Diffing .po files
[Sorry for the cross-post. Please follow-up as you see fit and I'll
summarize for the other list. No need to CC me as I'm subscribed to both
lists]
Hello,
While (trying to) review changes to a large .po file with relatively few
strings changed I started looking for some way to show only the changed
strings, or at least find a way to easily spot them out.
Google searches have so far found only
http://markmail.org/thread/zyxbczw6haro6bmk#query:po%20diff+page:1+mid:a5ym75hv2vztkmde+state:results
which seems to talk about some GUI tool. My goal is to do this in text
only, because I want to paste (parts of) the output in e-mail.
Since I didn't find anything suitable I started patching together a .po
syntax highlighting that includes wdiff highlighting. The problem I'm
seeing right now is that wdiff will include " (double quotes) *inside*
its markers, thus breaking the .po highlighting:
[-#, fuzzy-]
msgid "Exit installer"
msgstr "Părăsește programul de [-instalare demonstrativ"-] {+instalare"+}
I was expecting something like this:
[-#, fuzzy-]
msgid "Exit installer"
msgstr "Părăsește programul de [-instalare demonstrativ-] {+instalare+}"
same thing happens with other punctuation:
[-#, fuzzy
#| msgid "Choose a locale:"-]
msgid "System locale:"
msgstr [-"Alegeți o localizare:"-] {+"Locale sistem:"+}
My guess is wdiff uses spaces as word delimiter, but the man page is
silent about this and web searches also didn't turn up anything.
Any hints or other ideas how to fix this?
Regards,
Andrei

It actually even makes sense to keep local repositories all without location lines, so svn logs will be also clean.

Postfix, SASL and LDAPDB
Hey guys, I want to set up SASL authentication using LDAPDB, but it seems that postfix connects to LDAP but doesn't send anything to it... I try to authenticate using 'auth plain ', and I receive : 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure Connection to LDAP works fine at the network level, but the only thing that postfix send to Slapd (sniffed using tcpdump) is a "UNBIND" request. Confirmed by the logs of slapd: May 18 17:25:29 samchiel slapd[1431]: conn=35 fd=17 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:57368 (IP=127.0.0.1:389) May 18 17:25:29 samchiel slapd[1431]: conn=35 op=0 UNBIND May 18 17:25:29 samchiel slapd[1431]: conn=35 fd=17 closed Postfix says the following: May 18 17:25:29 samchiel postfix/smtpd[12094]: < localhost[127.0.0.1]: auth plain X May 18 17:25:29 samchiel postfix/smtpd[12094]: xsasl_cyrus_server_first: sasl_method plain, init_response X May 18 17:25:29 samchiel postfix/smtpd[12094]: xsasl_cyrus_server_first: decoded initial response May 18 17:25:29 samchiel postfix/smtpd[12094]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed May 18 17:25:29 samchiel postfix/smtpd[12094]: warning: localhost[127.0.0.1]: SASL plain authentication failed: authentication failure May 18 17:25:29 samchiel postfix/smtpd[12094]: > localhost[127.0.0.1]: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure So, I assumed there might be something wrong with my configuration. Since I'm on Debian Squeeze (for testing purpose), I have a /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf that contains the configuration of ldapdb: # cat /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: auxprop auxprop_plugin: ldapdb mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN ldapdb_uri: ldap://localhost ldapdb_id: postfix ldapdb_pw: ZZZ ldapdb_mech: DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN LOGIN and sasl directives in main.conf # grep smtpd_sasl main.cf smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes Did I miss anything ? Any clue on why postfix doesn't send anything but an UNBIND request to LDAP ? Thanks, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Gnome not working anymore?
Howdy y'all, I really don't want this to be a useless mail like "x doesn't work. it worked. it works in $distro. make it workoneone", so I'll try to make it as usable as possible. 1.

Not really well versed in this, but: What kernel do you use before the upgrade, is it the 2.6.33-2-amd64?? Obviously the upgrade broke the system somehow. Maybe broken dependencies?

I don't know what is causing grub-pc to get pulled in. Does adding "--show-deps -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=true" to the command-line give you any more information about what's requiring it?

It probably won't help, though. If grub-legacy was unused, it would
say "grub-legacy{u}". Instead it says "grub-legacy{a}", indicating that
it was forced off the system by a conflicting package.

I see... I now think placing pointer to FAQ should be good idea to explain all these issues. I need to think think about the context of these. This was in section describing "archive".

