Strange VLC upgrade

[Michelle Konzack]

Good morning*

Some days ago I made an upgrade and now VLC (3.0.6-0+deb9u1) is very
strange:

1) If I am with the curser on the VLC window, it show not more the
   arrow, but the "Resize Cursor"

2) If I have several programs open and more then the half of my
   Thinkpad T400 memory (4 GByte) is used, vlc iconify itself

3) If I open a saved playlist, VLC rearrange it which I do not want

4) VLC lost all the times its sound settings and I have to search in
   a list of arrond 20 devices the right functioning one

5) VLC has now window decorations in the control panel in fullscreen
   modus and the control panel is outside of the screen in the bottom

6) At startup, VLC windows is always outside of screen geometry to
   the left

7) VLC does not more respect EWMH

and the list continues endless!

Are there solutions to solv this seven more important problems?

Thanks in advance

Re: Sound stoped unecpected

[Michelle Konzack]

Hi,

I rebooted (soft) the ThinkPad and nothing was working.

Since we got a snowstorm yesterday evening (until this morning) my
GSM/LTE Provider Telia was down and without internet I had to
shutdown my ThinkPad.

Just some minutes ago I switched on my Thinkpad and now anything is
working again as expected, including sound!

It seems, the hardware was crashed and could not even recover by
soft rebooting the ThinkPad.  Only a PowerOff will help!

Now the only problem is:

Why does the ThinkPad crash or freeze,
if I have a power failure on the DockingStation...

Thanks in advance
Michelle

Sound stoped unecpected

[Michelle Konzack]

Good evening *,

I have a ThinkPad T400 with Docking Station and whenever I have a power
failer, the ThinkPad crash... I have Stretch with sysv-init running.

However, I can hard reset the ThinkPad and thath it is.

Today I got an unexpected result AFTER A HARD REBOOT.

The sound stoped...

If I run "Pulse Audio Volume Control" I see the streams from VLC,
Audacity and Firefox, but no sound is comming out of the loudspeakers.

Doe someone had a similar problem and know how to solv it?

I have already called alsamixer and moved all settings arround,

Re: Firefox Quantum can not open ProfileManager

[Michelle Konzack]

Now it become more bizzar because I rebooted the Laptop and opened
firefox with the new profile:

The bookmark and history system will not be functional
because one of Firefox's files is in use by another
application. Some security software can cause this problem.

Any suggestions?

Firefox Quantum can not open ProfileManager

[Michelle Konzack]

Good day and Happy new Year,

Does anyone know, why firefox v64.0 does not support -ProfileManager or
-P only?

I want to manage profiles, but it does not work with Quantum.  Only with
the Debian provided version.

However, it load also the wrong profile if the profile name is added.

If I start the profile (in a new window) from within another Window,
the places.json is blocked and I can not add to the new profile ANY
bookmarks.

Thanks in advance

You have not even tried v61 or higher (v64 now).

I have deactivated autoupdate but it simply ignore it since v54.

Also it try to enforce to activated DRM content and whenever a

There is NO POSSIBILITY to deactivate DRM entirely including this
crappy yellow bar...

Also my ThinkPad T400 has 4GByte of memory and 4GByte of Swap and
Firefox eat it in less the 24 hours by kicking other Applications.

Also there is NO POSSIBILITY to limit th wbcache size...

Re: Low-Cost Tablet PC suitable for Debian

[Michelle Konzack]

Forgotten one thing:

It can be also an Open-Frame PanelPC, because I have BIG LiPoly cells
of 6Ah and 12Ah availlable and can also build my own housing.

Adv.:I have Serial Ports, more USB, can have an attached heating
 element... Direct CD/DVD support...

DisAdv.: Need external USB/Serial GSM/3G Modem and mostly USB-Wifi
 adapter.  Higher Power consumption, but it does not realy
 matter, because I have everywhere 24V DC availlable from
 Solar- and Windenergy...

