Re: selinux on bookworm
Everyone, First of all thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I have to apologize, because the actual problem was somewhat silly: selinux appears to be preventing only *root* login at the tty, which I neglected to mention. (Also, I neglected to check until now). Regular user logins are fine. I'll open an issue.

selinux on bookworm
Hello, I'm trying to get selinux working on a fresh, gui-free installation of bookworm. I'm not trying to run any servers, nor use standard desktop utilities (yet). I was hoping this setup would be simple enough that selinux would be simple to get going. I'm following [1], which is very straightforward. The problem I'm getting is that it seems woefully incomplete. I cannot even login (com="agetty" is showing up in audit2why). Now, obviously, I could follow the instructions and use audit2allow, and go down the rabbit hole for configuring policies. But, really? No one has fixed the login-at-the-console use case? I'm sure I must be doing something wrong. All I've really done is: apt-get install selinux-basics selinux-policy-default auditd selinux-activate (reboot) (set enforcing=1 in grub) update-grub touch /.autorelabel (reboot) And then I cannot log in. Going back and unsetting enforcing=1 in grub, and I can use audit2why. Does anyone who actually uses selinux have any hints?

I use usbauth to protect the host, and I seem to remember having trouble coercing libvirt to pass a usb device with untrusted interfaces (or maybe libvirt could only forward usb interfaces?). So I resorted to usbip, which allowed me to forward a usb device with no trusted interfaces. My biggest complaint is that there was no way to have usbip communicate over a domain socket (or better still, stdin/stdout). Then again, it's right there in the name, so can I really complain about that? I found forwarding ports to be "clunky", but I'm pretty sure a lot of other people would have found redirecting unix pipes to be clunky to them. To each their own, I suppose.

That said, I disabled "automatically fix broken packages before installing or removing" under "dependency handling" in options->preferences . I always review what exactly is being done (in those situations) by looking over what is expressed after hitting "g" and making sure I'm happy with it. I (personally) use this. It's extremely powerful if used correctly, but can be tricky. Force a package installation by highlighting something and pressing "+". You can mark things manually installed with "m" (and auto-installed/removable with "M"). If things go south after one action, press "Control-u" to undo that. Things can get tangled here, but you always see what happens before you do it! You may have to review suggested resolutions of things ("!" will apply the recommendation, sometimes this does NOTHING, which is a little counter-intuitive at first). Set a package to be kept in the original state with ":", and force-hold to it's current version (and pin it there) with "=". Notice that ":" may still uninstall a package if it is automatically installed and nothing depends on it (anymore)! I just tried to get apper working, and could not get it to ask for authorization through polkit. That might be a trixie bug, a "I locked polkit down too tight" bug, or a wayland bug. If you *really* want a gui, I'd at least try apper. I wasn't willing to try synaptic (GTK dependencies and all). You might be able to get your Xwayland token to root, but I don't recommend running root GUI applications.

pppoe performance on debian and debian as router / firewall
Hi, I'm planning to setup a router and firewall based on debian for my home lab. I know there are better (I mean, easier...) choices for this type of machine (have tried some of them, currently using pfsense) but I do want to find out if I could use debian. The problem is my ISP uses pppoe for my symmetric 1 gbps connection and I know this type of connection requires a quite performant cpu, as it is single-threaded and uses only one cpu core. I'm currently using a supermicro motherboard with a (four core) N3710 and setting up ipfire, pfsense, opnsense or similar to use all my bandwidth is a real pain (if even possible...) I've been looking for reports on pppoe performance in debian on similar hardware but have found none (most people seem to be using freebsd-based firewalls these days), so my questions are: Does anyone here have any experience using debian as of router and firewall on such hardware as mine using pppoe? Is there any way debian could use the four cores of my cpu to handle pppoe traffic? Or any other way to improve pppoe performance... And finally, I am planning on using shorewall for the firewall. I have been looking at the docs but have found no examples for a 4 nic machine. I guess that's possible, isn't it? Cheers!

(If not, it's a bug.). You can easily view this with aptitude: 0. Install aptitude and open it up. 1. Find the package: type /^sudo$ 2. Hit return again to bring up details of the selected package 3. Use the down arrow key to go to "packages which depend on sudo" 4. Hit enter to open up the list of packages. 5. Browse the list to see which packages may be affected. But, more specifically to your question about sudo, let me argue that, at the level of paranoia required to be worried about sudo, you should also be worried about a LOT of other packages. For instance, if you are worried about the "opaque" ACLs used in sudoers*, I encourage you to look in /etc/dbus-1/system.d . I think there are other places where these kinds of files live, but I haven't yet gotten around to understanding how to easily audit these settings. Similarly, the logic associated with authentication (and message passing) could easily be more susceptible to buffer overflows than sudo. But yeah, generically, if you really do not use a piece of software, it's safer not to have it installed.

adding a second HDD in debian
Hi I have a PC with Debian 10 installed (on dev/sda), and working properly. Now I would like to add to it a second, 150 GB HDD (SATA), taken from another machine. It is already partitioned with a combination of ntfs and ext4 partitions, and I would like to keep it that way, because I want the info stored in it. I have seen several posts in the web on this subject, but almost all talk about formating and repartitioning the second HDD, which I'd rather not do. How could that be done? Any clue will be greatly appreciated