So I am updating as: TIP: If "`sid`" is used in the above example instead of "`...@-@codename-sta...@-@`", the "`deb: http://security.debian.org/ ...`" line for security updates in the "`/etc/apt/sources.list`" is not required. This is because there is no security update archive for "`sid`" (`unstable`). NOTE: The security bugs for the `stable` archive are fixed by the Debian security team. This activity has been quite rigorous and reliable. Those for the `testing` archive may be fixed by the Debian testing security team. For several reasons, this activity is not as rigorous as that for `stable` and you may need to wait for the migration of fixed `unstable` packages. Those for the `unstable` archive are fixed by the individual maintainer. Actively maintained `unstable` packages are usually in a fairly good shape by leveraging latest upstream security fixes.

When the security team has the resources to pay attention to testing (perhaps during the freeze?), they are about on par with each other. Stable+security is, of course, the best but the versions of the software available there may not be sufficient for your needs. Using backports doesn't help here -- security updates to backports are done is roughly the same way security updates to Sid are. > * What dees security team do and ensures? The security team is responsible for preparing new package versions for stable and oldstable, since it is rarely appropriate for security upgrades to be delayed until the next point release. They follow Debian policy on this and no not package new upstream versions, but instead cherry-pick and backport the patches required to fix the issue. Some upstream projects make this difficult, and in rare cases those packages will be "abandoned" by the security team. AFAIK, there's no list of these packages available, you have to monitor the security-announce mailing list to be notified. In addition, the security team is responsible for preparing the Debian Security Advisories (DSAs) that are sent to the security-announce list when a security vulnerability is identified and fixed. Besides providing on-time notification of fixes, this also ties the vulnerability to CVE numbers so persons or organizations that track issues there can easily determine the status of that vulnerability in Debian. Finally, when the security team has enough manpower, they provide security updates to testing, usually by accelerating the migration of a package version from Sid. Any DD can perform a NMU to a package in Sid that has an open security issue. Members of the security team sometimes to this for packages in Sid, but it is usually left up to the maintainer. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Right, thanks. You can see in Hugo's initial posting that he has the
grub package installed which would pull in grub-pc.

Moving a drive to another computer

If a drive is set up as being /dev/ad0 and the other machine sees it as /dev/ad4 it won't complete the boot, it'll complain with a cannot mount root error. Will that be an issue with Debian? Thanks!

Yes. interfaces(5) will tell you all you need for the configuration part, but before you send the drive don't forget to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. This is the file responsible for mapping network interfaces to names by MAC. Wired interfaces are called eth0, eth1 and so on. Pray she doesn't have more than one (including any firewire adapter) otherwise it can get tricky. > My background is mainly in FreeBSD.

Could be. The newer installer will setup fstab with UUIDs, but don't know about 5.0.4 (lenny). You can still modify it yourself though. Use blkid(8) (package util-linux) to find out the UUIDs and replace /dev/hda1 / ext3errors=remount-ro 0 1 with UUID= / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 (assuming /dev/hda1 is the root partition) Grub (the boot loader) can also be an issue, especially since its 'root' parameter can not use LABEL or UUID. If this is the only drive in the computer and the root partition is the first one you probably need root(hd0,0) and you also need to pass the correct UUID as a kernel parameter. Replace 'root=/dev/hda1' with 'root=UUID=. Do not edit the stanzas directly, but read the comments at the beginning of the file. You have to edit (from memory) the 'groot' and 'kopt' parameters, after which you have to run 'update-grub'. Hope I didn't miss anything. There was also recently a thread about this, you should look it up.

You can use UUIDs instead of physical devices, and the kernel will find the partition in question regardless of where it is physically hooked up. The main downside is that UUIDs are rather opaque, but unless your friend is planning on having a lot of drives in her PC or mess around with /etc/fstab and the boot loader configuration, this should be a non-issue. If it is, look up "labels" - they work largely the same but are human-assigned and human-readable. As far as I have gathered, whenever Linux expects a physical device node such as /dev/hda2 or /dev/sdb1, you can instead pass a string on the format "UUID=". So an example fstab entry might look like this: UUID=1e7c6b1a-5c25-4efa-866c-9a6a086b0292 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 In the boot loader configuration, you'd pass the same kind of string to the kernel through the "root" parameter, like so: kernel /kernel-binary root=UUID=1e7c6b1a-5c... ro ... The contents of /dev/disk/by-uuid & Co will be very helpful. -- Michael Kjörling .. mich...@kjorling.se .. http://michael.kjorling.se * .

Resizing Raid 1 partitions
Hi, I have a setup with 2 disks and following raid setting: sda1+sdb1 -> md0, / sda2+sdb2 -> md1 swap sda3+sdb3 -> md2 /home I'd like to resize partitions to get more space on md2 and less on md0. What would bea good way to achieve this ? I know that libparted does not handle raid partitions, so I was thinking to remove sdb partitions from the raid first, resize them then, I wonder if I may resize sda partitions. Will they be recognized as raid partition after being resized ? Or should I think some more magic ?

