You could test this by unmounting it and then run 'mount -a'

Login screen for Wheezy/Xfce

Hi,

where do I specify the content of the login screen:

-  automatically using Xfce
-  automatic login a user without password

Thanks in advance.

What display manager and what greeter for the display manager do you
use?

If you've got only one user, you could remove the display manager and
it's greeter, to start the session by ~/.xinitrc.

Assumed you're using GDM, than edit /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
https://wiki.debian.org/GDM .

Doesn't GDM3 automatically use the last used DE by default?
However, there are also different ways to tell the display manager what
sessions should be available.

You e.g. could delete entries in /usr/share/xsessions/ or ~/.xinitrc and
only keep Xfce. It depends to the used display manager, greeter, way to
start this stuff ;). I assume that you aren't using the Debian default,
or that you are using the default, but don't like to read Debian Wikis
yourself ;).

iPod integration

[Klaus]

Hello List

How do people here integrate their portable music player with their
Debian box? My daughter "inherited" a 2005-vintage iPod Shuffle, a
rather dumb device that holds one playlist, media files in a m4a
container, and it uses I believe mp3 encoding.

I've ripped all my CDs, to make them locally available on my headless
fileserver. The files are encode in flac, and are accessible through
either miniDLNA, a upnp server, or directly via NFS. The latter I use
to play the music via MPD (music player daemon), piped through a USB
digital-to-analog converter to my stereo (this is essentially a direct
replacement for my CD player), all controlled via Gnome Music Player
Client.

Now, my question is: how do I connect to my music with something like
Rhythmbox , VLC etc., to be able to compile a playlist, convert (on
the fly?) the flac files to mp3, and upload them onto the iPod?
Various bits of this process I can do, but haven't figured out a way
to do it all.

There are quite a few old recipes on the 'net, some involving
GNUpod. Is there anything new, more integrated?

Thanks in advance,

--

ksh i386 ##

Hi All,

On a fresh debian install (well 3.2.0-4-686-pae) I installed the ksh package.

Typing ## at promt exit the shell immediatly.

On x86_64 it doesn't do that.

Any idea or suggestion?

So you can't see what package exactly installed it, but at least all
packages who need it. It doesn't show if something you e.g. installed by
"make install" should need it too.

In the case of Icedove/Thunderbird, you don't even need to set

If you are using lightdm (which I guess you do, hasn't that been the
default in Debian for quite some time?), see its wiki-page:

https://wiki.debian.org/LightDM

As described there, I guess a 

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

will make you able to select Xfce.

Also, the autologin options are described at that page.

Well, I'm ignorant, but the firmware 'helps' the driver, doesn't it? If

Wheezy installer problem

[Robert Holtzman]

After installing Wheezy 7.0 twice on different machines w/ no problems I
can't get 7.1 to install in manual mode on my amd64 laptop. Everything is
fine until I get to the point of writing partition changes to the disk.
That's when I'm asked if I want to continue (yes) or return to the
partitioner. Write changes...yes...continue...yes...back to the partitioner. 
Endless loop. I've tried looking in the bug tracking site but so far
it's impenetrable to me. I'll keep trying.

Anyone else see this problem? I *seem* to remember an upgrade to the
installer.

Any pointers gratefully accepted.

Hallo Klaus!

I do not know the answer to your question, but would like to know as

For now, I've been using forked-daapd to share media files over the lan

If you want to know whether a lemon is sour, suck it and see.  I.e. try it 
out.  It is quite frequently used, but is a bit too colloquial for an 
international list. I apologise.

But simply rebooting would have given the answer to "will it get auto mounted 
on startup?" immediately, without bothering the list.  LMGTFY, but even 
simpler.

I got it, but I thought before that adding  entry to fstab and automounting

I restarted but I had to mount all the three iso manually.

mount -a won't work too.

So I did suck it :-)

They are exactly related to each other.  The /etc/fstab file defines
what file systems are mounted at boot time.

> So I did suck it :-)

Then something is wrong with the listings in your /etc/fstab file.
But previously I gave you a test for it and you said that worked.  So
the line must be syntactically correct and is mounting the right file
system.

Do you have "noauto" there?  That is the only thing that makes sense.
Remove it.  Look for a "noauto" option and remove it.

  $ man fstab
  ...
  noauto do not mount when "mount -a" is given (e.g., at boot time)
  ...

What options do you have?  For mounting an iso you probably only want
"loop" and "ro" and no other options.

What version of Thunderbird are you using?  It is true that old

"just work".

That is the root cause of the broken mail thread problems.  By
re-sending a previous message you are re-sending the previous headers
too.  This is what is causing threading to be so confused.  Now I
understand the previous thread breakage.

Please do not re-send previous messages after editing them.  Instead
simply list-reply to them.  I am pretty-sure that Thunderbird will
reply to the list appropriately.  But regardless you need to allow
Thunderbird to set up the threading properly.  Just do the normal
thing and follow-up and let Thunderbird do the right thing.

Blue?  You mean as in html email?  Colors will be lost entirely when
reading the mail as plain text.  Think about people using screen
readers.  Plain text is the standard.  I am one of many reading the
plain text content and any html color will be invisible to me.  Even
if I were reading the html I would be rendering it into a terminal and
so still would not see any colors.  And also html email is listed
specifically on the list of things not to send to the mailing list.

As you can tell by the questions the answer depends upon which
graphical login manager (xdm, x display manager) you are running.

  gdm
  gdm3
  kdm
  ldm
  lightdm
  xdm

If you tell us which you are using then someone can probably say how
to set up autologin.  But for example while gdm worked okay this
changed and gdm3 I don't think it has a kiosk mode.

