In general, perhaps. Not on my part, I don't think.

Though I concede I should have included 'auto ens3' in my example.

Sorry for the confusion. I expected to get a autoconfigured address in
the prefix the router got from the isp, not in a ULA one I created
myself. However, it's starting to look like the router actually does
advertise the ULA as well (I thought it didn't), so that's probably
correct behaviour.

I didn't find anywhere in the man page that said the order of my stanzas
was important - I assumed they were entirely independent of each other.

And it's the way I'm going.

It just appears that the idea of using one stanza per ip address (or at
least per prefix) doesn't seem to work consistently.

Olá Antonio, mas uma vez eu agradeço a ajuda,

Quando eu rodo pelo terminal ele simplesmente não acontece nada, fica o
terminal suspenso e não aparece nenhuma mensagem.

Mas ai o que eu fiz aqui que resolveu antes de tentar criar uma conta foi
colocar o meu usuario no grupo root

sudo usermod -a -G root hiure

Será que isso é uma coisa ruim de se fazer? Sera que seria melhor criar a

I bet there's at least a little confusion between

auto ens3

and

iface ens3 inet6 auto

the first one tells the system to bring ens3 up at boot time;
the second one tells the system what to do with ens3.

Huh ? Isn't it the autoconfigured address you expect to get from an 
"auto" stanza ?



Does that suggest a bug in ifupdown? Or am I interpreting something wrong?


I would call it more an unforeseen consequence.


Actually, if I put the 'auto' stanza after the 'static' one, it does
work (I still get the autogenerated address in the ULA prefix).

Is it supposed to be order-sensitive?


Yes. "auto" sets autoconf=1 to enable SLAAC, and "static" sets 
autoconf=0 by default, which disables SLAAC and removes any 
autoconfigured address.



I can also make it work by adding 'autoconf 1' to the static stanza, and
omitting the auto stanza.


This is the right way to go.

Met Firefox 65.0 van mozilla.org werkt het bij mij ook probleemloos
onder Debian. En wat interessant is, daarna werkt firefox-esr ook weer.

Firefox-esr 60.5.0esr-1~deb9u1 probeert een oude versie van Widevine te
installeren, namelijk versie 1.4.8.1008, dit gaat niet goed.

Firefox 65 installeert een nieuwere versie van Widevine, namelijk versie
4.10.1196.0,  in ~/.mozilla, en daarna doet ook firefox-esr het.
Want dat gebruikt ook die ~/.mozilla.

De enige manier waarop ik dit tot nu toe kan realiseren is door toch
Firefox 65 van mozilla.org eenmalig op te starten...

Groet,
Paul

People have been prosecuted for evading the controls in that way.  The

Depending on what you (or your software) considers to be a "header":
If it's the ID3 stuff, then something like exiftool might do the

  i tried removing the check for the autotools and then 
purged all the i386 stuff that multiarch added to see if 
it would compile anyways.

  no, it would not.

  but at least i could get it to compile the other way
so thanks for looking into it.

  i did look around on-line before asking, and did try
a few of the suggestions, but none of them dealt with
multiarch.

  thanks again,

  i did end up doing that.

  i used the debian multiarch wiki web page:
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

  the program compiles and runs so at least i know
it will work.

  for a once or twice a year compile/run test this is
ok, but i'll probably purge all this extra stuff in
between tests because i don't need these packages 
around otherwise...

According to
  
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.64/html_node/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html
you will have to find out where your auto-empire (starting at your
configure.ac) has a test which matches this grep expression:

  AC_CHECK_HEADER[S]*(.*sys/ioctl.h.*

and either fix it by giving the necessary helper headers or by just
throwing it out.

The helper headers would have to be determined by try and error and
then included in the fourth argument code snippet like "number.h" in
the autoconf documentation example.

Throwing out the test might suppress early failure on systems which have
no sys/ioctl.h or might prevent workarounds if it is missing. This depends
much on the second and third argument of the macro: [action-if-found],
[action-if-not-found].
See also
  
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.64/html_node/Generic-Headers.html#Generic-Headers
A quick look into my own code shows that i happily include 
but never check for its existence. Works on all contemporary Unixes and
with Cygwin.

Maybe EFI did not like the GRUB bootloader in the EFI System Partition of
the ISO image.
Or maybe EFI insists in Secure Boot if not switched to legacy mode.

This should be reported to projects debian-cd or debian-live, depending
on the ISO image used.
You mentioned "netinst". Something like debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso ?
That would be a debian-cd ISO.
A debian-live ISO would be named like debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso.

For me the rule is defined by the IRS and the FinCEN. The very heading
of IRS form 8300--"Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a
Trade or Business"--appears to leave little wiggle room for subjective
interpretation in the matter.

The perversity of the thing is, Gene, as I've pointed out elsewhere, for
certain monetary instruments which normally would not fall foul of the
reporting requirement when used in good faith, attempting to use those
same instruments in such a manner as to avoid triggering the reporting
requirement results in the triggering of the reporting requirement.

