system stops

[BELAHCENE Abdelkader]

HI,
uname -a  gives
Linux mx 4.19.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.5-2~mx17+1 (2018-12-12) x86_64

Sometimes (maybe often) when I leave the system for a times without
touching it, when I come back, the system is frozen , juste the pointer of
mouse can move, but nothing else,  keyboard doesn't respond,  even
ctrl+alt+F1 , or F2,  ...
So the only  thing todo is stop button.
Here is some lines from messages (last line before the shutdown), hope that
someone can help me by reading this  log before the stopping system ( at

screen freezes when I try to log

[BELAHCENE Abdelkader]

Hi,
Sometimes the login thru the lightdm fails. That means I log but the screen
freezes and nothing happens, no login no desktop ( using the xfce4).
When I go to the terminal ( using   CTRL+ALT+F1 ), and I log using shell,
I can start the : startx -- :1,  and access to the graphical Desktop..
Where is the problem?  in lightdm or xfce4 ??
I install lxde  and want to log with lxde,  unfortunatly, there is no menu
in the lighdm login,  to choose the manager.
I am using linuxLite 3.8

a bug in apt-mirror ??

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi everybody

I 've written a bash script and 2 small python files,  to fix a problem I
found in apt-mirror. I don't know if I don't use correctly apt-mirror.
I give my problem  and the script which solve the problem.

before that I don't understand this error ???:

Use of uninitialized value $config{"options"} in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/bin/apt-mirror line 300,  line 17.

The problem:   When I run  the apt-mirror  it gives the size to download to
update my local repos

if I run it again it gives the same (or approxiamativl) size to download,
so noting is added to my repos, when I check I found many packages not
updated. Here is the example ( just a part of the output)
:
5.4 GiB will be downloaded into archive.
Downloading 231 archive files using 20 threads...
Begin time: Thu Jul  6 09:17:29 2017

[1]... [0]...
End time: Thu Jul  6 09:20:34 2017

4.5 MiB in 22 files and 0 directories can be freed.



just after that if run a get the same size to download

5.4 GiB will be downloaded into archive.
Downloading 207 archive files using 20 threads...

End time: Thu Jul  6 09:37:26 2017

4.5 MiB in 22 files and 0 directories can be freed


MYSOLUTION: maybe somebody wants to use  or improves them
I send in attached file 3 scripts : aptMirrorMod.sh ,
OfficialPackages.py  and  differences.py
The goal of them scripts is to determine the  packages which are different
in the local and remote mirror ( the size is different  or not installed at
all).
It is not necessary to check the checksum since the remote site (official)
is supposed correct.



I hope these programs will serve some people

Re: pdf file is not read correctly

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

I think it is an encoding problem.
When I open it  in embedde pdf reader in firefox, the a print it  as a pdf
file I get same problem,
but if I print it as a PS file, the problem is fixed and the display is
correct.
So the problem is in " pdf font" ?
by the way pdf uses  font?

thanks again

how to add a remote login to XDMCP Chooser in the login window

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi,

I want to log in a remote server using xdmcp from my local machine,
unfortunately there is no chooser in my local login (I use lightdm).
How to add a remote connexion to the list in local login window?
I remember 8 or 9 years ago, in the login window (may be with  xdm) there
was a remote login in the list.

thank

is there a firewall which blocks the connection

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi everybody,
I installed the latest release of linuxlite,
The  openssh-server is installed, i can access from the local machine via
ssh,  but not from a remote machine.
Something like a firewall blocks the connexion ???  the connection ??. I
didn't activate any firewall , I use it as I installed it.

I have the same problem with xrdp:   I can connect with rdesktop from the
local machine , but not from a remote one

for this reason I suspect firewall, if so hoe to disable it !!

Re: Re: how to force mysql to use the name of my machine instead of localhost

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Thanks for reply;
I give more details.
I install wordpress on my machine, it works fine on local,  I mean i if
write in the browser localhost/wordpress, it 's OK.

I can use myIP/worpress on a remote  machine to connect my server, It seems
working  fine, I get the main page,
BUT, CSS files are not read, I know that by prospecting the code source of
the page.

