Re: transition from Ubuntu -> Debian to avoid Unity Desktop?
You need to simply try it out. I don't think Debian will choose Unity instead of Gnome... (I'm personally very positive of this... but that is only my serious belief) anyway, I need to consider carefully abandoning Ubuntu. I'm sure they will keep supporting Gnome. Nevertheless, I stared a long time ago with RedHat7 (2 years), then Mandrake, then Fedora, then Mandrake again (3 years), then Ubuntu (2 months) and, for the last 4 years, Debian. And I must say Debian really rules. But Ubuntu is also very good. I'dd suggest you try out Debian for some weeks.

The Unity interface is deceptively similar to ones found on handheld devices. Canonical is playing this close to the chest possibly for tactical reasons. Besides, AFAIK Unity is a shell to the GNOME environment. GNOME should be available as an option, just not the default.

Oops, sorry :-)
Thunderbird works natively/internally with mbox formated files so if, for
example, you have a file ("big_gmail.mbox") with all your stored e-mails,
to view them locally all you have to do is put that mbox file under your
current Thunderbird folder profile (for instance, "~/.mozilla-thunderbird/
profile.default/Mail/Local Folders/gmail/big_gmail" and you are done
(just in case, remove the ".mbox" extension if present).

If there is enough people who wants the bug to be reviewed and they are completely ignored by the maintainer, why not?

Maybe the DD should have been clarified a bit more his decision. As I read it, it seems there has been some changes in the "gnome-session" package that now has "additional" dependencies (in fact, if you carefully compare both, "gnome-session" package in lenny with squeeze's, you can note that while in lenny, most of the required packages are libraries, debian's "gnome-session" package _now_ depends on "gnome-panel" or "metacity", to just cite some of the "big" ones) so I can understand the diatribe of the devel here: "gnome-core" has grown in size and dependencies (and I suppose not by his desire) so its primary role of the metapackage (to be a lightweight GNOME) has been vanished and should be rethinked again. Finally, he decided to give it another role → "gnome-core" as metapackage for a GNOME DE that fits into a CD. Good or bad decision?

Re: transition from Ubuntu -> Debian to avoid Unity Desktop?
Mr. Johnson, good morning. > Anyway, I just learned that in the next Ubuntu, they are adopting the > "Unity Desktop". I did some checking on that and I totally hate it. I understand completely. I've had the same reaction to KDE4. > Can I escape Ubuntu to Debian? Yes. Although the "default" in Debian is the GNOME desktop, the Debian developers go to great lengths to make running any desktop environment or window manger that is packaged for Debian as seamless as possible. The GDM (and KDM for that matter) login screens have a menu list of all installed window managers and "desktop environments" from which to choose. This allows for easy changes of desktop, so you can use which ever one strikes your fancy, or just leave "last" selected to use the one you're accustomed to. Debian install CD#1 comes in three flavors, GNOME (generic), KDE and XFCE (specified), you would have to be careful to download the specific one you wanted if you don't want GNOME. Debian DVD#1, bootable-business-card and net-install disk images have the option (under "advanced") to install either the full KDE, GNOME or XFCE package suites right from the start. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/ Scroll to the bottom of the above directory to see the "other" install images. This is for Squeeze, the "about to be declared completely stable". > 1. Is Debian defaulting to the Unity Desktop too? (please say no) Even if the Debian Developers were to make such a decision in several years, the one and only time that would be an issue is if you didn't know about it and chose the generic CD#1 with which to do an install. It is a simple matter in aptitude, dselect or whatever your package manager of choice, to simply install the desktop of your choice, and choose it when you log in. > 2. How can I make a transition to Debian from Ubuntu? So I need to > change my apt repositories and then do what else? Maybe someone else has answered this question. Not knowing exactly what the Ubuntu developers do that is different than Debian, I personally wouldn't risk it without having done a full backup of my data anyway in case it went bad and a reinstall was called for. > 3. If I make this change Ubuntu -> Debian, will I end up back in > "Nvidia Hell" where the OS updates frequently break the > commercial/proprietary video drivers? In my personal experience, I have only had that happen once in many years of using the Nvidia proprietary driver: three days ago. One of the simlinks was altered. Re-running the Nvidia proprietary installer solved the problem, with nothing more difficult than stopping X, running the binary, and logging back in. HOWEVER, I run Unstable, by choice. Sid breaks all his toys, so I expect to have problems like this once in a while. I fully expect that if you chose to run Debian Stable, you wouldn't see that kind of trouble. I fully expect you will have no problems running Debian, whatever way you choose to do so. The benefits of self-organizing anarchy.