As those monetary instruments do not comprise the personal check, however,
both you and your used car salesman can breathe easy.

It could be that your sys/ioctl.h is the 64 bit one. Some questions:

  - you're on Debian, are you?
  - what is the exact path to sys/ioctl.h?
  - have you enabled multiarch?

That said, cross building isn't that hard these days (and Debian
rocks at that). Some -dev packages aren't (yet) multi-arch capable,
so in those cases you'll have to bite the bullet anyway.

(Yes, in your case above, sys/ioctl.h is (I guess) in linux-libc-dev,
which is multi-arch capable).

Or my fav used car dealer, a good member of our church, who's sold me the 
last 5 vehicles we've worn out, running a 2 site business his 
grandfather started about the end of WW-II. And that's how he's done it 
since that $10,000 rule went into effect. Anytime I feel the need to 
refresh my driveway, I've alway found what I wanted, for a decent price.
Driveway occupants currently include a 2007 RAV4 that had 21,000 miles on 
it when I wrote 2 checks for it in 2011, now has 62k on it, and hasn't 
turned a wheel in months, but its sitting there with a charger on its 
battery because its computer will kill a battery in a week if its not 
moving.

Then a year back my 99 gmc pickup decided to rust thru its brake lines 
and start leaking axle grease at the spring hanger bolts, about a year 
after I'd put a new long block in it because the head gaskets failed and 
the old one had a pan full of antifreeze at 112k miles, I got it up to 
116k before rust was the ultimate enemy.  So now I'm in a 2011 Ford, 
ecoboost v6 that looked showroom when I got behind the wheel a year ago. 
Had 139k on it already, but I've not been very far with it so its at 
142,300 about now. Worst complaint is its poor mileage around town when 
using it for the daily driver. Way too easy to spool up the blowers and 
get some serious giddyup out of it.  Crew cab, full topper, first class 
all the way. But that giddyup has to move over 7000 lbs, so the mileage 
hovers at about 14.  Reset and go 435 one way to the nieces Dairy farm 
in NY and it will be showing just shy of 18 when it next pulls into the 
driveway.  I'd sell the toy, but I can't get the missus up into this 
cab, so it sits until I have to take her, her oxygen tank and her 
wheelchair someplace. Which hasn't happened since last summer.

I think we've about worn this off topic thread out. The $10,000 rule is 
what it is wherever you are doing business.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

well, I have a bad memory and I was tired.



You also have to turn on legacy boot, of course, to boot from the USB drive.

The ISOs do have boot entries for EFI from DVD and from USB stick.
Probably unetbootin did not copy the EFI System Partition from the ISO.


Happened with every way of making the install drive, though.

C, automake, testing change for compiling old c program

[songbird]

  i used to be able to compile my program 
using Debian testing/unstable by setting the -m32
in CFLAGS and regenerating my environment.

  now i'm picking up a warning from the auto stuff 
like:

=
checking sys/ioctl.h usability... no
checking sys/ioctl.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sys/ioctl.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/ioctl.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/ioctl.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: sys/ioctl.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: sys/ioctl.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING: ## -- ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to blahblahblah##
configure: WARNING: ## -- ##
checking for sys/ioctl.h... no
=


  if i ignore the warning the program will not compile:

=
In file included from /usr/include/sys/ioctl.h:26,
 from io.c:34:
/usr/include/bits/ioctls.h:23:10: fatal error: asm/ioctls.h: No such file or 
directory
 #include 
  ^~
=


  if i don't set the CFLAGS it won't give me
errors from the auto stuff and the program will
compile but then segfault when run because it 
isn't 64 bit sane (and no i'm not going to go 
through and fix it, it's an ancient program 
with a lot of issues).

  i was hoping i wouldn't have to do a cross-
build setup for this to get it working.  that
drags in a lot of extra dependencies...

  any ideas/hints?

  it being old code if i can get it to compile
and run that is all i wish to do as simple as

https://droit-finances.commentcamarche.com/faq/7183-paiement-en-especes-et-liquide-plafonds

The IRS is rather sly in its thinking, it seems, because if you pay for
your $12,000 truck with a $12,000 cashier's check, you do not trigger
the reporting requirement; however, if you pay for your truck with two
cashier's checks of $6,000 each, you do trigger the reporting
requirement, as in this latter case they figure you're attempting to
avert it.

I thought the $10,000 rule had to do with *cash*.

 Cash does not include:

  • Personal checks drawn on the account of the writer.
  • A cashier’s check, bank draft, traveler’s check or money order with a
face value of more than $10,000.

Yes, this is a very important point. More speed at more quality,
this is an offer one can't decline :-)

Yes. I just wanted to present a somewhat minimalist command line
to grow from.

Nice little optimization, right. With videos and not-that-fast
hardware it'll make a noticeable difference, I guess.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm not that deep in codec land these days.

Thanks for your comments!

Thanks :-)

But see Nicolas's reply too: his version is probably faster
and its result will have better quality.

According to (1), you should be fine removing '.old-dkms' files in '/boot'.
However, I would do a backup of those files before removing them.