Wordpress store everything in database,  and so the name of the CSS file
for example, unfortunatly,  the path  used is full address of the file like
localhost/wordpress/blabla/style.css
here is the Big Problem

When the connection is local, no problem, since localhost is the host of
the server;

when the connection is  like :   http://myURL/wordpress,   we SHOULD FIND
the CSS file with  http://myURL/wordpress/blabla/style.css



 To solve the problem

   - either  we remove the absolute path for the files, and keep only  the
   relative part,  instead of storing  localhost/wordpress/blabla/style.css, we
   keep only wordpress/blabla/style.css
   - or we replace the localhost by the name of the machine or IP, that is
   what I want to do, I mean instead of storing in DB, localhost I tore the
   name of my machine like bela.enst.dz, the connetion w'll be done with
   this name and the problem is then solved

I used xampp to install apache, mysql and php. But the problem is the same
when I installed each element alone ( apache2, php, mysql)


when I used the command : localhost -f , I got the correct name
tmp$ hostname -f
bela.enst.dz

thanks a lot for any idea

Regards

Utilisation du nom de la machine et non pas localhost par mysql

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Bonjour tout le monde

J ai un probleme d'installation de mysql,
Il prend toujours le nom localhost bien j'ai donné, un nom a ma machine

hostame  --->  donne   G580
 hostname -f  --> G580.enst.dz

mais la connection dans mysql,   le nom utiliser dans la base et "localhost"

et cela me pose un gros probleme, par exemple quand j'utilise wordpress; a
partir d'une machine distante,  tous les liens vers les pages et articles,
sont precedés de localhost, et le brower localt ne peut pas traduire ce
lien en adresse ou encore les fichiers CSS inclus, ne sont plus alors
trouvés.


Question: comment forcer mysql, a utiliser un autre nom ( en interne du
serveur) autre que localhost.
J ai le meme probleme quand j'installe XAMPP par exemple.

merci de votre aide
bonne journée

how to force mysql to use the name of my machine instead of localhost

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

My  machine  has another name than localhost like lite.bela.umbb,
when I install mysql, it always takes the the localhost as the name of the
machine. this yields in a problem for me, when I use for example wordpress
and I want a remote connection.  because the localhost stored in DB is
irrelevant from a remote machine.

The question is : how to force mysql to use the name of my machine instead
of localhost  for mysql server

Thanks a lot

customize ligthdm manager

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi everybody,



I want to enter from a local machine using  lightdm manager,  to a
remote server
using XDMCP.

I do it with a thin client, I mean on a thin client I have the list of all
servers running XDMCP.
I  want to do the same,  from an old PC that I want to  use as a simple
terminal.

unfortunatly, in the login window I have only local accounts on my local
machine,

is it  possible to customize the login window of lightdm to allow access to a
remote server running XDMCP?
thanks for help

how to install amd64 instead i386

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi everybody,

I install  solydx (debian based ) Amd64.
I have a local mirror ( for amd64)  it works fine on one machine (pure
debian)

On solydx64,
when I tried apt-get update, it worked correctly fine  from  remote
repositoryserver,  but it  searched  for i386 in from local repository .
  here is  my source file  and errors

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

choose the date for the Release

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi,
I used apt-get mirror  to create a local mirror  ( for testing ),   it runs
fine,
but I have a valid-date problem.

I want to use my  mirror for more long time,
for example the release contains the lines

Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2014 02:49:54 UTC
Valid-Until: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 02:49:54 UTC

and then I can't update the system  after Tue, 14 Oct 2014

to do it I change the date of my computer, while I am upadeting,
but it is not  a good solution.

My question:  how to change the validity date,  in the apt-mirror ??

thanks for help

cleaning after apt-mirror

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi,
I created a local mirror for testing distro using apt-mirror.
the /var/clean.sh
The problem is when I ran it again, the old packages are still there,
the /var/clean.sh didn't clean the old version !!!???

so I wrote a script to clean it,  I attach my script.

I am not satisfied by my script.   I sorted the package in descending order
and kept the first and deleted  others.   this seemed correct,
unfortunately
some  packages are not in the good order when the word beta is used, so it
dropped the good and kept the bad.
especially when there is something like +b1_i386.deb
in
audacious-plugins_3.4.3-2+b1_i386.deb.

