removing gdb-minimal removed plasma-desktop?
Short version: "apt remove gdb-minimal" seems to have also removed plasma-desktop + a bunch of related packages. Curious if there are any good debugging tips for figuring out what happened here. Or maybe I'm missing something obvious about how apt works, and this is expected behavior? Yesterday, I was trying to use gdb, and realized I had gdb-minimal installed instead of the regular gdb package. To fix this, I first ran "apt remove gdb-minimal". My assumption was that I then would have to run "apt install gdb". But turns out that invoking "gdb" after running "apt remove gdb-minimal", I had the full version of gdb installed. I didn't think more about it, went on using gdb and later shut down the computer. When I booted it today, a different display manager than what I usually have was shown. Switching to a different pseudoterminal and checking "/var/log/apt/history.log" showed that when I had removed gdb-minimal, for some reason plasma-desktop and some other packages had also been removed. This is the entry I saw: Start-Date: 2024-01-13 15:52:49 Commandline: apt remove gdb-minimal Requested-By: morten (1000) Install: gdb:amd64 (13.1-3, automatic), libsource-highlight-common:amd64 (3.1.9-4.2, automatic), libboost-regex1.74.0:amd64 (1.74.0+ds1-21, automatic), libc6-dbg:amd64 (2.36-9+deb12u3, automatic), libbabeltrace1:amd64 (1.5.11-1+b2, automatic), libsource-highlight4v5:amd64 (3.1.9-4.2+b3, automatic) Remove: kinfocenter:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2), plasma-workspace:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2+deb12u1), plasma-widgets-addons:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2), plasma-workspace-wayland:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2+deb12u1), sddm-theme-breeze:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2+deb12u1), sddm-theme-debian-breeze:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2+deb12u1), gdb-minimal:amd64 (13.1-3), kde-plasma-desktop:amd64 (5:142), plasma-desktop:amd64 (4:5.27.5-2) End-Date: 2024-01-13 15:52:52 (Looks like this is where regular gdb got installed too, so I didn't actually have it, it just got autoinstalled when I removed gdb-minimal?) (Also, probably this info got printed when I ran "apt remove gdb-minimal", and I was not paying attention.) To fix it, I ran this command and rebooted with "systemctl reboot", which seems to have worked fine.

Why not? Don't you know when you are corresponding on a mailing list or not? You only need to switch between 'r' and 'L'. And if some person on a mailing list in rare cases specifically request a CC, then you also have to remember 'g'. That is not too hard to manage? > The solution I advocate does not have this issue.

Since you are using Mutt, all you need to do to be well behaved (i.e. not send personal CCs) is to hit 'L' when you reply, then you will only reply to the debian-user list. Debian mailing list headers include a "List-Post" header that Mutt autodetects. For other lists you can use the "lists" directive in .muttrc to achieve the same effect. Morten

Re: Locale-related questions
Nicolas,
OK. I don't know exactly what I'm talking about here as you can see. :)
I'm writing an XML parser/writer/simple DOM, which will input and output
primarily in UTF-32.
This program outputs some information to stdout in the testing process,
and this is also UTF-32 (internally a character is an integer >= 32 bits).
I tried now to use putwchar:
putwchar((wchar_t) buffer[index]);
And the output is the same as if had used
printf("%c", (char) buffer[index]);
That is, non-ASCII characters are garbled.
All the locale settings except LC_ALL are en_US.UTF-8, LC_ALL is empty.
What I'm looking for is a cross-platform way to output some data, to aid
in the testing process. Reading and writing from files will probably be
binary and handled internally in the program.

It was dselect some time ago which could do it too as I know, but now it seems to be dead. BTW, it provides with good capabilities for searching through packages. Remember that aptitude has evolved quite a bit. The scenarios that you and some others describe are not necessarily pertinent anymore. When you use phrases like fond memories, please state how old these memories are ;). Any package manager, needless to say, is wholly dependent on the metadata in the packages, so if these are not sensible, they may come up with rash solutions. The great thing about aptitude (to me) is that it is so easy to leaf through broken packages, using the 'b' key in the curses interface, and then examine what the matter is with each package. Most often, I find that I can solve dependency problems by simply not upgrading one or more packages. You do that easily by typing 'v' on a broken package and then typing '+' on the already installed version. If using the resolver instead, the solution presented is often to remove the package or some other package. For instance, at the moment the package xul-ext-greasemonkey is marked as upgradable on my system, but the package's metadata has Iceweasel in a non-installable version as a dependency. Aptitude wants to remove xul-ext-greasemonkey and apt-get wants to remove Iceweasel. None of these solutions may be what you want, so simply keeping xul-ext-greasemonkey in the already installed version is an alternative that the command line solutions in the two package managers do not present the user.