So I need generally:

1)  2-4 USB ports
2)  Serial RS232/485 port
3)  Ethernet
4)  Wifi
5)  GSM/3G
6)  Touchscreen
7)  Possibel external keyboard
8)  Mouse/Trackball

Note: I can not get my BananaPI (because it has CAN) with

By Interphone I mean the door phone.

I think, "Interphone" is used in french
and in german it is called "Türsprechanlage".

But I like the idea of using the SIP Protocol, because I can redirect
the doorphone to any places of this planet.  Even if I am not at home,
I can see people ringing ar the door

-40°C is very rare but it has to survive.

Normal estonian winter temperatures are between -15°C and -25°C.
So, the doorphone/interphone should work in this range.

Interphone with SIP-Protocol

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello Guys,

OK, I live now since last year permanently in Estonia and have now a 4ha
(13ha max) Organic Farm with 5,6ha forest.  Because I live in a loghouse
I have build a fire and storm proof "Serverbunker" where my Intranet
Server with its own power supply reside (the Mainpower supply will be
cut at stomy weather).

>From theis Serverbunker I go (Lighting protection) with Multimode Fiber
Cabesl (100Base-FX) to the House, Powerstation, Greenhouse, Earth-
storrage and of course to the Portal.

Because my Portal is in a distance of 60m from the Serverbunker and I do
not like to install a seperated earth cable, I am now searching for an
IP/SIP based Interphone.  Best would be with Video.

Has someone experience with it and can suggest me a product?

Note 1: We have currently -10°C on the Farm and it can go down
until -30°C (some years ago it was for one day -39°C),
which increase the requirements on the Interphone.

Note 2: In 2017/2018 i used a Banana PI at a Sidele Interphone,
but the BPI gaved up at -5°C and the Siedele at -20°C.

Thanks in advance

If you have some PHP/Python/Perl skills, then you can code

I searched the internet and it shows, that with OM3 and
GigaBit you can have only 150m.  10GBit is limited to 35m.

If you have OM4, then GBit is 550m and 10GBit 150m

OM4 would alow me to increase the 100Base-FX to 2km,
while OM3 allow me up to 550m which is in my range
since my Farm is not bigger except at the End of the
Forest where "Nobody was gone before".   ;-)
(I love StarTrek)
Would be a 5 year voyage with heavy djungle equipment.

A 100m Earthcabel OM4 for 1 GBit (mimited to 550m) cost around 280€,
while an OM3 Earthcable for 100Base-FX with Duplex SC connectors cost
only 90€.

Also I have 8 Microsense Switches (1x 100Base-FX, 7x 100Base-TX) which
you can get on eBay for less then 30€/piece including shipping.

The TP-Link MC100CM Media Converter (100Base-TX->100Base-FX with
Dupex SC) cost less then 32€/piece (Brandnew with waranty) directly
at TP-Link on eBay or lesser (refurbished) from other sellers.  I
got 3 of them in Germany for 47€ including DHL shipping to Estonia.

Need still 3 Media Converters more and maybe 2-3 spare.

Doing this with GBit would cost more then 3000€ in total because of
the very expensive OM4 Earthcabel.

Also a 1GBit Network card cost roughly 140€ in Germany.  In Estonia
it is out of question to buy it (200€).

Oh, to isolate the Serverbunker from the IP-Cams, the ALCASA
Elektronik AG offerd me OM3 Earthcable with 8 Fasern (???) and
on each end 4 Duplex SC Connectors, which I can put immediately
into the ground to the Portal of my Farm.  This Allow me to install
immediately the first Microsense Switch with the SIP Interphone and
the first IP-Cam plus a Siemns LOGO! 2BA8.

For the IP-Cams on the street corners on the Farm I would then need
only the Duplex SC Adapter and continue with 100-150m Fiber Patchkabel.

Next year I can continue with another 200m Patchcable for the forest
for which I need to slice the street an need an authorisation, but
after the winter this is no problem, because it is only a 8t light
street which is repaired after each winter (do not ask, why estonians
do this)

I hope, I get all prices together in the next days

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I found <http://www.fs.com/> which seems VERY cheap even for
customised lenghts of OM3 SC/SC cables.

