Perhaps.  I need / want a docking station of some sort in any case (i.e., even
if I later upgrade the laptop), and this looks like a reasonable choice,
especially because I need VGA output to go through my KVM switch (which had to
match one of my (mini-)tower computers which has only VGA output (no HDMI).

(I need / want the docking station so I can easily unplug the laptop to take
it to various meetings (of which there are less of lately because of the
Covid19 thing).

I did learn about ExpressCards / Cardbus, and found a dual USB 3.0 ExpressCard
on ebay for under $10.

I've ordered both and I'll see what happens.  If I have to upgrade the laptop,
that remains a possibility.



If I am reading the user manual for my E1505 and the Intel ICH7 
datasheet correctly, the ExpressCard port in my laptop should be PCIe 1x 
at 2.5 Gbps.  I would expect your E1501 to be equivalent (?).



Please let us know how the ExpressCard dual USB 3.0 adapter and docking 
station work with Debian.



Be prompt about testing and keep all the boxes, packaging, etc., in 
pristine condition, so you can return everything within the time window 
if there are problems.

How are you starting X?

I start it manually from the console via startx, and in order for that
to work, I've needed the xserver-xorg-legacy package and some matching
settings configured locally.

IIRC that around the time of the systemd switchover (not necessarily
tied to systemd itself), there were changes made in the way X is to be
launched, such that with the right configuration it can be run without
root rights - but that if you don't have that configuration, and you're
not launching X as root directly, you need this "legacy" setup. Last
time I was looking at it, I don't think I found any practical way to do
that configuration without systemd or some replication of part of its
functionality.


For what it's worth, I track current testing, and the only
systemd-related packages on my system that I know of are libsystemd0 and
udev. I certainly don't have any problems with starting X.

I did the initial upgrade around the time of the original init-systems
GR, and have been tracking testing in this way ever since; the most I've
had to do is wrangle some package pins to avoid having some dependency
attempt to install libpam-systemd (and therefore switch the init system
to systemd) on package install or dist-upgrade, and that hasn't been
particularly hard for quite some time now.

Buster without systemd?

2020-03-22 Thread Marc Shapiro
Supposedly, one can install/upgrade to Buster while maintaining sysv as 
init.  Or has this changed.  Over the past several months I have been 
attempting to upgrade to Buster, but I have been completely unsuccessful.


Has anyone managed to upgrade to Buster without installing systemd, or 
jumping through hoops that would drive a lion tamer mad?


I made a copy of all of my partitions so that I could do the upgrade 
while maintaining Stretch in case something went wrong. I'm glad that I did!


The first time that I tried this, I actually managed to upgrade to 
Buster and have everything appear to work.  Then I realized that I had 
only done an "upgrade" but not a "full-upgrade".  After that, X would 
not start.  I have, as I said, spent several months trying to get X 
working on Buster without systemd.  I have not been successful.  None of 
my later attempts ever got a working Buster with X, at all.


Is it possible to do what I want?  Or, after 21 to 22 years of using 
Debian (since Bo), do I have to switch to another linux distro?  I would 
rather not have to switch, but you choose the distro that suits your 
needs, and if Debian no longer suits my needs then I may have to.

First follow Henning Follman's advice. Installing again will be good
practice for you. At the network mirroring portion look for

  deb.debian.org

This is best for you as a mirror.

In that other thread, I point out that I decided to buy a Wavlink 3.0 docking 
station (with HDMI, DVI, and VGA video outputs) (on sale today at Newegg) and 
a dual USB 3.0 ExpressCard on ebay (for under $10).

Thanks to Dave Christensen for pointing out the throughput I'd need for VGA 
1080p (187 MB/s at 30 fps) -- I'm hoping that won't really be a problem as I 
don't plan to use graphic intensive applications on the laptop, although I'm 
not sure whether it will be a problem -- I'll be using things like kate, 
kmail, and then command line stuff to work on some programs.

It doesn't specifically say (in the specs) that it works with Linux, but one of
the reviewers / commentors / customers mentions that he uses it with Linux
(and, iiuc, that requires use of a DisplayLink driver).

My other concern is with the speed of the USB ports.

The description claims that it works with either a USB 3.0 or a USB 2.0
connection to the laptop (the 1501's USB ports are 2.0).  I think that would
work for me if the USB 2.0 port (or at least one of them) was the high speed
version (480 Mbps) (vs. the "standard" USB 2.0 which seems to be 12 Mbps.

(I say this because I don't (and don't intend to play games on this machine,
or view things like youtube videos which might require a high video
bandwidth.)

getting to the question:

So, I'm trying to find the speed of the USB ports.  I've struck out on googling
for the information online, so I started digging into trying to find the
information in Linux.

