My hunch currently is that nothing at all gets really written to
the disk, either failing silently or the OP not seeing the failures.

I wouldn't bet my farm on it (first of all because I have no
farm), but this would be the first I'd check. For example, by
looking around after the installer thinks it's done and *before*
the final reboot. What is mounted? Which devices are there?
Which partitions? What's in there?

Alternatively, boot the install/live medium in rescue mode and
try to find/mount the partitions where the fresh installation
is supposed to have landed.

If everything is there, my hunch was wrong and the primary suspect
seems to become Grub. Some BIOSes are rumoured to play games here.

I never used Tk with Perl, but first, you do not need tkpng for png
images anymore, pngs have been supported natively by Tk for years. Maybe
tkpng is broken (as at least some versions of img::png that came with
debian have been)?
Second, Tk does not support jpegs without third-party
extensions; probably img::jpeg can help, so you could try to 
install libtk-img with apt and then do the Perl equivalent of

   package require img::jpeg

Have a nice day,

Sorry, are you suggesting using versions different to that which came
with the version you already have? Why would you even think of doing
that?

If you think the version of Tk you already have isn't working then
replace the whole thing, not just bits of it. But I'd think that was
premature myself.

images in Perl/Tk

[mick.crane]

I try to load images with Perl/Tk but there is message,
"couldn't recognize data in image file "test.jpeg" at 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.38/Tk/Image.pm line 21"

I've tried different images/pngs/jpgs with same error.
images load OK in other viewers.
Installed tkpng with apt.

Anybody successfully used images with Perl/Tk?
Would Tk::JPEG/Tk::PNG from cpan be happy with the Debian Tk and may 
possibly help recognise the file format?
Or is there some 'pruning' of the images, made with Gimp, needed to work 
with Tk?

I think the OP even said that. But by all appearances, the installer
(silently?) fails to write the boot loader to the disk (and possibly
to write to the disk at all, not sure about that).

@Thomas: can you check whether anything was written to the disk?
You could try to list its partition table and even mount (some of)
its partitions, if any, from your live system. Anything in there?

I think OP is actually booting the live media they installed from

I don't know why their bootloader ends up misconfigured.

Given that this is a live media, is it possible that by leaving the
disc in, the OP is in fact booting the live environment not the one
they installed? This might explain no users and "wrong" locale.

I've never used Debian live media so I am just guessing.

I think it may have installed but something is wrong with the
bootloader setup.

Did the password you typed include any non-ASCII characters? Same question
for non -en_US characters?
And: Are you using a German-language keyboard? Or a "standard" US-style?

Hyphen seems to be fine, at least according to the useradd(8) man page.
It has even a paragraph referencing Debian, mentioning the restriction
that the hyphen not be at the beginning of the name. But who knows. Perhaps
something else breaks.

En als je Network-Destroyer stopt en gewoon aan de cli kijkt wat er

ip link set eth0 up

Daarna:

dhclient eth0

Of

ip a a a.b.c.d/nm dev eth0
ip r a default via a.b.c.1
En /etc/resolv.conf even editten

Ik heb trouwens een laptop (staat nu 1000km verderop) en die heeft een

This doesn't explain the users not being set up.
Debian can be installed without GRUB (especially useful on BIOS systems
when a boot manager from another OS already exists).

Can you go to the other virtual consoles to investigate the situation?
Maybe there is an error message.

Thought it too, but it is not. The user isn't created even if i just

But without success: same problem. The user account is not created.



Anyway, try logging in as "dede" or "de_de", just to see if one of those
works.  Otherwise, you'll need to boot in rescue mode (or any equivalent
of your choice), and look at the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.

It is even more wired: if the installed system is rebooted from install 
media -- after finishing installation the system does boot, but is not 
accessible. In lack of any useable user account created.


If i then remove installation media and reboot, the system just does not 
find anything to boot into: the bootloader is not installed at all! Grub 
is missing!


The after-install-reboot is triggered without going the whole way: they 
"boot" by loading the kernel from the running install system kernel 
using kexec. This is faster and avoids rebooting into the install system 
again, but it wont work if the boot system is just about to be missing, 
because neither grub nor systemd.boot are installed.