Gigabit, as someone sugested, would require OM4 cables which are
twice as expensive and also the Networkcards and switches.

I use for my "Serverbunker" a 16-port greenswitch (12V/2A) and for
every fiber cable a TP-Link MC100CM Media Converter.  On the other
end I use the Microsense MS453111 which has 7 x RJ45 100Mbit and 1 x
100BaseFX/SC (12V/1A).

I think this should work for all.

Oh, from the Server Bunker to the Portal I can use Fiber, but then
I can use my existing Cat5e Ethernet Earthcable to connect the first
4 IP-Cams and the SIP Interphone where I have not the need for any
protection pipes.

I bought currently 400m protection pipe of 50mm diameter which I am
ongoing to place parallel with the HD-PE pipes and the electric cables.

But my here pros and cons:

I found the "HP ProCurve 1600M" (16-port. under 100€) and the 4-port
"HP J4112A 100Base-FX Module" (approx. 50€). This would be perfect,
except for the Power Supply.

The question is:

Is it possibel to replace the 230V Power supply by a DC-DC-Inverter?
Recom and Traco have a huge sortiment...

Or use simply my D-Link 5/8-Port GreenSwitches and use a load of
TP-Link MC100CM in my "Server Bunker"?  On the other End I could
use the Microsens MS453111 which has 7 Ethernet and one FX ports.

Fiber Multimode 1310nm cables.

So what I have is following:

1) Server "Bunker" (19" 16U Rack, 2 Mini-ITX Server, 4G-Router,
   Astra-Internet Switch, currently 8-port D-Link GreenSwitch, UPS)

2) House (30m distance to second D-Link GreenSwitch)
3) Workspace (20m distance, will get maybe an additional D-Link 5-port
   GreenSwitch)
4) (Winter-)Greenhouse (60m distance for Siemens LOGO!)
5) Powerstation (20m distance, Victron Color Control GX, Siemens LOGO!,
   requires 2 cable or also an another D-Link 5-port GreenSwitch)

So this can be done with 12m thick Ethernet Earthcables which I get
for under 0,50€/m

6) Panorama IP cam with remote controll installed on my big Windmill
   mast (100Base-TX, 110m distance)

Best option to connect 6)?

7) 1 IP cam (100Base-TX) with Interphone in 50m distance
   here I can also use an Ethernet cable and then using a Eternet/Fiber
   switch to connect

and from 7)

8) 2 IP cams (100Base-TX) in 40m distance
9) 2 IP cams (100Base-TX) in 80m distance
10) 2 IP cams (100Base-TX) in 140m distance

In 2020 we plan a Stall (160m distance) for our animals which should
get also an IP cam and an IP based Interphone (SIP?)

In 4-5 years we plan a second House which in a distance of arround
300-350m

For the IP cams I can get very cheap the TP-Link MC100CM on which I
can attach a small temperature controlled heating element (Estonia
can be cold as -40°C on our farm). The LevelOne IEC-4001 would be
nicer, but the price is GRMPF!

Fiber SC cables I can get up to 400m preconfigured, so this is no
problem.


The question is now, how to connect all best together?


The two Mini-ITX Servers have no free PCI/PCEe ports available,
hence only Ethernet direct or the MX100CM is an option

Now I need a Fiber Singel-Mode SC Switch and (maybe) Network Cards
for my Workstations where two have PCI and PCIe slots.


Which 100Base-FX/SC Switch and Card can you recommend?


Note: Since I have NO AC-Power availlable, the Switches MUST HAVE
  external power supplies (5-24V DC)

I found on eBay the Microsens MS453111 very cheap (I can buy some
spare too; however, the Microsens Website <http://www.microsens.cn>
does not more work since some time) but I would probably need in my
"Bunker" a Switch which has 12-16 Eternet ports and 3-4 SC ports.

Also the power consumption does matter because Of the solar- and
windenergy systems

My old 3Com 100Base-FX (PCI) cards have unfortunately only
Singel-Mode hence I need new stuff for my 4 Workstations.

