Re: libtorrent-rasterbar: marked for autoremoval and security-related backport

[Diego Amores]

I dug a little deeper and found out there's a transition [1] in the works to a 
new 2.0 version of the library with a different soname which supports version 2 
of the bittorrent protocol. I guess the transition will resolve before the 
package is autoremoved? And maybe I'll try my hand at backporting this new 
version to bullseye once it reaches testing.

Hyper-typematic and Firefox responsiveness in Weston.

[peter]

Hi,

Debian 11 is easily arranged so that "startx" or "weston" can be 
issued at the console command line.  That allows simple qualitative 
comparisons.

In weston, keyboard response can be hyper-typematic.  The briefest 
keypress can give at least two instances of the key action; sometimes a 
half dozen.  That includes backspace.  Consequently keyboard input is 
impossible. This happens not in every instance of weston but often 
enough to be a nuisance. Has anyone else observed this?

According to documentation, Firefox works natively in Weston.  Ie. 
Firefox doesn't work through Xwayland. With Wayland intended to be 
more efficient than X11 I expect Firefox to be more responsive on 
Weston than on X11.  Nevertheless Firefox is noticeably slower on 
Weston. Anyone else observed this?

Thanks & best regards, ... P.

Hi Didier,

Please find the output from pa-info attached.  Also attached is the
output from alsa-info, just in case.

As this is an old system, it's gone through quite a few Debian releases
etc. so there are indeed half-configured packages lying around.  I'll
spend some time cleaning these up but none seems relevant to the problem
at first glance.  The dpkg audit highlighted nothing and neither did the
firmware diagnostic.

Thanks again,
eric

Other similar options are pdksh, public domain Korn shell. Which is 
available in Debian repositories for some releases. And the dsh command 
on IBM's aix unix-ish OS :-) So with NIM support :-) looking like rsh.


…but these days I also switched to using Ansible ad hoc commands and
playbooks for anything I do repeatedly. Well worth looking into.


The same can be said of the salt utility. Supported at cost by Saltstack 
if necessary. But IMO not the same use-case that the OP intended. One 
salt contributor some time ago was managing more than 10K servers with 
it, I only had a few hundred.


I'll keep these tools in mind for some possible future usage. Right now 
they seem to not exactly be what I was searching for, but obviously my 
initial question was lacking a proper description of my aspired usage 
scenario, especially the wish to keep sessions running interactively 
while also sending ad hoc commands simultanously to all these sessions.

Your answer is much appreciated, thanks a lot for it, and best wishes!

I will test it, although I spontaneously from reading do not expect it

I'm not sure about tools that send commands to multiple hosts already
connected over SSH, but there are some that are designed to execute the

such as pssh and clusterssh:

Many great suggestions! It took me some time to follow all suggested 
links. Spontaneously it appears to me that clusterssh would best fit my 
special needs, and this tool would compete with the tmux functionality 
to synchronize panes when needed, as mentioned in one of the linked

If all you want to do is launch the same command everywhere, it's
pretty simple in tmux. Get all your logins in different panels and
then synchronize them so the same command is launched in all. Then
unsync to go through and interact individually again.

 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16325449/how-to-send-a-command-to-all-panes-in-tmux

Basically you are wanting a scriptable full terminal, so tmux fits
the bill I think. You can remote control it from outside in many
ways to get it to do what you want.

It's good to know: I do not think the use of Alsa is bad per se but I
do think one has to be careful and know what she/he is doing if in
conjunction with the use of Pulseaudio.

Hypothetical explanations to the problem could be:

- packages half-installed, half-configured or obsolete/local, 
$ sudo dpkg --audit
 or
$ sudo aptitude search '~c'
 followed by
$ sudo aptitude search '~o')
 could enlighten us

- The chance is very slim and I do not thonk this is a real
possibility, but Pulseaudio could refuse to list a device that Alsa
lists, because of a missing firmware. 
$ sudo journalctl -b -g firmware

(please paste here the result of previous commands)

I understand from your answer that with Ansible it will be possible to 
send commands to various destinations, and on its website (which I 
quickly have had a look at) it claims, that it is good for repeating 
several command long tasks. Right?


As my aim is to interactively run the same commands on several machines, 
in order to observe if they everywhere behave the same or what different 
results they would produce, does each SSH session report back to Ansible 
the console output of the command, or allow interactivity with the 
session like answering questions at the console if the command would 
produce a question, as tmux allows such interactivity? Or is Ansible 
thought to send non-interactive commands which are supposed to not write 
output back to a visible console?


Maybe I specify better what I want to do: for educational or for 
diagnostic purpose or for developing and testing a script, I would like 
to run a same command on various Linux systems, which have different 
configurations, and to then observe at the various consoles the result 
of it. So, the Ansible feature for handling repetitive tasks is for sure 
nice, but for me it is more of interest to write a command once and to 
observe its behavior multiple times, also after having sent the command 
once to all sessions to then interactivity follow up in each individual 
session where needed.


