Re: When to reboot after dist-upgrade?
I use the following little script. If it produces output, then a reboot is desirable. #!/bin/bash -p set -x PATH=/usr/bin:/bin lsof +c0 -w | grep ' DEL *REG *[^0 ]' | egrep -v \ '(/var/lib/gdm3|/usr/share/mime|/home/[^/]*)/(.cache|.config|.local)' What it does is look for library (and other) files that are in use but have been removed from the filesystem. The "egrep -v" filters out some files that various utilities create, open, then delete without closing so that if the utility ends catastrophically without cleaning up, they don't hang around. It's not perfect, but it does help.

Many (most?) contributions are in a personal capacity, regardless of the employer. As far as I know there is no requirement to disclose affiliation or even use the company e-mail address when contributing on behalf of an employer.

While I believe it's perfectly fine - and desirable - to have successful commercial enterprises based on FLOSS, transparency in financing is generally a good thing in my opinion, especially when the projects are backed by non-profit organisations (anonymity of donors notwithstanding).

Ghost cronjob

The only other places I have anything mentioning btrbk in /etc is in btrbk's config files: root@galahad:~# grep btrbk /etc/ -rl /etc/btrbk/btrbk.conf.example /etc/btrbk/btrbk.conf.old /etc/btrbk/btrbk.conf.local /etc/btrbk/btrbk.conf~ /etc/btrbk/btrbk.conf /etc/cron.d/backup And yet I find this in /var/log/btrbk.log: 2017-03-12T20:16:28+0100 startup v0.24.0 - - - - # btrbk command line client, version 0.24.0 There are no systemd timers related to btrbk either. This started about 1.5 months ago when I changed the backup time from midnight to 04:00; it took me some time to notice in the status mails that btrbk was creating duplicate snapshots, and checking the logs showed that at ran both at midnight and at 04:00. Disabling the 04:00 cronjob left the ghost cronjob at 00:00 intact. How do I find out why a periodic job is running with nothing obviously configured for it?

Since, after all, this is Debian: Use your choice of: - dhcpd: specify the MAC address into a special pool which gets an IP address but a default router that doesn't exist - ebtables: filter out the MAC address so that it's not allowed to pass through your firewall - iptables: filter out the IP address you assign to the TV so it can't pass through the firewall The MAC addresses will be on the TV's back panel, or you can sniff for their DHCP requests.

RE: Ben alors là ! Vla t'y pas qu'on peut acheter du matos sans OS chez Lenovo !
Bonsoir, Surprise pour moi. Les Dell que j'achète (portables pro) coûtent plus cher que les autres, mais tiennent dans la durée. J'en ai un qui à 14 ans, un autre 8 ans et ils marchent toujours: bien entendu plus sous Windows, trop faibles, mais en tant que serveurs sous Linux ils sont parfaits. Après avoir tenté HP et Asus, entre autres, je me suis rabattu sur la gamme pro de Dell. Très chère. Mais quand le truc te fait plus de 10 ans tu te dis que l'investissement valait le coup.

Il y a surtout un autre point qu'il ne faut pas perdre de vue. Certains fabricants (Dell en tête et c'est en autres pour cela que je n'en veux plus) achètent des machines en marque blanche sur lesquelles ils collent leur logo.

Spyware through your own network can be somewhat mitigated by firewalling, but not if the offending device has its own Net connection.

These arguments seem stuck in the present. After all we already have "stationary cell phone" services to replace land-line phone services and I think most "phone" companies would be looking forward to a future where there's no "last mile" any more, there are only cell towers instead.

You set the cron job to initiate a backup at 04:00. Perhaps there's something configured in your /etc/btrbk/btrbk.conf that says check for retention by day/week/month/year rather than 04:00/day/week/month/year.

Our last two TVs were $234 (55") and $250 (43", inc Roku). It costs $330 for the cheapest 34" monitor at https://www.pcmag.com/deals/best-computer-monitor-deals-this-month The only walk-in monitor is $350 for 34" at BestBuy, but it has to be ultra-wide.

Otherwise it just completes its entire run, creating snapshots, and sending the diffs between snapshots to a backup destination at whatever time you run it. And the logs show a full run at 00:00, when there is nothing configured to kick that off. And if I activate that 04:00 cronjob, I get two full runs in my logs, with the attendant _1 snapshots in my snapshot directory.

The terms you want to feed to apt are 'html' and 'lint'. A linter is a program that looks for lint: bits that aren't quite right and should be fixed. In this case I see that there are standalone linters that you can run on your documents and modules that you can install in some editors. -dsr-

Actuellement mon PC fixe a une dizaine d'année et je pense à le remplacer car sa compatibilité avec l'USB3 est aléatoire. Sans compter que la CM (Asus) n'a que 2 prises dont une monopolisée par le clavier (si on branche le clavier sur les USB2 le BIOS/UEFI ne le reconnaît pas ...). Je pensais m'orienter vers un Ryzen mais la stabilité sous Linux semblait aléatoire il y a quelques temps ? Cordialement, Gaëtan signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

At a minimum your system must have a S/PDIF output (obviously). Then you must somehow convince your system to generate AC-3 output as regular output to the ALSA spdif/iec958 output is two channels only[1]. Kodi (and probably everything else based on ffmpeg) can do so for at least FLAC and AAC 5.1 audio (tested). It should be much easier to address a specific channel with an audio device with 6 (or recently 8) analog outputs, like this[2]. You should also get individual 4 independent volume controls (Front, Surround, Center and LFE). [1] at least for my audio devices 'speaker-test' only accepts '2' for the '--channels/-c' parameter for all digital outputs, but the 'surround51' analog output accepts 2, 4 and 6. [2] https://www.itgalaxy.ro/placi-de-sunet/logilink/sound-box-7-1-usb-31242/ Disclaimer: this is just an example, Linux compatibility unknown. It's probably a good idea to buy something like this only from sellers that allow quick and easy returns, no questions asked, just in case it doesn't work well for you.

