Lists' postmasters were very helpful in pointing at errors in my setup when I had the problems with the list in the past. Mail them, ask for help.

Silently discarding spam was always OK. Replying to the spammer via list was not and is not.

Just to tackle this, for you or other interested people: Easiest way to find out which package contains xxx file, is to install apt-file. sudo apt install apt-file apt-file update (to update it's database) then you search for a file: ~$ apt-file search i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin firmware-misc-nonfree: /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin Other packages are firmware-atheros and firmware-realtek. Also, to check what non-free or contrib packages you have installed: sudo apt install vrms $ vrms Thanks Piotr, that was handy. Now that I realize these are not free software, I will not be installing them. Interestingly, running $ vrmstold me that while I don't have non-free, I do have a lone contrib package - torbrowser-launcher.

I believe this is the correct answer and answers all the previous questions you asked, except what to do about it. My approach is to have a hardcoded list of senders in my Exim configuration whose emails I will silently discard instead of rejecting during the SMTP conversation, if a reject decision is reached. It's not a great solution since rejecting during the SMTP conversation is the right thing to do in the general case, but Debian mailing lists are open and tend to receive quite a bit more spam than your average closed Mailman list.

Apparently OVH is possibly some kind of cloud thing.. and/or also a web domain registrar kind of deal.. or not. I took a quick peek at my insanely massive inbox. Found maybe 20 references. Seven references were sent by me to "s/pam" at UCE dot gov.. back in 2012. Ouch. OVH dot net appeared to be the "real" sender, the conduit, while something "dot fr" was also listed as the sender in the random email I viewed. A more recent email is "OVH dot it" this past March, 2021. The message is Italian, as confirmed by Google's translator. The email is advising that the recipient needs to immediately renew their expired website services. > My best guess is that someone is spamming debian-user, the messages are > being sent to everyone, my local MTA's spam filters are blocking them, > and the mailing list is getting mad at me for blocking the spam that it's > sending to me.

So the theory seems not plausible that your problem would be due to rejections of debian-user mails by your receiving mail server. I get warnings about such rejections from time to time.

If the bounce-rate passes the kick-score, our bounce-detection will forcibly remove your subscription. Bounces happen from time to time when spam slips through our filters but are rejected by your mail provider. If you are your own mail provider and use 'Before-Queue Content filtering', you should whitelist bendel.debian.org from Content filtering.

Most peculiar indeed. Does the interface always get the same address? Have you tried setting the IP with ifconfig -- after the box is up with the bad IP address?

You have been removed from the list (repeatedly)
In the last 24 hours, I've been dropped from this list at least 3 times. I am able to re-subscribe, but it's a real pain in the ass. It seems to happen after I post a message to the list while subscribed. In each case, I receive a message like the one I've quoted below. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to stop it, other than simply re-subscribing every time I post? What is this "vps268904.ovh.net", why is it sending messages with the subject "**stop**", why do no such messages appear in the web archive of debian-user, and why are these messages causing me to become unsubscribed? My best guess is that someone is spamming debian-user, the messages are being sent to everyone, my local MTA's spam filters are blocking them, and the mailing list is getting mad at me for blocking the spam that it's sending to me. This might not be the case, but it would explain why the messages aren't showing up in the web archive (they're removed because they're spam).

Most particularly, it does not show any information about routing. So that "gateway" line that you claim it shows... that didn't come from ifconfig, not even if you reformatted the hell out of it. That leaves us to guess what you actually did, what the actual output of ifconfig is, and why you're misleading us. Now, let's assume for the sake of argument that you actually ran several different commands, collated their output together in your head, and rewrote it into this format. Let's even assume that you did not make any typos during this entire procedure. This still leaves us with some questions. 1) What is the actual name of your network interface? The stanza in /etc/network/interface will only apply if the interface's name is enp0s1. If it's not, then something else (perhaps network-manager) will take over and configure the interface. The 192.168.0.163 address might have come from DHCP. A fallback configuration, like the one used by N-M, might be "run a DHCP client and see if that works". >Then, networking works i.e. I can reach Internet, but of course >not my desktop and other devices 192.168.1.xx 2) What is your full routing table? "ip route" under modern era tools, or "route -n" under the legacy tools. It's not clear to me how you have working Internet access if your default route is an address (192.168.1.1) that isn't on your subnet (192.168.0.0/24). At the very least, you would need a route that leads you to the 192.168.0 network. Perhaps you have one. But you didn't show it. Then, if for some reason you really *do* have a 192.168.0 address, and a route to the 192.168.1 network, and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1, and if all of this actually works, then... where did this routing table get configured? It's a mystery for sure. You might want to look for log files that indicate what's happening. They could be in /var/log/ or you might need to use journalctl. Meanwhile, use "ip addr" and "ip route" to see what your actual network configuration is. Don't reformat it. Don't omit pieces of it. Don't mash the two together.

First, let's see if you have the right interface. ip link show |grep enp0s1 if that doesn't show you a line of config, you are specifying the wrong interface. ip link show will show all of them to you. Second, let's see if something else is doing the configuration: grep -C1 ifupdown /etc/NetworkManager (you want this to show managed=false) ls /etc/systemd/network/ (you would like this to be empty) Let us know what you find out. -dsr-

Thanks for the detail.
The emphasis is on mobile devices. I wonder why they are singled out?
Interesting.
I would set a Username and Password and see how you go on printing and
scanning using CUPS and SANE and your iPhone.

Neither do I. Expecting explanations in a Guide is optimistic, but a
mentiom would not be out of place.
A single, unique Username/Password combination is all that is required.

