Wireless Hard Lock on a Dell XPS 15in (releasable only during waking up from suspend)

2015-05-19 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hi,

I have installed Jessie on a Dell XPS 9530 (late 2013) and am encountering 
problems (that are shared by others on the web) using the wireless card: it 
appears hard locked upon boot under all tested circumstances and no mocking 
with blacklisting wmi, dell-laptop, or other googled remedies have helped.

The only thing so far that gets the wireless up and running is suspending 
the machine and hitting the FN-PrtScreen combination DURING wake-up, as 
described here: http://tinyurl.com/lsp3wyx

I'm at a loss and would appreciate any advise on how to proceed or what to 
try.

Sincerely, Joh

jessie and unpriviledged lxc containers

2015-05-03 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I'm playing with unpriviledged lxc containers according to 
http://tinyurl.com/kvzxlvj on jessie. In order to lxc-create as a non-root 
user I have to do

PROMPT echo 1  /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cgroup.clone_children
PROMPT echo 1  /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone

How can I make those setting persistent such that they are automatically 
(re)set upon reboot?

Thanks for any hints. Sincerely, Joh

 The second one is trivial: create a file /etc/sysctl.d/10-unpriv-lxc
 with the following contents:
 
 kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1
 
 Then on boot this setting will be automatically applied.
 
 If you want to activate clone_children for the cgroup automatically at
 boot, you kind-of need to do that manually. I'm going to assume you're
 using systemd as init system on the host (because it's the default and
 you didn't mention anything else [1]). The easiest way is to simply
 create a file /etc/systemd/system/setup-clone-children.service:
 
 [Unit]
 Description=Setup cpuset cgroup clone_children for LXC
 DefaultDependencies=no
 Conflicts=shutdown.target
 Before=sysinit.target shutdown.target
 
 [Service]
 Type=oneshot
 ExecStart=/bin/sh -c echo 1 
 /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cgroup.clone_children StandardOutput=null
 RemainAfterExit=yes
 
 [Install]
 WantedBy=sysinit.target
 
 (the ExecStart= is one line, my mail client just likes to wrap)
 
 Then you can just do
 
 systemctl enable setup-clone-children.service
 
 and the next time you reboot, the setting will be applied.
 
 Hope that helps.

Many thanks. Implemented and awaiting testing.

Joh

 Turns out this was a (shot?) systemd issue. After reinstalling it my setup
 works as expected: eth/wlan managed by NM (as nos present in

Turns out I was wrong with my first explanation above - what really is/was 
amiss is the fact that installation of NetworkManager seems to imply 
'update-rc.d networking disable' - the inverse fixed my situation. Sorry for 
the noise.

nullmailer, cron email email provider requiring appropriate From field

2015-01-31 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I have setup nullmailer on a debian stable system of mine to forward email 
to the smtp server of my mykolab.com account. That account requires that 
From in the header matches the account email.
Cron on my system insists to send email (as e.g. produced by a logcheck cron 
job) using From as derived from the user the executed script runs under 
(logcheck, in this case) and the provider accordingly refuses the email.

Googling leeds to the conclusion, that while cron on debian (stable) is 
accepting MAILTO in crontab, it doesn't accept MAILFROM, which other 
distributions (Centos?) seem to have ...

Can anyone propose an elegant way to solve this issue?

Thank you for your consideration,

 Might be easier just to install postfix :)
 
 But saw this:

Switched to postfix and with the help of canonical_maps got it to work: 
postfix is now rewriting from in all outgoing headers ...

Hello,

Outstanding! Thank you, both Steve and Thomas! Based on Steve's hint I had 
it mostly right, but the isobybrid business was beyond my capabilities (and

I'll report back once I got a chance to try the new image ...

