I did some further searching (it's not an easy thing to search for), and ended up finding the following document: https://consolematt.wordpress.com/2013/06/19/reinstalling-debian-on-existing-lukslvm-partition/ I tested it on a VM inside QEMU, and it worked. So, basically, once we reach the point where we detect the hard drive, we need to drop to the shell, install additional software into the installation environment, and then run the commands to configure the already existing volume group and logical volumes. After that, we can return to the installer, and partman will see everything. We can then configure the proper mounts, and go on with the rest of the standard installation steps. However, as you explained, the installation is not bootable, it fails to recognize the encrypted volume group, and it just drops to the initramfs prompt. However, from there, we can run the commands documented in that blog entry, and it all works. -- Nitebirdz

The disk partitioning tool only shows the actual partitions, but no trace of the already existing encrypted volumes. See the screenshot attached. I'm testing this using QEMU. No matter what entry I select on that screen, it wants me to continue partitioning, and ends up destroying the previous setup. I cannot see a way to just get it to notice the already existing layout. That does work for more simple setups, but not for encrypted volumes, it seems. > But if you're going to do that, why not try a nice in-place > upgrade first?

As mentioned in my original message, though, I take this as an opportunity to "clean up house", and remove all the cruft that I have been accumulating for the last couple of of years. That's the reason why, when a new Debian release comes out, I prefer to reinstall (well, on this particular system; I usually do standard upgrades on others). -- Nitebirdz
Installing bullseye into previously existing encrypted disk with buster
Hi, I currently have a laptop running buster on an encrypted disk that boots via EFI. The filesystems look like this: /dev/mapper/tangier--vg-root/ /dev/mapper/tangier--vg-home/home /dev/sda1 /boot/efi /dev/sda2 /boot I know I can easily upgrade to bullseye from the running system. However, what I usually do when it's time to upgrade Debian on a laptop is to start from a clean slate. It's my chance to clean up and remove old cruft (well, with the exception of my own home partition, of course). So, instead of upgrading, I just install the new version of Debian. Now, my problem is that, whenever I launch the installer, it wants to partition the disk. Is there a way to tell the installer to leave the existing partitioning scheme alone? Also, I'd need the installer to leave the home partition alone, and format and install over the other partitions. Is this possible? If so, how? I've been trying different approaches, and I don't seem to be able to find the way to do it. Thanks. -- Nitebirdz

I had to use it to install Debian Stretch on a different laptop with EFI. So, in my case, one of the partitions is not encrypted. In that sense, the situation is somehow similar to your fat16 (/dev/sda1) partition. The document refers to Jessie, but I used it to install Stretch no problem. https://xo.tc/setting-up-full-disk-encryption-on-debian-jessie.html -- Nitebirdz

After some tinkering that I did, I now have one main question. What is the difference between me manually typing 'iceweasel' to terminal and me starting Iceweasel through panel/shortcut/system menu (and with run in terminal flagged, it doesn't make any difference). Because in the first case, the problems are non-existent. In the second, they are there. In principle, there shouldn't be any difference, right? Unless you do use specific options when running it from the terminal, or you changed the default command that is run when you launch it from the icon (e.g., I did change that in order to specify a particular user profile of the few profiles I have configured). This is all assuming GNOME 3, which is what I run. In order to find out the actual command line behind the icon (again, in GNOME 3), simply follow these directions: Activities -- Applications -- System Tools -- Main Menu Now, on the panel on the left-hand side select Internet and then, on the right-hand side, scroll down until you find Iceweasel Web Browser. Select it and click on Properties. That will show the actual command being run when you launch the application using the icon. If I remember correctly, it only addes %u at the end by default. That %u is not an Iceweasel option, though. So, you won't find it if you run 'man iceweasel' or check the documentation from the browser, most likely. It's a launcher code for GNOME which, in this case, will open a single URL. Search for %u in the following document: https://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/build/launchers.html In conclusion, that unless you use specific options when launching the browser from the terminal or your desktop environment or window manager adds a different option to the launcher, it sounds to me as if this may be a red herring. -- Nitebirdz http://www.sacredchaos.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, I know vip-mode and viper are alternatives but they don't adhere all features of vim everywhere into emacs. They just seem incomplete emulators. It would have been great to see a Emacs kind software for vim too. Emacs is far more than an editor. On the other hand, vim is more loyal to the traditional UNIX idea of doing only one thing and doing it well. In other words, vim is just an editor. It won't read your email and it won't browse the web for you. However, it is perfectly possible to configure mail clients such as mutt to use vim to compose emails. It also supports syntax highlighting, which comes in handy when coding. There are many other apps out there that, although sporting a nice GUI, also allow you to use vim to edit code. Heck, it's even possible to configure Mozilla Firefox to use the vi bindings (1), although this is not vim strictly speaking. In any case, I suppose what I'm trying to say is that vim is not Emacs, and that's the nice thing about open source. You choose.