Thanks in advance

Definitively not.

MANY IAP forbid the use of NNTP (e.g. the french Providers Bougues and
Orange) because of the HUGE traffic it produce.

Also you can not access NNTP from mobile devices without killing your
data traffic allowance...

Telia in Estonia has no restrictions, but downloading the index of a
Kernel Devel Newsgroup has just produced 356MByte traffic!  WTF?
96.000 Messages?

I would say, your MTA has nothing to do with it.

If you run your own Server and your MTA receive a new message,
let it point to procmail and sort it. I assum, you access the
server trough IMAP so the next time you connect with your
prefered MUA or Squirrelmail you will see the mesages nicely
sorted.

I get today per day arround 700 messages (10 years ago it was
more then 2500 per day) and i have go only in mailfolders I am
interested in.

My IMAP structure is

INBOX
 .BTS_debian
.
 .ML_debian
   .arm
   .embedded
   .security
   .user
   .user-german
 .ML_mail
 .courier-users@lists_sourceforge_net

 .ML_pgsql
  .general
 .ML_php
.general
 .ML_xwindow
.fvwm@fvwm_org
.xorg@lists_freedesktop_org
...

Mutt and Squirrelmail marke the folders where are new messages.
and if I am only interested in mutt, I have not to search in a
mailbox with several 100 (or several 1000 after holliday)
unrelated messages.

I hope this give you a clue.

No chance for Webbased Forum especially with all this trackers in it!

I run my own Courier Server and I use procmail since 2007 on it.
Works like a charm.

I can access my Mails sorted using Squirrelmail

The templates where created in beginng of last year when I was in
Strasbourg and since then I had no real time to care about any
informatics including backups, because my intranet server is
currently off-line

I have NOT upgraded!

Since I run for security reason two identical systems in parallel
(two different partitions) I eleminated one and installed Stretch.

This leafe /home untuched until I start the new version of LO,
which usually detect the old ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/templates
at the first startup and move the templates over to the new location.

No, I am searching for my privat templates which I have made
for the fiscal office and for automated bookkeeping.

I discovered tjat the templates are missing when I tried to make my
fiscal declaration for the last year and the XML libs complaint,
that the LO Templates are missing.

If you have templates in ~/.config/libreoffice/3/templates/ and
upgrade to an higher version of LO, it normaly copies the old
existing private templated to the new location e.g.
~/.config/libreoffice/4/templates/

It seems, there went something wrong with it and LO has not
detected this error and killed my templates.

Oi, I see, I have installed Stretch last year and PHP5 was there.
PHP7 is MOSTLY incompatible with PHP5!

However, it seems the php5 virtualpackage is still in place,
but not the corresponding real package,
which seems to be removed by the Debian Team.

Re: Webmail?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hi Joe,

I know, I am a little bit late, but I use Squirrelmail since more
then 15 years now and had no problems from Woody to Stretch with it.

I use it even to access my GMail account  :-)  because then I have
not to bother with those stupid GMail interface and I can do whatever
I want.

Best is you create a seperated Virtualhost like 
and decompress the Squirrelmail archive into it. The run the config
script in  [DOCROOT]/config/conf.pl and set it up.

Should work out of the box.

Oh, use https:// and make sure any security is activated in conf.pl.

Have a nice Sunday

LibreOffice Templates are gone

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

under wheezy, I had the LibreOffice 3 Templates under

~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/templates/

but when I installed Stretch, they where automatical moved to an
unexpected place:

~/Templates/

However, the first (Wheezy) LO3 directory is EMPTY (!)
and I find only 17 of 83 templates. The missing 66 are nowhere.

Wher could the be and how can this be?

It is a huge work, to reconstruct the 66 missing templates from
existing Documents (they are mostly write protected) or even PDFs...

It show at the end 2/3/4 depending how I boot, but after login I am

I have already discovered thet the hydraulic is very rough.
I August/September I get my Prefered 7t or 11t excavator with backhoe
which is another class.

