Re: Which takes priority, ipv4, or ipv6?

The op doesn't say how this is configured but ULAs often appear around tunnels. uncomment the first five lines here to do what RFC3484 suggests. #label ::1/128 0 #label ::/0 1 #label 2002::/16 2 #label ::/96 3 #label :::0:0/96 4 #label fec0::/10 5 #label fc00::/7 6 #label 2001:0::/32 7 Tim

Hello. I have installed these packages on Debian 11 : freenect/stable,now 1:0.5.3-2 amd64 [installed] libfreenect-bin/stable,now 1:0.5.3-2 amd64 [installed, automatic] libfreenect-demos/stable,now 1:0.5.3-2 amd64 [installed] libfreenect-dev/stable,now 1:0.5.3-2 amd64 [installed] libfreenect-doc/stable,stable,now 1:0.5.3-2 all [installed, automatic] libfreenect0.5/stable,now 1:0.5.3-2 amd64 [installed, automatic] What I really like to do is to choose the kinect xbox 360 as a mic. I find it very comfortable to talk without having a mic in my mouth. I can use it to send voice messages to my whatsapp and Telegram friends. I've already done the same with the kinect 2 that I have attached to my Jetson nano and it worked. But on the Jetson Nano I have installed Ubuntu 20.04. So,I would like to know...what's still missing on Debian,after having installed the packages that you see above ? Because I don't see any Xbox NUI Sensor Analog Surround 4.0 on the XFCE pulseaudio addon (instead,it is present on Ubuntu 20.04). Thanks.

Ahh, some things are coming back to me (it is interesting getting old -- among other things, I'm remembering things from long ago that I had forgotten -- I sort of wonder if that is a slow motion version of my life flashing before my eyes which might mean I'm in deep trouble ;-) Anyway, I now remember that there were at least two ways that I found to do that in the Microsoft world -- one was a standalone utility, which name I still don't remember, but the other was a feature built into Microsoft Word (at least in the versions I used 20 to 30 years ago). I don't know if [Libre | Open] Office has a similar feature. Far aside: I am remembering that I once wrote a literate program (ala Knuth) in Microsoft Word (and it worked) -- I could (easily compile it from the Word document, or view it with or without the "literacy". Unfortunately, the client company went out of business before the program was put in service.

Thanks for the reply! I don't remember the name of the utility that I used to use in the Microsoft world, but it was very nice in showing changes within lines or paragraphs, using underline and crossout (wrong name). Just to create an example, suppose I changed the previious paragraph to say "I never used in Linux:" then that utility would show something like what I show below. Aside: I'm not sure I can show crossout in an email, so will precede and end it with "-". The utility also showed a vertical line at the beginning of either a line or paragraph that had changed.

If it is prose text formatted as a line per paragraph then wrapped lines become a must have feature. I do not use such approach, but sometimes I use :wrap command in vimdiff. I tried meld several years ago, but I found no reason to use it instead of vim. Out of curiosity I have tried "meld wrap line" in a search engine and got a couple of stackoverflow questions. Answers recommend Meld → Preferences → Editor → Enable text wrapping. I believe that an editor is suited much better than a viewer for reviewing of edited version of text.