To everybody thanks to all the interesting feedback already provided, 
also in the parallel to his sub-thread answers!

Other similar options are pdksh, public domain Korn shell. Which is
available in Debian repositories for some releases. And the dsh command on
IBM's aix unix-ish OS :-) So with NIM support :-) looking like rsh.

The same can be said of the salt utility. Supported at cost by Saltstack if
necessary. But IMO not the same use-case that the OP intended. One salt
contributor some time ago was managing more than 10K servers with it, I
only had a few hundred.

Default sound level always zero for externally plugged usb sound system

[Pankaj Jangid]

I have stuck into a strange problem. Everything was working fine a
couple of days ago.

I use external USB mic Yeti Blue. This has a zero latency speaker output
as well. I use that for my headphones.

Whenever I plug the USB in, it is detected and it becomes the default
device for INPUT as well as OUTPUT. This is fine.

The problem is that the volume of speaker is zero. Though the master
volume is NOT zero. So what I use this workaround - launch ‘alsamixer’
and select “Blue Device” using F6. And then increase volume (F3 -
playback). Here the volume is always zero when I plug the device.

I don’t what has changed in last few days.

Is there a way to tell Debian to save the previous volume level of
externally plugged-in device?

Regards
Pankaj

I'm not sure about tools that send commands to multiple hosts already
connected over SSH, but there are some that are designed to execute the
same command on multiple hosts by initiating SSH connections to them,
such as pssh and clusterssh:

Hello Didier,

No problem in insisting.  Part of my problem is not knowing how to frame
my question and give the right background information so any prompting
is welcome!

Please see image attached, showing what I see in the configuration tab
of pavucontrol.  I cannot capture the image of the popup menu that
appears when I click on the Digital Stereo (HDMI 2) Output profile but
all it lists are Digital (Stereo or Surround) HDMI outputs, all but one
not available.

On other systems, there are other entries in the configuration tab which
is what I would expect here as well.  My fundamental question is why
does the on-board sound card not appear for this system?

All of my sound configurations are defaults, IIRC.

I do not (consciously) have any software set up to use alsa.  I have
only mentioned alsa for two reasons: on previous threads in this
newsgroup, alsamixer is mentioned as a means of diagnosing sound issues
and because alsamixer does show all the devices/channels.  Having said
this, all the audio/vidoe software I use (emms in Emacs via vlc,
Firefox, Skype, Teams, Zoom, ...) go through pulseaudio and appear in
the pavucontrol Playback tab when in use.

Yes, this is what I have had in the past but the alternatives
disappeared some time ago now (sometime halfway through 2020, I think).
I've resisted trying to sort this out while I have had to depend on
sound working, at least to some degree, while I had online meeting and
teaching requirements.  Now I have a short break from these so I am
trying to solve the problem, but it's not a mission critical problem!

Yes, these exist and I can generate full reports.  I just do not know
what to look for.  Any pointers would be welcome and I would be happy to
send the output of these to this group.

My pulseaudio settings are as they come "out of the box" including, for
instance, the use of module-udev-detect instead of explicitly using any
of the alsa modules.

Thank you for the link.  I will read that FAQ in case I can find
something to help.  I am not sure combining outputs is what I want but
maybe that's what I need to do.  I'll play around.

I created the same scheme as Debian usually do for beginner (one

Now it ask twice for the passphrase.

I have one partition (/boot sda1) + another partition (logical /sda5)
I have one volume group
I have two logical volume, one being the swap (16 GB) and the other one

Sorry to insist, but do you mean that the configuration tab only
*lists* HDMI even if you click on the HDMI profile?
Or that this tab only *shows* the (HDMI) by-default profile if you do
not click on it, so not *listing* anything?

>From what I understand, but I am not sure I understand correctly,
Pulseaudio won't use devices already used by Alsa. So, for example, if
you have a media software setup that declares to use alsa instead of
Pulseaudio, while you use that software, Pulseaudio cannot access the
devices used by Alsa (not sure of that).  

> thank you,

> 

If your (media softwares and Alsa) setup does not prevent the use of
Pulseaudio, I would imagine that you simply have to switch the profile
in the configuration tab (between "HDMI" and something roughly called
"Stereo Analog Duplex" or something like that)

As a side note, in a terminal you will obtain a full blown report on
Pulseaudio with the pa-info or pactl list something commands (cf
respective manpages)

Another way of doing things would be to split (simultaneous playing)
the audio output between your monitor speakers (Nvidia, HDMI) and your
headphones (Intel analogic card, mini-jack). The Pulseaudio doc gives
some hints there:
