Il a été gelé? Car je vois qu'il est dispo pour SID. Pour utiliser testing à autre chose qu'à tester, je recommande d'ajouter les dépôts de SID avec un pinning pour rester en Testing. Si pour une raison quelconque un paquet est retiré, genre il y a un problème dessus ou il y a une migration en cours non terminée (kde5 ? GCC ?) on ne reste pas coincé. https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences Pour le coup, utiliser unstable ne va pas régler grand chose… Voici ce que j'en ai compris. On est toujours dans les à-côtés de la migration vers gcc5. Toute la suite calligra (dont krita) dépend de libilmbase6 qui a disparu récemment, remplacé par libilmbase6v5 (il s'agit de la même bibliothèque recompilé avec gcc5 avec renommage du paquet pour faire coexister les deux pendant un certain temps). Il sera de nouveau possible d'installer calligra lorsque tout aura été recompilé mais ça risque de prendre un peu de temps. Au vu du bug 787033 – https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787033 – datant du mois de mai, je suppute que le travail va être effectué sur une nouvelle version (version 2.9.7 actuellement) plutôt que sur la version 2.8.5 actuellement dans les dépôts… Après, on est effectivement sur une distribution en mouvement permanent, sans garantie quant à la disponibilité des différents logiciels. Ici, calligra est sorti de testing pour éviter de bloquer le passage à gcc5. La situation ne devrait être que provisoire mais cela dépend de la disponibilité du mainteneur. Lors des mises à jour, il faut réellement surveiller ce qui peut être supprimé : je pense qu'il aurait été possible de conserver krita, mais cela aurait certainement bloqué la mise à jour de très nombreux paquets (lors du passage à gcc5, sous sid, j'ai eu plusieurs centaines de paquets bloqués comme cela). Pour le coup, le Pigeon n'a plus qu'à attendre et espérer. Ce qui m'étonne tout de même, c'est que je pensais qu'un "safe-upgrade" (et non pas safe-update) ne pouvais supprimer aucun paquet. j'ai l'impression que l'on ne nous dit pas tout… A+ Jean-Jacques Merci pour cette explication Jean-Jacques. J'ai bien veillé à faire un safe-upgrade* et pas un full-upgrade car justement il y avait trop de paquet à enlever. Il y a quelques jour j'avais environ 180 paquet non mis à jour et environ 30 aujourd’hui. C'est pendant ce laps de temps que ça a du se faire. J'attends patiemment et en attendant j'utilise MYPAINT a++

CUPS - Epson - printing fails with Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds...
Have just tried to install an Epson Stylus Photo 1270 under CUPS/Gutenprint and found that although the log messages from hotplug indicate that the printer is connected correctly, all print jobs stall with Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds... and the same message results from querying the printer with lpstat. It took quite a while on google to find a solution so I present here what worked in order to help others. # chmod a+rw /dev/usb/lp0 Add the line FileDevice yes to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restart CUPS Reinstall the printer from the CUPS web interface, specifying AppSocket for Device and using the device URI of file:/dev/usb/lp0 Printer then worked.

[OT] Comcast, Verizon and Google censoring the internet?
Yeah, tin foil hats on... but SOMETHING weird is going on and I suspect this is the best place to find people who can tell me what. And after all my webserver does run Debian :-) I've been noticing some very strange activity in my webserver logs over the last few days. It only seems to happen to people using American ISPs, mostly Comcast and Verizon. What happens is I get a sequence of requests for all the images off the root page of my website http://pigeonsnest.co.uk - and only that site, it doesn't seem to be happening to any others. The requests come in the usual order corresponding to the order in which the HTML references them, and have the expected Referer: header of http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/ . But there is no request for the actual HTML page, only the images off it. Sometimes the sequence of requests for the images is immediately preceded - as in so close in time that the process forked to serve it gets the immediately preceding process ID - by a request for the HTML page which comes from an IP owned by Google. So it looks like Comcast, Verizon and some others are somehow proxying the requests for my HTML via some server owned by Google. And unlike a normal proxy, it caches the HTML for a long time but the images not at all. And it's not people reading the cached copy of my site from the Cached link on a google search. When people do that it is obvious from the Referer: headers. And I can't see any reason why ISPs would proxy the requests for the HTML and not the images unless they're doing some kind of content filtering or censorship on the HTML. How do I know that what Comcast/Verizon/etc customers are seeing is what I published? No doubt there will be several Comcast and Verizon customers reading this message so I hope some people will have some useful input. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Pigeon's Nest - http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/ Lucy Pinder Television - http://www.lucy-pinder.tv/ GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21C61F7F signature.asc Description: Digital signature

xorg/etch - reload ZAxisMapping on the fly?
My xorg installation has developed an infuriating habit of freaking out its ZAxisMapping after it's been running for a day or two. It doesn't lose the mapping entirely, but just reassigns it. The result is that my vertical scroll wheel becomes a horizontal scroll wheel, and my horizontal scroll wheel becomes a double-speed horizontal scroll wheel. It's an absolute pain in the arse because it seems the only way to get it working again is to restart the X server, which of course means I lose all my state in the open applications. However the fact that the X server manages to screw itself up on the fly without restarting itself does tend to suggest that there might be a way to make it unscrew itself without restarting, if only I knew what it was. Trying to change the mouse behaviour with kcontrol or gnome-control-center doesn't do anything (and in any case neither of those appears to know about mice with more than one scroll wheel anyway).

Re: Scroll wheels not working after upgrade to etch/xorg
Hmmm, we still have a wrinkle... Every so often the X server loses its Z axis mapping settings on the fly. The result is that instead of the left hand scroll wheel mapping to the up and down cursor keys and the right hand scroll wheel to the left and right keys, as desired, the left hand scroll wheel suddenly decides that it's going to be mapped to double presses of the left and right cursor keys. The result is that I get two speeds of scrolling left and right, but I can't scroll up and down any more. This is an absolute pain, because it seems the only way to reset it to normal is to restart the X server. Which of course means I have to restart all my applications and lose all my state.

Scroll wheels not working after upgrade to etch/xorg
On doing a dist-upgrade which pulled in xorg I found my scroll wheels were no longer working. Either they did nothing at all or they simulated the press of some unknown key on the keyboard and activated all manner of keyboard shortcuts that I didn't know existed. The scroll wheels were still generating events, but not the right ones any more. Google merely turned up a few other baffled people with a similar problem. The solution turned out to be to include Option Emulate3Buttons off in xorg.conf. The existing xorg.conf simply had the Emulate3Buttons line commented out, and it seems from the log file that xorg was defaulting to enabling Emulate3Buttons. Explicitly disabling Emulate3Buttons got my scroll wheels working again.

Converting anaglyph (red/blue) 3D images to normal 2D
I have only one functioning eye, and so cannot see the 3D effect in anaglyphic 3D images whether I wear the red/blue glasses or not. To me, an anaglyphic image is a potentially nice photograph which is ruined by dirty great red and blue edges on everything.

Loading /tmp/kmap/blankmap
One of my sarge boxes has now twice done the same extremely weird thing. I'm using a text console and up pops output from /bin/loadkeys: Loading /tmp/kmap/blankmap. The keyboard then ceases to respond apart from allowing me to switch VTs. X is still fine so I can reactivate the keyboard by loading /etc/console/default.kmap.gz from an xterm. In /tmp I find a directory kmap containing two files, blankmap containing the keyboard-cabbaging map (attached) and origmap containing output from /usr/bin/dumpkeys describing the original map (/etc/console/default.kmap.gz). Directory and files are owned by root and are world-readable. They were created immediately before the blank map was loaded. There's nothing in /var/log/syslog at the time the files were written. chkrootkit and rkhunter return clean results. The second time it happened (today) I was ssh-ing to a remote machine. The first time was a while back now and I can't remember what I was doing. Google finds no references to the two files.

Could be, but the problem to me sounds like the early 2.6 kernels. Upgrade to .10, drop the use of ide-scsi, and drop the suid bit. Try sudo and the ATAPI: device instead. It worked a treat for me, the lockups and bad burns of 2.6.x are no longer a problem. OK, it's certainly worth a shot... though I notice that Sigve Indregard, in the thread CD recording, is having the same kind of problems as me, with an identical CD writer to mine, and 2.6.8. My suspicion is it's something funny about that model of drive (CyberDrive CW088D). Standardisation doesn't seem to be all it could be where CD writers are concerned. OK, a belated follow-up to this... I upgraded to 2.6.10, and tried many combinations of dropping the suid bit and using dev=ATAPI:x,y,z, dev=ATA:x,y,z and dev=/dev/hdx. Nothing worked. I still got the same flood of errors and lockups. Though for some odd reason, cdrdao carried on working all through. Extensive googling revealed about three people who also had a CyberDrive CW-088D and they couldn't get it to work either (though apparently the CW-058D does work). A couple of days ago, the drive ceased to make good recordings - the burn process (using cdrdao) would complete normally, but reading the disk back produced input/output errors after an undefined but large number of sectors had been read. Reading the disk with a different drive produced the same result. I replaced it with a Philips PBDV1640B CD/DVD writer, and without any software upgrades cdrecord started working again (using dev=/dev/hdx and not suid).

Strangely, though cdrecord was unusable, cdrdao worked fine, so at the cost of having to mess about with toc files I could still burn CDs. The solution, which was forced on me by the drive deciding that the CDs it burnt would no longer be readable, was to get a different model of drive. - Using kernel 2.4 you can only burn ONCE !!

I keep a gig of swap on hand to avoid out of memory problems at all costs and have never hit that. A sane default today would be to set your swap size to at least the size of your current physical memory.

Beyond that you have to go to multiple swap partitions. I tend to allocate the maximum 2G because disk space is so cheap these days.

I feel the system to be jerky/slugish when opening up multiple applications at a time and when copying files. I was also hoping for fatser boot times via a SCSI system but always read conflicting reports regarding the pros of scsi on the desktop. Using SCSI will probably increase boot time rather than reduce it. You will have to wait several seconds for your SCSI controller's ROM to load and detect each attached device. The kernel takes a while to redetect SCSI devices during bootup as well (this can be disabled, I think, but I dont remember how. I never bothered.) This is true. Boot times are even longer if you configure the drives not to spin up until the controller tells them to to reduce the surge on the PSU at switch-on. But this is Linux, what's this booting thing? :-) To add more confusion to the mix, I can't seem to Google any documents regarding which SCSI contollers would be more appropriate for a Linux desktop system. So far, I think LSI's LSIU160 (around 30 dollars) might be a good candidate. I don't know whether I can partner this with a smallish u320 drive. If I can pick up a decent used U160 drive on eBay cheap, it might be worth the money to try out SCSI for myself. If anyting, SCSI is supposed to be more reliable in the long run. Adaptec are pretty trouble-free. I've also got an Intel RAID controller (not using the RAID) which is also supported. Initio are cheap but the last time I looked the 2.6 driver couldn't be compiled (works OK on 2.4 though). Any other comments form current Debian users with SCSI on their desktop boxes would be appreciated. I dont do SCSI anymore. Its cost/performance ratio is so high that it really doesnt make sense for personal use. If its performance you're after, buy several IDE drives and a few controllers if necessary and do IDE raid0 or raid5. You can do this for the cost of a small (in comparison) scsi drive + controller. If you buy old, used SCSI HDs or controllers, their reliability is suspect. If you buy new SCSI controllers, the price is outrageous. I go round computer fairs and every now and then the dismantling of someone's big old servers makes itself known with various people selling SCSI stuff for reasonable prices. IME the drives fall into three categories: completely knackered, don't work at all; work, but have a large and growing number of defects; work, have zero to three defects and continue to work for years. I just make sure I get a receipt and can take the thing back if it's knackered. The work-but-with-defects category has been known to be awkward for this, but drives in this category are very rare. Controllers either work or don't, rarely don't, and continue to work for years. SCSI CD-ROM drives are rare, writers rarer, DVD almost non-existent, but with all your hard drives on SCSI you can leave these slow devices on the IDE bus and not have buffer under-runs. SCSI terminators are also rare so make sure at least one of your hard drives has one built-in - most do, some don't, and it's a pain when you only have one and it doesn't :-) Summary: Buy new PATA/SATA stuff. Its less expensive to purchase/replace and provides (for the most part) comparable performance.

I believe it's usually recommended to remove partitions using the software that created them - that is, using Windows FDISK to remove the partitions on the drive; then Linux fdisk/cfdisk to create new (and, I think, mke2fs to format them). Whether your old W98 CD (if you have one) will allow you to run FDISK without installing Windows, I have no idea. (Nor do I know whether W98 will even contemplate addressing anything other than the first-and-only partition in the machine :) Generally you *create* partitions with software for the OS that's going to use them, which means that setting up a dual-boot system involves using FDISK first and cfdisk second because cfdisk is intelligent enough not to trash FDISK's partitions but not vice versa. Deleting partitions isn't a problem. If you really want to make sure, use dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1 to nuke the partition table.

The main page is a flash file http://www.ultimaterally.com/swf/home.swf which contains lots of bullshit animation and a few navigation links. Extracting the few bytes of useful data (the navigation links' targets) requires the downloading of 397,387 bytes; with an HTML page one would only download the HTML, as images and animations and sounds would be separate files whose downloading can be either blocked or avoided. The flash file then requires processing by software capable of decoding its format - ie. specialised, you can't just hack something together using grep and sed. The bandwidth issue is a pain for dialup users and for broadband users with a metered connection, especially if the metering involves capping. The opacity issue is a pain for anyone trying to do any processing on the flash content, such as URL extraction or advert blocking. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21C61F7F signature.asc Description: Digital signature

When I set port 80 to my ip , it reset the modem and my ip chages ! How can i do this ? I googled and ask in freenode irc but cant find . If I understand your situation and question correctly, you want to set up your Apache web server for access from outside your local network. As far as I know, and this is based on my experience of a network behind an ADSL modem and a router (there are several machines connected via the router to the modem), you need a little more. I have a Zoom X3... You must direct port 80 traffic to the host running Apache. It appears that you've tried to do this, but every time the modem is reset, you get a new IP number. This happens because your ISP is assigning you a dynamically assigned IP number (via DHCP). You could ask for a static IP number, but that usually costs more (it does from my ISP). The way around this is to use a service which associates a name with your current IP number. That way, people wanting to connect to your web server, need only remember an unchaning name. There are free services on the 'net which will let you associate a name of your choice with your current IP. For example, you might choose the name 'maria' for your PC. At 'www.dyndns.org' (the provider that I use) you would register that name and associate it with a domain (they have several from which to choose - I use 'dyndns.org' as the domain name). Thus, your host might have the name 'maria.dyndns.org'. If every time you reset your modem, you also redid the name to IP association (and there are free scripts which will assist you to do this), then users could always reach your host. The canonical way to do this is with the ddclient package. Using this procedure may help you solve your problem. It certainly did for me. What this will do is provide a consistent name by which outside users can find your website. It's not the full story on setting up the Zoom. The Zoom will assign your network card an IP via DHCP. (Not to be confused with your ISP assigning you an IP by DHCP!) You will see entries similar to this in /var/log/syslog: Sep 12 00:16:38 stunted dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 10.0.0.2 port 67 Sep 12 00:16:38 stunted dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPACK from 10.0.0.2 Sep 12 00:16:39 stunted dhclient-2.2.x: bound to 10.0.0.10 -- renewal in 43200 seconds. In this case 10.0.0.10 is the IP assigned via DHCP. I'm assuming you only have one box. 10.0.0.10 is the IP that you need to set the Zoom's Virtual Server to point to. This IP may change when you reboot the Zoom. To prevent this go into LAN Configuration and select User Defined addresses for the DHCP server, then set the User Defined Start Address and ...End Address to the same address - 10.0.0.10 in this example. That should ensure that your Virtual Server settings always point at the correct IP. You may also need to deal with some bugs in the modem's firmware. In my case I found that the settings to block external access to the Zoom's FTP and HTTP servers didn't do anything (I've reassigned the Zoom's HTTP server to a different port from the standard 80) and a few other random ports were open for no apparent reason. The workaround is to create additional Virtual Server entries for the offending ports to forward them to the Linux box, and make sure the Linux box has those ports closed. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21C61F7F signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Make sure you've got dhclient installed as well. then in LAN settings in modem , the ip beetween 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.15 so 16 is in outside . That means it'll never be assigned - the opposite of what you want. Make both these entries 10.0.0.16.

Thanks.
Here is something I hacked together when I was doing something
similar. It extracts base64-encoded jpeg attachments from messages.
It doesn't expect more than one attachment, but your problem sounds
like you don't need it to. Compile it, then call it with input and
output filenames, eg.
cd directory/with/messages/in
for x in *; do cleanpic2 $x $x.jpeg; done