I have a 1,8t one and was yesterday alredy falling in a 25cm deep

Generally we need only a comfortable web based interface where we

Very light "private" cloud

[Michelle Konzack]

Good day,

I am searching vor a OwnCloud/NextCloud replacement, because I use
exclusively and can not use MySQL.  Also the updates drive me nuts
and its resurce conumption.

Is there something MUCH MORE simplier and lighter?

Preferable without ANY databases and written in PHP5 for possibel
extensions?

I need only access for maybe 10 (active) users and a bunch of users
which have to get read access zu certain files/directories

I want to use a seperated host like <https://extranet.example.eu/>

Any suggestions?

OK, I can code it my self, but currently I have ABSOLUTELY NOT TIME,
because I have to care about a new Organic Farm where I am co-owner
and only person working there curently. The house is only half ready
without roof, which I get in August and currently I drive with a 1,8t
Bobcat over the farm making 100s of meters trenches for waterpipes
and cables.  Hell, Estonia is the land of limestone and rocks!

Currently absolutely no chance!

I am co-ower of "Miila Mahe Aed OÜ" (Miila Organic Garden Ltd)
<https://www.miila-mahe-aed.eu/> and have the hell of work on the
neck!  And in the coming Winter I will work on the "Miila Rohe-Energia

have not even time to work on a preliminary Website
<http://www.miila-rohe-energia-systeemid.eu/> which has international
character and OpenSource.

So I can not care about foreign programming issues.

Thanks in advance

Adaptec Raid Controller

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

very long time ago (17 years) I used 3Ware Hardware Raid Controller where
most are working up to now and they are not broken yet.

However, for all newer installations I use Adaptec and especially the
71506E which is a low-cost hardware Raid-0/1/10 Controller.  I have 8 of
them and now one is broken...  Grmpf!

I contacted the new owneer of Adaptec and ...

... was pissed off!

They simply claim, that this controller does not exist, even if I have
invoices and you find references on the Internet.  After I had a long
conversation with the support, they removed the references from the
Adaptec website...

WTF is this now?

They sugested me another 16ch Controller, which just cost 1800€ insted of
480€.  I do not need/want Raid 5/50/6/60 or other crap!  I need only
Raid-1
Hot-Fix and Copy-Back functionality.

Does someone has a similar experience with it?

Which Low-Cost Controller can I use now?

Note:   It MUST be a Hardware-Raid-1 Controller with Battery Backup and
16 channels, because the Server-Mainboard has only one Slot.

Thanks in advance

I use Debian now since beginning of 1999 and it mostly just worked.
OK, systemd is a nightmare but I got it nicely removed.

Also some other minor problems with bluetooth and network where
dependencies are missing if you do not use systemd.
But now anything is working perfectly.

Thanks to the mailingists with all its nice and competent subscribers.

Where do you get the IP-Addresses from the Hotmail/Live/MSN/Outlook

I would need all IPs and/or IP-Blocks from Hotmail/Live/MSN/Outlook,
OHV, Orange, Free, Yahoo, , , <163.com>


My ISP Hetzner in Nürnberg/Germany has billed me nicely extra for
exceeding the allowed traffic.
Yeah, 1 TByte free traffic per month, BUT NOT 650 GBtye IN 4 DAYS!

In France, you can not even sue enterprises like Free, Orange or OHV,
all three are bullet proof spamsources and the biggest in France.

Re: [LEARNING OUTCOME] Wi-Fi WPA Hacking Tool is Totally Useless on New Wireless Routers

[Michelle Konzack]

You do not need WPS to hack a Wifi-Router

You need only to know, on which chanel someone is transfering data
and then you use a WiFi card to sniff the same channel.

WEP can be hacked in less then 5 seconds, WPA in arround 30 seconds
and WPA2 in less then 5 minutes on a ThinkPad T400. We have done
this in Strasbourg several 100 times successfully!

Since the new Wifi-Standard is based on the current one, it is also
not secure as it should be...

