Debian bookworm: reboot required
Hello, in the past Debian Distributions there were two files in the system, when a reboot was necessary: /run/reboot-required /run/reboot-required.pkgs I installed today a new kernel under Debian Bookworm, which requires a reboot, but this system lacks of both files. They aren't present. How can I find out, if there is a system reboot necessary, in a similar way, as it was possible in the past? Thanks in advance.

If the PDF is editable (has the option to fill out the blanks), I use often
chromium.

I bought Master PDF Editor, but even the commercial Qoppa looks quiet
interesting.
My experience is, I can use MasterPDF Editor on two machines (i.e. Desktop and
Laptop), which is a requirement for me. Some times I need to reinstall the
Debian Packages again, because it "forgets" its license or has issues with Qt5
- so I kept the original Debian Packages, as I didn't want to buy it again. I'm
using Master PDF Editor on Debian now over various Debian versions, and over
various machines since several years. Not renewing the lincese means only that
I'm kept away from the latest features, but not from the original progam.

The given information is not enough to debug, and I'd never seen any other connection failure cases. My advice is, even it's annoying to see a lot of verbose output on your terminal, that you can use options "-vvv" in your ssh call, like: ssh -vvv user@host date As you have as well good as bad connections, try to compare that output from both types of ssh connections.

Kernel Update: missing /run/reboot-required.pkgs
Hi,
I update my packages on Debian Bookworm, and one of them was the Linux kernel:
6.1.0-15 --> 6.1.66-1
I see that file /run/reboot-required exists, but I miss file
/run/reboot-required.pkgs
Has Debian removed in Bookworm naming the packages, which require a reboot, or
will the linux-image package never be included in reboot-required.pkgs?
Thanks.

Sorry, but I didn't follow the whole thread complete. Maybe parts of this were
already asked...
• Can you check on the host kananga, if sshd is running and really listening on
port 22?
Can you (as root) on host kanaga, and send us the output:
lsof -P -i -n | grep ssh | grep root | grep LISTEN
Check especially, if ssh is listening for all hosts (indicated by an asterisk
'*')?
• Can you check, if there are no Firewall restrictions for Port 22 on host
kanaga:
Do as root:
iptables -L -n | grep dpt:22
• Check, if there are no Firewall restrictions regarding the host on host
kanaga for your host titan:
Do as root:
for i in `host titan | awk '{print $NF}'` ; do iptables -L -n | grep $i
; done
• Finally, if you didn't get the answer yet, check on host titan, what ssh is
really doing, with lots of more verbose messages:
ssh -vvv rprice@kananga date

Oh! Reminds me on the fact, that Fast Boot of Windows locks the disk devices,
and they can't be accessed by any other system on the same computer, even after
Windows shutdown - to avoid disk corruption.

The advice of Jeffrey Walton to change the permission would be my first help too. fw1 indicates to be a FireWire device, so I'm out; never possessed one.

The information about themes I found is somewhat confusing as there are references to GTK-2.0 and to GTK-3-0. Which GTK is actually used? Thanks for any hints. -- K.D.J.

I would replace the include NVMe by larger, similar one, and install Debian Bullseye on it. Because this URL confirms, that Debian Bullseye is working without issues, if you can have access to the Linux firmware, like by USB stick. https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Dell/Precision%203570%20%28bullseye%29 Therefore I would replace the NVMe by a similar, larger one. Have a look into the "Precision 3570 Setup und technische Daten" document, which can be found a the Dell website, for all the technical details for the NVMe (table 13 + 14). https://dl.dell.com/content/manual56242967-precision-3570-setup-und-technische-daten.pdf?language=de-de=true Then replace it, like it is described in the Precision 3570 Service handbook, found again at the Dell website. https://dl.dell.com/content/manual55813596-precision-3570-servicehandbuch.pdf?language=de-de=true If you fear, that you will still need the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and need the access to it, install old NVMe into a NVMe case with an external USB connection. But, as said above, Debian Bullseye should work without any adaption. Good luck. Regards, Klaus. -- Klaus Singvogel GnuPG-Key-ID: 1024R/5068792D 1994-06-27

Strange that "which ping" is reporting /bin/ping and not /usr/bin/ping as first executable. The strange thing is that /usr/bin/ping is locate before /bin/ping in your $PATH and both are the same files in a standard installation (the inodes are identical). So I assume, there is something utterly broken with your system (or your report), because of this. But my hottest solution in your report is an alias. Having an alias of ping will never be reported by "which" neither. So I can imaging you've defined ping as an alias. And as Greg said, try "type ping" to find this out (and not "which ping").

1986 seems to be a bit too early to me, since the first SUSE Linux (1.0)
was released 1994.
S.U.S.E. 6.0 was released Dec '98 and S.U.S.E. 6.1 released in Aug '99.
Maybe that's the year you wanted to tell.

Re: Your Thoughts on Printer Replacement

> I print rarely. Inkjet or laser? Or other? The carts on the L7700 tend

Rarely printing? I would suggest a laser, even if the price for printouts
is higher.
Brand? The situation current is this, that only HP released their printer
drivers as Open Source (at least 99% of them). This means that you will
get forever support for these printers with OpenSource - at least in
theory. :-) Think: Even after the CUPS has been replaced in Debian or CUPS
is changing it's internal data/communication/API, the source can be
adapted by someone, who can program, even if HP won't.
Also a printer, which is capable of PostScript oder PDF, should be an
invest in future. As PostScript (PS) is still the most supported printer
language at the moment - PDF is/was only a derived language from PS.
On the other side: I own two lasers from HP because of the OpenSource
situation. I'm not so happy with my MFP device (CM415 - comparable with
MFP 227), as the scanner (!) part is cheap and shows this after some time:
a limited number of pages can be scanned by the sheet-fed and then its no
longer working (typical: 1000 pages), the scans are a way too light by b/w
only pages.
Real PostScript laser printers by Kyocera are not cheap, even I had a very
good experience with them under Linux in a former company.
Conclusion:
It's not easy to recommend a good printer model.
I would never recommend to buy a printer, where you don't get OpenSource
drivers. I'm not speaking of Linux drivers, I speak of Open >Source<
drivers.
Best regards,
Klaus.

