This is not the first time this has happened although previously
when it started getting sluggish I killed all Firefox related
process

System logs show the start of the event.

When the system starts to become sluggish, have you looked at the

Previously I have seen the Isolated Web Co processes maxing CPU and 
the CPU fans starting to roar. Nothing unusual in content at the

time and if I kill all ESR related processes it quiets down and I
can resume the closed windows and tabs at much reduced CPU

It's obvious the main culprit is Firefox-ESR and the Isolated Web Co
 processes. What triggers it other than elapsed time I have no idea

I tried running a Debian desktop without swap and encountered the same 
symptom -- crashed desktop and return to login screen.  The solution was 
two-fold:


1.  Provision 1 GB of swap.

2.  Add Xfce panel widgets so that I can see what is going on.


Between the two, I usually have enough time to kill problem apps before 
a crash.



And, more memory would not hurt.

What do you consider to be "up there"? 4.3% (your highest CPU usage in
this output) hardly seems to qualify as something to be concerned
about. nvidia-modeset is consuming a whopping 0.7% CPU.

I assume these numbers are while the system is operating normally and
not when it starts to struggle. Why do you think heavy CPU load would
cause the OOM killer to activate? Some precesses just don't appreciate
having no swap available.

Hi,

The first thing I would do before any other is to enable swap and see what 
benefits that brings.

I have no production laptop or desktop (laptop with 32G being daily driver with 
NVME (root) and an
SSD (home) drive inside) that does not have swap. I have 8G of swap on my 
laptop and it does get
used by the system, but only in low amounts.

Others may have other strategies here, but this is where I would start.

Regards

Phil

What type of content is generally being viewed/used in firefox?



A lot of video and otherwise news and search and GPT4


When the system starts to become sluggish, have you looked at the 
firefox 'Task Manager' under tools to see if anything stands out?



Previously I have seen the Isolated Web Co processes maxing CPU and the 
CPU fans starting to roar. Nothing unusual in content at the time and if 
I kill all ESR related processes it quiets down and I can resume the 
closed windows and tabs at much reduced CPU


It's obvious the main culprit is Firefox-ESR and the Isolated Web Co 
processes. What triggers it other than elapsed time I have no idea




Re: Alpine/Gmail/Imap expert needed.

The following link is unlikely helpful to the topic starter, so I 
decided to postpone this message. It may be informative for other alpine 
(or mutt) users however. There is a way to authenticate to gmail or a 
similar service without an application password. It is supported by 
Alpine. It requires opening a link in a browser and copy-paste of the 
obtained token back.


https://alpineapp.email/alpine/alpine-info/misc/xoauth2.html
"Authenticating using XOAUTH2 in IMAP and SMTP"

Perhaps the procedure might be made a bit more convenient with a 
dedicated web site or a browser extension, but a couple of obstacles may 
arise: user trust and terms of service limiting redirection URI.

Google allows you to use "backup codes" as a two-factor authentication

recall, you need to receive a text message or use an authenticator app
at least once, to turn on two-factor authentication in the first place.
You only get so many backup codes and they only work once each.  After
that, you can still sign in to generate more, but only through the web,
so would need to be able to receive a text message or use an
authenticator app if/when you run out of codes.

Screenshot or write down and/or copy to clipboard the code shown


I am unsure if the hassle with recovery codes is really necessary. 
Having a secret obtained with authentication application flow, it is 
possible to generate time-based codes. TOTP is documented and has enough 
implementations. E.g. KeePassXC password manager supports it. Most of 
services allows to get the secret as text, it can be obtained from the 
link encoded as a QR code.


In my notes I have the following snippet for python:

import onetimepass as otp
my_token = otp.get_totp(my_secret)

Certainly doing it in a secure way requires more efforts, but a 2FA 
helper may be adjusted for special needs.

You're out of memory, the system started killing processes to keep
itself alive. It tends not be particularly "smart" about what to kill.



Isolated Web Co Session crash Firefox-ESR

2023-12-02 Thread jeremy ardley
I noticed my Firefox -esr browser becoming progressively more sluggish. 
Then suddenly I was back to the system login screen


This is not the first time this has happened although previously when it 
started getting sluggish I killed all Firefox related process


System logs show the start of the event.

Well, I initially suggested "apt install ./myfile.deb" because I
thought the goal was to install a .deb file and its dependencies.