Re: Using wget to fill in a form

The problem is I can't figure out how to submit the form from the command line. I figured wget would be the best way, but everything I try results in downloading a single line that reads Your form didn't include an ACTION! So I thought I would turn to here for help. The test ISBN I am using is for The Linux Cookbook: 1886411484, QA76.76.O63S788 2001. There are several urls on loc.gov that will retrieve book information from an ISBN.

And a related side question. From my reading, I've learned that the Z39.50 protocol is used to query databases, usually library related. Is anyone aware of an ISBN database table that can be downloaded by the user, preferably in a format that can be imported into MySQL or PostgreSQL? Probably, but I suppose the output is very standardized and then you can easily convert it to csv-format or something.

Re: No sound with new install
Nick White nick.wh...@durham.ac.uk wrote:
I installed Debian last week (for the first time), and things
generally went very nicely.
One thing which isn't yet working though is sound.
I did an installation of a Wheezy-system about a month ago and ran into
the same problem: No sound. I did not take notes as to how I got sound
working (I am rather impatient with these kind of problems), but to my
recollection, it ran along these lines:
At some point (not during the installation but later) I got an error
message informing me that the file:
/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf
was obsolete (or something to that effect), I then renamed the file:
$ sudo mv /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf.org
and thereafter I did:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
and actually I think that solved my problem at that point. You could try
renaming or deleting the above mentioned file and see if it does not help
you.
However, sometime later, sound once again stopped working (for whatever
reason I do not know). I then proceeded to delete all packages related to
pulseaudio, leaving me with only alsa sound packages.
I ran:
$ aplay -l
List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices
card 1: Aureon51MkII [Aureon5.1MkII], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
to find out what number my sound card had (it was number '1').
I then put these two lines into $HOME/.asoundrc:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1
(you should replace '1' with '0' in the above two lines)
and then
$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
and bingo, sound has worked for me ever since.
I do not know if it will solve your problem, as it seems you have other
issues, but try it and then run the speaker test mentioned elsewhere in
this thread.
Obviously your sound cards output channel must not be muted. You open it
up with a sound mixer, but I did note that you could not run that. Try
and google for the error message that you got in regard.
Regards,
Morten

scsi device files not created when called for
Hi, My scanner suddenly stopped working. It is connected through firewire and when I turn it on, the firewire devices are created: ~/ % dmesg | tail -6 [ 8377.031246] firewire_core: phy config: card 0, new root=ffc1, gap_count=5 [ 8377.529022] scsi7 : SBP-2 IEEE-1394 [ 8377.529102] firewire_sbp2: fw1.0: 127s mgt_ORB_timeout limited to 40s [ 8377.529108] firewire_core: created device fw1: GUID 484ee815, S400 [ 8377.728590] firewire_sbp2: fw1.0: logged in to LUN (0 retries) [ 8377.729957] scsi 7:0:0:0: Processor EPSONGT-X900 1.06 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 My Epson scanner is thus recognized. However, the scanner is also being attached to a scsi device, but the scsi device files are not being created automatically under /dev/ which means that xsane will not see it. When I ran: ~/ % sudo modprobe sg manually, the scsi device files are created as /dev/sg0 etc. and my scanner now works again with xsane. I could load the sg module from /etc/modules, but I do not think it should be necessary.

problem with debian lenny 503 netinstall
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Dear debian users,
again I tried with debian lenny 503 netinstall.
first problem was printing.
It issued something like kerneloops.
I accepted so the message may be sendt to kerneloops.
I was able to print a cups test page.
On previous versions of debian, I think 500
printing was not a problem.
The next problem I'm likely to face is when new updates are offered.
that chrashed my system.
I can try to send a succesfull install report. Also with the cups or
printing debug message.
I like this paper and try to follow the steps as suggested here:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/
http://debian-community.org/lennyfaq/
http://www.doviak.net/debian/debian_install_guide.pdf
is a nice guide howto install Lenny.
This FAQ needs your questions and answers !
I can also try the older version of debian, which had everything right
on the fly.
debianlenny503 is difficult for me currently, and the
linux penguin noticed something strange about the kernel.
It still may be a user error. Debian may have new features which
operates different than what I'm used to.
Question: is this known? How can I troubleshoot this?
except dmesg lspci and the troubleshoot.txt ?
Sincerely yours,
Morten Gulbrandsen

