Re: What is *.cpp.d, and why is it breaking my compilations?
Just a few observations: 1) Both ninja and Unix Makefiles works if I use cmake on the command-line 2) Kdevelop successfully compiles the project if I use Unix Makefiles for cmake in stead of Ninja. So the problem seems related with Ninja. However, it would still be interesting to understand why it is failing.

Re: Recommendation: Backup system
I have moved from simple scripts to simple scripts with zbackup in them :)
Then I rsync the zbackup directories from different machines to my
central backup disks (and distribute from there to cloud storage and

zbackup supports deduplication and encryption, and is really a nice

Re: Using serial console as a poor mans IP kvm?

Using serial console as a poor mans IP kvm?
I want to set up a few servers at home. Unfortunately, as I live in Bulgaria at the moment, the electric power is gone pretty often for longer periods than my UPS'es can deal with. So my servers will have to be started at least a few times every quarter. Another challenge with living in Bulgaria is that there is no law or order. The Police is just a branch of the Mafia. I need to protect the data on the servers with full disk encryption in case they are stolen. That means that I need to reboot the servers relatively often, and provide the luks passwords every time. Some times I am far away when this happens. I have been considering Supermicro motherboards with built in support for remote management - or old KVM IP switches from Ebay. The problem with Supermicro is that it's expensive and difficult to get the RAM required for their recent Skylake boards. The problem with Ebay is that few suppliers ships to Bulgaria, and getting anything trough the custom's here takes a whole day. Then there is the question if the device works at all... So I'm thinking about serial consoles. My gateway router will reboot after an outage, and it can act as a VPN endpoint. So I can access IP devices. With a rasberry pi and some relays, I can probably trigger a cold reboot whenever I need to. If I could log on to the grub console on the servers over a serial link, that's all I need, really. Does anyone here have any experience with remote control with Debian boxes over serial? Will it work reliable? Thanks in advance. Jarle

In such case it is best to use analog equipment or PC in closed network. You still have choice(s). regards Many years ago, when I was CTO (function, not title) at a small company, the developers had two PC's, one connected to the Internet, and one connected only to an internal development network. Binaries was burned to CD and then given to customers, or copied to our web servers. Eventually it became too hard to keep the development on a closed system. More and more of the development tools expected an Internet connection. At that time we made most of the revenue making software that ran on Windows. Today I miss the feeling of security I had back then. It would be very, very hard for an adversary to penetrate the closed network and compromise the software we delivered. I assume that a determined adversary can penetrate my current defenses relatively easy. There are so many layers of potential vulnerable firmware and software between the network plug and my file systems and system memory that any other assumptions would be rather naive. Still, I try to defend my code, my privacy and my intellectual property as good as I can. Not running java-script outside disposable virtual machines is one line of defense. Not running alien shell scripts or drivers from untrusted sources is another. It does not make my system safe - but it makes it less likely at least to be penetrated by the most clueless script-kiddies or automated bots. And frankly, it makes no sense to me that printers require special drivers in order to work. The transport protocols are standardized. The page description protocols are standardized (or at least well known). Using proprietary transport or page description protocols seems just like a waste of development resources and support resources. It's very hard to make good, optimal implementations of anything slightly complex (it's just weeks ago another dns bug was found in glibc!). Therefore it should be best for everyone to refine common code to do such things as safe and efficient as possible. Not reinventing wheels and doing the same stupid mistakes over and over again. I really don't understand what the printer industry (this is not only a problem with Brother) is doing. May be it boils down to something as simple as the egos at incompetent product managers. Jarle

Tried to boot my laptop from a cafe...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Normally I use my laptop as a workstation, with wired Internet and a 1 T extra disk in the cd-tray. Today I tried to boot it in a cafe, off-line and without the extra disk. It was not possible. Systemd would just wait indefinitely for some start-up jobs (it was waiting for the missing disk to come on-line among some other things). Fortunately, I had the extra disk with me, so I attached it and tried again. Still for no use. Systemd now waited for the network interfaces. So I had to actually connect an ethernet cable to a router just to get the crap to boot, and then unplug it and walk back to my table. How did this happen? How come Debian is now /more/ useless than Windows? It can't even boot if the hardware configuration is not exactly the way it assumes. WTF!