Interesting... any particular examples? It seems that a lot of the SATA external drive enclosures I was looking at come with an eSATA card using a sil3xxx chipset, but no mention of data corruption in the user reviews, FWIW. really usable in Linux? In that case, with all the drives hanging off the one eSATA connection, will Linux (specifically Debian Squeeze) see all four drives, or just the first one? Will I be able to configure them in a RAID5 array as desired? It will see all disks, yes. But if the port-multiplier chip is buggy crap, your data is toast. It is best to avoid SATA port multipliers like the plague because of that, since it is extremely difficult to shop for an external bay with a particular chipset... Look for a specific hardware product that has been in the market for at least two years, and with many happy *Linux* users (Windows drivers might be working around chip errata unknown to Linux libata). Sorry, I can't personally recommend any. Or get a SAS HBA, and a SAS-attached enclosure. Far more expensive, but at least you can be sure it will work very well (yes, it will take SATA disks as well as the more expensive (and better) SAS disks). In other words '...avoid anything except the most expensive enterprise-grade equipment for a home backup storage solution' While good advice I'm sure, it kind of blows the budget out of the water and nixes the whole project. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I see acroread-debian-files in the unofficial (and not ALWAYS compatible) multimedia repository, but not the others. So, I'd say they are "safe" to remove, but you won't have Adobe Acrobat Reader anymore. I don't see a Debian package for that program, not even a -installer or -downloader package, even in multimedia.

Most likely they were dropped because your aptitude wants the wrong version of (or to remove) stuff they depend on. You should be able to retain these package and still install KDE, if you want. I don't know if you are aware, but aptitude will propose other solutions if you don't accept the first one, and you can further guide the resolver with various preference expressions from the "[Y/n/q/?]" prompt. Use the '?' option to get more details about that. I also like using the ncurses inteface for that; you can jump right into the resolver part of the ncurses interface by answering 'e' at the "[Y/n/q/?]" prompt. > 11) ia32-libs > 12) ia32-libs-gtk > 13) ia32-libs-xulrunner > 14) lib32asound2 > 15) lib32bz2-1.0 > 17) lib32ncurses5 > 19) lib32v4l-0 I don't have any of these installed. As library packages, they are likely safe to remove. Other packages that need them will Depend on them and prevent their removal.

I think what is happening is that KDE SC 4 needs a newer libc than what the (old, unmaintained?) acroread package supports. So, installing KDE SC 4 requires the acroread package to be removed. This removal "cascades" to your 32-bit libraries since acroread was the only program using them. > Here there is the full log: > > root@debianbetaa:~# aptitude install kde-full > The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: > libc-bin libc6 I'd recommend against downgrading these packages (or any package, FWIW). I'm not sure what part of kde-full would need the 2.11.2-6+squeeze1 version (from testing[security]) specifically instead of the 2.11.2-7 version that is currently in testing (and includes the security fix). That said, I don't use kde-full. I use kde-standard, plus other packages as needed. (I used to use kde-minimal, but that package seems to have been dropped at least temporarily by the KDE/Qt packaging team.)

Okay... and where did have defined the e-mail address for logcheck
reports, I mean, what was the content of the "/etc/aliases" file?
There are many ways to set the e-mail, you can directly tweak the
variable in "/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf" or you can leave the default
value and use the aliases file.

Hum, then you should have definitively reviewed your Postfix logs to
find out why the e-mail was being delivered to the old domain after you
changed the main.cf file, adjusted "myhostname"/"mydestination" and
reloaded postfix to apply the changes.