 Thank you for flying xorriso. :)
 
 
 If you look in the
 file .disk/mkisofs on the original CD, you'll see the exact command
 that was used to make the original image,
 
 .disk/mkisofs is one of my favorites. So i can see what Steve
 does with my program.
 One needs some background knowledge, though, to derive the options
 for a new run:
 
 The option -isohybrid-mbr, which is essential for BIOS USB stick,
 needs an MBR input file, which has to stem from the same SYSLINUX
 version as isolinux/isolinux.bin in the ISO:
 
   -isohybrid-mbr syslinux/usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin
 
 The first 512 bytes of the original isohybrid ISO image
 are a harmlessly modified copy of the original input file.
 So one may retrieve the new isohybrid MBR template by:
 
   dd if=debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1.iso bs=512 count=1 of=/tmp/isohdpfx.bin
 
 and use it in the xorriso run as
 
   -isohybrid-mbr /tmp/isohdpfx.bin
 
 
 Further one may leave out the Jigdo producing options:
 
   -checksum_algorithm_iso md5,sha1,sha256,sha512
   ...
-jigdo-jigdo
/org/cdbuilder.debian.org/dst/deb-cd/out/2amd64/debian-7.7.0-amd64-
NETINST-1.jigdo
-jigdo-template
/org/cdbuilder.debian.org/dst/deb-cd/out/2amd64/debian-7.7.0-amd64-
NETINST-1.template
-jigdo-map Debian=/org/cdbuilder.debian.org/src/ftp/debian/
-jigdo-exclude boot1 -md5-list
/org/cdbuilder.debian.org/src/deb-cd/tmp/2amd64/wheezy/md5-check
-jigdo-min-file-size 1024 -jigdo-exclude 'README*' -jigdo-exclude /doc/
-jigdo-exclude /md5sum.txt -jigdo-exclude /.disk/ -jigdo-exclude /pics/
-jigdo-exclude 'Release*' -jigdo-exclude 'Packages*' -jigdo-exclude
'Sources*'
   ...
 
 
 So i propose to do for an i386 ISO:
 
   dd if=debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1.iso bs=512 count=1 of=/tmp/isohdpfx.bin
 
   xorriso -as mkisofs \
  -r \
  -V 'Debian 7.8.0 i386 1' \
  -o debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod.iso \
  -J \
  -isohybrid-mbr /tmp/isohdpfx.bin \
  -partition_offset 16 \
  -joliet-long \
  -cache-inodes \
  -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
  -c isolinux/boot.cat \
  -no-emul-boot \
  -boot-load-size 4 \
  -boot-info-table \
  ./debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod/
 
rm /tmp/isohdpfx.bin
 
 The amd64 ISOs get some extra options for EFI after -boot-info-table:
 
   -eltorito-alt-boot \
   -e boot/grub/efi.img \
   -no-emul-boot \
   -isohybrid-gpt-basdat \
   -isohybrid-apm-hfsplus \
 
 The last option -isohybrid-apm-hfsplus is actually useless here,
 because no HFS+ flesystem tree gets produced.
 
 
 If you get xorriso-1.3.8 from http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso
 then you can inspect the result's boot equipment:
 
   xorriso -indev debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod.iso \
   -report_el_torito plain \
   -report_system_area plain
 
 My test (with debian-7.3.0-i386-netinst.iso) yields:

Contrary to the original image, the resulting usb stick is NOT recognized as 
bootable ...

What am I doing wrong?

I administer a remote server running testing and updated it yesterday (apt

access through the hosting companies rescue system and can rummage around, 
but am at a loss how to trouble shoot this, as messages,dmesg etc seem empty

Can anyone point out what might have been the problem from the logs below? 
How about the microcode update? Could that lead to this?

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Keeping backups until storage runs short (deja-dup style) with command line tools?

2013-02-21 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hi,

deja-dup has an option to keep backups forever or until storage on the drive 
backed up to runs short (at which point it starts deleting old backups). 
Does someone have any pointers on how to copy that behavior using duplicity 
and/or other CLI tools?

Cheers, Joh

Elegant solution for network-dependent cifs/smb mounting?

2012-09-28 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hi,

I am looking for a debian- (and optimally kde-) compatible solution that 
would allow me to mount cifs/smb network drives ONLY if on the network where 
they are expected to exist.