Re: Advice on new desktop/building?
Hi Jen, I also assembled my first desktop quite recently and I'm running Linux in it. My target specs were significantly higher than yours, but the cost of all the parts was around $650. If you want, I can give you the listing of want I built as a guide and you just remove or replace each part with something that fits your target goal. (Note that I'm living in the US; the prices and availability in your area may be different.) Note that an alternative to assembling your own is to buy a barebone or small-factor PC from Newegg (under "Computer hardware"). These computers are usually sold without memory and disk, which is good because you can just add exactly what you want. The downside is that the CPUs are usually weaker or clocked down in order to fit into the small package and not run too hot. Another element to consider is that they might only support one output monitor. If you are assembling your own, you should decide which parts you will need and make sure that you have the appropriate connectors between them. Also, you should look at different places for the best prices on each part. I ended up buying parts some parts from MicroCenter and some from Newegg. In order to get the small form factor, you will most likely have to use a micro ATX or mini ITX motherboard. If you have a MicroCenter close to you, that's probably the best place to buy the motherboard and CPU. If you buy it as a bundle, you can get really good deals. I bought the AMD FX6300 with the ASRock Extreme and payed $170+tax for the bundle. (But, make sure to double-check all the prices at the register. In my case, the bundle discount was not applied automatically, for example.) You can get the same CPU with a micro ATX motherboard for $110+tax, and that's plenty of CPU... You will also need a case (make sure it supports the size of your motherboard), disk, memory, and maybe a graphics card (see below) and power supply. Note that if you buy a small factor case, some already have an integrated power supply, so check for that. The downside of the AMD/motherboard configuration I mentioned above is that you would have to add a graphics card. There are two solutions: you select a CPU with an integrated GPU, or add a graphics card. The "fusion" CPUs from AMD have integrated GPUs that are comparable to those of entry-level graphics cards but they are poorly supported in Linux, so you end up with basically the same thing as the integrated graphics on an Intel CPU. Alternatively, you can get basic graphics cards from Newegg for $30. For example, an Nvidia GeForce 210 costs $30 and has 3 outputs (note that the graphics card requires a power supply of at least 300W, which may be a problem with some of small cases). I'm suggesting Nvidia because it currently has much better driver support in Linux. Finally, note that although I pointed out AMD CPUs I'm not suggesting that they are better. I did so because, for the uses that you mentioned, they are cheaper and should provide more than enough compute power for several years.

RE: Set widescreen resolution in console
Thank you Dmitrii. I did try "vga=ask" but that option is no longer supported by the debian kernel. On the grub console, I also tried vbeinfo and couldn't find the 1024x480 mode. And vbetest only worked with 640x480.

Set widescreen resolution in console
Hi everyone, I have recently acquired an old Sony Vaio PCG-C1VN (aka, a "PictureBook") and installed Debian wheezy. The problem is that I can only get the *console* to run at 640x480 resolution. The C1VN has a (very wide) native resolution of 1024x480, but using only 640x480 is a serious waste of screen real estate. It works fine in X but, the for uses I have in mind (playing some music and reading/writing text), all I need works on the console. Moreover, using X slows down the machine enough to have a noticeable drag (not unbearable, not very annoying). (Bear in mind all this has is a Transmeta Crusoe @600MHz ~= Pentium II @400Mhz, and 112MB of RAM.) I'm using kernel modesetting (KMS) with the radeon kernel module (graphics card is an ATI Rage Mobility / Mach64). I tried setting the mode in GRUB via the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX option, creating my own framebuffer mode, but either made no difference or I ended up with an even smaller resolution?! If you have any ideas or pointers to potential solutions, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you. Best regards, Antonio

Re: Graphical app on startup
Hi again, Ok. Now, I have clear why I didn't get launch Java app. I don't know if I have to use GNOME Desktop or whatever because, in text mode, if I try launch fvwm, appears an error about display. So, I should to install a Debian in text mode, configure LAN and after that, Debian ¿with or without desktop? I think that without desktop (the idea is to have a small system running with some application like java virtual machine and my java app), after that, what I should to do?

The only thing which is really missing in your setup is firewall. Iptables has a dual personality (reflecting the dual stack devices), there is the normal iptables and the ip6tables for IPV6. The setup you are using does allow you to connect to the IPV6 network out there, but also allows connections from "out there" to your computers. Read: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/42436 there is a free "certification" for IPV6, which might help to understand the basics: http://ipv6.he.net/ http://ipv6.he.net/certification/ Also be sure to set a firewall for IPv6, remember that IPv6 is independent of IPv4 and allows external computers to connect to your systems, even behind the "Debian router": http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ip6tables-ipv6-firewall-for-linux/ http://www.exp-networks.be/blog/ipv6-firewall/ http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Is_your_firewall_IPv6_aware This programs for firewall setting in debian may be of help: http://wiki.debian.org/Firewalls Shorewall seems to be a good choice. -- Antonio Perez -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The kernel then takes control and starts the initramfs process which you are reporting as failing. This is further down the boot process than any grub or kernel.

trd boot parameter, but that is a different area: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt line 2193. > The `search' line, as stated in the grub wiki: > Search devices by file, filesystem label or filesystem UUID.