Have a nice day

This can not be true, because I use Debian Stretch,

(Login up to WindowManager usage)

PluseAudio is the last crap on earth and I do not even know,

It is not even possibel to get rid of it,
otherwise the WHOLE audiosystem will not more work!

Let's Encrypt and certbot-auto problem

[Michelle Konzack]

Hi *,

my websites are installed in a scheme like

/srv/
 APACHE_availlable/
 APACHE_conf.d/
 APACHE_configs/
 APACHE_enabled/
 CONFIG_webmail.tamay-dogan.net/
htdocs/
includes/
logs/
squirrelmail/
ssl/cert.pem
chain.pem
fullchain.pem
privkey.pem

and the WHOLE /srv/ directory run unpriviliged.   However,  certbot-auto
is working BUT, it modify all the time my VHost configs and then  Apache
does not more restart...  Also my configs are managed by a VHost Manager
and it can not more access the files because certbot-auto has to run  as
root and change the permissions of the config files.

Does  someone  know  a  Cert-Creator/Updater  which  allow  to   set   a
destination directory for the certs and does NOT touch the APACHE Config
files?

Note:   I even do not know, WHY certbot-auto change every time
the Apache configs, even if nothing was changed...

WTF does Firefox 58?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

since my bank forced me to an upgrade to Firefox 58 I am runing into the
hell of problems because there are no replacements for most of my AddOns
(I have not very much) and Firefox 58 kill my internet connection!

I am in Estonia and we have no DSL here.

Only LTE/4G with a 30 GByte contract.

Yesterday I was working on the website
<https://www.miila-mahe-aed.eu/animals/dogs.html>
and if I reload the page, Firefox is prefetching ALL HTML5 Videos!,
mean 900 MByte!

WTF is this?

With LTE/4G in Estonia, you get the 900MByte in lightspeed  because  our
GSM Network deliver up to 300MBit which is the fastest in Europe!

Prefetching videos without user knowledge is just terrorism!
...and there is no possibility in Firesuck to stop this.

Oh yes, it is...

They attack and wait if there is a reaction and then they come back
to you and then you have to explain to the local authorities,
why you have hacked back the attacking IP...

In the past I had several issues with North American authorities.
Several times I endet up at the firewall of some NATO installations in
Europe!  --  Not funny at all, because if i fought back and the justice
made a request, -- oh wonder, any charges against me and my enterprises
where droped!

I seems, they try to make some "uncomfortable" busy to bound there
resources, which not only happen to me...  In my opinion, the USA
targeting european PMCs because we mostly do not want to play the bad
american game.

And do not tell me, this three letter ORGs what only to test the
security of my mail-, dns- and cloud-servers!  All 17 servers of my
network are under permanent attack which produce a traffic of more
then 50 TByte per month... official I have only 1 TByte/Server and this
attacks become costly because I have to pay extra for the traffic!!!

Oh, my standard traffic is only 0,5-2 TByte per month.

The start a DOS or a hack attemped and if your

They claim you have violated the security of an IT infrastructure
(in my case an US nuclear facility) and kick your server off with
the help of your local law enforcement...

In my case, my Mail- and Cloud-Servis is used by a bunch of PMCs
which realy start hateing the USA many years ago...  The behaviour
of the USA is just worse...

Fist of all, Estonia has 1.4mio inhabitants and

Second, there are arround 600.000 russians in Estonia
and a signifikant number of them, refuse to accept Estonia.

Since this immigration was forced by Russia long time ago, the have  the
right to stay, BUT MANY OF THEM, refuse the estonian citizenship.   What
do you mean with Outlaw now?  That THIS russians do not have  the  right
to vote in Estonia and get access to things,  Estonian  and  EU  members
have?

This NON-ESTONIAN russian have a special status (can  stay  without  any
limitations in Estonia) and a special ID and as long as  they  have  it,
they are considered russians.

There is not a singel country  on  the  planet  where  such  things  are
different.

Being criminal is an indivudual choice.  Most russions do not contribute
to the estonian state (e.g. TAX payer) and andy businesses they  do  are
in cash and non declared...  This is a damage to the state!

