Aan Paul van der Vlis. en ev. anderemn? Beste Paul, Ik word geconfronteerd met iets waarmee ik nog nooit te maken heb gehad. Een soort drietrapsraket aan beveiligingen voor website waarop ik dingen voor de rouwpraktijk van mijn vrouw pleeg te regelen. Inloggen gaat per certificaat: dat is ok. Vervolgens wordt een pincode plus ww gevraagd. Is ook ok. En dan, dat is (nog) niet ok, een 2FA beveiliging. Volgens mij zijn daar libpam module(s) voor nodig waarmee ik geen enkele ervaring heb. De website = VEZOZO (voor zorg en zorgverleners/instellingen). Mijn vraag: wil je als je wilt en kunt mij hiermee helpen? Zodat ik als vcanouds die website weer op kan? Hoop van je te 'horen' Je buurman, Steef (met de handen in het haar) E Casimirlaan7 -- debian_linux gebruiker sinds 1998

I finally realized that the "normal" progression / hierarchy of the Debian releases is from Unstable to Testing to Stable. I never looked it up -- I assume that, like most people, we don't look up everything but make assumptions based on past experience. I expected that the normal progression for Debian releases would be from Testing (trying all / any kind of new, possibly weird things), to Unstable (concentrating on things that survived some initial testing and now maybe being released to a select group for some real pounding en route to Stable. (I've never used anything other than stable releases, so my misunderstanding hasn't had any real world effect on my systems, but I have been confused at times, and suspect that maybe one other person out there may have similarly been confused.)

I actually started with Debian on my laptop. As a college student I was assigned a project that had to run on the school Linux cluster (RedHat 6.2, if I recall correctly). I installed RedHat on my laptop since I wanted something closer to that environment for my development work. It was a real pain. The "Red Hat way" seemed so convoluted. A friend who worked tech support in the CS department at school handed me a Debian install CD for Woody, which had just been released. Back in those days Debian's installer was notoriously difficult to use, so I did not manage to complete the installation. I asked my friend for help with the install and once I overcame that obstacle, I was all set. The first thing I noticed was that the "Debian way" seemed so much more sensible to me compared to the "Red Hat way". After that, I decided to set up Debian on a spare PC in the house and use it as a firewall/web server/mail server/etc. I have been trying to push Debian everywhere I go since. Now, before you go and think that I am biased, I will say that I am actually biased :-) I certified as a RHCE some years ago and I can honestly say that only highlighted to me how much more comfortable Debian feels in everyday use both on the desktop and on the server.

Re: Intel soundcard does not work

Re: choosing a web browser
Zenaan Harkness schreef: I need a sane webbrowser. Firstly, I'm not interested in rolling releases. In my experience, Firefox 3.6 was the pinnacle in browsers, in the days when Epiphany was also a fine option. Things appear to have gone downhill bigtime since then, as far as I can tell. Seeking something that is 100% libre, and supported in Debian Wheezy, to install and admin/maintain for Debian deployments which I do occasionally for friends and for a human rights association that I volunteer at (upmart.org). I have been unable to deploy anything for six months (besides time constraints, I am struggling with finding a modern desktop, voip client etc - but I don't want to hijack my own thread here...) What I've tried: * Iceweasel 10 LTS used for 6 months - I have been running wheezy/testing for 6 months, and about two weeks ago switched to sid/unstable - I can put up with various problems for an extended period of time, but I wish to reach deployability for others not technically versed as I am. Problems: every now and then, firefox causes a core or two to hit 100% for a couple seconds, causing the fan to spin up (and this, with no pages loading, animations stopped, no java, no javascript etc, only scrolling up and down a single tab/page - eg gmail static (my rural link too slow for javascript)) - this looks like a GC (garbage collection) type artifact, and is so obtrusive that I've decided it's a deal breaker. The following browsers I've been trying over the last day: * Midori (using now) Not showing the tabs Private browsing option doesn't remember settings (at least, I've tested proxy setting); tabs do not show at all - I've tried each binary Preferences setting for always display tabs, then restarting midori, but no joy. btw, midori -p does show it's tabs. Thankfully, CTRL-PgUp/PgDown does cycle amongst tabs, but not seeing them is a deal breaker. * Netsurf Has wacko keybindings: CTRL-PgUp/Down does not change tabs; CTRL-RightArrow/LeftArrow does change tabs (so when editing in a field eg writing an email, I cannot jump a word at a time, nor select a word at a time!); tab key does not include going from address bar to search bar/field; keyboard scrolling of page does not work well/ sometimes I can't seem to keyboard scroll at all; I had difficulty copying an email address off a page (no right click menu option for this). This keyboard firetruckery is a deal breaker. * Epiphany Epiphany. How I loved epiphany back in the days of Gnome 2 and Firefox 3.5, when I took a walk on the wild side of Ubuntu, and settled in on Ubuntu 8.04. Firefox 3.6 managed to provide enough reasons use it predominantly. Back to the present: Epiphany is not showing its toolbar icons; it has a whole menu bar with a single Web menu.

