"Name or service not known" in Bookworm on Kubernetes
Hi, I'm running Debian on Kubernetes using the official Docker images [1]. In Bookworm, attempted connections to some internal domains fail with "Name or service not known". It works as expected in Bullseye. DNS lookups with `dig` and `host` work as expected, but most programs, e.g. `nc`, `telnet` and `curl`, fail. `getaddrinfo` fails to resolve the name (returns -2). The problem seems to occur only for domains managed by the DNS in the Kubernetes cluster. For example (with altered domain names): root@debian12:/# nc -zv dev.example.com 443 nc: getaddrinfo for host "dev.example.com" port 443: Name or service not known root@debian12:/# dig dev.example.com ; <<>> DiG 9.18.16-1~deb12u1-Debian <<>> dev.example.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24682 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ; COOKIE: d2bf261c4440a84d (echoed) ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;dev.example.com.

The configuration files /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/host.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/gai.conf are all identical in Bullseye and Bookworm, except for one line in /etc/hosts with the containers' own IP and hostname. I found no obviously interesting differences in the lists of installed packages (other than newer versions of almost everything, of course). It could be container/Kubernetes-specific. I don't have a similar DNS setup elsewhere to reproduce it. Any ideas about noteworthy differences between Bullseye and Bookworm w.r.t DNS, or what to try next to figure it out? Please CC me in replies. [1]: https://hub.docker.com/_/debian Regards, Robin

Thank you for your reply. reinstalling fetchmail is not the solution because on the next start the problem comes back and (I must be stupid) because despite all the ideas you give me I cannot kill the background process of fetchmail. The solution: purge fetchmail and install getmail6. Getmail6 works well, without complications. Thanks again. Gerard Created with Mutt 2.2.6-1 under Debian Linux BOOKWORM

What init system do you use? My problem is that I don't know what starts it. If I knew what started it I might be able to prevent it from starting. I never had this problem with bullseye.

The commands systemctl stop fetchmail.service systemctl disable fetchmail.service doesn't work. I had tried them before sending my message. I had tried sudo kill -9 ... without success either.

By reading the link https://wiki.debian.org/CpuFrequencyScaling more carefully I understood that the laptop-mode-tools package was concerned and I noticed that the laptop-mode-tools package is not installed in BUSTER and so I simply uninstalled it in BULLSEYE and now it's really OK. -- Gerard ___ *** Created with Mutt 1.13.2 under Debian Linux BULLSEYE ***

I am running debian sid and currently all video players the video freezes when I try to play a video. Also the KDE desktop will freeze until I change to one of the virtual terminals with CTRL-ALT-F? and then back to KDE desktop with ALT-F7. It will then work for a bit then freeze again. mpv - freezes, both audio and video stop. mplayer - freezes, video stops, audio continues. xine - freezes, video stops, audio continues. I have to use the kill command on them to close them. On mpv if I use -vo= xv or x11 it will work all others (vdpau, opengl, sdl, vaapi) freeze except for drm which gets the below error [vo/drm] VT_GETMODE failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [vo/drm] Failed to set up VT switcher.

I am running debian sid and currently all video players the video freezes when I try to play a video.

It will then work for a bit then freeze again. mpv - freezes, both audio and video stop. mplayer - freezes, video stops, audio continues. xine - freezes, video stops, audio continues. I have to use the kill command on them to close them.

DESKTOP_SESSION possibly not set correctly when using Cinnamon
Hi, While trying to install a script that detects which DE is being used by reading the DESKTOP_SESSION environment variable on a system running Cinnamon, I noticed it is set to "lightdm-xsession". This is causing the script to fail as it expects the value to be "cinnamon". There has been a similar bug raised for MATE here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775905 Is this also a bug in Cinnamon? Should I raise a bug report for it and if so what package should the bug be on? Thanks, Robin

If "Linux" is programmed to use a particular area of memory that makes it crash, then this is a software related issue, isn't it? Isn't there a log file somewhere that can confirm what the problem is, whether or not it is hardware related, or at least which package the crash is related to? //Robin Oberg

But seeing as it works fine to charge this old iPhone 4 in Windows, so it does not seem like a hardware malfunction in this particular case. Everything except the mouse just freezes, and no keyboard combination I can think of helps. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Esc, Super+Esc, Ctrl +Alt+Del... There is only one way out, and that's to hard-reboot everything (which my harddrive doesn't seem to enjoy). //Robin Oberg
Do not know which package bug is in
Hi! I'm new to Linux and Debian 8.3, but thought I'd help out by sharing this bug that I've found. My system crashes randomly when my iPhone is charging via USB, and every time that it happens I am forced to hard-reboot the laptop by holding down the power button. I don't know where in the system this bug could be located, what package it might be. And that's apparently a required thing to do know when one is reporting a bug. Any help would be appreciated. //Robin Oberg

upgrade from wheezy to jessie
Hello, usually when the distribution changes, I update my system rather than reinstall everything. But for the transition from wheezy to jessie, I would like to know: -1- Is it possible to go from wheezy to jessie, keeping sysvinit. -2- if not, from what I read on the internet, go from sysvinit to systemd is not without risk.

