Re: Duel Booting Debian on a Mac

The brightness of the screen does not readjust after suspend/resume in Debian (I worked hard trying to solve this with some published hacks, but no full success). 2. Often the Mac got hot with closed lid, eating the battery. This seems caused by the above firmware manipulation hack. 3. Ugrades of OSX seem to damage the reFind configuration. Also there is a problem writing the hidden rescue partition during an upgrade of OSX. \ I'm writing this from wheezy on my macbook pro (2011). It took a while to get it working well but now it has been for 1 year. Some of the key things that have helped: things I have never resolved: screen brightness keys, keyboard brightness keys - I'm not sure if hibernate would work as I don't have a swap partition to use for it. I did make shell scripts to do these things and they can be mapped to key combinations in various ways if those things are a priority. John Holland jholl...@vin-dit.org gpg public key ID 0xEFAF0D15 I'm writing this on my macbook pro (late 2011) with xubuntu 14.04 (I switched from debian, which I used for about 6 years, because I don't like systemd). I have everything working for a month now: suspend, backlight keys, keyboard backlight, sound, ... I know xubuntu is not debian but, being a derivative, I think it would be possible to do it on wheezy as well. For me, the key was using the package pommed which also exists on debian wheezy. This makes all the hot keys work and also sound and beep, and even switching the default of the function keys (top row). As to the gpu, I login through refind into grub that passes commands to the kernel that switch to intel and switch-off amd completely. I also had to issue hardware commands directly to the hardware ports by slightly modifying a grub script. As an indication, when I do $ lspci | grep VGA, I only see the intel gpu, the amd doesn't even show. This saves a lot of battery; when I pull out the adapter, I see 7 hours on the power manager icon. Of course I also have the cpu on power-on-demand. Still concerning the suspend, I remember I had to repeat the port commands to switch the gpu on wake-up. I did this by reading a lot on the net but unfortunately I lost track of the links. But, if you have trouble finding it, I'm willing to dive in it again because only about a month has past, it's still fresh in my mind.

No windows decoration only on some apps
Hello, I have a sid system since a long time and I'm very happy with it. It started using gnome 2 when I switched from MS but now has xfce and compiz using the common Glossy theme. Since a few weeks, some applications ceased to show windows decorations, or at least not having the configured Glossy theme, namely: file-roller, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-disks, among others.

Can somebody please help, preferably not telling me to install all that gnome stuff again? Most possibly this behaviour is connected to the fact that sid (and testing) moved to Gtk+ 3.12 (see [1] for an upstream explanation). The change itself is that Gtk+ application asks window manager to hide WM-provided window decoration just to draw it's own, GTK specific. Thank you for the explanation, now I understand what's going on. And, given that upstream ever bothered testing Gtk+ with their mutter window manager only, such change broke Gtk+ with other window managers (see [2] for the details). Still on same path, nothing new. In the case of [2] it is claimed that Gtk+ 3.12.1 fixes this somehow. Now, [2] talks about xfwm window manager (and in xfwm's case decorations are drawn twice), you have none, but if I was you I'd: 1) Tried a different window manager. Say, openbox. I love compiz, very flexible on configurations; the feature I would miss the most would be the softness when changing workarea, I use it several times a minute, I don't like minimizing nor switching windows, I switch workareas instead, containing different job contexts. 2) Tried to patch Gtk+ with [3]. Too troublesome for the result achieved. 3) Stopped using Gtk+ 3 applications at all. Also difficult, there are apps difficult to replace without a loss, for instance, gnome-system-monitor and file-roller. In these cases, I can live with the graphic ugliness.

At the cost of having to use vmware :) You're right, I don't use it. By the way, I just remembered there's an alternative way to activate an oem license. I read it on a MS page, confirming what I observed. You probably already know this but it might help someone. In fact, every pre-installed oem windows os has two cd keys; the first is for the slp license we have been discussing, which you can read in the registry and that is locked to the bios. The other is the one on the COA label stick to the machine. This is to be used in case you loose the recovery partition on the disk; for instance if the disk breaks. To activate this license, you install windows with a retail cd, because you usually don't get a cd with pre-installed windows, insert the COA cd key, and activate by phone. I'm sure this works on a ported vm using your method, to which the cd key is changed to the one on the COA. The problem is that you have to reactivate if you delete the vm and they place a limit for activations. Then again, you might use your method of license backup. Are you a lawyer? Do you have reason why the qualified legal advice I was given is incorrect? (read the bit about unless you have a developers license). No, I'm not a lawyer, are you? No. So if you act on my advice it won't serve as grounds for mitigation. My indemnity insurance doesn't cover legal advice! But we had one at the company I worked for where we moved a lot of legacy XP machines into VMs and we consulted him *before* doing it (we passed the subsequent software audits). MS advised us to dispose of the machines (they believe you owe them a license even after you remove the OS as the hardware came with Windoof pre-installed even though we also had corporate *and* developer licenses - they wanted us to use their emulator - which would require W7, we weren't prepared to tell them we'd only be buying a handful of W7 licences and using Linux instead of thousands of W7 installs. But that was more a negotiating tactic for license prices rather than an exercise in deceit.