I there was a solution that would upon attempted access to adrive
a) check whether on the right network
b) check whether the corresponding server is up
c) if not b) was able to WakeOnLan the server - and wait for/monitor its 
sucessful boot
d) mount the drive

That would be the perfect solution ...

Thanks for any pointers.

Sincerely, Joh

libfprint: configure pam to only (and exclusively) use for xscreensaver

2012-03-18 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hi,

Below you find my (testing stock) /etc/pam.d/common-auth  xscreensaver 
files. I have endlessly played around but this eludes me, so any help would 
be appreciated ... 
I'm trying to configure pam such that normal password authentication is used 
UNLESS we are unlocking xscreensaver, when it should fall bak on the 
fingerprint reader. Any ideas on how to achieve that?

Thanks for any hints. Sincerely, Joh

 # /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver - PAM behavior for xscreensaver
 #
 @include common-auth
 @include common-account

 #
 # /etc/pam.d/common-auth - authentication settings common to all services
 #
 # This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,
 # and should contain a list of the authentication modules that define
 # the central authentication scheme for use on the system
 # (e.g., /etc/shadow, LDAP, Kerberos, etc.).  The default is to use the
 # traditional Unix authentication mechanisms.
 #
 # As of pam 1.0.1-6, this file is managed by pam-auth-update by default.
 # To take advantage of this, it is recommended that you configure any
 # local modules either before or after the default block, and use
 # pam-auth-update to manage selection of other modules.  See
 # pam-auth-update(8) for details.
 
 # here are the per-package modules (the Primary block)

try_first_pass
 # here's the fallback if no module succeeds
 authrequisite   pam_deny.so
 # prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already;
 # this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success 
code

 I think what you need can be achieved with dpkg hooks.
 
 Yes, but those hooks will be run more often than necessary, since apt
 typically invokes dpkg several times during an installation.
 
 Hope this hint helps, since I never used them and can't tell you
 exactly where to put them.
 
 /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg is the place for that (or drop a file into
 /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d).

Thank you for that hint. But as you said: dpkg is run multiple time per apt 
invocation, which doesn't make the option very feasible in my scenario ... 
no such thing as apt/aptitude hooks?

 Hello Johannes,
 
 at the moment 'grub-pc' is broken in sid. When you have a separate /boot
 partition, the package generates a wrong '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'. Look at
 the BTS for bug #558042. There is also the workaround for the problem.

 Desperation takes over: is there no NICE XML editor that's licensed
 compatibly with the Debian guidelines?
 
 Why not try using Vim as XML Editor[0]? It works rather well for me and
 being the allrounder Vim is, you can expand it to suit your desires.

 If you want Whizzbang, Wizard style, auto-magic crap, then why use a
 powerful OS?
 
 I say its:
 
 Go back to Windows and Visual * something studio Pro-Live-Vista Crap
 
 And leave our unpretty but exceptionally powerful because you can
 actually SEE what is going on OS.
 
 If you want help, then stop being a SNOB or Asshat, to the people you
 asked.

Point taken, but seriously: I've been writing XML using kate for a long
while now and let me tell you: using this whizzbang wizard style visual
crap instead, my productivity just goes through the roof in comparison. I'm
quite religious about open source (forced my new work place into giving me
a self-administered box, which instead of XP runs sid and the evil stuff
only through a virtual machine) and using ion3 as my window manager, you
will have a hard time calling me an eye candy addact or doesn't want any
contact with the inner workings, but pragmatism will probably dictate to
leave the pure teachings for this particular task ... 
You call me a snob, but your disdain of an editor supporting its user while
dealing with highly structured stuff is nothing else either - no?

How to install D-Link DGE-550SX?

2006-11-30 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I'm lost trying to install a D-Link DGE-550SX additionally to my existing
network card. I have done the following:

1) add the appropriate 'dl2k' driver to /etc/modules.
2) add this to /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

After a reboot dmesg|grep eth delivers this:

Xen kernel for amd64-SMP?