FAQ mensuelle pour la liste de discussion debian-user-french
Bonjour à tous, Debian-user-french est une liste de discussion visant à aider les utilisateurs de Debian et à faciliter les discussions sur des sujets liés à Debian. Voici quelques lignes directrices qui peuvent aider à expliquer comment fonctionne la liste : * La langue de la liste est le français. Il existe d'autres listes pour les autres langues (par exemple, debian-users-italian). * La liste est un canal de communication de Debian. À ce titre, elle est soumise au code de conduite des listes de diffusion ainsi qu'à celui général. https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct * Cette liste a un trafic relativement important. Il se peut donc que vous deviez attendre un peu avant d'obtenir une réponse, veuillez être patient. Merci de répondre à la liste car les conversations privées ne profitent pas aux autres utilisateurs ou lecteurs des archives de la liste. * L'aide et les conseils sont fournis par des bénévoles sur leur temps libre. Il arrive que des opinions divergentes s'expriment. * Veuillez essayer de rester dans le thème. Les discussions hors sujet ne sont pas bienvenues ici. Les discussions partisanes, politiques, religieuses ou culturelles ne sont pas souhaitables sur cette liste. La communauté Debian est internationale, ne pensez pas que les autres seront d'accord avec vos idées, ni qu'ils voudront même les lire sur une liste Debian. * Une question revient de temps en temps sur presque toutes les listes : « J'ai fait quelque chose de mal ou mis des détails personnel dans un message. Pourriez-vous le supprimer s'il vous plaît ? » En pratique, c'est impossible : les listes sont archivée, voire dans le cache de Google et autres. Malheureusement, nous ne pouvons pas faire grand-chose pour vous assurer que toutes les copies sur Internet de votre message seront supprimées. Le fait de le demander ne peut qu'attirer encore plus l'attention (c'est l'effet Streisand documenté ici : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effet_Streisand Un problème ? = Toute plainte sur un comportement inadapté doit être adressée à l'équipe communautaire e Debian (idéalement en anglais, mais on peut traiter le français).

Monthly FAQ for Debian-user list (unmodified 1/4/2023)
Debian-user is a mailing list provided for support for Debian users, and to facilitate discussion on relevant topics. Some guidelines which may help explain how the list works: * The language on this mailing list is English. There may be other mailing lists that are language-specific, for example, debian-user-french * It is common for users to be redirected here from other lists, for example, from debian-project. It is also common for people to be posting here when English is not their primary language. Please be considerate. * The list is a Debian communication forum. As such, it is subject to both the Debian mailing list Code of Conduct and the main Debian Code of Conduct https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct * This is a fairly busy mailing list and you may have to wait for an answer - please be patient. Please post answers back to the list so others can benefit; private conversations don't benefit people who may be following along on the list or reading the archives later. * Help and advice on this list is provided by volunteers in their own time. It is common for there to be different opinions or answers provided. * Please try to stay on topic. Arguments for the sake of it are not welcome here. Partisan political / religious / cultural arguments do not belong here either. Debian's community is world wide; do not assume others will agree with your views or need to read them on a Debian list. * There is an FAQ on the Debian wiki derived from some questions asked on this list at https://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser * One question that comes up on almost all Debian lists from time to time is of the form: "I have done something wrong / included personal details in an email. Could you please delete my name / details / remove the mail" Practically, this is impossible: the mailing lists are archived, potentially cached by Google and so on. Unfortunately, there is nothing much we can do to ensure that all copies anywhere on the Internet are deleted. Asking to do this may only serve to draw further attention - the so-called "Streisand effect" See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect Problems? = Complaints about inappropriate behaviour should be referred to the Debian Community Team . Inappropriate behaviour on the list may lead to warnings; repeated bad behaviour may lead to temporary or permanent bans for offenders.

One use of OpenAI's software, though, has been discussed in this list: Github Copilot (a Microsoft product). It uses all the software published under Github (even that published under copyleft licenses) without even helping the users to follow the license the software is coming from. Microsoft says this is no problem. On the other hand, they don't train Copilot with their own proprietary software (they seem to see a problem there). I'm convinced that they are trying to dilute the significance of copyleft licenses. I don't think that's their main thrust, but they see that as a collateral benefit. This is, in my eyes, hostile to free software. Cheers -- t [ ... ] Thank you, Mr. Tomas. You have given me a direction to find out more. Yes, Doze's "proprietary"-ty is troublesome.