I agree :) This is a good point. Quasi the only point of my reply, so I should have send just this note. Most dual Windows/Linux booters who used Windows for years never ever seriously will switch to Linux. I suspect that many users have trouble with Windows. When they switch to Linux they expect to get rid of the trouble, but they will experience more, since the thing between monitor and chair is the culprit and not the OS, so they likely will boot Windows only. That's a very interesting point, but I wonder if it's true. There are real-world reasons to run both windows on linux on the same machine (personal example: running Linux on my laptop for development and demonstrations; running Windows for office applications). But, having said that, when one really uses two operating systems on the same machine, I expect it's more common to run one under virtualization, so you can run both at the same time - dual booting is a real pain if one is really USING both operating systems. What are other people's experiences? How many folks here use Windows (or Mac o/s) on the same machine as a linux distribution? Do you dual-boot or do you virtualize? I use linux, jessie/sid debian, for about 6 years on my laptop, which is my main box. I use every apps I can on it: thunderbird, iceweasel, libreoffice, gimp, inkscape, mplabx ide, zim, xsane, mythtv frontend and a lot others, I believe on FOSS for more reasons than just philosophical or ethical; the most important is security, nobody can tamper an app with a lot of people watching. Then I have two virtual machines on virtualbox running windows for apps I can't run otherwise, I even tried wine to no success. The first is XP x86 running a corporate accounting program frontend, which backend in on a sql server; I already asked the software house to make a linux version but after about one year and a lot of insistent emails, got a reply saying that they had an agreement, partnership or whatever, with MS and couldn't do that. Although I prefer the XP machine for speed and small footprint, the other runs windows 7 for a couple of apps that only run acceptably on 7 / 64 bits. To finish, all other windows apps that I need and run on wine, I installed them there; for instance, windows regrettably has much better video editing / processing apps, like avisynth and virtualdub, but most run on wine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is much better, thank you. I knew it worked in windowed or seamless mode but I've always assumed it wouldn't work in fullscreen because, where would the mouse go if we are in fullscreen? I thought the master key would only be good with a following keystroke (like home to get VB menu or Del for Ctrl+Al+Del) So, now it's very easy, if I'm on a fullscreen VM I just hit RightCtrl (my master VB key), make a pause and hit the windows key to get Gnome 3 Desktop manager.

So, I can operate on windowed mode and run the cad program correctly, just loosing about one inch vertically, which is tolerable. Then, when I want to switch to another desktop, I use the top left corner, which is visible, to do it. Let's hope that either the Gnome or the VirtualBox guys sort this out in the meanwhile.

Gnome 3 and VirtualBox
Ok, I've just upgraded to Gnome 3, very smoothly I must say, and I think I like it, after a couple of hours operating on my production machine. Now, just noticed my first operating problem. I must run a Windows cad application in VirtualBox. On Gnome 3 + Compiz, I just used to place this on another desktop at fullscreen, and just dragged the mouse to the screen edge and let Compiz switch to the other desktop when I needed to.

Now, if I switch VirtualBox out of fullscreen to windowed or seamless mode, then of course I can switch the desktop but then the cad program stops displaying it's screen which probably uses 3D; Windows still behaves normally. This doesn't happen under Gnome 2 or XFCE. I tried to play with combinations of VB settings of 2D and 3D pass-through to no avail.

I have CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y on the kernel config file in /boot so I guess it's configured. I just discovered, by watching fstab, that I had modified this to try to use the Switcheroo mechanism (switching GPU's), like this: none/sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults0 0 which I'm not using because I came to the conclusion it wasn't fitted to my machine. So I guess this wouldn't allow use debugfs. I umount'd and now I could mount it as instructed. Did you install intel_gpu_dump by downloading it or by installing the package intel-gpu-tools? Did it write something to intel_gpu_dump.txt? I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg using synaptics package manager and it asked to install intel-gpu-tools as a dependency. It didn't write anything after the freeze. I'll interrupt this writing here to trigger the bug again and use intel_gpu_dump to see what happens. So, I changed fstab, reboot, mounted debugfs, triggered the freeze, accessed by ssh and sudo intel_gpu_dump which produced the same error as before. Looked at dmesg, Xorg.0.log and /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state and saw nothing relevant there. Furthermore, I looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze which says that a backtrace on Xorg.0.log is a non-symptom because this isn't an X crash.

GPU hang EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop
Hello, I'm a newbie to Debian although I've used Ubuntu for a couple of years before switching. I'm following the advice of http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting to post here for help. I have this repeatable bug that hangs the GPU when I open a certain .ods file (didn't try others) with LibreOffice and double-click on a graph. Also happened when I selected a cell block to copy. It happened 5 times today. I still can access the laptop using ssh and the mouse still moves but the screen is frozen. I've also had several GPU hangs before but not repeatable and not so often. My Laptop has a hybrid graphics but I'm only using the sandybridge integrated Intel GPU; I've powered-off the nvidia using acpi-call. As I don't know to which package I should file the bug against, to be able to use reportbug, please guide me on this and I'll be much obliged. I'm append the Xorg.log for reference, which includes the backtrace. I wonder if it's too long for this list; if so, please excuse me.

Re: GPU hang EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop

Perhaps you can put additional information into the bug report when you reproduce the problem with xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg package installed. Thank you for your help. Installed xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg package and intel-gpu-tools as dependency with synaptics package manager. Followed instructions from here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/intel-gpu-dump.html but couldn't mount debugfs because system says either it's already mounted or busy. I can't see it mounted with # mount Anyway, triggered the hang-up, which is pretty repeatable, accessed the laptop with ssh and tried # intel_gpu_dump intel_gpu_dump.txt Couldn't map MMIO region: No such file or directory Can you please tell me what's happening?