I found some instructions online that suggest running the command:

rhk@s32:~$ cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb?/speed

And I see this:

480
12
12
12
12
12

I've also experimented with viewing other parameters in the /sys/bus/usb/
devices/usb?

Some of the results indicate that there are 6 USB "devices" (let me say,
internal to the computer), but there are only 4 actual external physical
ports.

I don't know if maybe one of them (usb1) is 480 Mbps and the others are 12
Mbps, or maybe the 480 Mbps is either an internal port (with no physical port)
or maybe something like a bus speed for the combination of all 6 USB ports.

I will continue to experiment, but any suggestions are welcome.

PS: I am subscribed to the mail list under a slightly different email address
and will be able to view responses.



I bought a refurbished Dell E1505 in 2007.  It appears to have the same 
externals as your E1501.  It works well enough with Windows XP, Debian,

repairs -- Intel 64-bit processor (exceeds factory specifications), 2 @ 
1 GB memory modules (maximum supported), 60 GB SSD, Intel Wi-Fi adapter, 
replacement DVD-RW drive, replacement CPU fan, replacement batteries, 
etc..  It is my desktop daily driver.  I use a Core i7-2600S tower when 
I need more power.



If I bought that docking station, I would connect  VGA 1080p (187 MB/s 
at 30 fps), Gigabit Ehternet (100 MB/s), USB 2.0 keyboard (<1 MB/s), USB 
2.0 mouse (<1 MB/s), and audio (<1 MB/s).  The USB 2.0 ports on my E1505 
max out around 30 MB/s, which is asking for problems.  So, I would also 
need to buy an Express Card to USB 3.0 adapter (I would get the StarTech 
54mm dual port USB 3.0 for $41).



So, ~$110 for better wired network performance and the convenience of

If so, you have installed Debian, although it might be a very minimal
Debian. Can you ping anything (like "ping 8.8.8.8"? Ctrl-C to stop the ping
attempts.)? If so, we can probably pick up the pieces from here (try
"tasksel", and installing the X11 windowing system/Gnome/KDE/etc). If you
can't ping anything, your networking is still broken, and we'll need more
details.

Re: Falha no Boot - Positivo Mobo S7 (Programa UCA)

2020-03-22 Thread osvaldo luciano Santos
Olá pessoal!

Leandro, a Positivo não oferece nem mais informações sobre esse produto em
seu suporte. Logo, na minha situação, sem chances de arriscar uma
atualização de BIOS por outras referências. Mas, obrigado pela atenção!

"nandre@", as fontes e baterias são todas originais - e esse problema
acontece tanto com as máquinas em que as baterias não mantêm a carga quanto
nas que mantêm. Também não dá para visualizar a mensagem em tela porque na
etapa em que o boot pára fica apenas uma tela preta! Mas, é ótimo conhecer
este tipo de erro possível. Muito obrigado! Vou continuar a pesquisar e
mesmo não encontrando, basta ensinarmos as crianças a ultrapassarem este
simples obstáculo! Só não vai ficar "elegante"! rs. Mas, valerá a pena - só
em São Carlos são 1700 que foram comprados, no Brasil estima-se 225 mil
netbooks vendidos pela Positivo aos governos!

Abraços e seguimos na luta!
Osvaldo

Hello,

For the first time, I'm having problems installing Debian testing on new
hardware;

Asus TUF X570 Plus mobo with onboard Realtek network L8200A i/f

As things stand, it /seems/ that the boot process is waiting for the
network interface to come up, before proceeding to start the SDDM log in
manager.  Switching to tty2 and logging in would appear to bear this
out, as attempting to ping anything other than LAN machinery results in
'No route to host' reports.

The package firmware-realtek from testing has been installed.

The OS was installed using a net-install CD, so clearly, the network
card is working.  Having never previously encountered network i/f issues
myself, I'm really rather at a loss as to how I should proceed.


/etc/network/interfaces reads (comments & empty lines omitted);

source /etc/networks/interfaces.d/*
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


/etc/networks/interfaces.d/ is an empty directory.

For the sake of full disclosure, I see this;

[FAILED] Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon

during the boot process.  I suspect it has little bearing on the issue
I'm experiencing, but mention it 'just in case'.

My $SEARCH foo has turned up nothing recent, only stuff from 2002, 2009
or thereabouts.

IDK how to proceed.  Ideas and pointers (even moral support) sought and
welcomed.

Thank you.