2006-07-26 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I may be totally not getting something here, but I was planing to play
around with Xen and had a look at what's present in the unstable
repository. I'm running a amd64 SMP machine and was wondering whether Xen
enabled SMP kernels are in the works - maybe I'm misunderstanding this? Can
I just run a stock amd64-smp kernel on the host and only need the Xen
kernel for the actual virtual machine(s)?

Thanks for any hints,

lm-sensors watching daemon?

2004-10-10 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I recently got lm-sensors to play along with my stock unstable 2.6.8
kernel. Now I'm looking for a daemon which utilizes the information read
from the Mobo. I have found two which do what I want (shutting down at
certain threshold values):
1) sentinelle (http://denis.corbin.free.fr/software.html)
2) mondo-daemon (http://mondo-daemon.sourceforge.net/)

The former seems quite young, while the latter smells of abandonment.
I wonder what the debian way is to accomplish things like shutdown at
a given temperature or fan speed - I found neither of the two
possibilities above or an alternative in the repositories.

If you have experience with this: please let me know what you use.

Thanks, Joh

Gnome mime (?) problem (zxpdf): gnome.url_show (url)

2004-05-19 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I'm running sid and ion as a WM. I am very fond of pybliographic and use
it extensively for my paper collection. I link archived pdfs through an
URL type field in my data base entry like this:
file:///location/paper:year.pdf

which is pretty nifty, since I can press a button behind the entry and
the paper comes up in xpdf.
I have howerver taken the habit of storing pdfs as *.pdf.bz2 and this is
where I run into trouble - the button click leaves me with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/GnomeUI/Entry.py, line 104, in
url_opengnome.url_show (url)
gobject.GError: There is no default action associated with this
location.

I interpret this as some gnome component being unable to identify the
file type, which is presumable easily fixable if one knows where. I
played around with the gnome control center - to no end.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

Joh

dhcpd trouble

2004-02-07 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I just installed 'testing' on my new VIA based machine using 2.6 (uname
-a -- Linux server 2.6.0-1-386 #2 Sun Jan 11 16:54:21 EST 2004 i686
GNU/Linux). Since this is supposed to be the firewall for my home
network I'm trying to get dhcpd to run - which I have sucessfully done
in the past - but it's not working for me this time.
Originally I thought that the fact that I wanted the serve to listen on
an interface that is a USB/ethernet adapter was the problem, but I can't
make it work using the NIC on the motherboard either ...

Please let me know if you spot anything in the configs below.

2.6.1 and ALSA trouble (very little volume)

2004-01-19 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I compiled myself a 2.6.1 kernel and have problems with ALSA. Everything
should be statically compiled into the kernel (ali5451 is what I need
for my Fujitsu Lifebook). I based my configurations on my 2.4 kernel
which used to run ALSA via modules. Seems to work, BUT using mpg123 or
alsa-xmms I get very little volume out of the speakers - its barely
hearable. Alsamixer was used to max out 'Master' and 'PCM' - so that
shouldn't be it.

Please find my configurations below. Do you have any idea what I'm doing
wrong?

/etc/alsa/modutils/0.9

CUPS update = lpr trouble from mozilla/galeon

2004-01-04 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

Having returned to my keyboard after the Holiday break, I updated my
testing/unstable system to CUPSYS 1.1.20candidate6-6. Following that
printing did no longer work - 'lpr -Plj2200' in the galeon printer
field resulted in a printed message stating that The Postscript
interpreter in [my] printer is 2014.116 and that This printout
requires at least version 2015 or greater. The message also gives a
workaround:
'gs -q -sDEVICE=pswrite -SOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-dMozConvertedToLevel2=true - | lpr -Plj2200' in the printer field is
supposed to fix the problem. BUT if I use that I get a printout where
aside from punctuation marks all characters are replaced by an empty
rectangle.

Printing the web page in question to a file first doesn't make a
difference - gv shows the treaded rectangles.

Please let me know if you have any insight into what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks, Joh

How to set up multilingual OO including arabic?