Then it was mentioned that the procedure would need to be repeated on
a non-networked computer, so I changed it to "apt-get install ./myfile.deb"
which would leave the dependencies in /v/c/a/a so they could be copied
to the non-networked computer along with the initial .deb file.

After that, it was revealed that the whole project is based on some
paranoid fantasy.  The non-networked computer is non-networked only
because the OP believes that "they" (that's literally the word which
was used) are using "AI" to watch the OP "24/7".  This makes me less
inclined to take the project seriously.

Even with that revelation, however, I still feel the most obvious
way to proceed would be to have a networked computer which "mirrors"
the non-networked one.  When you need to install something on the
non-networked computer, you first do it on the networked one, then copy
everything over to the non-networked one.

It doesn't have to be a whole computer.  It could be a VM, or just a
simple chroot directory.

Not with the -d option. I think Greg may have suggested apt-get
because apt autocleans as a side effect, but that can be prevented
with a configuration option, IIRC it's APT::FtpArchive::Clean.

Would it not be more straightforward to download APT's lists, and copy
them to the unconnected machine. # apt-get update   will bitch and
moan about Release files, but still recreate the .bin caches, and
$ apt-get -s -d install foo   will list all the missing dependencies
(± --no-install-recommends to taste) in one fell swoop.

I'm guessing your last example is Curt's. The only occurrence of
the From: address in the entire email is in the From: line.
That's no different from my own post, except for the lines at the
very top, which show my post being delivered to me.

I had thought the server was using the envelope-from in order to
identify subscribers, yet Curt's posts, like mine, have different
envelope-from and From: addresses, which is presumably the reason
behind HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS.

Have you looked at the Debian wiki write-up?
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

There are also free drivers for Nvidia cards. Others will know more
about them than I do.

If you have more question, it will help us if you identify your card
exactly. To do this, open a terminal window (I gather from what you
said that you have some graphics capability, but not all you want), and
copy and paste the following command, and run it.

lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"

Then copy and paste the results from the first prompt to the trailing
prompt into your email. E.g.:

charles@jhegaala:~$ lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core

Hi Tom,

Are your labels "laser" labels?

I would not put anything through a laser printer unless it is 
specifically rated for laser printers.  Applying fixative to printer 
labels before printing sounds like a good way to damage your equipment. 
If anything, apply the fixative after printing.

Before posting the above I had reported the problem to Debian
listmasters, and they asked me to let them know if it kept
happening. It wasn't clear to me however if that meant they had
taken any action. It doesn't seem to be happening any more to me but

Yeah, that NDR is from ewetel.de for one of their own users, not for
the mailing list. It is broken for it to send such an NDR to the
poster. It should have gone to Debian's mailing list software, so
that the rejection could have been automatically handled.

It doesn't seem to be happening any more so perhaps it was, or the

Brother has all those features, plus BRScript/3 and ethernet. I
buy them for work where they tend to last about 8-10 years of high-volume work.

Extra paper trays are expensive, but often compatible across 2

Yes, I've investigated that a bit. I had the same trouble with my
labels at a local UPS
store. The owner insisted his printers are in top shape. As I said,
these are fresh labels
and I don't have any trouble with printing on normal paper. I'll try a
fixative for now.

If I do need a new printer, I want another B laser, double
sided-printing, copying,
and scanning. Multiple paper trays for two sizes of paper would be nice.
I have had great luck with HP over the years, but  I'm open to suggestions.

IIRC the memtest86+ Debian package comes with .iso files which you can
(manually) put into /boot/images/ and which boot in a slightly different
way than the image files installed there by default, so you could try
that as ell.
Also upstream has a slightly more recent release.

Getting UEFI to boot Debian (was: Hardware Advice Wanted: Router)

Setting it up might take some work (especially if you need it to have
direct access to some of your hardware) but running it inside a VM
might save you a fair bit of trouble in the long run.

AFAIK the current memtest86+ (not to be confused with memtest86, which
is proprietary) claims to work fine on UEFI.
IIUC the one in oldstable doesn't OTOH.

CNC machines don't need accurate time.  They need precise internal
synchronization but that isn't related to the system clocks.  The
default NTP configuration in most Linux distributions will take care of
the system clocks if they have access to the Internet.  If not run an
NTP server on one machine.