There's an awful lot of FUD spread on the internet (and, sadly, even on this list), mostly engendered by bigotry against the systemd author(s). My advice would be to go with the minimum effort upgrade, as you would have done in the past. I've been running Jessie in a KVM client for several months now, with zero problems. I agree with you regarding jessie, I installed it on a USB drive and it works fine with systend, but but what concerns me is the transition from sysvinit to systemd on wheezy.

If I understand what I read on the web (in English ...) it may be that my machine will not boot if I do not do the job well. The main issue is that anything local mounted in /etc/fstab (even removable drives) will be treated as essential, and if they are not there, boot will fail. The answer is either to remove any such drives from fstab, as the kernel automounting should be good enough now to do the job consistently, or to mark them as not being required for boot. The fstab syntax for systemd has been extended quite a bit. But yes, I moved three sid systems from sysvinit to systemd, the two simpler systems were fine, the much larger main workstation installation had sufficient minor problems that I felt it better to reinstall. Not something you want to do with a server. Ok, I got my feet wet : ~# apt-get install systemd-sysv --8-- You are about to do something potentially harmful.

Debian system as an internet security gateway
Hi list, I’ve got an embedded computer (Soekris Net6501) that I’d like to setup as a router / firewall system and small application server running Debian 7. As for the router part, I’m already familiar with most services I’ll need (DHCP + DNS server and iptables routing). This should provide me with a working internet gateway capable of doing NAT and port forwarding. The box has 4 ethernet ports. 3 of those will be used as LAN connections, and the 4th will be the WAN connection straight to the cable modem. However, I also intend to use this as a hardware firewall. So, it should be possible to somehow analyse web traffic such as HTTP for malicious code, such as viruses being downloaded to connected Windows machines. I know this can be done on individual files / folders using ClamAV, or even for things like mail using appropriate plugins. But is it also possible to scan web traffic in this manner? If so, what packages do I require? Also, it would be nice to have some kind of intrusion detection in place so that I know what is going on. I’ve heard of Snort before, however I have never used it… Is this a good tool to work with or are there other (better) methods out there? That’s it for now, I guess implementing those things for starters should provide a good basic security level for a home network! :-) Thanks for any replies / help.

You can allow anyone to come up and use the machine via the keyboard/mouse/VDU attached to it, but to counter the attack vector you mention, you simply lock the computer itself away in a secure cage under the desk. That also stops the security vector of someone simply picking up the machine and walking off with it ;) Sorry my mail was a bit terse.

http.debian.net hash sum mismatch
Has anybody else experienced problems over the last couple of days? Or is there a local fix I can apply? For ref: About http.debian.net Brought to you by Raphael Geissert, it aims to solve the problem of choosing a Debian mirror, among other issues. The redirector uses the geo and network location of the user and the mirrors, the architecture of the requested files, IP address family, the availability and freshness of the mirrors, and a few other things. It is constantly improved. The result: it selects the best mirror that can serve the file. Give the demonstration a try! If you are familiar with cdn.debian.net you should think of http.debian.net as a superior replacement.

I can set the settings from System Settings-Sound. The microphone-led on the device shows that the setting is changed on the device.

Setting up push syncing with a Debian mirror
Hi all, I am currently running a Debian (Wheezy) server which is hosted in a professional datacenter. The datacenter is located in Germany, and is directly connected to major backbones. As I do have loads of unused bandwidth and disk space, I’d like to contribute to Debian’s infrastructure by hosting and maintaining an Aptitude mirror. I’ve already set this up using the ftpsync scripts, and manual syncing already appears to work. However, I’d like to be able to utilize push syncing, however this requires an upstream mirror to connect to my server via SSH and issue a certain command. Is there any way of setting this up with an upstream mirror? The Debian Wiki page on the topic goes to great lengths in explaining how push syncing works technically, but is rather vague on how to arrange push syncing with an upstream mirror… If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I’d greatly appreciate that!

Re: Using the GPU on the Intel i7-477
Hi Darac, many thanks for your reply! According to https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/GPU_computing, the current BOINC should be able to detect and use your GPU just fine. Unfortunately, the website states that a connected monitor or VGA dummy plug is required for this to work… Since the server in question is hosted in a datacenter, I won’t be able to connect any of that. However, I might just try my luck anyways with the drivers... If it doesn't, you may need to install Intel's own graphics driver from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/. There are a series of files on the downloads page, and unfortunately my experience with graphics drivers is zero at this time… Do you happen to know which file is the one that I need and how I install it properly?

Using the GPU on the Intel i7-477
Hi all, I’ve got a server running Debian 7.1 Wheezy which uses an Intel Haswell i7-477 processor. This processor should have an on-board GPU that I’d like to use - first for scientific calculations using BOINC, and later for automated video rendering possibly. However, I don’t think Debian natively supports the GPU on that processor, so I was just wondering if someone on here could tell me how I can get any appropriate drivers / libraries for that?