5. Select "German"
6. For User and Passwort enter
Full name: demo Demo
Username: de-de
Password 1st: start123
Password 2nd: start123
7. Click install
8. Wait until the installer finishes and reboots into this newly installed
system
9. Try to login with the credentials given above:
User: de-de
Password: start123

The newly installed system just tells: unknown user or password, user or
password wrong. You wont be able to login.
Having a closer look at the system installed:
- The system language ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE.
- The keyboard language and layout ist set to en_US, instead, as selected
to de_DE.
- The user given isn't created at all.
- The password isn't entered into /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.
- Root is created, but does not have a password, while passwordless logins
are prohibited

Conclusion: it is not possible to login to the system. Youl have to hack it
to get access.

Ethernet werkt niet

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hallo,

Ik heb iemand een computer verkocht met een nogal standaard Debian 
installatie, voor zover ik weet functioneerde het hier prima. Echter bij 
de klant werkt ethernet niet. Er is ook wifi aanwezig, dat werkt wel.


Ik heb wel een keer een verbinding gezien via ethernet, maar 
NetworkManager bleef "draaien".


Een laptop werkt wel bedraad aan dezelfde kabel, aan dezelfde switch, 
achter dezelfde router.  De switch is al een keer gereset, de router 
(een Fritzbox) nog niet, want hij wordt druk gebruikt. Als het even 
rustiger is wordt hij opnieuw opgestart.


Naast networkmanager heb ik ook een verbinding via 
/etc/network/interfaces geprobeerd, maar daar ook geen succes. Wat ik 
zie is een boel DHCPDISCOVER maar geen lease. Het lijkt alsof hij geen 
antwoord krijg via DHCP.


Er zijn bij deze klant vaker problemen geweest met het bekabelde 
netwerk, het vermoeden was dat er een kabel niet helemaal goed was. Maar 
deze is niet gemakkelijk te vervangen. We hebben op een gegeven moment 
wel de switch vervangen, en sindsdien lijkt het beter te gaan.


Op wat voor manier kun je een link controleren voordat er een IP is 
uitgedeeld?  Het is overigens gewoon een Intel netwerkchip.


Er is geen beveiliging op MAC adres in de router volgens de klant (moet 
ik misschien nog controleren).


Hebben jullie verder nog tips?  Ik weet het even niet meer.

Groet,
Paul

Re: Servidor sofrendo algum tipo de syn ataque.

[Helio Loureiro]

Humm... tem algo bem estranho aí.

tcp6?   Deveria estar sobre IPv6.  E aí está mostrando IPv4.

Você roda algum tipo de NAT de IPv6 pra IPv4?  Pode ser algum problema aí.

Você pode tentar mitigar diminuindo os tempos de timeout pra TCP usando
sysctl.  Acho que é só mudar "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv"
pra algum valor mais baixo.  Talvez 3s.

Re: Bluetooth sound problems Debian 12 GNOME

[Jan Krapivin]

Good news. Looks like I have solved the problem. As a last resort I have
bought another one wi-fi receiver, third one. It has *Realtek RTL8763BW*
chip

and *two antennas*. And finally all works fine. I have spent some hours,
using Bluetooth headphones, waiting for problems, but they hadn’t occur.
Small problem is that LTS Kernel 6.1 doesn’t support this device, so I have
used Liquorix kernel, which I have installed earlier. Though, I don’t need
this kernel, as it haven’t helped me with sound interrupts, which was my
hope at first. So… I bought more old Wi-fi receiver with *Realtek
RTL8761BUV* chip with antenna and it also works fine, and also works with
stable 6.1 kernel.

I am glad that situation found its resolution, though it is strange for me
that USB-dongle Bluetooth receiver (I don’t know the exact model) and
receiver on an internal wi-fi adapter (AX 210) have worked so poorly both.
Though I was in the distance not more than 2 meters from receiver.

Thanks for help

Re: Disparition de sensord

Bonsoir à tous,

je viens de m'apercevoir que sensord n'est plus disponible dans les
dépôts. C'était une chose très pratique qui balançait dans syslog les
sorties de sensors lorsqu'il y avait une alarme de température. Par quoi
est-ce que cela a été remplacé, je ne trouve rien...



Oui, il y a un rapport de bug sans réponse sur le github de lm-sensors :

https://github.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors/issues/366

Le programme fait toujours partie des sources, mais il n'y a plus 
d'activité depuis trois ans :

Um, ifup takes -a to bring all interfaces marked auto up. So that's the
obvious command to try and if it doesn't work then it's time to get down
into the details with error messages and what's in the config and all
that.
