Si te pasa tantas veces y con distintas distribuciones igual el problema
no está en la ISO. Probaste a instalar las ISOs en distintos

I suggest you try purging xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon.
I couldn't get Stretch's radeon to do 2560x1080 with HD5450 either, but
2560x1080 WFM with the built-in/native Xorg modeset driver, the recommended

If the machines have two serial ports, they can be grouped pairs such
that the serial console of one is connected to the second port of the
other.  Then you can do just about everything except turn the power on
again (unless you have Wake-on-LAN set up too) from the other machine
using cu, tip, or minicom or screen.  But anything you can do from the
console itself you can then do from the other machine in the pair.

If it was just a matter of having a different daemon available to the
outside world (or other machines on the LAN) then maybe you could have
had the dropbear SSH daemon running on another port.  If some of the
system is not working maybe the shell could be busybox, but I don't know
if that would work for you in this situation.

Lars

Could you have a local firewall eg iptables that has accidentally blocked
ALL outgoing traffic? I think you can get this error if ping cannot connect
OUT of the box.

Does it happen if you run ping as root?

I've also seen this when the kernel didn't have all the right stuff
compiled in, but that's not likely to be it if you are using a Debian
kernel. Running strace on a ping attempt could diagnose that.

So check if it happens when you are root. If it does, check your internal
firewall (not your network's). If that is ok or switched off, try strace.

Failure differs. With login root, password entry is not offered. With other

This is not really new in stretch. You can experiment this funny
effect in jessie as well. Try this on a jessie system:

cd /bin
mv ping ping.old
cp ping.old ping

Then ping will no longer work for an ordinary user because it lost its
"capability", that you can see with getcap this way:

getcap ping.old
getcap ping

It's a funny effect because you will never see the difference by just
doing "ls -l".

This capability may be lost, for example, if you use rsync to copy the root
filesystem to another partition with rsync and forget to use -X option.

Merci de la procédure, je la connaissais pour l'avoir utilisée avec
succès du temps d'iOS6 mais en USB, moins de complication qu'avec le
wifi.  Ça marchait en effet très bien pour le partage de connexion
avec Linux.  Avec iOS7, pas de mot de passe à taper, juste une demande
de confirmation pour établir la connexion jugée douteuse par ce même
iOS7.

Peut-être que sur une version plus récente d'iOS la politique d'Apple

On my old debian system I could ping as a normal user.  The ping

presumably because the bit isn't set.

Testing Dist MIPS Install Problem

[Mike]

Hello all,

I'm playing around with using QEMU to configure different install
environments. At present, I am able to successfully install and run a
Debian MIPS install using the latest table release:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/

However, when I attempt to do the same process with the testing branch,
upon start-up of the installer I immediately get a kernel panic:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/

[1.903631] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x0004
[1.903631]
[1.905232] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x0004

Anyone know why this would be? It works just fine in stable but panics in
testing.

Best,

Mike

I've always used systems that have "standard" runlevels

0 = halt
1 = single user
2 = (unused /user-defined)
3 = multi-user, X disabled
4 = (unused / user-defined)
5 = multi-user, X enabled

Though, in playing with Debian, I'm finding they set runlevel2 =
"standard runlevel5".  Haven't gotten around to "fixing" it.

Removing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics worked. Thanks!

xserver-xorg-input-all depends on xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. So maybe 
the first step would be to remove that dependency since it does not seem 
to be needed anymore.

Instalación de Debian Jessie.

[Alparkom]

Buenas.

Estoy intentando instalar Debian 8.4 (versión "netinstal") desde un USB 
en un disco duro con 2 particiones. La primera antes tenía W10 pero fue 
formateada, la segunda tiene archivos y su formato es EXT4.


Al tratar de instalar Debian inicia desde el "grub". Mas que eso, es 
como una consola que comienza con el "grub> " y al presionar tabulador 
entrega todos los comandos disponibles.


Alguna solución? Gracias.

Are there some relevant messages in dmesg or .xsession-errors ?

That I interpret as switching off of the GPU.
What are the specifications of the graphic card regarding maximal electric
energy consumption? On the web I found something like around 160 Watts.
Can your power supply unit in the computer deliver that?