Speed of USB ports on Inspiron 1501

2020-03-22 Thread rhkramer
Background:

I'm now thinking about buying a Wavlink USB 3.0 Display Universal Docking 
Station Dual Video HDMI/DVI/VGA, 
USB 3.0 & USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet Ports, Earphone & Mic in/out, Plug and 
Play For Windows Mac & Android 5.x Above - Black  

to use as a docking station for my Inspiron 1501 (because it is on sale today 
at Newegg).

https://www.newegg.com/black-wavlink-ug39dk1/p/1DN-0023-5?
reviews=all=9SIA6PF3RX9775_medium=Email_source=ShellShocker_mmc=EMC-

l4P01kz1G5-7m9VI_rid=1948861950_mid=4944=cmhrcmFtZXJAZ21haWwuY29t

It doesn't specifically say (in the specs) that it works with Linux, but one of 
the reviewers / commentors / customers mentions that he uses it with Linux 
(and, iiuc, that requires use of a DisplayLink driver).

My other concern is with the speed of the USB ports.

The description claims that it works with either a USB 3.0 or a USB 2.0 
connection to the laptop (the 1501's USB ports are 2.0).  I think that would 
work for me if the USB 2.0 port (or at least one of them) was the high speed 
version (480 Mbps) (vs. the "standard" USB 2.0 which seems to be 12 Mbps.

(I say this because I don't (and don't intend to play games on this machine, 
or view things like youtube videos which might require a high video 
bandwidth.)

getting to the question:

So, I'm trying to find the speed of the USB ports.  I've struck out on googling 
for the information online, so I started digging into trying to find the 
information in Linux.

I found some instructions online that suggest running the command:

rhk@s32:~$ cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb?/speed

And I see this:

480
12
12
12
12
12

I've also experimented with viewing other parameters in the /sys/bus/usb/
devices/usb?

Some of the results indicate that there are 6 USB "devices" (let me say, 
internal to the computer), but there are only 4 actual external physical 
ports.

I don't know if maybe one of them (usb1) is 480 Mbps and the others are 12 
Mbps, or maybe the 480 Mbps is either an internal port (with no physical port) 
or maybe something like a bus speed for the combination of all 6 USB ports.

I will continue to experiment, but any suggestions are welcome.

PS: I am subscribed to the mail list under a slightly different email address 
and will be able to view responses.

First follow Henning Follman's advice. Installing again will be good
practice for you. At the network mirroring portion look for

  deb.debian.org

This is best for you as a mirror.

No. The mirror is required in order to fully install the system if
using a netinstall medium, and later to upgrade it. It sounds as if
yours isn't fully installed. Once properly installed, it doesn't even
need a network connection to boot.

There are a number of reasons for boot to fail. Obviously one is if not
all the necessary software has been installed, but there are other
reasons. Has your recently installed system ever booted? It should have
done so at the end of the installation, having reminded you to remove
the installation disc/USB medium. If you never got to that point, then
the installation did not complete, and the way forward is to start the
installation again.

Don't worry much about choosing the mirror at the appropriate stage.
Any mirror will work (assuming you have unrestricted Internet access,
if you don't then you should probably not use the netinstall) it's just
that the geographically nearer mirrors are likely to respond a little
quicker. But a mirror on the other side of the planet should work.

If the system has booted at least once but does not now, that's a very
different scenario. What you need to do now is to post word-for-word the
messages you see when it dumps you to a terminal. In general, grub
has failed to find something it needs, perhaps part of the bootloader
code, perhaps a module, perhaps a complete filesystem. The error
messages will give *some* clues about this.

Debian France renouvelle ses instances

2020-03-22 Thread Jean-Philippe MENGUAL

Bonjour à tous,

L'assemblée générale annuelle de l'association Debian-France vient de se 
terminer. Pas de confinement ici, puisque tout se passe en ligne et peut 
donc continuer envers et contre tout. Pour rappel, Debian France est une 
association qui se propose de représenter Debian en France, voire en 
Europe puisqu'elle est la seule organisation de confiance (Trust 
Organization) active du projet Debian sur ce continent. Ce statut lui 
permet ainsi de recueillir des dons pour le projet Debian et de gérer le 
budget du projet qui lui incombe, en parallèle du sien.


L'assemblée générale a renouvelé le tiers de son conseil 
d'administration, actant ainsi l'entrée de Cyril Brulebois, un 
développeur Debian de longue date, au sein de son organe directeur. Le 
CA a reconduit le bureau de 2019, mais a élu un nouveau président: 
Jean-Philippe MENGUAL.