When there is no special  character like + and extra b1, no problem, just
with that  name, which is  I think ,   a temporary name.

please if anyone has a better script or idea, here are my script, I sort
with python3, cause shell didn't do the task well ??  the second with awk/

## sort.py   sort file in decrease  order
### filename  is read from the keyboard

aa=input(Give the filename to sort  : )
ff=aa.split()
for j in ff:
print (j)

for j in ff:
o=open(j, r);
a=o.readlines()
b=sorted(a, reverse=True)
out=j+T
f=open(out, w);
for i in b:
f.write(i)
f.close()
o.close()


#!/usr/bin/gawk -f
###   this script  keps just the first
###and deletes the others
#  when the first field is the same
###the name  ends  by the _
BEGIN  {
FS=_
t1=z
### we initialise the t1 to arbitary word not in the packages
### the file is suposed sorted in decreasing order
#  see the script  sort.py

}
{
if ( $1 == t1) {
print  I delete the file   $0
 system(rm   $0)
}
t1=$1
}

any idea is welcome, thank a lot
best regards

Re: Re: cleaning after apt-mirror

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

thanks for reply,
but the problem is

2) Have a version number less than the version in the Packages file.

look at these packages:

main/m/mutter/gir1.2-mutter-3.0_3.12.2-2_i386.deb
main/m/mutter/gir1.2-mutter-3.0_3.12.2-2+b1_i386.deb

the sort gives gir1.2-mutter-3.0_3.12.2-2_i386.deb more recent,

but in fact
gir1.2-mutter-3.0_3.12.2-2+b1_i386.deb  is more recent

old PC's as thin client

[Abdelkader Belahcene]

Hi,

why there is no login window in the panel controlin last distro (
for exampel linuxMinut : since mint 13 ) ??? .

with mint13, I solved my problem, but not with others, here is my Pb:
I want to use old PC's as thin client, to connect to remote machine
running XDMCP.


the XDMCP is activate on the servers,  so any one can acceed  from any
remote machine running linux (for example debian),   right?.

To check the xdmcp server  Xephyr -query localhost :1  gives the
window connection, which means that the XDMCP server runs crorrectly.

Now I am on another machine, which must be  used as a client  to login
in the server   provided that this client has an window login where
you  find  the list of  servers  to choose one of them.
On the old mint version ( like 13) we have in the login window
preferences a tab called  remote  where you can  add to the login
window   a remote connexion to get the list of the remote servers
XDMCP.

question:  how to add  a login window to the panel control ??


thanks for any help
Best regards

 Hi Abdelkader,

 If an alternative to XDCMP may be considered, you could use
 ssh for a remote X session:

 ssh -X user@remote-server

OK I solved the problem ,

2. I create  new Release  file with apt-ftparchive  --md5 --sha256

3.  gpg --armor --output  Release.gpg --detach-sign Release

how to login without passwd from remote thin client

good morning,

I disactivate the password,
 ( I remove x from /etc/passwd  like  geopp13::1038:1039 and
geopp13::15833:0:9:7:::  in /etc/shadow)

 in order to log in without typing a password.

from the terminal  connected directly to the computer, it works fine,
 but  from a thin client ( via XDMCP)   it continues to ask for the password.

Is it possible to fix the problem.

I want a connection directly from thin client by typing just the login.

thaks for help

probleme de Connexion de client leger avec le serveur

[abdelkader belahcene]

Bonjour,

J ai installe la squeeze stable 6.0.7 64 bits sur un serveur,
la connexion a travers le xdmcp fonctionne bien sans probleme.
Malheureusement certains logiciels sont anciens ( par exemple gnuplot ,
lyx, ...), j'ai donc fait
la mise a jour avec le depot wheezy et la il y a probleme.
La fenetre de login sur client leger apparait puis disparait toute de suite
apres, avec erreur sur client leger
pour les entrees je crois qu'il y a incompatibilite avec le xfree86 et les
clavier /souris ??!!

Pourtant c'est le xorg qui est utilise dans la squeeze aussi.


Bien j ai decide alors d'installer la linuxMint LMDE de mars

Presque meme probleme, pourquoi presque, car la fenetre de login ici je la
recois, mais des que je touche le clavier et parfois aussi la souris et
vlan, la fenetre disparait.
Dans le fichier de log sur le serveur :
 Warning: Type ONE_LEVEL has 1 levels, but RALT has 2 symbols
 Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

Ce n'est pas tout: a partir d'un PC normal le connexion s'etablit sans
probleme !!! Les clients legers sont un peu ancien : neoware 2007.

Pourtant la version ancienne de linuxmint ( de juin 2012 ) ne pose pas de
probleme.