Re: GRUB Update - Squeeze Installation
I am a bit confused here. When installing squeeze, there is a section which creates. I selected automatic partition creation. As a result, ext3 and swap partitions were created. The ext3 partition that contains os is set to bootable. When you say boot partition, do you mean ext3?

Re: Why is Evolution and Epiphany now a part of gnome-core?
I took a moment this morning to compare the differences between the
two packages mentioned thus far in this thread, gnome-core and
gnome-session.
gnome-core contains 524 packages
gnome-session contains 368 packages
There is a 367MB difference between the installed sizes of gnome-core
and gnome-session, and a 150MB difference in what will be downloaded.
gnome-core contains all packages supplied by gnome-session. gnome-core
however has the additional 157 packages listed below. That is a rather
large difference only adding a couple end user applications.

I'll try the latest davmail, now I use icedove in Imap (activated on exchange), plus the exchange data provider for lightning (http://gitorious.org/lightning-exchange-provider/pages/Home) which is extremely slow, but working (full XUL implementation, that may explain the slowness) I get the global address list through LDAP, but a more integrated solution would be interesting. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You said you were using /dev/md1 as an lvm volume for /var, /home, swap and other. As I read this it means you would only have /dev/md0 for /boot in your /etc/fstab. Right? Something like this from my system: /dev/md0/boot ext2defaults0 2 You /var, /home and swap would use the lvm, right? So from my system I have the following: /dev/mapper/v1-var /var ext3defaults0 2 /dev/mapper/v1-home /home ext3defaults0 2 Those don't mention /dev/md1 (which showed up for you as /dev/md126) at all. They would only show up in the volume group display. If you are seeing /dev/md126 in /etc/fstab then it is conflicting information. You will have to sort out the information conflict.

The purpose in the static-ip system emitting pings and the dynamic-ip doing "ping-restart 120" is obvious. Why is the converse needed? When none of your road warriors are on-line the static-ip "server" will be restarting openvpn every 120 s. Why?

The > static-ip system lacks the remote parameter ... unless I revert > to my old dependance upon a DDNS server, ... which had failed. I was mostly just confirming that you don't need remote on both ends. You only need remote on one side to initiate the connection. The dynamic ip host can be the only one with a remote set and then it will be the only one to initiate the connection. The server is happy to wait for clients to connect. Without a remote option set the server won't initiate a connection but will respond to clients who connect. Also the remote tells the daemon to filter packets to only those from the specified address. Filtering to a specific address isn't going to be compatible with a client that changes addresses. (Openvpn, if --resolv-retry is specified, resolves the hostname every time it tries to connect specifically to allow use of dynamic address clients.) > > Yes.

In addition to my "road warrior" laptop I also use an almost identical configuration on several other client systems that all exist on dynamic IP addresses on various networks behind NAT firewalls.

That is exactly the same situation I am in. No difference that I can tell. I don't think we are in a different case. (Except I don't commute to the city. :-) Why do you think that Joule won't try to reconnect? You don't actually say that it won't but you do imply that it won't unless you do something special. > > I use keepalive 20 120 on my server.

Well, there isn't a need to guess. It is documented in the manual. I will refrain from repeating it here. > The purpose in the static-ip system emitting pings and the > dynamic-ip doing "ping-restart 120" is obvious. Why is the converse > needed? When none of your road warriors are on-line the static-ip > "server" will be restarting openvpn every 120 s. Why? Primarily because that is what is recommended in the OpenVPN documentation. It seemed reasonable to me. This way both sides will detect and react to the connection going down. I had no reason to go against the documentation and didn't think about it too much further. Secondly on the server the openvpn daemon isn't restarted. It just does internal cleanup on the client instance object. That is according to the documentation anyway. I haven't actually looked at the code to verify that but instead just read the documentation. If the server doesn't detect that the client dropped offline then I could see it causing problems when the client tries to establish a new connection. Without detecting this the server could be trying to /continue/ a connection when the client wants to /start/ a connection and I doubt those are compatible. I haven't looked at the code but it just seemed so reasonable to me that I don't expect anything different. But among other things restarting the client instance object on the server would cause the it to re-resolve any names used by dynamic clients. This way if the name has changed addresses through a dynamic dns server then the server will get the new address for the packet filter. (However I don't use "remote" on the server and so I personally don't need it for that reason. But others might.) I could also imagine it would trigger other hooks too. > Incidentally, does your "server" really have "mode server" It really has "mode server" in the form of the "server" directive such as "server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0" which expands to a lot of configuration code which is documented in the manual. I prefer using the shorter: server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 which expands to the following for my case: mode server tls-server ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2 ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.4 10.8.0.251 route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 push "route 10.8.0.1" > or just a collectio