2003-10-30 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I asked this before on the openoffice mailing list and those people told
me to go asking in a debian specific forum, which let me to repost to
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, but that seems to be mainly
a developers list ... so here it is again:

I am running Sid and have installed OO 1.1.0-1, including several
language support packages for my polyglot wife. Now I am at a
loss of how to make ooffice work such that she can choose between
Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, French, German or English at startup.

For arabic I did:
- dpkg-reconfigure locales 
  -- generating ar_LB.ISO-8859-6 and ar_LB.UTF-8
- apt-get install xfonts-intl-arabic
- LANG=ar_LB openoffice (same problem with LANG=ar_LB.ISO-8859-6 or
LANG=ar_LB.UTF-8)

But this leads to: I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale ar_LB

What am I missing?

She is threatening to revert to evil empire software! Help!

Xfree86 4.3 confusion

the lifebook needs the 'radeon' driver which is only in 4.3 and was present.
The problem however arose when I - for reasons of general idiocy - wanted to do a 
fresh install yesterday: only xfree86 4.2.x was available! I can't reconstruct my 
original apt sources exactly, but querying the on line package database doesn't give 
me any 4.3 what so ever.
Did 4.3 get recently pulled from the distribution? Why? Where can I get the packages?

Thanks, Joh

PostgreSQL 7.3 Cron job trouble

2003-06-29 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

My daily dselecting recently lead to a PostgreSQL update to version 7.3 on my debian 
testing box. Everything works fine aside from this error showing up daily:

What's wrong here and how to fix it?

Cupsys trouble

2003-06-19 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I'm running Cupsys 1.1.19final-1 on a testing system and have recently had problems 
with the http interface - which worked nicely before.
When I log on via http://localhost:631/admin and give the administrative account and 
password, I can handle jobs and such nicely, however, if I click on Printers and try 
to say Configure Printer for a printer I've setup, the page popping up only contains 
the navigation bar and the word Admin - no options for the printer at hand ... this 
used to work like a dream.
Does anybody have an idea where my problem could be? Please push me into the right 
direction!

Thanks, Joh

Vaio PCG-R505TSK Installation Trouble

2003-04-03 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

I'm trying to install woody (bf 2.4) on my Vaio PCG-R505TSK ... with no success.
After booting into the bootfloppy cd with 'linux ide2=0x180,0x386 (to makte the 
pcmcia cdrom drive work during the install) I can install debian without any problems 
and the system comes up after the installation system reboot with the (ironic) 
congratulation that I have installed debian sucessfully. Whatever I do next (and I 
have tried many a thing ...) - upon next reboot the system gives me: '0Kernel panic: 
Aiee, killing interupt handler! In interupt handler - not syncing!'

What am I missing?

Any hints would be highly appreciated!

Joh

Looking into this I found that all the files which it complains about in relation to

What is going on here?

Galeon Crashing!

2002-10-27 Thread Johannes Graumann
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I'm running a continously update Debian testing system. Galeon is my 
browser of choice (galeon-1.2.5-0.woody.deb). BUT since a couple of days
it crashes continously on me (kill -9 is necessary if that happens).
I can not really pin it to anything, have purged and reinstalled the 
components involved, removed the .galeon directory and gone through the
first time druid ... nothing solved the problem.

Can anybody help me out here please? What can I do to diagnose this
better?

Thanks for any help and: SORRY for the crosspost! Please cc my address!

debian-user-digest crippled

2002-10-18 Thread Johannes Graumann
Hello,

Have people aside from me lately had problems with crippled
debian-user-digest messages? The digests I get always have less message
entries than the TOC says and the number of attached original messages
corresponds to the number of entries showing up in the main message (too
few as well).

Are the maintainers reading this?

 It looks like there's no USB controller attached, unless (as is very
 possible) I just don't know what I'm talking about. But I don't see a
 USB device, which would explain why you weren't able to load the USB
 device driver modules.
 
 Have you ever used the USB port(s) on this machine before, under any OS?

No, this is the first attempt ever ... but if you imply that they might
not work at all: if I plug the reader in I get a red light popping up -
seems to be connectable ...