Re: Minimal configuration for a laptop
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Alex, If you look for an older laptop, Lenovo ThinkPad may be a good choise. The 12 models are relatively portable, and the build quality is fabulous. I've had my old X60T for about 9 years now, and it's still in daily use. I have changed the disk a few times, the fan once and the battery twice. Unfortunately, Lenovo does not support Linux as an option for the ThinkPad series. But all models I have came across works well with Debian and other distributions.

One way could be to configure a template machine that you clone from. This machine will probably use with dhcp, and a firstboot script that is run only on the first boot for each cloned machine. This script could regenerate the ssh key for the ssh server, and poll additional scripts from another server that sets the hostname and a static IP address.

No matter what I did (I tried 5 - 6 fresh installs on two disks, and a few boots into rescue mode to try to execute grub-install or update-grub manually), I was unable to boot after the upgrade. After the upgrade, I have a black screen with a little cursor blinking in the upper, left corner. No messages from grub. No response when I press keys on the keyboard. No time-out. It just stays there. I installed Linux Mint (kde edition) without any issues late yesterday night - so the hardware seems to be OK. However, I'm doing some C++14 programming, and the compilers in Mint are too old for my code. I can't compile. That's the reason I was using testing on my main machine. I still have a free SSD disk where I can install and trouble-shoot the problem. Please advice.

Re: Unable too boot after fresh install of latest testing

I have tried rescue mode and various grub-install and update-grub commands update-grup makes no difference. With EFI enabled in bios (dual mode legacy/efi), grub gave me this message (after I ran install-grub /dev/sdc from rescue mode): error: /grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found I disabled EFI in bios, and reinstalled. Got blinking cursor. Entered rescue mode and issued install-grub /dev/sdc. After reboot, I finally got the grub boot prompt (with a frame of alpha-signs). However, when I tried to boot Debian, I got this error: error: can't find command `['. error: can't find command `['. error: can't find command `search'. error: can't find command `echo'. error: can't find command `linux'. error: can't find command `echo'. error: can't find command `initrd'. Press any key to continue... Then I gave up installing on /dev/sdc and installed on /dev/sda, with defaults (encrypted disk on top of LVM, /boot in separate ext4 partition). After reboot, all I got was the blinking cursor... I installed Mint on /dev/hda (to get a working desktop, and to check if the hardware was still working) and left /dev/hdc for further research on the problem. Since it worked before, and works with an older installer (Linux Mint), it looks, walks and quacks like a bug. It seems to me like the installer don't install the grub boot-loader on this machine. When I ran grub-install from the rescue mode (with / mounted as / and /boot mounted on it's partition), grub was installed indeed, but not correctly. I am eager to get my machine running again with testing, so I'm available to trouble-shoot further. However, I'm no expert on grub. I need some suggestions on how to proceed. (I spend a whole day googling and trying different suggestions that came up in the results). Is your boot partition not encrypted? /boot is not encrypted.

Re: Installing an Alternative Init?

Ironically, jessie is the first release where you can actually install an alternative init. Up until now you were forced to use sysvinit. People seem to forget that. sysvinit was not that controversial :) Personally I never liked sysvinit. The /etc/init.d scripts to start even simple services was overly complex, and they grew worse over time. When I first read about systemd, I actually liked it. I still do. - That is, I like the simpler service-configuration, and the starting of services in parallel. I used to be a DevOp 10 - 15 years ago (that is, mostly developer, but also operator on may be 30 Debian servers spread around) - and I hated all the waiting while databases and mail servers spun up, one after another. (This was before virtualization become common - and single servers often served many purposes. Today, we are more concerned about how much time it takes to start a 100.000 VM's than the boot-time for each instance). What I don't like about systemd, is that it insists on doing things I don't want it to do. I don't want /it/ to control the network or udev, or anything but the initialization of the system. I like the simplicity of UNIX. In the long run, I don't think that I want systemd on my personal machines, or machines I am responsible for. So allowing alternatives now, makes sense. It's a good thing. Jarle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Error setting raw device

Did you solve your problme ? If yes, how did you fix it ? Hi, sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some projects and had to leave the mailing-lists for a while. The problem was solved when I upgraded to the amd64 port. It seems like a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userland simply do not work with raw devices.