A bit puzzled about the disclaimer, though: ‘This list doesn't specify anything about how much of your card is supported. So a card that only works without encryption is listed the same as one that also has support for WEP/WPA.’ Not sure I want to donate my bandwidth to any TDH that might sniff my available presence the minute I cruise along in their neighborhood... cj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I am suggesting that you have such a complicated routing setup that it is causing you difficulty and that you should simplify it by some method. You listed five (5!) route commands in your configuration. >>> # Machines in the local home zone reached _via_ the tunnel. >>> # Curie >>> route 172.23.4.2 >>> # Heaviside >>> route 172.23.5.2 >>> # Shaw mail servers _via_ the tunnel. >>> # route shawmail.gv.shawcable.net >>> route 64.59.128.135 >>> route 24.71.223.43 >>> # Shaw ftp server _via_ the tunnel. >>> # route ftp.shaw.ca >>> route 64.59.128.134 And you have been having such trouble with your vpn(s). To me that is like a house of cards. A light breeze blows it over. In order to be more robust it needs to be simpler, less rigid, and more flexible. > > Standard email headers apply.

But you asked the question! :-) It isn't fair to ask a question, get an answer, and then complain about it. :-) That is dirty dealing! In response I will only say that most users will simply use an MUA (mail user agent) and will simply use it (mutt, thunderbird, gmail, whatever) to generate follow-ups. It is the MUA's job to do the right thing with respect to email headers. Let's hope the author of the MUA actually took the time to read the RFCs. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You listed five (5!) route commands in your configuration. Once your routing gets that complexicational you might want to consider using a routing deamon such as Quagga. You could probably use OSPF over the tunnels but we prefer to use private BGP, with each office and laptop and customer office network a separate private AS. BGP gives us better control of route propagation than OSPF. For example sysadmin laptops can communicate with customer office networks for maintenance purposes but customer office networks cannot see each other. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

2.2.9-10+lenny8 upgrade SSL not working after update
I am running Lenny, and upgrading from 2.2.9-10+lenny4 to 2.2.9-10+lenny8 and encountered an error with my SSL configuration in the update. My installation uses apache2 configuration files.. and this is the first time an upgrade has broken a working installation (with no obvious error message). My HTTP named virtual hosts work fine. The secure site works fine when SSL is disabled as well. So I figure there is some configuration file change in the newer version. I found a couple posts from about a year ago mentioning something similar, but I wasn't quite sure what the exact cause (since there are no error messages) is and how I would fix it. Below are some of the pertinent config files. Names and addresses changed... /etc/apache2/ports.conf -- NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.10:80 Listen 10.0.0.10:80 Listen localhost:80 Listen 10.0.0.20:443 -- /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/secure.site.com - DocumentRoot /www/site.com ServerName secure.site.com SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /usr/lib/ssl/certs/secure.site.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/lib/ssl/private/secure.site.com.key BrowserMatch "MSIE [56]\." nokeepalive Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all - Any ideas?

Question related to FDE (Full Disk Encryption) solution under Linux Debian Lenny
Good evening, Our company needs to encrypt hard drives on our machines running under Linux Debian Lenny. Seagate proposes FDE solutions with Momentus 5400 and/or 7200 (http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/fr-FR/whitepaper/mb595_2_momentus_fde_sed_ii_sq_kit.pdf) This solution is very interesting because the password or the passphrase is not stored on the hard drive but in the BIOS in their case. So that a server can reboot without any human intervention. However, this solution only works under windows !! They don't plan to support under linux such a disk. :o( So my question is : could you suggest another FDE solution compliant with a Lenny distribution? Thanks in advance Thomas NGUYEN VAN