You said in another e-mail that your computer worked with Windows but maybe the
driver is better with energy saving.

I use the kernel parameter "radeon.dpm=1" for saving some energy with my GPU.
In the file /var/log/dmesg there appears then a lot of output regarding dpm
(lines containing [drm]).

ça marchait très bien jusqu'à iOS6, un modem 3G en quelque sorte (à l'époque).
Puis avec iOS7, l'iPhone demandait si on voulait vraiment établir la
connexion et après acceptation, ça bouclait.  Ça tournait en rond si
on préfère.

J'avais appelé le support d'Apple qui m'a fort bien répondu, mais
après m'avoir fiat tout réinstaller, les mêmes causes produisant les
mêmes effets, j'étais dans la même situation.

Depuis je n'ai plus osé upgrader mon iPhone de crainte que d'autres
services ne fonctionnent plus non plus.  Peut-être les choses
ont-elles changé mais comme on ne peut pas downgrader l'iOS, j'en
reste là.

L'iPhone a ses qualités mais pas celle de l'interopérabilité.  Ceci
dit, peut-être que les choses ont changé ?

La commande :

donne ces infos ci-dessus,

Il y a aussi le fichier /var/log/auth.log

Call for testing: regression update for samba security update (DSA-3548-1)

[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Hi

The last Samba security update issued as DSA-3548-1 introduced several
upstream regressions, which are addressed in this update.

Before we release the packages we would like to call for additional
testing. The packages can be found on

  https://people.debian.org/~carnil/tmp/samba/jessie

(amd64 builds only; no apt repository available).

If you find new problems introduced by updating to these packages from
the ones which are currently on the security archive
(2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2), please report the problem directly to
t...@security.debian.org .

Regards,
Salvatore, on behalf of the Debian security team

Yes, this is strange. Did you try to fiddle with the setup of the monitor using
the buttons at the monitor? Something like scaling options?
I have no idea why xrandr doesn't show the native resolution.
The wiki of archlinux is a good documention. See "Adding undetected 
resolutions" on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions

something like

  xrandr --newmode "2569x1080_66.7" 185.6 2560 2624 2688 2784  1080 1083 1093
 -hsync -vsync
  xrandr --addmode "2569x1080_66.7"
  xrandr --output HDMI-0 "2569x1080_66.7"

using information from your Xorg.0.log

No. It's just that I#m more familiar with aptitude CLI for package management,
then I would have commanded
  aptitude unmarkauto xserver-xorg-video-ati
  aptitude purge xserver-xorg-video-all
  aptitude purge '~c'

The last command purges remains of removed packages.

Re: bash_history_root borrado/reinicio

[franiortiz hotmail]

Hola a todos,
aportando algo sobre el tema 
con el tiempo me he dado cuenta de que casi siempre tengo una 
pestaña-consola (en lxterminal o konsole) con un 
"tail -f /var/log/messages -f /var/log/syslog -f /var/log/auth.log -f 
/var/log/dmesg -f /var/log/faillog -f /var/mail/usu -f /var/log/daemon.log -f 
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log"
el tema es que si  cierro el tail con ctrl+c no hay problema 
pero si cierro la consola con todas las pestañas de golpe, "clicando en la x" 
al siguiente reinicio el bash_history de root esta vacio.
 mi bashrc de root:

~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

# Note: PS1 and umask are already set in /etc/profile. You should not
# need this unless you want different defaults for root.
# PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\h:\w\$ '
# umask 022

# You may uncomment the following lines if you want `ls' to be colorized:
# export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
# eval "`dircolors`"
# alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
# alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l'
# alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA'
#
# Some more alias to avoid making mistakes:

[snip]

You can of course still configure synaptics manually. That will continue
to work.

With GNOME 3.20 support for non-libinput configurations has been dropped
from gnome-control-center. So if you want to configure your touchpad
(and mouse) settings, you'll need xserver-xorg-input-libinput [1].

Unfortunately the synaptics package in Debian was changed to have a
higher priority then libinput [2]. So if you have
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed you can't configure your touchpad
in gnome-control-center atm.

This situation is unfortunate, but we are aware of it and hope to figure
something out for stretch.