I have already confirmed with him that any and all GUI tools will NOT be used for any labs.

What other things like this should I look out for? Can I still expect all config files to be in /etc, does RH use /etc/init.d/ and friends, etc. Any and all tips are welcome. TIA. As far as I know, both Red Hat and Fedora also install documentation under /usr/share/doc by default. The init scripts are also under /etc/init.d, and they use System V initialization just like most other major Linux distributions with the exception of Slackware. They also recently adopted alternatives, as of RH 9 or so, I seem to remember. Heck, you can even use apt with all the releases starting with RH 8 or so... or use yum or up2date if you prefer. So, differences? It's an RPM-based distro. Yes, you can use apt these days, but still the underlying technology is RPM. So, you'd better get at least a little bit familiar with RPM: basics about packaging it, what a spec file is and how to rebuild from source. They still use httpd to refer to Apache everywhere, including in the name of the init script. As you can imagine the layout of the config files is different too, so I'd definitely suggest taking a look under /etc directory, especially the /etc/sysconfig directory. I cannot think of anything else right now, but I'm pretty sure other people will fill in.

RH also uses the sysV init stuff, but the rc.d directories are subdirectory of /etc/init.d , IIRC. It also has a command 'service' for starting/restarting/stopping services and another chkconfig for listing/modifying the sysV services, which may not exist in Debian (I haven't found them yet anyway).

Bad EIP Value and Kernel Panic??? is there anybody who

if anyone has an idea how to get debian on this machine, just let me know.
I'm new to Debian, but I suppose my comments wouldn't hurt anyways. The
only instance of Bad EIP value I can find in the kernel source comes from
the traps.c file in line 239.
http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/kernel/traps.c#L239
225 if (in_kernel) {
226
227 printk(\nStack: );
228 show_stack((unsigned long*)esp);

236 unsigned char c;
237 if(__get_user(c, ((unsigned char*)regs-eip)[i])) {
238 bad:
239 printk( Bad EIP value.);
240 break;
241 }
242 printk(%02x , c);
243 }
244 }
The numbers you are getting appear to be the stack at the time of the kernel
panic. According to the Intel documentation somewhere, the abort occurs when
the control unit is unable to store a meaningful value in the eip register,
which is supposed to contain the memory address of the instruction that caused
an exception fault. In other words, this seems to point to a hardware issue.
What are the lines that you get immediately before the system spits out these
messages to the screen? You mention in your email it happens after detecting
the HDD. Is there any mention to a given *.c file from the kernel source?
Just to give you an example, here is a case where it is the USB code causing
the panic:
usb.c USB disconnect on device 00:02.1-0 address 1
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address f8836bd1
printing EIP:
*pde=37afb067
*pte=
Oops:
CPU:0
EIP: 0010:[f8836bd1] Not tainted
... (some more lines)
code: Bad EIP value

Re: perl and exim filter
On Sat, 3 Jun 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I have recently been setting up my email on
the linux side and decided to use a tip that
I found in an old addition of the linux gazette.
Basically the idea is to create a filter for mail
leaving the local system. I tried to use it a few
times but the mail keep being sent back with the
following:
A message that you sent could not be delivered
to all of its recipients. The following address(es)
failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIZE=1412:
host mail.inet.fi [192.54.155.189]:
553 hampaita.fi does not exist
Anyway here is the code in question.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while () {
if (/^From: /) {
s/.*/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/;
print;
last;
}
print;
}
while(){
print;
}
The idea is to place a reference to this on exim.conf and it would
be used when mail was being sent outside of the system.
I know next to nothing about perl and I'm not sure whether the
author may have made a typo or the syntax may be outdated. When I
try to source it I get the following:
bash: /usr/local/bin/mail-filter: line 3: syntax error near unexpected
token `()'
bash: /usr/local/bin/mail-filter: line 3: `while () {'
I'm afraid I won't be of much help, but whenever I check for either
hampaita.fi or pp.inet.fi I don't seem to be able to find the domains at
all:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jortega]$ nslookup pp.inet.fi
Server: ns3.mn.uswest.net
Address: 204.147.80.1
*** No address (A) records available for pp.inet.fi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jortega]$ nslookup hampaita.fi
Server: ns3.mn.uswest.net
Address: 204.147.80.1
*** ns3.mn.uswest.net can't find hampaita.fi: Non-existent host/domain
Are you sure you're not dealing with a simple name resolution and mail
problem here, as opposed to a scripting problem?