2019 avait marqué un véritable redécolage de Debian France: présence 
marquée aux FOSDEM, au Capitole du libre, à Paris, Lyon, organisation 
d'une minidebconf à Marseille, d'un meet-up à Bordeaux. Elle espère 
faire pareil en 2020, mais avec une claire volonté de mieux associer la 
communauté francophone des développeurs et des utilisateurs de Debian. 
Tout ce que fait l'asso doit avoir un "label" Debian clair, être partagé 
ici, et avec le projet dans son ensemble quand un budget est nécessaire 
ou pour les événements d'ampleur internationale (minidebcon). Dès 
février, Debian France a, via Debian, soutenu la tenue d'un sprint de 
l'équipe Ruby par exemple.


Donc l'asso espère mieux communiquer avec toute la communauté et 
s'articuler avec toutes ses composantes, comme debian-facile.


L'enjeu, outre une promotion plus marquée de Debian (Ubuntu étant moins 
présent), c'est aussi d'inspirer des gens qui, en entendant parler des 
actions, peuvent vouloir y contribuer. Ils sont les bienvenus! Tenir les 
stands, participer aux choix de goodies, adhérer à l'association, 
candidater au conseil d'administration pour 2021, autant de choses qui 
aideront à faire vivre l'asso et promouvoir le projet Debian. L'asso est 
"trusted organization", donc gère une partie du budget de Debian, elle 
doit donc être composée, au CA et au bureau, de développeurs Debian (pas 
exclusivement mais bon). Autant dire qu'avec moins de 100 développeurs 
vivant en France, toute bonne volonté est bienvenue! Et toute 
candidature à être développeur Debian est une bonne idée si vous vous en 
sentez capable et en avez envie.


Haut-les-coeurs donc, et merci à tous ceux qui suivent l'association et 
le projet! L'association remercie tous ses membres qui ont participé à 
l'assemblée générale et son bureau qui a géré cette année avec 
enthousiasme et dynamisme. Elle espère que cette année sera riche en 
synergies et partage, dans l'esprit du logiciel libre."


Amicalement,

So where do you think your installer should get any packages?

Follow the install procedures and do not just skip steps because
you do not understand it, especially if you do not understand!

Basically just hit  until really ask otherwise.

Debian 10 Installation Question

2020-03-22 Thread Jakub Kuzmicki

I recently installed Debian 10 on my Dell XPS 15 7590. I was able to get

My question is, what can I do to fix this issue? Am I not able to boot
Debian because network mirroring is not set up? I would probably need
instructions on exactly what to type to get this done if thats the case.

Because networking was failing after the install in any case, and there
was mention of lack of firmware driver rtl8168h-2.fw which is provided by
firmware-realtek.

dont even try and install any gui stuff. (networking should get setup even
with the most minimal setup.  Just do a very minimal install  test
networking (ping) then do a dist upgrade to testing and then installl X
stuff.

One thing, but if your networking was working during the install why did
you install firmware-realtek.  I would try removing that.  Linux keeps
networking stuff in so many different places now its difficult to know
where the setup files are kept.

I never venture out of stable nowadays so my advice may be outdated.

I'll keep it in mind, but a previous attempt at installing stable
wouldn't give a graphical login  - I found that my nVidia gfx card isn't
supported by stable's nvidia drivers.  To be fair, I didn't see any
network issues, but that might have been because I got dropped to a tty

Re: Boot process hangs at, it seems, network initialisation

2020-03-22 Thread Daniel Harris
I would probably try a minimal debian stable (providing it works on your
new hardware) install and if that works then do a dist upgrade to testing.

probably quicker than trying to debug your issue.

Good luck

Boot process hangs at, it seems, network initialisation

2020-03-22 Thread Brad Rogers
Hello,

For the first time, I'm having problems installing Debian testing on new
hardware;

Asus TUF X570 Plus mobo with onboard Realtek network L8200A i/f

As things stand, it /seems/ that the boot process is waiting for the
network interface to come up, before proceeding to start the SDDM log in
manager.  Switching to tty2 and logging in would appear to bear this
out, as attempting to ping anything other than LAN machinery results in
'No route to host' reports.

The package firmware-realtek from testing has been installed.

The OS was installed using a net-install CD, so clearly, the network
card is working.  Having never previously encountered network i/f issues
myself, I'm really rather at a loss as to how I should proceed.


/etc/network/interfaces reads (comments & empty lines omitted);

source /etc/networks/interfaces.d/*
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


/etc/networks/interfaces.d/ is an empty directory.

For the sake of full disclosure, I see this;

[FAILED] Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon

during the boot process.  I suspect it has little bearing on the issue
I'm experiencing, but mention it 'just in case'.

My $SEARCH foo has turned up nothing recent, only stuff from 2002, 2009
or thereabouts.

IDK how to proceed.  Ideas and pointers (even moral support) sought and
welcomed.

Thank you.