Russia is NOT part of the EU and if  certain  russians  feel  they  are
russians and refuse to accept the citizenship from the country in which
THEY WHERE BORN, they still stay foreigner!!!

They can be already happy, that the democracy  allow  them  to  stay  in
estonia freely!  Estonia does  NOT  kill  russians,  but  russians  have
eradicated more then 1/3 of the estonian population which is  DEFINITIVE
genocide!

Sound complicate and   expensive, because your Debian PC must
be equiped with other ethernet interfaces and then you have to
configure your Debian PC as Router...

Better to go to an IT shop of your choise and buy an Ethernet

I have not the time and nerv, to build a Debian  Installer-CD/DVD  which
use sysv-init.  Which mean, I have to remove it directly after rebooting
and install 8 of my replacement packages.

I create a Meta-Package for the future, which also install automatically

Yes, I have installed this lib manually...
...and gthumb is woking since then!

However, I have installed it because of  another  packages  which  ended
also with a  SEGFAULT.   It  seems,  there  are  MANY  Packages  missing

Not to offend anyone here, but I would say, everybody is right here.

"Defaults" looks in my eyes, it  count  for  the  private  networks  10,
172 and 192.168 which is logic and the eleminating  of  the  IP  classes
concern only PUBLIC IP addresses  and  NOT  the  three  defined  private
ranges.  However anything which is below of this, has to  be  configured
in a proper way.

I assume, that the mean, AS LONG as you use standard configs e.g. Networks
with 256 IP addreses, then anythin work automatically...

Anything else require a MANUAL FULL CONFIGURATION

Thats true, but this is only for a standard config using e.g.

192.168.0.0
10.0.0.0

networks.  Since Media Converter (Ethernet-Fiber) cost only arround  65€
I decided to cable my whole BioFarm with arround 2500m to connect all my
sensors to the grid.  And no, Wifi  is  no  option,  because  there  are
criminals using Wifi Jammer and then the WHOLE network is for the ass.

However, the lead to the problem, that I need more then 256 IP addresses
and since I do not want to install my own  Linux  router  behind  my  3G
Gateway only to have 512 IP adresses or more, I decided to increaase the
network with 255.255.127.0. and if the IP is e.g. 192.168.4.12, then the
IP range become automatically 192.168.4.0-192.168.5.255.

Without Netmask it can not be guessed by any systems, that you have more
then 256 IP addresses.

Thankyou, it seems, people have forgotten for what it is.

Who do you mean?

I have als a network with

iface eth2 inet static

netmask 255.255.127.0

In some days will will have again this heatwave... around 0-3°C!

Ah, that it was, and yes, the "append" stuff is not shown, because
I have setuop in Lilo three startup methods (runlevel 2, 3 and 4)
but it is not shown in /proc/cmdline.

I have only

BOOT_IMAGE=Home ro root=802

So, there is something wrong with "append"

append="net.ifnames=0"

However, I can not find in /proc or /sys the Kernel commandline.
In the older kernels the file was named "comandline" but it is
not more there.

I was séarching for it, because I have to boot from LILO prompt in a
non-default runlevel by using

append="3"

but it does not boot into runlevel 3.  It is always the default 2.

I do not know, where the error is.

In case of problems with runlevel 2 I want to boot directly into
another one and also I have a runlevel which launch a very special
environment, which can not be done trough telinit and I do not want
to do this as root.

If I would say yes, it would install several 100 MByte more, which I
absolutely not want.  I have nearly all packages installed, which I also
had under Wheeze but Stretch is more then twice as bib as Wheeze.

The partition is 10 GByte big and I have only 1100 MByte left over.

Looks like I have installed Windows 10 light!

"fine tuning" is good, if you even don't know, what is missing!

apt does not tell me (Recommends/Suggests) that I need glib-x11 to get
something working, because even if you have Recommends/Suggests set to
no, apt-get show always what can be also installed together.

I have just extracted my "base install" into a chroot and tried to
install blueman but it does not suggest or recommend essential the
essential package to get blueman working.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Recommends/Suggests.