Problem with speedstepping on 2.6.18, 1.8Ghz dell d400 with only run 600MHz
Hi I have the problem that I can only get my Dell D400 1.8GHz computer to run 600Mhz. It boots at 600Mhz by default (found by cat /proc/cpuinfo) and I thought that speedstepping would get it running at full speed. But even after modprobe speedstep-centrino and running cpufreqd it stays at 600 Mhz. cpufreq-info gives: CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 hardware limits: 600 MHz - 1.80 GHz available frequency steps: 1.80 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.40 GHz, 1.20 GHz, 1000 MHz, 800 MHz, 600 MHz available cpufreq governors: ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 600 MHz. The governor performance may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 600 MHz (asserted by call to hardware). I have tried echo 180 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq but no matter what I do I always end up with: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 60 Something is changing the scaling_max_freq value back to 60 and thus the cpu stays at 600Mhz :( I cannot create a file anywhere in the /sys/ directory, I get a permission denied but I am not sure it this is nominal or releated.

This script handles downloading, compiling kernelmodule and also configures your system, so after you have run it everything should be OK! (It has to be started from textmode, and if you have X running it will kill it, just a heads up).

Re: LVM2 and custom kernel
Which kernel are you compiling? Is it a debian kernel or a vanilla one from kernel.org? What version of debian are you running? What bootloader are you using? Do you have the lvm2 package installed? I'm trying 2.6.15.7 now, from kernel.org. This is debian unstable, with GRUB, and yes, I have the LVM2 packages installed. I have the initrd image in /boot, so everything *seems* fine, but I still get the error with my custom kernel. When i boot 2.6.16 (from debian), everything is just fine. I have enabled Multiple devices driver support and Device mapper support, do I need to enable something else? - Morten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

LVM2 and custom kernel
Hi there, I'm trying to build a custom kernel, and everything works except LVM2. When the kernel is booting, and the lvm-script is trying to mount the discs, it gives me a kernel-panic. I have googled it a bit, and I tried adding --initrd to make-kpkg, but that didn't work. I also tried adding mkimage=/usr/sbin/mkcramfs %s %s to /etc/kernel-img.conf, but no luck.

Det har intet med mig at gøre. Har du onde hensigter er det nemt at skaffe nummeret uanset (fordi det aldrig har været hensigten at hemmeligholde det!). Så hvad jeg primært opnår ved at hemmeligholde nummeret er at hjælpe til at bevare illusionen om at nummeret er en hemmelighed. Det er jo noget vrøvl. Personnummeret er da en hemmelighed. Det står da ikke i nogen offentligt tilgængelige registre, og hvis det gør er det en fejl. Dermed er det lige så meget en hemmelighed som alle mulige andre oplysninger om dig som ikke er offentligt tilgængelige, f.eks. hvor meget du betaler i skat. At du så selv vælger at offentliggøre oplysninger, er jo noget helt andet. Det er oven i købet en ret dyb hemmelighed: du kan ikke skaffe dig oplysning om mit personnummer, medmindre nogen uretmæssigt og tilfældigt udleverer det til dig. Mit navn derimod kan du bare spørge naboen om. Dørhåndtag åbner også op til alskens ting - det gør dem ikke til hemmeligheder. Jeg synes netop analogien holder fordi du i et vist omfang kan kontrollere hvem der kender din alder og dit mellemnavn - men også kun i et vist omfang, for oplysningerne er ikke designede til at være hemmelige, så andre kan komme til at afsløre dem ved eksempelvis at skrive dem så de kan ses i ruden af en rudekuvert. Jeg gik engang i klasse med en som kaldte sig A.J. - tilfældigt så jeg en dag klasselærererns afkrydsningsskema at han hed Anker Jørgensen og jeg kan egentligt godt forstå hvordan han ikke havde lydt til at servere et oplagt mobbe-emne (uden at jeg i øvrigt har noget imod vores tidl. statsminister). Men jeg kan også forestille mig en del situationer hvor han ikke selv er herre over lanceringen af hans navn - f.eks. opråb i lægens venteværelse. Modsat navn og alder er der en vis konsensus i Danmark for _diskretion_ med CPR-numre. så måske en bedre analogi er hårfarve - altså om hun er ægte blond eller ej (selv hos lægen hives trusserne ikke af ude i venteværelset), eller om han går med toupé. I think you lost me there. Jeg kan ikke udnytte et mellemnavn på samme måde som jeg kan udnytte et personnummer, så jeg forstår slet ikke hvor du vil hen. Der er forskel på diskretion og hemmeligheder. Adgangskoder er strengt personlige, dvs. hemmelige. PIN-koder udstedes maskinelt, og du skal aldrig - heller ikke til sin bankrådgiver - udlevere det. CPR-numre håndteres med diskretion, men er ikke hemmelige. Dine selvmodsigelser er rørende. Kernen i diskretion er da hemmelighed - hvis det diskretionen omfatter er almen viden, er der jo intet grundlag for diskretion! Du bestemmer ikke om min postadresse er en fortrolig oplysning, det gør jeg. Der er faktisk en del mennesker der har adressebeskyttelse som kan opnås både i forhold til folkeregistret og postvæsenet (kvinder der søger skjul fra voldelige ægtemænd). Problemet i din argumentation er at du blander nogle formelle forvaltningsretlige betragtninger om tavshedspligt sammen med nogle mere almene betragtninger om hvilke oplysninger der er personfølsomme, og du synes at sætte lighedstegn mellem forvaltningslov og personfølsomhed. Sådan er virkeligheden dog ikke. Det du saksede væk var at man i mange situationer bare kan klare sagen med et CPR-nummer. Naturligvis kan du ikke få oplyst en adresse baseret på CPR-nummer hvis der udfor den oplysning står en note om at den oplysning må ikke udleveres. Du skrev at en postadresse ikke er en personlig oplysning, og som sagt bestemmer jeg om min postadresse er personlig. CPR-nummeret er et redskab til at identificere mig. Hvis politiet, kreditkort-udbydere eller andre fejlagtigt håndterer det som et redskab til at autentisere mig, så har jeg retten på min side ved misbrug. Men hvorfor udsætte sig selv for det? Det er det jeg ikke forstår. Jeg har ikke noget at skjule - så hvorfor ikke? Måske fordi verden ikke er som den burde være ..?

