian-powerpc==10

So i guess your goal is on topic there.

Trying to debug alsa xruns

2021-05-02 Thread Michael Lange
Hi,

I have been experiencing audio xruns when playing back audio or video
files for a while now and thought I might try to get some debugging
information to find out what's wrong (hardware fault? driver bug?
something else?).
According to https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/XRUN_Debug this requires a
kernel with debug symbols enabled, so I installed the
linux-image-4.19.0-16-amd64-dbg package. However this just installs what
looks like a complete kernel into /usr/lib/debug . I was not able to find
any useful information about what to do with this, currently it seems to
only use up disk space.
Maybe someone can help me out here?

Regards

2021-05-02 Thread didier gaumet



Hello,

From what I understand (If I understand correctly), your processor is a 
powerpc64 Big Indian, not a powerpc64 Little Indian and nowadays the 
rare Linux ditros that still propose a powerpc64 portage do it for Litte 
Indian (ppc64el) as Debian do. So Debian is not compatible with your 
hardware.


The only distros I have found that seem to support your hardware are Gentoo
https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/ (download the PPC64 stage3 image, not 
the ppc or ppc64le ones)
and Adelie (the distro is in RC (release candidate) stage but ther are 
even live images)

https://www.adelielinux.org/download/

Even the *BSD seem to lack support for the Imac G5

Hi Pat,

Debian has 3 architecture for powerpc :
 - ppc64el (official)
 - powerpc (unofficial)
 - ppc64 (unofficial)

Only official architectures have testing and stable branches. Unofficial
architectures have unstable/sid branch only.

I'm not sure what computer architecture your old mac belongs to so try
to use the same architecture you have used with Ubuntu.

Sadly, it doesn't work when combined with `!w`.
[ and I think it'd make sense to allow the shorter `lang:de`.  ]

And of course, the term `language` is an obvious English bias.

For these kinds of searches, I tend to go to Wikipedia first.
One of the reasons is that I can do that via the Wikipedia app which is

when I just try to search for "language:en stieglitz" (without the
quotes) I get search results only in English (first Alfred Stieglitz, next
Victoria Stieglitz, followed by more of Alfred). The same happens when I
prefix my search with language:fr instead, all French search results. It

not mentioned at

If you set your browser's primary "web page" language it works,
too. That's probably what goes into the "Accept-Language" HTTP

Quite random choice, but no birds.

"Stieglitz Vogel", too, yields no birds.

If i set the "All Regions" menu to "Germany" i get the bird as first
match, then the people and the Fw 44 air plane.

Google on the other hand knows where i am and that i understand german
and english language.


Have a nice day :)

You have to set your preferred language to German (not the UI language,
but the language your browser negotiates with web pages: in Firefox
it is "Choose your preferred language for displaying pages") to
German.

As others say in this thread, you have to use your brain a bit more
to be happy with DDG.

To me, honestly, this is a feature, not a bug.

I don't know whether that wants to sound cool or what.

same here and "Stieglitz bird" brings up photos of the bird, the
translation into "European Goldfinch" and the link to "European Goldfinch
- Wikipedia".
It all seems to require a little bit more effort to put into the search
to get what I want from DDG while I usually have to put more effort into
Google-searches to tell Google that I don't want what it "thinks" that I
want - e.g. it "thinks" that I want everything in Spanish and seems to
ignore completely that the country of my residence is a multilingual
country with at least 4 main languages and many others, which are
natively spoken by significant parts of the population.
But as soon as I succeed convincing Google that I want English or Dutch
or German or Portuguese then I am able to extract what I want.
In this line National Geographic is far worse than Google.
Just for once try to get an English edition subscription in a country
which NatGeo considers Spanish-speaking.

this I cannot reproduce here. Searching for "Stieglitz" DDG shows me as
the first result https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stieglitz , followed by
other bird-related pages in German. Switching to DDG's image search I get
a whole page with photos of these cute beasts.

Muchas gracias, Fernando. Ha acertado Usted de pleno.

La inclusión de la opción -p en la invocación del cliente ha hecho que el
funcionamiento de este sea el esperado y correcto.

Agradezco enormemente el esfuerzo colaborativo de soporte que supone
participar en la lista ayudando a otros.

Saludos.
Jose Luis.

Hola.
No da mucha información.
Si es cosa del cliente, puede ser que el servidor use el modo passive
y el cliente normal de ftp, no.
invoca el comando con la opción -p a ver.
S2.



Error ejecutando consultas mediante comando ftp

2021-05-02 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez
Hola, Lista Debian.

Cuando ejecuto el comando ftp desde el terminal ingreso sin problemas en el
servidor ftp (externo) y me identifico con mi usuario y contraseña igual de
exitosamente. Pero cuando voy a ejecutar los comandos internos ls o dir
recibo la siguiente respuesta:

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
425 Could not open data connection to port 47379: Connection refused
ftp>

Debo remarcar que otros clientes como el gráfico gFTP o el también de texto
lftp realizan la operación con total naturalidad y sin error, así que
deduzco que el problema debe estar en el lado de mi cliente y no de parte
del servidor.

La versión de ftp que estoy usando es 0.17-34.1.1.

¿Alguna pista o consejo de porqué puede estar sucediendo esto?.

Muchas gracias anticipadas.

Saludos.
Jose Luis.

Sin connivencia entre el proveedor ISP y el servicio de VPN (marcado de 
paquetes), no.

Ahora bien, ten por seguro que, llegado el caso, el ISP bloqueará 
debidamente el acceso a la VPN y problema (parcialmente) resuelto. 
Existe el precedente de China, que ya lo están haciendo así.