Normally our winter is colder up to -30°C (not very often, but it happen)

> How did you do that exactly? How do you get two DVDs ont one stick?

I was following the instructions from the Debian Website and downloaded
a Windows tool, which extract the content of an ISO image and copy it
bootable on the USB Stick.

The second DVD was copied into a subfolder DVD2/

I could boot from USB, installed the base and rebooted.
And now I could not more access the USB stick even if it was registered
in /etc/apt/sources.list because apt want to mount a DVD Rom and not an
USB Stick.

So, something is wrong in the install instructions

But it seems not to work under Stretch, because in the past I have
created from /var/cache/apt/archives a local mirror for other
installations.

Yes, it is up.

The problem since Jessie is, that my PostgreSQL instances (I have 4) and
the nfs mounts plus VPN are ALWAYS started before the network and exit
with errors.

I have to start ALL services by hand in order!

If PostgreSQL can not start, then NO USER can log into the systenm!

I do not know currently, except that blueman depends on  glib-x11  which
is confirmed by the maintainer.  It seems gthumb has the same dependency
because sinde blueman is working gthumb too.

The dependendies are only satisfait if you install a full DE like Gnome,
KDE or  other defaults by Debian.

If you install the bare minimum like

Debian base
xorg
wdm
fvwmg
thumb
blueman
alsa
mc

you have a non-working system!

yes, if you know, WHICH package you need, it can be installed manually
which is already confirmed by 3 Package  maintainers.   They  assumed,
that Debian User install always  a  complete  system,  but  where  not
thinking on users which do not need a full DE.

Hence, some packages missing dependencies.

I will install a second stretch in a VM and install only  the  minimum
and then Package by Package to  figure  out,  which  dependencies  are
missing.

It is a huge work, especially when I currently work in my 5,6ha forest
on my BioFarm in Estonia (-10°C and 30cm snow).

My T400 was under Windows 7 and had a "hardware" error which refuse to
burn ANY DVDs. So I installed the ISO bootable on the  USB  Stick  and
added the second ISO to it.

But it does not work.

Since my Interanet Server is also not running, I can not even install

Ethernet is not started at boot

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

I have installed on my ThinkPad T400 recently Stretch (base, xorg,  wdm,
fvwm, gthumb, blueman, alsa...) only to discover, that 17 Packages  have
missing Dependencies!

11 Packages are now working and I try to figure out, WHICH  depends  are
missing to write the appropriated Bug Reports.

However, I instaleld Stretch from an 8 GByte USB Stick and it  was  more
or less working, except that afterwards the  download  of  8 GByte  ISOs
and copying to the USB stick was worthless, because apt  can  not  mount
the USB Stick and install from there (after reboot)...

Note: Where I live (Estonia), we do not DSL and I am on GSM/LTE
  and the download has cost me 1/3 of my nmonthly contingent.
  Direct installing from the internet is no real option,
  because I have to install a WHOLE Network and it mean, I
  have to download 17 times 2,5 Gbyte

However, the Stretch installer had not accept at install time  my  fixed
IP addresds because it could not connect to   the  internet  and  I  was
forced to use DHCP which in  turn  is  not  allowed  to  connect  to  my
Intranet Server for security reason (SE_Linux)

Now  I  have  tried  to  change  this  to  a   fixed   IP   address   in
/etc/network/interfaces, but it showed no reaction, still  started  DHCP
even if it is not configured.

Note: I have network-manager is NOT installed!

/etc/default/networking is set to configure network at boottime.

But whenever I boot my computer, I have to login as root and run "ifup".

Can someone tell me, WTF is going on here?

Note:  I upgraded my broken (Display) Compaq CQ58 also to Stretch
   and I have no networking anymore.  Why is this?

Any hints welcome

I am now realy angry!

Thanks in advance

I use currently on my PanelPC xvkbd which is the last  crap  on  earth

Does someone know, whether the virtual keyboard from  Android  exist  as

Also it would be nice, if it can be activated  with  a  double-click  in