Yes. Here's a summary. Note that I had DST_Root_CA_X3.crt as trusted in /etc/ssl/ until after it expired, and its expiry caused no problems with browsers, package downloads etc, but only this symptom. Since then, I have removed it from /etc/ca-certificates.conf using the ! mechanism, yet this symptom persists as shown here: ——✄—— # update-ca-certificates --fresh Clearing symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs... done.

So I thought I would investigate a little further by running apt-listbugs under strace -f. Note that though the apt-cacher-ng service is running on the same machine, that service is AIUI not being traced and so is opaque. 99% of the traces (without/with proxy) look the same, until you pass the three lstat references to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/http/cookie_jar/hash_store.rb whereupon they diverge. Without proxy: after 47 lines of faffing about, it reads /etc/hosts, does some DNS, and appears to communicate with the University of Oregon, which would seem reasonable. With proxy: after 222 lines of, I assume, chatting to the proxy, it opens /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/httpclient/cacert.pem and this contains a list of actual certificates, amongst which, wouldn't you know, is DST Root CA X3. So the problem lies in ruby, specifically the package ruby-httpclient, version 2.8.3-2. This might explain why "random" applications fail while other ones don't. I verified the above by editing out the DST Root CA X3 certificate from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/httpclient/cacert.pem and restarting apt-cacher-ng.service, whereupon: ——✄—— $ apt-listbugs list base-files Retrieving bug reports... 0% Fail Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message: E: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate) It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers, or the BTS server itself is down.

I had to "import" this certificate by the browser's GUI. Iceweasel does not suffer from the bug that lets the outdated DST_Root_CA_X3 spoil the certification handshake. - Debian 10 wget as of juli 2020 had the ISRG_Root_X1 certificate but also the bug, which came out of its egg on september 30, 2021, 14:01:15 GMT. dist-upgrade to october 2021 obviously fixed the bug. Now the old DST_Root_CA_X3 still exists but does not spoil wget any more. - Debian 8 wget has the bug and lacked the ISRG_Root_X1 certificate. So it needed that certificate file from Debian 10 in /etc/ssl/certs.

I did get some sound going, fired up kmix and found that the one slider was turned all the way down for some reason.

I guess I'll have to pay attention to the release notes on that stuff... There's just one other issue I'm not sure of the best way to deal with it. Some time back the monitor that I was using died, and when I replaced it with one of a similar size, the new one had a higher resolution. Which was not a problem as long as the software was feeding it a lower resolution. But apparently somewhere in the upgrade process it decided to change this, and as a result a lot of stuff got *tiny*. I was able to change font sizes in a number of places, and icon sizes in my taskbar, but not in the one in virtualbox, and this old kmail that I'm running (by preference) is only giving me the choice of changing it in some places. The composter not being one of them. Unread msgs being another one. My recollection of other software was that you could, say, right-click on the desktop and get a choice of changing your screen resolution to something else. I'm not seeing that here. I'm sure that there's someplace to fiddle with that setting, I just haven't found it yet. -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.

mic issues after upgrade to Debian 11
My mic used to work fine under Debian 9 and 10, but after upgrading to 11, people tell me that the audio coming out of my mic is really scratchy and bad to the point where if I do a video call, I'd have to use the phone for the audio part. Not sure where to even start with this... Is there an easy way (is it possible) to revert to the previous driver, somehow, the one that was there in Debian 10? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.Luben

You've said in other messages in the thread that you don't want to use contrib or non-free firmware but I do not think you will succeed. Andy, I don't know if the output I sent is telling you that, but if it is, it is not true - my wifi video and ethernet have been working fine and still do. And I had the wifi card replace with one from thinkpenguin that supports free software. Tho our computer guy had to do some extra tweaking since the Dell (bios?) wasn't wanting it. Your Ethernet card may not actually need the Realtek driver but may work slightly better if itt is available. Debian puts firmware in non-free because very often we don't have source code for it. Most often, we can distribute it but cannot modify it. For one or two packages, the script extracts the firmware from another form. The firmware is received form people like Intel or Realtek - it's packaged by Debian developers but it's in non-free (which is separate from Debian) because of the issues of maintenance. If it was fully free - it would be in Debian main. In your case: I would add the contrib and non-free parts to the /etc/apt/sources.list as suggested. I do not want to do that - I started using Debian exclusively almost 2 years ago to avoid proprietary OS and software, so I will do my best to continue with only free software. Until the inconvenience becomes insurmountable (at which point I might move to a typewriter or a papirus!)

The modification dates on your files would probably enable you to determine when your system changes over. And I would move ~/.kde to, say, ~/keep-old.kde rather than deleting it. You might want to consult it. (I assume you're not inconvenienced by its size.) Cheers, David.

Unless Luben > changed his stance on non-free software when upgrading? Things change. The kernel changes. Drivers change. Sometimes an older kernel does better than a newer kernel, in the absence of proper firmware. Sometimes it doesn't. Stop worrying about it. Install the firmware.

"Andrew M.A. Cater" writes: > In your case: I would add the contrib and non-free parts to the > /etc/apt/sources.list as suggested. But these firmware packages were in non-free also in Debian 10 so just upgrading to Debian 11 shouldn't have changed anything. Unless Luben changed his stance on non-free software when upgrading? It would be interesting to know for sure. The official upgrade procedure from Debian release notes advices the user to save a list of installed packages before upgrading. That could provide some information on whether these firmware packages were actually installed before the upgrade or not? Other than that, I think Luben might have to provide a little more information about the issues he's having.
Plasma config change?
Hi folks, somehow I missed something and was surprised today. Does anyone know, when plasma (kde) did change the position of its configuration files from ~/.kde to ~/.config? And according to this, is ~/.kde still needed or can it be safely fully deleted? Thanks for reading and any answers. Best Hans