FW: bits from the Release Team: bullseye status update
- Forwarded message from Paul Gevers - Date: Sun, 2 May 2021 21:41:38 +0200 From: Paul Gevers To: Debian Devel Announce Subject: bits from the Release Team: bullseye status update User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/78.10.0 Mail-Followup-To: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Dear all, bullseye is going to rock. We're getting there. This bits is a small update to explain where we stand and how you can help the bullseye release. debian-installer As it currently stands, what we need to focus on is getting the debian-installer in the right quality. The debian-installer can use you help by providing solutions for issues marked as blockers for bug 987441 [987441] and by trying out the debian-installer [1]. One of the most worrying issues is a black screen after installation caused by missing firmware, Lucas wrote a tentative summary of the issue [2] (with some follow-up). RC bugs status == At the time of writing 132 unfixed release-critical bugs affect bullseye, of which 69 are in key packages. This is the number which needs to reach zero before the release can take place. As a reminder, the following changes are eligible for unblocking: * targeted fixes for release critical bugs (i.e., bugs of severity critical, grave, and serious); * fixes for severity: important bugs, only when this can be done via unstable; * translation updates and documentation fixes, only when this can be done via unstable; * updates to packages directly related to the release process (i.e. with references to the current layout of the archive), only when this can be done via unstable; Please note that a new upstream release with other changes included does *not* count as a "targeted fix". You must cherry-pick patches to fix bugs unless otherwise directed. Please see our FAQ [3] for questions you should ask yourself and be able to answer to judge if your new upstream release has a chance in the unblock process. As the release draws nearer, fixes for non-RC bugs which do not affect a package's general usability will increasingly be deferred or rejected. Upgrade testing === If you are in a position to carry out upgrade testing from buster to bullseye in the field, now is the time to do so and send your feedback as a bug report against the "upgrade-reports" pseudo-package. Release notes = Please ensure that any information about your packages which should form part of the release notes is prepared in plenty of time to allow for review and translations. Release notes coordination happens in the BTS in bugs filed against the "release-notes" pseudo-package and in merge requests on salsa [4]. Responding to unblock requests == We try hard to keep track of all unblock requests, but there are many opened every day and the queue can sometimes mean you don't get a response quickly. You can help as follows: * we will not usually look at requests tagged "moreinfo". If you follow up to a request for information, please remove the tag so that we review it again. * include as much information, rationale and commentary as you can in your original request. We're probably looking at your package for the first time and among lots of other requests, so the information you provide is crucial for proper triaging. * don't start discussion about an unblock on the debian-release list or #debian-release, even if you're not sure whether your fix will be accepted. Always open a bug and then it can be tracked properly. * inclusion of an inline diffstat with commentary plus usage of filterdiff to exclude generated files (e.g. autofoo) or translations can be beneficial. When using filterdiff, please remember to include the filter criteria/the command line, so we know what was omitted. Finally, please continue to help the debian-installer and further concentrate on RC bug fixes and let's get that number down to zero and release!

wikipedia surfraw elvi needs an update
Too many wikipedia failures using surfraw that never happened before. Where that elvi goes generates a couple pages of error message most of the time on wikipedia searches. If I use duckduckgo elvi, I can find a wikipedia page listed in duckduckgo's search results which matches the search I could have done with wikipedia.

But it's a script, so you could just insert some debugging stuff (like, for example, reporting its parent PID when it's started again)? So you might catch the ghosts parent?

I think the only reason you might "absolute"ly need to reboot is if a newer kernel fixes a security hole to which your current system is vulnerable. Since your kernel might include security holes to which you happen not to be vulnerable (e.g. because you just happen not to use that part of the kernel, or for some other reason), it's in generally extremely difficult to determine with a 100% certainty whether or not a reboot is "absolute"ly needed.

Mais pourquoi systemd s'occupe de l'écran qu'on referme?
Bonjour tout le monde j'ai installé Mate-Desktop sur un ordinateur, et j'ai réglé les paramètres d'économie d'énergie pour que quand je ferme l'écran de l'ordinateur: que ça vérouille l'écran ou à la limite qu'il ne se passe rien. mais lorsque je ferme l'écran, l'ordinateur passe en veille. soit il y a un bug dans mate-desktop qui n'est pas capable d'aller changer les réglages de systemd. soit systemd devrait laisser l'environement de bureau faire son travail (j'ai d'autres utilisateurs qui par exemple seraient satisfait du choix par defaut). en étant obligé d'aller modifier le fichier /etc/systemd/logind.conf j'ai quand même l'impression de faire du bricolage. la valeur de HandleLidSwitch devrait être à 'ignore' par defaut, au lieu de 'suspend'. ça laisserait aux utilisateurs le choix de régler ce paramettre dans leur environement préféré. et si un admin veut vraiment contrôler les choses, alors il lui suffira d'aller tripoter le fichier /etc/systemd/logind.conf que le choix par defaut soit 'suspend' ne me dérange pas, c'est une variable qu'on peut facilement changer soit même dans l'environement de bureau. ce qui me dérange c'est qu'il faille être l'administrateur de l'ordinateur pour changer ce réglage. ce qui me dérange aussi, c'est que c'est systemd qui l'impose. (on en revient à "pourquoi ça n'est pas 'ignore'? ") merci pour votre attention