I did manage to get Debian installed, though it was through a side door that was opened by Debian Live. I'm grateful for that. I will continue to look for a Linux with which I can live. In private messages with some list members I advocated for focus testing. I now realize that this list *is* the focus test. That's too bad as I expect most of the list doesn't know or want that. Since this list is not attended by developers, I'll minimize my bandwidth load by being brief. Should anyone want my focus test conclusions regarding Debian, I'd be happy to document them, but lacking at least one request from a serious maintainer (or a developer if one should emerge), I'll not waste my time on something that doesn't have a ready and attentive audience. Also, if anyone has a suggestion on which Linux tribe I should join, I'd welcome it. I believe you all have my email address. I want a Linux system so I can remove networking from Windows XP. I don't trust Windows and when XP loses support next year, I'll be cut off. So I want to use Linux as a computer-hostable Internet appliance. Understand, that's the only use I will make of Linux, at least for the foreseeable future. I'll continue to use Windows XP for engineering and other projects, only as an isolated operating system without networking. I'd like to leave you with one reflection that may cause pause. If tomorrow Debian were to suddenly become twice as popular as it currently is, this list would be flooded by people exactly like me. Regards, Ciao, and Good Luck - Mark. Flooded with people who had trouble with the installer because they didn't read the documentation and start blaming everyone when they can't figure out why they couldn't install the system as a result? Most people who switch to Linux and have issues at least have an open mind about these things instead of approaching asking for help with hostility. Chances are, though, most people will be able to install Debian just fine if they take just ten extra minutes to RTFM, like you should have. And certainly would not hijack an entire mailing list for almost a week acting like everyone owes them an explanation for why *they* couldn't get the system to work, blaming the process, the developers, and the people who tried to *help* for your negligence in reading documentation or in providing and clarifying relevant details. I am curious how you intend to get Windows XP to use your Linux box as a gateway without networking. It still seems to me like you're still exposing the Windows XP box anyway.

Use a partition tool such as gparted or cfdisk to change the types of the partitions to something else, then you could reformat them as LVM physical volumes, or ext4 or another filesystem as you see fit.

(i still have a bsd distro on one of my hd's) so, allthough i am biased by the use of debian over many years, i think i kept enough objectivity to conclude that an interested any/somebody can install debian without any trouble at all and taste the richness of this distro. with the kindest regards, steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

hi camaleon and whoever buys/gets a canon 'all_things_do_thing':
this line should be put in /lib/udev/rules.s to be able to use the
mp280_scanner as user (not as root, which is automatic after installation)
with the command /usr/bin/scangearmp.

that is to say: xsane does not do the job up till now. but, as a stubborn
friesian, i will not give up.
Errr... steef, you have to test with the Canon scanning software
(scangearmp).
i did that and the scanner is working like a charm. sorry. i should have told
you that. the point is: i could not stand *not* to get xsane working
(i looked further gain into /var/log/dmesg. dmesg tells me the canon is

I can't tell with it does not work within xsane (my guess is that your
device is not directly supported by sane), but remember you have
installed a set of utilities from Canon to get your devie working so you
have to use Canon provided tools ;-)
as i wrote: the cannon tools work like a charm now.
thank you again very much for your support!

Greetings,
hi camaleon!
... well: thank you for this link. there is however a difference. as
superuser the linuxmintuser could get xsane to open the canon mp280
scanner_device. i could and can not.
further: the udev structure in the mint os is quite different from the udev
structure in squeeze.
so: this did not work out well. a pity, but i survive this (o irony). i looked
further at de sane_backend in /usr/lib/sane, the files in /etc but could
not find a solution up till now.
however: i thank you sincerely for the time you took to bow with me over this
problem. i do not dare to hope: but maybe you have still other ideas?? maybe i
should go to saruman? where did he go?
many regards,

seamonkey 2.9.1
hi list, up till now every version of seamonkey, since a grey far_away past, reproduced, when opened anew, exactly in the way i closed down my email-accounts. from version 2.9.x it shuts down automatically my four email-accounts, even if i leave them opened; when i close down seamonkey completely. in other words: when i close down seamonkey completely with the inboxes opened i refind them closed when i start up seamonkey again. it is not a great problem. however i wonder: is this a bug? is there somebody else with the same experience? regards, steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: When will Debian 7.0 with Linux Kernel 3.x be Released?
hi, what is the point? the so-called old 2.6. kernel does not differ much from the new 3.0 ones. so: be patient. wheezy-completed comes when ready. reg., steef Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) schreef: Hi, I am actually looking forward to Debian 7.0 with Linux Kernel 3.x. As we all know, Debian 6.0.x is still using the old Linux Kernel 2.6. When will Debian 7.0 be released? Debian with Linux Kernel 3.x release seems very slow when all the other Linux distros already have the latest Linux Kernel 3.x. Why do I want Linux Kernel 3.x? Because I want to play around with Xen virtualization (dom0 required). Debian developers, please speed up! I love Ubuntu and Debian Linux!!!