That means that the remote system closed it.
Check the syslog/journalctl and check how telnet is implemented.

Hi,

I had a play with one of my ffmpeg video conversion scripts.

For the most compatible MP4 to deliver to your website visitors, I would use 
the 'main' profile with
ffmpeg. As an extra, I looked at restricting the 'bitrate' and also using the 
'veryslow' preset to
try for better compression.

The bash script attached I think gives wide compatibility and good end file 
size - around 10.6MB. I
hope this is of help to you in its current form of if you wished to make 
changes to it for your
needs.

Regards

Phil

That requires you to be online, aka "exposed mode". The OP only
exposes a live USB to the outside world, not their "real" system.

I dimly recollect something called apt-move, but I never needed
to use it. Back in the days of dial-up, when I had a real job,
I would upgrade my desk's tower, copy the (uncleaned) archives/
directory onto a Zip drive, take it home and install the .debs
onto my home desktop, configured identically, with dpkg.

In that case, use apt-get instead of apt.  That way the downloaded .deb
files will not be removed afterward.  Then you can just sweep 'em up
from /var/cache/apt/archives, copy them to a stack of floppies, put
the floppies in a box, tie the box to a trained ferret, send the ferret
across town


apt-get has the side effect of installing the packages on the connected 
system. There used to be "apt-zip" (no longer in Debian), which was 
built around the idea of using ZIP disks for transferring files. 
"apt-zip-list" would use the state of packages on the disconnected 
system to product a "want list" of files to be downloaded. This "want 
list" would be a shell script consisting of various wget or curl 
commands. The script would be taken over to the connected system and 
run, to pull the required packages onto a high-capacity removable medium 
(such as a USB drive or ZIP drive). Back at the disconnected system, 
"apt-zip-inst" would complete the process, installing the files from the 
removable medium.


The nice thing about "apt-zip" was that it took the guesswork out of the 
equation. The files required were the ones that the target system 
required, no more no less. Also, the connected system didn't have to be 
debian; there was an option to write the script in a DOS-compatible 
manner, so you could run it on Windows, for example.


I don't know if there's a direct replacement for apt-zip nowadays.



If the OP doesn't have a same-release, same-architecture connected
system to use for this purpose, then I don't have an answer.  I don't
deal with this stone-age crap any longer, and I am unable to express
how *happy* I am that this is the case.
There are still use cases for fully disconnected systems these days. The 
most common one might be an offline Certificate Authority (best practice 
says that the host holding your certificate authority certificate should 
NEVER have network access, to prevent any possibility of compromise), 
but some security professionals prescribe "air-gap" security for other 
systems (think of the Iranian Uranium Enrichment system that Stuxnet 
compromised). For these sorts of systems, you're stuck with using 
something like apt-zip, or else just downloading the point-release ISOs 
and burning them.

1. I believe that it is wrong to post the whole of a reply as you have, 
immediate before the signature of the person to whose message, you are 
replying, as it makes it too easy for people to misconstrue, for 
example, in the above case, that what you posted, was posted by me.


2. "I would expect Firefox to offer to download the file or choose a

party application, such as a viewer of video files, for dealing with 
particular file types/extensions.


3. "I would expect Firefox to offer to download the file or choose a

Good morning!
I began since top of your advices i.e.
https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster#Changes and reading: "The su command in
buster is provided by the util-linux source package, instead of the shadow
source package, and no longer alters the PATH variable by default. This
means that after doing su, your PATH may not contain directories like
/sbin, and many system administration commands will fail. There are several
workarounds:
Use su - instead; this launches a login shell, which forces PATH to be
changed, but also changes everything else including the working directory."
It was tried and at once into point!,

My guest is that a 169.254.x.y address allows to connect from other 
hosts that belongs to the same network segment, but the router discards 
outgoing packets instead of applying masquerading rules. Or the host 
does not send non-local packets because it does not know a router and no

Having IPv4LL addresses, it is possible to connect to other hosts 
withing the same subnet using multicast mDNS (name.local) or LLMNR name 
resolution.


Actually having a spare ethernet port or a WiFi card that supports hot 
spot mode, it is possible to create a subnet for this 3d printer. 
NetworkManager allows to create a "shared" connection with a few clicks. 
It launches dnsmasq as DNS and DHCP server. The only downside is NAT, so 
ssh to the printer will require to connect the host sharing network. 
However it will solve the NTP issue.