How to change a symlink without breaking anything (problems with g++)
Hi, this is probably a newbie question, but I didn't see it covered in any of the FAQs or HOW-TOs I found at debian.org/docs/ (and the list search facilities seems quite sloppy, and I had no luck there either): What is the correct manner of changing a symlink file belonging to a Debian package? Is it sufficient to just rm and re-link, or should I use any of the package-handling tools? (In case someone is interested, I'm asking because I just stumbled over a surprising issue with the g++ packages: doing an # apt-get install g++ installed g++-3.3 (I was expecting just an upgrade to the previously installed g++-2.95), and made /usr/bin/g++ into a symlink pointing to it. Just switching g++ versions like this is bound to cause mayhem for all development against any C++ libraries on the system already compiled with g++ v2.95, so I'm surprised that this happens just like that from the testing branch..? Removing the g++-3.3 package doesn't work either, as apt-get seems to now refuse to remove or install _either_ g++-2.95 or g++-3.3 -- it insists on having both?

Description: Select the XFree86 server modules that should be loaded by default. It is possible to customize (or completely omit) the list of modules that the X server loads by default. This option is for advanced users. In most cases, all of these modules except xtt should be enabled. . The GLCore and glx modules enable software OpenGL rendering. The dri module enables support in the X server for Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). Note that support for DRI must also exist in the kernel, the video card, and the installed version of the Mesa libraries for hardware-accelerated 3D operations using DRI to work. Otherwise, the server falls back to software rendering. . The vbe and ddc modules enable support for VESA BIOS Extensions and Data Display Channel, respectively. These modules are used to query monitor capabilties via the video card. The int10 module is a real-mode x86 emulator that is used to softboot secondary VGA cards. Note that the vbe module depends on the int10 module, so if wish to enable vbe, enable int10 as well. . The dbe module enables the double-buffering extension in the server, and is useful for animation and video operations. . The extmod module enables many traditional and commonly used extensions, such as shaped windows, shared memory, video mode switching, DGA, and Xv. The record module implements the RECORD extension, commonly used in server testing. . The bitmap, freetype, speedo, type1, and xtt modules are all font rasterizers. The freetype and xtt modules should not be enabled at the same time, as they are incompatible. The freetype module should be used for Western languages and anti-aliased font support; the xtt module should be used for East Asian character set support (specifically, for CID-keyed fonts). . For further information about these modules, please consult the XFree86 documentation. . If you unsure what to do, leave all of the modules enabled except xtt. Advanced users may wish to disable all modules -- in which case no Modules section will be written to the X server configuration file -- and add their own Modules section to the file manually.