Re: Capslock mystery - Recent phenomena concerning keyboard
Harry Putnam schreef: Running Wheezy - kde plasma Running Debian / windows7 on a KVM switch (IOGEAR miniview 4 port DVI) Keyboard is from `Unicomp' and weighs about 10 lbs. Its not that old but is in the old style with serious stand up keys and lots of clatter when typing. I've been running thru this switch for several months and a different switch before that. I've been using the keyboard for a couple of years. All equipment has been in use a good while. I've recently started having a problem where the capslock comes on (seemingly randomly) but not the led that indicates its on. I'll be typing and suddenly I'm in caps and have to turn caps lock on (led comes on) to get back to lowercase. Even that doesn't really work, since numbers stay upper case to what ever symbols are the upper case for each (sometimes). I'm not sure if its related to debian though it did seem to start following a major update of pkgs. (No I didn't keep a list). The reason I say I'm not sure is that once it starts, even if I switch to windows 7 host through the KVM, its still stuck on caps. Googling on various strings, I see this problem coming up going way back but not particularly recently or on debian. After much fiddling, looking for stuck keys, unplugging/replugging KVM/keyboard it seems to go back to normal, but the last time I haven't been able to get back to normal so running with numlock and caps lock turned on to get lowercase, normal shift activity, and ability to type numbers. I've been running that way for 2 days this time around. And since it seems to have stabilized with capslock on and I quit trying to get it back to normal. This time the numbers are working normally too, with or without numlock, long as I keep capslock on. hi, know/knew the problem. please replace your keyboard woth a new one. reg., steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Just what does _DEBIAN_ mean by live
Richard Owlett schreef: I downloaded a 770MB file titled debian-live-6.0.3-i386-lxde-desktop.iso . Burned a DVD. Got some surprises : Inspite of http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#live-cd stating in part: Is a Debian live CD available? Yes. A so-called live CD, or more precisely, a live system, is a complete system prepared for a CD, DVD, USB key or other medium. _*You*_ do not need to install anything on the hard drive. Instead you boot from the CD or other medium and _*are able to start working on the machine right away*_. All programs run directly from the medium. Evidently start working right away means using an open office app. [a suite that is irrelevant for me] Not only is there no way to connect to internet, there is no app for configuring a possible connection to the internet. The second unkind surprise arrived when I popped the DVD into tray of an operating Windows(tm) machine after inviting me to blindly install. It triggered my browser bringing up README.txt which said in part: About This Disc === This disc is labeled Debian GNU/Linux squeeze-di-rc2 Squeeze - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 20110121-20:12 It contains programs (binaries) for `i386' computers. This disc is a _*netinst image*_. ! ? That's what Debian can do with 750MB ? There is massive communication failure as other links internal to debian.org lead to a netinst image of ~150MB. is this a troll/ are you trolling? steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Long introduction was required to fully understand the problematic. Okay, Google returned this: http://www.macrosystem.us/index.php?pr=S3000 i saw that one So I think your friend's appliance would be similar (maybe an older version). correct It seems to be a dedicated computer for managing (input/output) high ammounts of multimedia data which uses its own software for handling the files (import/export and editing operations). correct too The fact that your were able to reproduce the images but no sound it could indicate the files are using an audio codec not installed in your machine. well: the reality knows more nuances. the files i can reproduce do not produce environmental sounds. the files i cannot reproduce give one short image followed by coloured 'rubble' (is that the proper term ?) and some environmental sound. very funny indeed. What's the output of file run over one of those raw files? Are they video or just plain images? I ask this because sometimes, high-end multimedia systems split video files in separate chuncks of video and audio tracks for quick access and software manipulation. these video-files are spilt in separate files; on their turn split in separate chunks of about 7 or 8 GBs. mplayer opens them as raw files with the (ffmpeg) mpeg2 codes. my question: is there somebody out there who knows more of the casablanca 2000S and the software called bogart? I would also ask to the company tech support guys, they will provide more information about the raw format used by Casablanca, audio and video codecs, etc... my brother did. the dutch importer was of good will; his representatives too but they could not provide any help. the german chaps said bluntly they could and would not provide any help. (they seem only to be happy to help their own money-bags with opensource software). I'll provide you with the output of the mplayer-console somewhat later today. first i must startup our business again. tomorrow we start working all over in a new year.