They named the project as OpenAI. Perhaps (quite probably) the original authors dreamt of some openness. Then, big Microsoft money flowed in. Those things happen time and again. Remember when Google had "do no evil" as motto? > Would > like to know the aspects on "... Besides, it's being used in very > free-software unfriendly ways, but this > is a whole different story." I'm not going into big depths here. One use of OpenAI's software, though, has been discussed in this list: Github Copilot (a Microsoft product). It uses all the software published under Github (even that published under copyleft licenses) without even helping the users to follow the license the software is coming from. Microsoft says this is no problem. On the other hand, they don't train Copilot with their own proprietary software (they seem to see a problem there). I'm convinced that they are trying to dilute the significance of copyleft licenses. I don't think that's their main thrust, but they see that as a collateral benefit. This is, in my eyes, hostile to free software. Cheers -- t signature.asc Description: PGP signature
OT: Live-Build creator with GUI?
Hi folks, I am looking for a live-build creation tool with a gui. The goal is, easily to click any software I want to use (even packages of thiurd parties) and then get a fully for my purposes customized live-file. And it must be run with debian and usinng debian. Yes, I could use live-build in the commandline (like I do witk kali linux). I do NOT want to decide, which windowmanager, but maybe I want to decide which of the windowmangers are beein installed. And yes, I know, there are live-build meta-packages for different windowmanagers available. In short: I dicovered "live-magic" which is no more available, I also discovered "cubic", but this can not be installed on debian, except I am running bookworm (which I do not want to run). Does anyone know a live-build-gui, which is running in debian (NOT Ubuntu!!!), with ready to install packages for debian/bullseye and free and open-source? If there is none, this information would also be appreciated. Thank you for any help. Best regards Hans

From what i read, your problem found a resolution suiting your needs, which i refrain from reading as an aprils fool prank. ;-) In fact, unfortunately, i did not understand the necessity to wrap the output, as i am happily using the synchronised scrollbar (inside meld) in such cases, but ofc, that may not fit your use case. Sorry for that. Happy diffing DdB

On Sat, 1 Apr 2023 Susmita/Rajib wrote: My illustrious team leaders and senior debian-user list-members, [trimmed: admirably comprehensive description of OPs use-case] Diff helps in comparing the two draft editions. It does indeed do what it was designed to do. Dear Mr. l0f4r0: that pointer, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/537418/how-to-make-text-wrap-with-diff-y; indeed helped and led me to icdiff which is wonderful. Unfortunately, for two very large text files, the terminal truncates the beginning and just highlights the end sections of the files. As you have discovered, if you do not pipe output to a pager, it will not be paged. Icdiff didn't work with " | less". "Didn't work." A remarkably inarticulate non-description, and uncharacteristic of our honored declaimant. Try icdiff file1 file2 | less -R and report back. But it sure worked with " | more". Similarly, with diff -y <(fold -s -w72 file1) <(fold -s -w72 file2) -W 200, the beginning is truncated and only the end is displayed. And yes, it works with " | more". But it is bland. "Bland" is not a bug. If "spicy" is a requirement for your professional tools, my sympathy dwindles to a trickle. Without colours differences can't be spotted so easily. One gets the feeling that you find colors very helpful. Sounds like a requirement to me. Say so prominently: "I require differences to be highlighted in vibrant color." [trimmed: copious acknowledgments] Bottom line is: icdiff is wonderful, but from a terminal it becomes limited. Can;t a good programmer have icdiff ported to GUI? In its present form its output can be piped to other utilities, such as the pagers more, less, and most. This is compositionality, which multiplies the usefulness of a tool. Toolmakers appreciate this, as do intelligent tool users. It would be the best solution available for me, and for people like me. [rest trimmed] If you are in the business of producing and processing text, it might be more productive for you to invest more time in learning how to take professional advantage of unix text-processing tools, and to spend less time trying to tell the rare developer that may peruse debian-user what they ought to develop for you. -- Hackers are free people.

Russia is currently developing an equivalent, so it may pay to keep an eye on that. They have already developed an equivalent to ChatGPT. Cheers!

How to get rid of the synaptic message (mentioned below) at the end of installing a package?
My illustrious team leaders and senior debian-user list-members, My present Debian system installed from "Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 11.6.0 lxde 2022-12-17T11:46" While installing a package I receive this following message: W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) What should I do to address this report or stop receiving this message? It doesn't appear to be a harmful report so far as my system is concerned. My user-id can't access root report, I guess. But any advice would be welcome. Best wishes, Rajib B Etc.
