Bug with lib ssl
Hey I'm running debian testing and I have encountered a weird bug. Wanted to check if that was a real bug or an issue on my end. The site https://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html fails on my computer with both iceweasel on chromium whereas it succeds on other computer (not debian) I have tried it with. The reason is that media content downloaded from media.w3.org over https fail due too : ``` An error occurred during a connection to media.w3.org. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) ``` Similar error message show up when I try to directly download the content from the site using curl. I suspect an issue in the ssl implementation but I have not been able to reporduce on other site. Does anybody have a similar problem? Thanks Fabrice

There do not seem to be any packages for Jesse (though are in the works) and only way seems to be to pull a package from testing. I'm running both Nginx and Apache on Debian Jesse and wanted to start deploying the letsencrypt. Frank I have, using the pip provided package, but it's not ideal as it requires updating other python libraries. Apart from that it is straightforward and easy to use. I would advise using the certonly option to avoid having the client mess with your config, and the webroot option to generate certificates while keeping your server running. Fabrice

Re: v4l error using vlc
Yes it is a different url. The link you are giving is the one of a webpage with a player in it, and it's the player that acces to the real video stream. Howewer there is probably a way to get the correct url, but I'm no expert.

Re: Determine IP Adrress from MAC Address
You can't, it's two different thing. As you said the MAC address, is linked to your hardware, whereas the IP is given by the network, it will change if you change network. fabrice On 02/17/2014 07:36 PM, Muntasim-Ul-Haque wrote: Hi, How can I determine the IP address if I already have the MAC address or Hardware Address?

On the other hand now I have repalced it by a ssd and the boot time seems the same whereas big application like gimp, that I barely use, seems faster, so I'd say this NAND were put to a good use.

cloning a debian installation
Hi I'm using debian 7.3 on my laptop (Dell E5530) and it runs perfectly fine. I'm considering remplacing the hdd by a ssd. The thing is I'd rather not go through the hassle of setting up debian to suit my computer. The question I'm asking is, what would be the simplest way(if it is possible) to clone my existing installation onto the new ssd. Knowing that the root and the home are on two different partition of my hdd which are the only partition on my disk beside the swap. Howewer the ssd is smaller than the disk and the home partition will need to be resized. I also consider slightly increasing the root partition size as it is quitte full (77%) after running apt-get clean. Since I am at it, I would also like to know if it is possible to remove the swap as it is bad for ssd life to write and rewrite, and I have plenty (8 giga) of ram.

I've got no knowledge about SSDs, but I suspect partitioning and the needed bootloader are equal to HDDs. From a live Linux media mount the copied install and after that run sudo chroot /mnt or sudo systemd-nspawn -D /mnt and then grub-install /dev/sda Sorry, my bad for not replying to the list. Just to be clear, your advice is -I first partition the ssd on my existing system -I then copy on the different partition my existing file system At this point I guess I can remove the previous hdd. - From a live media I then run either sudo chroot /mnt or sudo systemd-nspawn -D /mnt -and finally grub-install /dev/sda Well that seems quitte doable.