The "best" way to acheive this would be to use LVM above your software
RAID. At that point, it would be very painless, compared to what is
ahead of you now. If you're curious, here would be the steps:
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -n 2 -l 1 -a yes /dev/sd{a,b}
pvcreate /dev/md0
vgcreate home /dev/md0
lvcreate -L 1G -n swap home
lvcreate -L 10G -n root home
lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n home home
Then, for giving more space to home, and less to root, boot off a live
CD, and (assuming you're using ext3/4):
e2fsck /dev/home/root
resize2fs /dev/home/root 6G
lvreduce -L 6G /dev/home/root
lvextend -L +4G /dev/home/home
resize2fs /dev/home/home
That's it! However, because you chose not to use LVM, you will need to
boot of a live CD that supports Linux software RAID, rebuild the array,
and perform the resizing there. I'm not sure if GParted supports this or
not. Worth checking out, however.
I would personally recommend backing up your data, and reinstalling,
with LVM on top of your software RAID. You still have the redundancy,
and you have the awesome flexibility of resizing volumes with great ease.

Now everything seems obvious. Provided there are no firewalls running either on server1 or server2 it should have to be as easy as (if this gives you a "command not found" you'll need to install the iproute package): On server1: `ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0` On server2: `ip addr add 192.168.0.2/24 dev eth0` Now, you should be able to connect by IP from server1 to server2 and back (like `ssh r...@192.168.0.2` from server1 or `ping 192.168.0.1` from server2).

Two patch levels (2.2.9 vs. 2.2.7) is fallen by the wayside? Really? It looks like some of those changes even got integrated into the package -- there was an NMU for it (Debian revision 2.1).

Question regarding Mutt
Hello dear list, I have a question regarding encrypting and signing an email in mutt with an (yet) unsigned public key. A colleague of mine has a new pgp-key which is only self-signed yet. I downloaded it from a key-server an tried to write an encrypted email to him. As expected mutt warned me about using an unknown key an asked me explicitly to continue. After I entered my passphrase for signing gpg refused to encrypt the mail saying "unusable public key". Now trying to encrypt (and signing) something from command line with the key seemed to work, at least no error messages were reported. This is what I was expecting from mutt too, since in both cases I was asked explicitly to proceed (which is what I want). So I figured it may be some option in my mutt config which causes this difference. But I am using plain gpg.rc file from debians mutt package, sourced by my mutt config. Calling gpg with the same options set by gpg.rc in variable pgp_encrypt_sign_command also worked. The only thing I didn't completely reproduced is the %?a?... magic after the --sign option. Since I do not want to add an --always-trust option in my gpg.rc and think that encrypting to an (yet) unsigned key should be possible, I wonder where the problem might be. Maybe I just misunderstood something so any hints are welcome. An google search brought up some hints about key-server mangling subkeys may causing this error, but using another key-server didn't help. I had to (temporally) sign the key for encryption in mutt to work.

Newbie needinhg a screen reader
I am a current Windows XP User but want to convert to Linux. I have downloaded the Debian 5.0.4 CD and need to know which other CD's I need to download to have a working screen reader. Since I only have a dialup connection I need the CD's to install required packages rather than trying to do them over the internet. My wife and grandchildren can help me with installation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried Vinux 3.0 but Ubuntu does not include modem support. -- David Hoff Jr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Then get the cd's, either amd64 or i386, unless you have something else than intel or amd cpu. Then you have to decide which graphic interface you want: KDE, gnome xfce or an other one. Search the net to make your choice. I doubt you will need more than the first cd for gnome, or the kde or xfce+lxde cds if you choose one of these graphical interface.(I am using kde). If you need more application, you can always download cd2 after, it should meet all your needs. As far as modem support, I have no idea, but someone else can help you..

Peter E. This may be unrelated, but I noticed from the log that ACPI is disabled. A standard stock Debian kernel has ACPI enabled by default. The only way it should fail is if you have a kernel boot parameter to disable it. Please post your /etc/lilo.conf file. -- .''`.

iceweasel crashing when closing tabs
Hi, I'm running sid.. Just started happening after the latest upgrade. Looks like the current version of iceweasel is 3.5.9. I think it's related to javascript, but then again I think all browser problems are related to javascript, I mean when they're not related to flash. I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: iceweasel crashing when closing tabs
Hi there, That's odd. Mine is 3.5.9 too but I didn't notice any crashes. Does all your tab crash or just on specific websites? If you suspect javascript is the problem, try disabling it and see what happens.

I'm trying to figure out if it's certain sites. of course none of this is useful until it's repeatable, hence the reason I'm asking if their is anyone else seeing this.

It never seemed to work quite right. But then a magical thing happened and Microsoft started having a POP3 service for hotmail accounts.
