Re: [Solved] Remplacement for zsafe on wheezy
Sorry for this late response. I finally used fpm2, because I use mate desktop and fpm2 is on gtk so it give me a better integration. fpm2 have less option than Keepassx, but have they I need. I use only Debian, so I don't care if it doesn't work on Windows or Mac :) fpm2 use also aes encryption, I think security is the same with the same encryption.

Re: Need help undeleting a Big gz compressed tar ball
Thank you Bob. The Seagate drive has NTFS, I never reformatted it. There is where the big tar file was. Here is another question: How does the creation of a tar.gz ball occur? Is it a) first compressing files and directories and then taring them or b) taring and then compressing? If the procedure is a), how big the compressed chunks are, how exactly does it happen? It may explain the recovered pieces of 20,30,50 etc GB that are declared by file to be "data". One experience I got: Never create big tar balls unless you have the computer power to handle it.

Problem with authentication
Hi All, I have configured Debian 6 [2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 10 08:43:19 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux] for LDAP Authentication. It works fine if the /etc/nsswitch.conf is as follows: passwd: ldap files group: ldap files shadow: ladp files hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc:db files netgroup: nis But I get authentication errors if it is like this: passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ladp hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc:db files netgroup: nis It only works if the order is ldap files.

Re: Problems with LDAP Authentication
Thanks Petter for your response. It looks like the authentication process looks for the user in /etc/passwd first and if the user is not there it gives up, ie. dose not go to the LDAP server. However, if LDAP is first then everything works fine. Also I note that if I do su - username as root [authentication not required] I get: su: Authentication failure (Ignored) //Ger On Thu, 2013-06-13 at 12:52 +0200, Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: > [Ger Hooton] > > Any ideas? > > Not really. > > But you seem to confuse authentication with user information. > nsswitch.conf control which users are visible (and other related > information), while the content of /etc/pam.d/ control password > checking. > > Did you consider using sssd instead?

Make sure you do *not* have the NTFS filesystem mounted as read-write. Use `mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdx` with the appropriate device file to mount read-only. If you do not have a target disk that is large enough, you need to get one. Go with maybe 2 TB so that you have room to store the 400 GB archive, plus extract it. If you will be using this with Linux only, do not use NTFS. If you have not made *any* writes to the filesystem after the delete, then the data *should* be there. Try tools like scalpel, scrounge-ntfs, and testdisk (now that you have adequate target disk space). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If the compression was 10x (not uncommon) then it would have needed 4000G of space to hold the uncompressed image first and then enough additional space to create the compressed file. You would have needed, say, at least 5T of space in that case. Unlikely. And inefficient. (And it all depends upon the compression factor. Images are already compressed and generally do not compress more. My 10x number might be 1.2x overall. But text and source code and particularly data files tend to compress very well and my 10x number might be 100x then. It all depends upon the data.) > b) taring and then compressing? Normally people working with tar.gz files compress them on the fly. tar cf - DIRPATH | gzip > TARFILE.tar.gz Or they do the above combined all at one time using the 'z' option which does the same thing but is a nice typing saver aid. Internally tar will use popen() to create the pipe for you. tar czf TARFILE.tar.gz DIRPATH Since that runs as a pipe the output file is always compressed and disk space used is at a minimum. Also each process can get a different cpu in a multi-core cpu system. That is the most likely way that your 400G tar.gz file was created. However that is still not the only way and other possibilities exist so this can not be said with absolute certainty. > One experience I got: Never create big tar balls unless you have the > computer power to handle it. Especially if it is compressed. I have to say that when I saw that you had a 400G tar.gz I had a sharp intake of breath thinking about it. Good to hear that it was not ext3!

Debug symbols for all (or most?) packages?
Disclaimer: I'm primarily a Fedora user, but I manage a few Ubuntu-based servers, which are based on Debian, and my issue seems to exist in plain Debian as well, so here goes... A few days ago, I had a program dump core. It crashed in a function in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libprocps.so.0.0.1, and no symbols were installed. So I did: $ dpkg -S /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libprocps.so.0.0.1 libprocps0:amd64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libprocps.so.0.0.1 Aha - libprocps0-dbg must be missing! So I tried it install it -- no luck. After reading things like http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace and visiting pages like http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/procps, it seems like there are, in fact, no symbols available at all. I can build a new package from source, install it, and hope for another crash, but this is a nasty thing to do to a production server. Does Debian really not have debug symbols for all (or even most) packages? Fedora is really good about this. Am I missing something? (FWIW, this has happened to be quite a few times in quite a few different packages. I'm fairly agnostic about distributions, but this may cause me to move to something Fedora-based for my servers at some point. I've wasted a fair amount of time doing symbol-less debugging on my servers, and I've never had this problem on my Fedora development box.)

Lenovo WiFi Problem
I have been having a WiFi problem for a few months now, and I think I should finally fix it. I am using a Lenovo Ideapad Z370 with Gnome 3's network manager. Whenever I connect to a WiFi network, I have one or more of these three problems. 1. The speed of the network drops drastically. Usually less than 20% of the speed that the network should be. 2. The network seems to work fine for several minutes then drops out for 30 seconds to two minutes until it finally starts working again. This repeats itself. 3. I am repeatedly asked for the password for the network and cannot access the internet at all. I know for a fact that the password I am entering is correct. In all of these problems network manager says that I am connected to the network just fine which is obviously not the case. I can also say that this probably isn't a hardware problem or a matter of range because Windows 7 seems to connect just fine. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I can post any log files that may be needed. Thanks for any help in advance!

A week before I had a network outage and when they were fixing it the tech replaced the router and had several settings involving various DOS attack detection. I was connected to the internet, but my local wifi had the symptoms you describe. I disabled syn attack detection and another that I don't remember and from that point everything worked fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Re: Lenovo WiFi Problem
Thanks for the help, but it doesn't sound quite like my problem. I haven't changed any network settings and these problems are only occurring on this one device. I should probably also mention that according to lspci my WiFi model is "Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor Peak]". Maybe I'm missing a driver or something of that sort? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Fedora is really good about this. Am I missing something? You might have noticed some packages have a -dbg equivalent. As far as I understand at the moment it is up to the Maintainer to enable this in the Debian package build. There were several discussions about a general solution for Debian packages, but it hasn't happened so far. I'm guessing there is (as usual) lack of manpower :( Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Thank you Darac. I had this same problem too and fixed it in the same way. I realise I was not clear/correct in my terminology. It is the "Workspace Switcher" that I am currently grappling with, in particular, its width. This is the little multi-box panel applet which allows changing (and shows the current) "virtual desktop" or "workspace". So still looking for a solution to shrink the width of my xfce "workspace switcher".