If machines and printers expect DHCP, then you're going to have to
amend files. Do back up the files you change.

1. There is nothing in Debian that ever overwrites the
    /etc/network/interfaces file. But you aren't running Debian on
    this machine, so we are all having difficulty helping you.
    Because this is DEBIAN-user.


I'm well aware of that Andy, but TBH, this list may be the deepest pool 
of knowledgeable people on the planet, most of my machines are running 
debian. Those that are running buster have been stuck as the switch to 
python 3 with bullseye broke linuxcnc.  Thats now been fixed and has 
been for a while but I've had my own projects that took priority.  There 
will not be any spinning rust here when I do update to bookworm or trixie.



As ever, our collective expertise here is primarily Debian - we have no
clue what a derived distribution may or may not do.


There is also an overtone of NIH here. These programs are tools and one 
does his (or her) best thinking well outside the box at times.



2. All you've described is a line in a file which says, "Network is
    managed by NetworkManager". There is NO indication WHICH piece of
    software put that line there, it really could be anything.
    Because you aren't running Debian. Since NetworkManager can be
    set up to run arbitrary commands, it certainly COULD be YOUR
    setup of NetworkManager. Or something else entirely different.
    It's nothing in Debian, though.


Then you are incompatible with software you are trying to run. Your
options:
- do not allow scripts coming with klipper or its installer to touch
network configuration


They never have, they just use it. And I've used up my patience in 
explaining that and being mostly ignored.



- setup a DHCP server in your network and provide to 3d wizards
environment they expect.



"Su and say" is not great: running third party scripts on non-Debian 
systems
and you get to keep both pieces unless you undersand what kiauh and 
Klipper

are doing, be careful.


Again, Max, its your way or the hiway. I'd be willing to guess that my
network experience goes back at least a decade before your first 
class in cs
101. /etc/hosts files worked in 1990 then as now, we just have to 
get the
dhcp crap out of the way.  And you and your insistence on using dhcp 
which

has never given me a stable address are definitely NOT helping.


This like some sort of farce.

You have an operating system hard-coded to use DHCP, but you won't
use DHCP, so it doesn't work. You can't work out how to make it not
want DHCP; you won't ask the people who made it how; instead you ask
us completely uninvolved folks how to do it. When we tell you to
configure it for static networking you say you can't because it
wants DHCP. When we say use DHCP then, you say, "oh I see it's your
way or the hiway, I'll have you know I was crafting IP packets from
raw bean sprouts before you kids ever drew breath!"

So would I be correct in saying that you want US to work out how to
do this thing in software we don't use and that's off-topic here,
and that's the only answer you'll accept?

Or have I misunderstood and there is some other direction you would
like to go with this?

Thanks,
Andy



It does seem to be a problem on this list that we can't always get
clear explanations of what has *actually* been done.

That list of machines is long Andy, and possibly boring.

1. The 2nd machine I converted, affectionately known as tlm.coyote.den, 
( The Little Monster ), a 7x12 lathe running buster with a real time 
kernel and linuxcnc, all uptdate. uname -a=

Linux TLM 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running on an off-lease Dell Optiplex computer.

2. A 4 axis mill sold by grizzly as the G0704 running on another 
off-lease Dell, named go704, using an uptodate buster, uname -a=
Linux GO704 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2 
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

also using linuxcnc.

3. Another 4 axis gantry style mill sold as the 6040, also running 
buster with a rt kernel and linuxcnc on another off-lease Dell. uname -a=
Linux sixty40 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2 
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux


4. Another lathe, a bigger Sheldon from the mid WW-II time, running on a 
raspberry pi 4b, bookworm, uname -a=

Hi,

The problem here seems to stem from the video being 'Simple Profile' for MP4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_2

Some further testing maybe in order and an issue submitting if this is 
widespread.

Regards

Phil

The same video is available as avi, and that works fine with Firefox by
launching an external viewer such as vlc or dragon. I would expect
Firefox to offer to download the file or choose a viewer instead of the
sad-face window.

Hello Andy,
I have received one mail like that when posting to the l10 list.
The mail appeared in the list in spite of that message. With further
mails everything has been back to normal.