Let me assume or recommend lightdm.  Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
and set autologin-user in the SeatDefaults section:

Confirmed.  Good report.  It is a program bug.

  $ ulimit -c unlimited
  $ ksh
  $ #Segmentation fault

Looks like a memory corruption bug.  Different architectures will have
different memory chunks in different places.  It just happens not to
memory fault on amd64 while it does on 686.  Other architectures will
probably do other random things.  Memory stomps are hard to predict.

Definitely a bug.  Please file a bug report.

Press Alt-F4 to look at the installer log screen.  Are there any clues
visible on that screen?

Perhaps it has an error writing the partition table and therefore

Oh! Lookie there!

The relevant line from the bug report:

(I think I need to start getting familiar with the debian bug reporting
 processes and lists.)

Anyway, I added that line to /etc/lightdm and /etc/lightdm-autologin,
at the end, right before the @include common-password line, and I'm
getting login logs again. who works again, etc.

Thanks, Bob.

Building Icedove from git

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi :)

I try to build Icedove for Arch Linux x86_64, but autoconf fails with

mozilla/build/autoconf/acwinpaths.m4:10: error: defn: undefined
macro: AC_OUTPUT_FILES
mozilla/build/autoconf/acwinpaths.m4:10: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1

The version of Debian Sid's and Arch's autoconf from their repositories
are equal, autoconf 2.69.

$ git log --pretty=format:"%h" | head -1
7fa36d6

Any hints are welcome. I know that there is Thunderbird available for
Arch, but I won't use Thunderbird, I even won't use Icedove, I just want
to test something and want to get Icedove for Arch, instead of rebooting
to Debian or installing it to Vbox, just to make some tests.

Regards,
Ralf

Some quotes sound like Debian should be sold like an assurance,
political party or the best washing powder ever, so here are my 2 cents:

One of the positive aspects of Debian is, that a default install is
newbie friendly, but still relatively close to the KISS principle,
perhaps the reason that many Distros are based on Debian. Strange, that
a full KISS principle often is harder for newbies. Isn't it?

I wish the Debian project all the best and additional 20+ years,
Ralf

UPS monitoring with nut

[Ash Narayanan]

I am looking to set up nut (version 2.6.4-2.3) to monitor my ups in
Wheezy but can't seem to find any relevant guides/tutorials. I've
searched through several guides online (including the one pointed to
by http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html). For example,
whatever I read seems to suggest existence of these files:
/etc/default/nut
/etc/init.d/nut

My installation does not contain either of those files. On the other
hand, I have:
/etc/init.d/nut-client
/etc/init.d/nut-sever

Also, everything I read seems to require changes to /etc/nut/upsd.conf
with something along the lines of:
ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

My /etc/nut/upsd.conf file only seems to contain LISTEN statements and
reading through some forums, it seems that ACL statements are obsolete
in versions after 2.2.

I can't seem to find any up to date guides. Are there any? Or is one
allowed to upload a package to Debian without any instructions on how
to use it?

A bit of information regarding the setup I'm after:
One Wheezy server connected to UPS via usb (master)
One Wheezy server connected to the first server via ethernet (slave)
Both servers being supplied power by the UPS

I unfortunately don't use nut, so can't help you with that particular
package. However, you might want to check out apcupsd, and see if it
supports talking to your UPS. I have an APC UPS here connected to a
squeeze server. I do though manually check it once in a while from a
wheezy machine over the network using apcaccess to do so. HTH maybe.

Remove the user and noauto options and then it should mount with -a
and at boot time.

When you upgraded to Wheezy did you not upgrade debian-archive-keyring?
That package contains the key.  Verify that it is up to date.  Upgrade
it if needed.  Then run apt-get update again.

  $ apt-cache policy debian-archive-keyring
  debian-archive-keyring:
Installed: 2012.4
Candidate: 2012.4
Version table:
   *** 2012.4 0
  500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages
  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Upgrade it if needed.  Find the deb file in your mounted iso image.

  # find /media/dvd-mountpoint1 -name 'debian-archive-keyring_*_all.deb'
  
/media/dvd-mountpoint1/pool/main/d/debian-archive-keyring/debian-archive-keyring_2012.4_all.deb

Install it by that path.

  # dpkg -i 
/media/dvd-mountpoint1/pool/main/d/debian-archive-keyring/debian-archive-keyring_2012.4_all.deb

Then update again to clear the error.

  # apt-get update

After that you should not be getting that authentication error again.
Because the keyring will be installed authorizing them.

Formatted Disk

[Ethan Rosenberg, PhD]

Dear List -

I have a usb drive, with data on it, that I [stupidly!!] tried to name 
using fdisk.  Of course, it erased the data.  I have not used the drive 
since then.  I think there is a method to "unformat" a drive. What shall 
I do now?


TIA

I hope I didn't sound like I was recommending that you try to do Android

Thanks Greg. Unfortunately I don't use a APC ups, so that's not an
option for me, which is shame since apcupsd seems so much simpler and
intuitive to set up.

Timing Shorewall's startup

[Johann Spies]

My home network server is also the gateway to the internet.

I have configured /etc/default/shorewall to wait for the ppp-interface
(adsl) before it starts.

Sometimes the server boots and shorewall does not run at all.

It seems that the wait_interface="ppp0" setting in /etc/default/shorewall
does not do the job properly.

How can I ensure that shorewall starts properly.  When I am at home I can
correct this but sometime my other family members wants to use the
internet, switch on the server and when shorewall is not running properly,
they cannot access the internet.

Regards
Johann