Re: GRUB, GPT, RAID1 + UEFI

[Orestes Mas]

(Perdó pel top-posting. El mòbil...)

Hola Lluís. Jo fa temps que instal·lo sempre amb gpt i uefi, i en general no he 
tingut cap problema. Només fa anys, amb les primeres plaques uefi vaig haber-me 
de barallar amb un portàtil i ho vaig haver de solventar amb el "refit".

Només en alguna ocasió semblava que l'arrencada se'm resistia, però vaig 
descobrir les variables efi i el paquet "efivar", i oli en un llum.

Quant al raid, a casa tinc això mateix que dius tu, i no he tingut problemes. 
Bé, si que n'he tingut: de tant en tant el RAID se'm desincronitza però ja vaig 
descobrir que és perquè, en la meva ignorància, vaig emprar discs western 
digital "green", no pensats per raid perquè es posen en standby al cap d'una 
estona i com que triguen uns segons en tornar a despertar-se, el raid es pensa 
que no responen. Estic en procés gradual de substitució pels "red", i ara el 
problema és molt més esooràdic. Res a veure amb uefi.

Records,
Orestes.

Same here, same here - limit is €1,-, so we do the same split all into
work packages below 1,-

However I think they are watching if the wrong people are doing the
laundering :D. I just heard a story how civil border patrol in US caught 2
CIA employes with 100 pounds of white powder near the border and they
explained this belongs to CIA :D

Another option are the fees they collect - but I am not sure if it is per
transaction or %charge on the total.

Since the original is already in MP3, -acodec copy (or -c:a copy, more
modern) will avoid re-encoding the file, and thus having the MP3
artifacts twice.

But if you want to recode, then do not put just a codec: you would get
the default quality parameters, and they probably do not suit you.
Specify the quality you want. RTFM for that.

Last: usually better to put -ss before -i, because it avoids decoding
the whole beginning of the file.

ffmpeg's man page is pretty complete, but pretty daunting too. Here's
a command line to help jump-start things (corrections/enhancements
welcome):

  ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ss 10 -t 20 -acodec mp3 output.mp3

This is assuming you want to have your result as .mp3 too (consider
a free codec like vorbis or flac, if you want lossless).

Here's a rundown of the above command line:

  -i input.mp3  -- the input file. Replace by "your" name

  -ss 10        -- the start time (in seconds). You can use a
                  duration in the hh:mm:ss. format (cf.
                  man page ffmpeg-utils(1)

  -t 20        -- the duration (just leave it out if you want
                  copy all to the end). Format as above.

  -acodec mp3  -- the audio codec for output. See ffmpeg man
                  page for possibilities (audio & video codecs
                  have options of their own, lots of fun for
                  long winter afternoons :-)

  output.mp3    -- your desired output file name

Actually, if I put the 'auto' stanza after the 'static' one, it does
work (I still get the autogenerated address in the ULA prefix).

Is it supposed to be order-sensitive?

I can also make it work by adding 'autoconf 1' to the static stanza, and
omitting the auto stanza.

IPv6 addresses

[Richard Hector]

Hi all,

Tipped off by a comment on here, and confirmed I think by reading the
manpage, it seems I should be able to set multiple addresses on an
interface by using multiple iface stanzas for the same interface in
/etc/network/interfaces.

So I have something like this:

iface ens3 inet static
  

# this one should hopefully configure via SLAAC
iface ens3 inet6 auto

# this one is for my static stuff (using a ULA prefix)
iface ens3 inet6 static
  address 2001:db8::1/64
  up ip -6 route add ...
  up ip -6 route add ...
  up ip -6 route add ...

But I don't get the SLAAC address. The only way I've managed to get the
SLAAC address plus the static, is to have a single auto stanza like this:

iface ens3 inet6 auto
  up ip -6 addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev ens3
  up ip -6 route add ...
  up ip -6 route add ...
  up ip -6 route add ...

Incidentally, that also gives me an autoconfigured address (based on the
MAC) in the 2001:db8::/64 prefix, which I don't think I need.

Does that suggest a bug in ifupdown? Or am I interpreting something wrong?

Cheers,
Richard

ffmpeg's man page is pretty complete, but pretty daunting too. Here's
a command line to help jump-start things (corrections/enhancements
welcome):

  ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ss 10 -t 20 -acodec mp3 output.mp3

This is assuming you want to have your result as .mp3 too (consider
a free codec like vorbis or flac, if you want lossless).

Here's a rundown of the above command line:

  -i input.mp3  -- the input file. Replace by "your" name

  -ss 10-- the start time (in seconds). You can use a
   duration in the hh:mm:ss. format (cf.
   man page ffmpeg-utils(1)

  -t 20 -- the duration (just leave it out if you want

  -acodec mp3   -- the audio codec for output. See ffmpeg man

  output.mp3-- your desired output file name

as Mick pointed out ffmpeg should be able to do this if you figure out
the suitable command line. If you prefer a gui, I think audacity should
be able to do this, and it might be easier to determine the desired start
and end points from a gui.