Michael

AFAIK, synaptics can do tap-to-click too. Perhaps it needs some
configuration, though. This is from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

  Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "the-touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.5"
Option "MaxSpeed" "2.5"
Option "CornerCoasting" "on"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "10"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "TapAndDragGesture" "on"
  EndSection

(it's the configurability why I stay with synaptics: "thou shalt stay
away from the knobs" isn't a philosophy which suits me :)

Do you have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed? If that driver is
available it takes precedence over libinput
See /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-synaptics should make sure libinput is
used and should give you tap-to-click back.

GNOME 3.20 dropped support for tap-to-click?

[Francois Gouget]

Since the upgrade to GNOME 3.20.1 I lost tap-to-click in GNOME.
I cannot reestablish it in gnome-control-center as that only offers to 
switch the left and right buttons.

Does anyone know of a workaround to that?

Note that:
* xserver-xorg-input-libinput is installed.

* Tap-to-click still works in gdm3. See bug 731439:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731429

* However the same command I used for bug 731439 has no effect in my 
  GNOME session. That is:
  gdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true
  has no effect

* I also tried the following command with values 1 through 12 with no 
  result:
  xinput set-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" "Synaptics Tap Action" 1
  ('ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad' is the name of my touchpad btw)

* I did not find anything related to tap-to-click in gnome-tweak-tools.

Hmm, XFCE won't start after upgrade

[Anthony Papillion]

I downloaded the latest stable, did an upgrade, then replaced my stake trips 
with testing and did another upgrade. After that, XFCE went back to its first 
run state:  asking me how I want the panel configured, etc. It also wiped out 
all of my configuration data (in Pidgin, for example). 

Lastly, XFCE doesn't start on its own. I have to log in via the console then 
manually start XFCE with the startx command. Any ideas what might have 
happened? I've not gone through life hey but I plan on this tomorrow but I'm 
hoping someone might have a quick answer. 

Thanks,
Anthony

dphys-swapfile why don't us fallocate to create swapfile

[basti]

Hello,

on a low voltage cpu system I can see that the creation of an 1 GB swap
file can take several minutes. (The file-system is on SD-card which
write about 6-7 MB/s).

As I see fallocate can do this job much faster, so why you don't use this?

fallocate is also part of the util-linux package which essential in debian.

Best Regards,
basti

Verification of (xen) netboot images

[Jan Bakuwel]

Hi all,

I'd like to use netboot images to install Debian VMs on a (Debian) Xen host.

The copies on

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/

differ from those on

http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/

and I've not been able to find a way to verify these images. No signed
checksum files for example such as those available for ISO images.

Why would these two mirrors not have the same files?

How can I verify these images before using them?

I am mistaken to think these netboot images are part of the official
debian installer?

kind regards,
Jan

Hi, john,

there sure are people on this list willing to help you, but you
will have to help us help you: which software are you trying to
get off your computer? How did you get it on your computer in
the first place?

Then there is Isenkram [1], by Petter Reinholdtsen. It strives for
desktop integration, thus it might have tons of dependencies, which
you might want or want not... but it sure is a source of inspiration.
There's much to learn from Petter, I think

Part of what you want was already done by Karsten M. Self. I remember using a
shell script by him in around 2002. You might try Google if you can find a copy
of that script. I think it was called systeminfo.

gathering system information

[kamaraju kusumanchi]

I am planning to develop a script that gathers all the _relevant_
system information for common configuration tasks such as sound,
graphics, wireless, network, printer etc.

Here is a proof of concept
https://gitlab.com/d3k2mk7/rutils/blob/master/debian_user/gather_system_info.py
which gathers information related to the sound task such as sound card
information, kernel modules loaded, debian version, kernel version
etc.,  Appendix shows a sample run on my system.

Similar things can be done for other tasks. For example, to address X
related issues, the script may parse Xorg.0.log for relevant errors,
show what graphics driver packages are installed, show information on
the graphics adapter etc.,

The general idea is that if a user is having trouble configuring these
tasks (ex:- sound/printer does not work), he can simply copy paste the
output of this single script in the email to debian-user mailing list
as opposed to gathering everything manually.

What do you think? Is it a useful/stupid idea? Any
feedback/comments/criticism are greatly appreciated (no matter how
small you think they are).

thanks
raju