Meaning that if no variable name is supplied, the value is assigned to the `root` variable. This effectively repeats what the previous command did, IMO. > I take this to mean that the first device found _which UUID is_ 785... > (the UUID of my root_gv-root_lv) will be the `root' filesystem.

No way root_vg to be found. Once you have booted into this system, `update-grub` should set this file correctly, grub.cfg will be updated on any kernel change.

from LGPL to dual-license?
Sorry, this is an off-topic question but I'm sure that Debian people know a lot about this issue. I know some people who is trying to license their software as dual-license. Their intention is to be also able to release a propietary version of their software. However, I know that they have used a lot of LGPL software to build it, so in my opinion it is not possible. Do they have the right to release the software as dual-license? In my opinion to release a software as dual-license either all the code has to be developed by you or the license has to be compatible.

Re: what's the best IDE for C programming in Debian?
Hi, I have been using Vim and Emacs for years but I've to admit that Netbeans and Eclipse are really great, specialized IDEs for these kind of tasks. I'd try some of them. For example, last two years I've been developing in C++ for my company and Netbeans has all you need and more: intelligentsense, subversion integration (amazing!!), great editor, . I don't know, simply wonderful. Moreover, both Netbeans and Eclipse are free software. I hope it helps. __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

dhclient: no offers
Hi, My laptop is a Dell XPS M1530. Its network card is a "Marvell Yukon 88E8040". According to the "lspci" command, the system seems to be detecting successfully the network card: [ Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 12)" ] In accordance with other people who also have the same laptop, the driver which should be used is the "sky2" (SysKonnect Yukon2). I compiled it into the kernel and the "dmesg" command shows that it's being loaded successfully. [ sky2 eth0: addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx sky2 eth0: enabling interface sky2 eth0: Link is up at 10 Mbps, half duplex, flow control none ] May be I should test the driver "sk98lin". It's the driver which you can download from the Marvell homepage. At this point I've a little question: Should I compile again the kernel and set the sky2 as a module in order to be able to use the "sk98lin" driver? In any case, this morning my network card got an IP from the DHCP server. The first time it got the IP immediately. Later I had to turn off my computer and when I switched it on again I had to attempt it three times (run three times the dhclient). I really don't know whether it's normal or not. Maybe it's has to do with the broadcast packages. I can't remember well but I read a log message which requested me to read about it. Anyhow, *a lot of thanks* for your replies.

Re: dhclient & booting
Ok, I should have written a bit more. Maybe these points are helpful: * I've also installed Windows XP on my laptop and it works fine so I'm sure that the problem has to do with my linux configuration. * I've tested different kernel versions (three of them). * "dmesg" seems to say that the interface eth0 is fine. The module that the network card needs to work is being loaded successfully (sky2) * However, the wireless interface (wlan0) works fine. It gets an IP from the same DHCP server without any problem. * The "messages" file writes the following message whenever I attempt to get an IP: "no IPv6 routers present". I've been reading about it but people are not agree with this point. Some of them think that it is not important at all and others think that it's necessary to disable IPv6. For example: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-222010.html The most strange point is that sometimes the network card gets an IP without problem... but very few times.

Link failover with ping
Hello all! I`m finding docs/examples about this subject. After some googling, I only found basic scripts. For me (in some networks that I work), these simple scripts available only works with excellent links (dedicated ones). The load balancing part of the problem already was solved with LARTC howto. DGD patch for linux was not a good experience because it only detects the first hop fail and 90% of these fails happens after the first hop (e.g. local router as gateway connected to remote ISP). I searched for some linux distro with this feature (good failover) bult-in, but didnt found something interesting. I would appreciate pointers to docs, distros (for use as starting point), examples or even academic research about the topic. thank you, Tom Lobato -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, the key has Alt_Gr printed on it. I assumed that the Alt_Gr key should work as an Alt key in conjuction with non-symbol keys (Alt_Gr-x etc.). Thanks to your link now I know that it has nothing in common with the other Alt keys. I redefined it using xmodmap, I simply wanted to know if something was wrong with the Debian keymap. Now I understand the issue. > ? Emacs shouldn't care about which Alt key you use The problem is that, to type Meta-x, Meta-v, etc. with the keymap provided by Debian, I have to use the left Alt key. Thus, I have to press 2 keys simultaneously with the left hand, that is not easy nor fast. Cheers, Antonio Regidor García __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

Meta-R key doesn't exist
Hi, I don't know if this is a bug, and where to report it, so I tried this list. The problem is that my keyboard map has a Meta-L (or Alt-L, or Alt-Left) key, but not a corresponding Meta-R key, both in X and the console, using Spanish or English keymaps. The key that should be the Meta-R key is mapped in X (according to xkbprint) to "ISO-Level3-Shift". I don't know which key it is mapped to in the console, but certainly it is not Meta-R. Is this a feature of Debian or a bug? It happens with other keyboards? This problem makes Emacs very difficult to use without remapping the keyboard.