Re: scanner recommendation

For years I have used a Visioneer OneTouch 7100 usb flatbed scanner on various x86 computers running various versions of Debian and simple-scan.

For years it worked "okay". But it suddenly started producing scans with a narrow pink stripe down the left side of the scan image produced. I tried installing xsane (too complicated for me), which I did not configure at all. And if I just clicked the scan button in xsane it would "dim out" and then do nothing. As a bonus, simple-scan then no longer worked; upon clicking scan in simple-scan it would just do nothing, with a rotating "activity busy" circle displaying indefinitely. So I uninstalled (purged) both xsane and simple-scan, re-installed simple-scan, then rebooted. Simple-scan now "works", but still produces the pink stripe down the image left side, just as before. : ( Note: the scanner is (about) 20 years, so no parts or service available from Visioneer. : ( So . . . Can anyone recommend a good replacement scanner? I am really hoping to get something that works "out of the box", with little or no configuration, etc. I am using a CanoScan LiDE 400. I bought it because they have a (very simple) Linux support. The software is a not very clever but works nicely. The images (jpg, pdf) are good.

Those DNS servers were independent and respect more privacy, compared to my ISP. But after a while I noticed, that those public DNS servers drop requests and I saw your error messages at my side too, especially if there were a lot of name resolutions in a short time period. Those errors vanished after a while (several minutes) and everything worked as expected. But then, when resolving again a lot of domain names, the issues were back. Especially when I download from S3 Amazon, because the IP address for s3.[...].amazon.com changes every 10 seconds or so. Don't know, if both are related.

I'm already running my Debian with $HOME set to a different path:
/home.disk2/
All I needed to change was the /etc/passwd entry: to the new, different
location; nearly eveything worked fine since then.
I started with this constellation years ago and never changed the path
afterwards. So I don't have any experience in case of a move.
The only "program" which caused issues in the past was apparmor.
For this, I modified: /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/site.local
and added: @{HOMEDIRS}+=/home.disk2
For the future, I see with doubts that systemd wants to make the home
directory portable and if this will cause issues for my constelation.
Best regards,
Klaus.

No: no new version. If you're unhappy with that, think about these choices: - install upcoming Debian 11 (Testing, Bullseye) and live with the changes of packages and possible errors in the system. Release date unknown. - install Debian Sid (Unstable) and live with many more changes - if both are not fullfilling your needs, think about a different distribution: LFS (Linux from Scratch), or Yocto, or commerical one.

Re: Security Vulnerabilities with Nginx v1.14.2 and GNOME Evolution
Hi Revanth, as you might have found out now, the Debian Security team is backporting security patches to older versions of OpenSource software, and Debian 10 isn't insecure. The advantage of backporting is, that you don't have to adapt config files to latest syntax on an update, nor introduce incompatible libraries to your system on update. So, don't worry about the older versions of software regarding security. They are getting regular patches by the Debian Security team, even when the package maintainer doesn't support this version anymore. I want to thank here the Debian Security team for there excellent job they did in the past and the future. Thank you. Regarding missing CVE-2020-11879 for GNOME Evolution: I don't have the proof, but I think this points out to the fact the shipped version isn't affected. Best regards, Klaus.

Hi, I am trying to run VB 16.1.14 r140239 on my laptop under Debian Buster. After sucessfully signing vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp I installed the extension package. Now I have to additionally sign vboxpci. However, this module was not installed. Where do I get it from? -- K.D.J.

It's more or less a layer model with different entry points into different
layers.
A GUI login performs a login type with more graphical features. Therefore,
when starting a shell is a subprocess of an already performed login, and a
.*login isn't required anymore.
Login on console instead executes the login shell.
Same is for a remote login like SSH (and for the old men: rsh).
And: a .profile (or .rc) is always executed, as it isn't related to
the circumstance, if it's a login process or a subprocess of a login.
Note: I'm starting a tcsh not a bash as my (login) shell. Therefore I'm
writing the file names in a more abstract way to fit for both.
Regards,
Klaus.

(not being sarcastic - I > really don't know enough about this to know whether it would or not) That old machine has stored most settings in the BIOS. It's not unlikely, that a new CMOS battery might help, but surely depends on vendor/model and BIOS itself. Look here: https://www.laptop-junction.com/toast/content/battery-not-charging-bios-setup Another way to check state of CMOS battery: unplug and replug AC (and battery at same time - to be sure) for a few seconds. Check afterwards if machine keeps time and date. Best regards, Klaus. -- Klaus Singvogel GnuPG-Key-ID: 1024R/5068792D 1994-06-27

Maybe the CMOS battery empty?
Try to measure the voltage, if you're eligible with this.
If low and depending on price for replacement, I would give it a chance.

True. But did you notice that the Supermicro comes with a redudant power supply? I wouldn't care about your concerns "close to the minimum requirements" here. As long as the machine didn't need an extra graphic card or any other "power hungry" devices, everything seems to be fine to me. Experience with SuperMicro: The customer of the company I'm working for, is sharing a test rack with us. There is a SuperMicro rackmount WIO model built-in, running an outdated Linux system. It's running flawless since years now. Except the fact that the fans are a bit noisy, we are deeply contented with this machine.