Re: Dudas sobre version Kernel

En el caso del kernel de Linux, los numeros impares en la segunda porcion del nombre significan en desarrollo mientras que los numeros pares significan estable. Por poner un ejemplo: 2.0.36 es estable debido al 0, y tambien los es 2.2.13 debido al 2, pero 2.3.11 esta en desarrollo debido al 3. Ya se que los manuales son un poco complicados de entender en este sentido, y a mi tambien me llevo un tiempo acostumbrarme a la idea.

Re: clearing SO's browser cache
Pollywog, Did you check in the Office51 directory under your own home directory? I believe StarOffice puts a lot of stuff there.

Re: is kernel 2.0.38 broken?
Pollywog, There is a problem affecting the 2.0.x kernels in the sense that local users can cause a denial of service attack by using ping with a certain argument. However, there is already an update to the netkit package that temporarily fixes the problem.

Re: Opera Beta for Linux Released!
Art Lemasters, The main positive feature of Opera is how fast it is compared to any of the two major browsers in the Windows world. I just downloaded and installed the beta version for Linux, and it seems to be pretty fast too... as fast as the version for Windows. However, it is not GPLd, although I have a feeling that releasing it under the GPL license would be a smart move by the Opera guys since there is a chance that many Linux users would switch from buggy Netscape. In the meantime, I am not so sure I will run it due to the fact that it is not opensource, which is no impediment for me to acknowledge its strengths.

Re: Using Samba
Grzegorz, Try replacing Documento with Documents. It worked for me. By the way, that Documents/pdf directory is full of goodies in pdf format.

No te puedo decir si es un estandar de UNIX o no, pero si que te puedo asegurar que FreeBSD 3.3.4 tambien lo utiliza. Supongo que cualquier version de BSD (SCO, HP-UX, etc.) tambien sigue esa regla.

Re: Red Ethernet
jcarlos, Puesto que tu intencion es compartir una unica conexion a la red, necesitas configurar un router tal y como queda indicado en el manual que mencionas. No es una pieza especial de hardware, sino que lo unico que necesitas hacer es usar uno de los ordenadores como router (IP Masquerading, etc.). Eso si, ese ordenador necesita dos tarjetas de red: una de las tarjetas para conectar al exterior, y la otra para conectar a la red interna mediante un pequegno hub. O al menos asi es como me lo he montado yo siempre. Si alguien tiene otra idea, por favor, corregidme.

Re: MS Intellimouse
Colin, I found a little program called imwheel in the freshmeat.net site, downloaded it and installed it. It has been working fine for me ever since, and it does precisely what you are looking for: wheel + third button. Give it a try. Nitebirdz On Tue, 14 Dec 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Someone I know is running potato and has a MS Intellimouse (a mouse with two buttons and a wheel). What we'd like to be able to do is have the functionality of both the wheel and an emulated third button. However, we read that the Emulate3Buttons in X doesn't work if ZAxisMapping is turned on. So, currently, we have ZAxisMapping on (so we can get the scrolling) but she has no way of doing the third mouse-button click. What we'd like to be able to do is somehow make Ctrl + Button-1 (or button-1 + button-2) send X a button-3 click. Is there any way to do this, either with XF86Config, xmodmap, the window manager (we are using Enlightenment), or any other method? Thanks.

Re: Offtopic: Trabajo fin de Bachillerato
xxx, La mayor parte de la informacion que conozco esta escrita en ingles, con la excepcion de lo que puedes encontrar en www.hispalinux.es y todos los webs alli recomendados. Pero si necesitas algo mas de informacion, te recomendaria que compraras Usando Linux. Me parece que es la version en espagnol del Using Linux publicado por Que aqui en los EEUU. La cubierta del libro es de color verde, y creo recordar que lo encontre en El Corte Ingles la ultima vez que visite Espagna hace unos meses, asi que no debiera ser dificil de encontrar.