Est ce qu'il y a un bug dans les dernieres versions de xorg ??

encore une chose:   le message sur client leger est : ne trouve pas
/dev/mouse1 ?

quelqu'un a une idee ??

merci pour votre aide.
bonne journee

connexion problem to thin client

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hello,

I ve installed the stable squeeze 6.0.7 64-bit on a server,
connection through the xdmcp works well without problem thin  client.
Unfortunately some old software (eg gnuplot, lyx, ...), so I did
the update with wheezy depot and there problem.
The login window appears on thin client then disappears right away
after with error on thin client
I think there is  incompatibility with xfree86 and keyboard / mouse?!
This is my first idea.

But   xorg is already  used in the squeeze too.


After that  I decided to install linuxmint LMDE last release March2013

Almost same problem, why almost because the login window I receive it
here, but when I touch the keyboard or  the mouse  the window
disappears.

In the log file on the server:
 Warning: Type ONE_LEVEL has 1 levels, aim RALT has 2 symbols
 Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

That's not all:
from a normal PC establishes the connection without problem! The Thin
Client is a little old: Neoware 2007.


The  older version of linuxmint (June 2012) runs correctly ??!!

Is there a bug in the latest version of xorg?   xkbcomp is the package
: x11-xkb-utils

someone has an idea?

thank you for your help.
good day

serial connexion between 2 machines failed

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hi,
I wrote 2 programs in C  to read from  a serial port and to write in.

When I used  one machine,  nullmodem ( output and input) the program ran
correcly,  I wrote caracteres then I read them from the same port. ttyS0
for example.

they ran correctly   when I used a machine with 2 serial ports ttyS0 and
ttyS1,  so I send  from one port to another.

When I tried  the same programs   from one machine using   a crossed  cable
( This is what I have to done  the output of one machine is an input for
the other),  it failed  I have to wait very long time, may be for ever 

I remember  I didn't once or twice yesterday,  but after that no connection.
Is there a special configuration, activation  or else ???

(on both machines I am using linuxMint, is there  any relation  with the
distro ??)

thanks a lot

destination port changes every time

[abdelkader belahcene]

*Hi,
I wrote a client/server  programs,   the server listen on port 5000   and
of course the client connected on that port , I check the communication via
the sniffex.c program from pcap (adapting something) ,   I noticed that
destination port ( used by the client)  is not always the same and
completely different from the source port.
Here is an output example:

Device: loFilter expression: ip
Packet number 1:
   From: 127.0.0.1
 To: 127.0.0.1
   Protocol: TCP   The client send a request
   Src port: 49611  The port is randomly choosed  by
the client ??
   Dst port: 5000

Packet number 2:
   From: 127.0.0.1
 To: 127.0.0.1
   Protocol: TCP--- The answer from the server
   Src port: 5000
   Dst port: 49611

When I stopped the client and ran it again I  got another Src port from the
client
The question is : why the port opened by the client is not the same, and
takes one randomly ??

Hi,
are you using network-manager, in this case the serveur automatically retry

Re: Re: installing debian from USB... IS IT POSSIBLE?

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hi,
I haven't checked it   but I may  be installed on USB.

I installed   ubuntu and other  live distro  from usb , by using unetbootin.

So if you use inetbootin to install   the iso ( regular CD1 iso)  to usb,
then reboot from the usb   and   you can install   on hard disk thru this
usb. We must to check it.

I have installed  debian and other ubuntu  on usb hard disk, (extern HD),
and I can reboot fron the usd HD,   even the PC doesn't contain any linux
system.
 It  is a good idea  to have a system on an extern  HD,  you canrun
linux on machine running just window$  for example, by booting from your HD.

it seems that libqt4-core  doesn't contains  the require lib  which is in

one must uses  libqt4core4  which is different. Unfortunatly on debian6,
there is not such file in stable,  it was,  but now just on sid !!!,

is it a debian or  a lyx developpement  lack ??

linux on windows

[abdelkader belahcene]

Hi,
I have 2 pbs:

I have installed for a friend of me,  ubuntu on windows, (ubuntu has this
option). I lost the password, and tried to fix it, so I tried booting from
CD, to fix the problem as usual, (I mean  mount HD, and chroot ). There
is no  linux partition visible, just the ntfs partition, ( in fact the linux
partition ???!!! if any is in the ntfs partition!!).
any idea to fix it.

Re: Re: Re: where is the gdm.conf

* thanks
that is the problem,  no gdm.cong on centos,  since it is working, the file
exits elsewhere, may be with another name.
thanks again
