I started the PC this morning, no printer was working so I used 
http://localhost:631/admin and AFTER this I used your commands, and this is 
the result:

My apologies! i didn't realise that despite the shift from "Google Talk"
to "Hangouts", the plugin is still called "google-talkplugin" - i
thought there might be a "google-hangout" plugin you needed to install
instead.

(Also, as a Wheezy user, i can't install the current google-talkplugin:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-talkplugin:
 google-talkplugin depends on libc6 (>= 2.14); however:
  Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.13-38+deb7u6.

Well, the OpenVPN client sets that route itself: the problem is, the F5VPN 
client overwrites it (see above). So I'd need to add it after starting the 
F5VPN client, producing something like

new routeset option 2: F5VPN routes with 1 added route:

1:  0.0.0.0/1 via ${F5_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev ppp0  proto none  metric 1

6:  ${F5_VPN_PUBLIC_IPN} via ${OPEN_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev tun0  proto none  metric

That sounds like an esoteric requirement which I'm guessing wouldn't
interest the average buyer.

Typically, UPSes don't appear as batteries. You probably want to
install something like NUT (network-ups-tools) or APCUPSd (which also
works with non-APC UPSes). These will monitor the UPS and notify you
(typically by email, but there are graphical monitors available for
NUT. The daemon will also initiate a controlled shutdown once the
battery level becomes critical.

I'm not aware of any technical reason why UPSes couldn't be connected
into the ACPI system, I just don't think anyone's ever done it.

I should have thought that a matte screen would interest quite a few people.

The date in the front tells me when I downloaded a package. It looks
like google changed the libc6 dependency somewhere between 2014-08-06
and 2014-12-20

I think he's talking about laying on the floor. Of interest only after a

Matt Ventura Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:26:48 -0800 [2] (slightly reformatted)

[The new routeset] should look like:

new routeset option 1:


[192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src ${LOCAL_ETH0_IPN}]
${OPEN_VPN_PUBLIC_IPN} via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
${F5_VPN_PUBLIC_IPN} via ${OPEN_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev tun0 ...
0.0.0.0/0 via ${F5_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev ppp0 ...
Come to think of it, the set of routes that the F5 VPN puts in place should 
work, needing only the addition of
${OPEN_VPN_PUBLIC_IPN} via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
What I wrote above is the cleanest possible set of routes that would
still work, but just adding that one route should fix the existing
one. I think you would want to add it just before starting the
OpenVPN, otherwise do it right after.

Well, the OpenVPN client sets that route itself: the problem is, the F5VPN 
client overwrites it (see above). So I'd need to add it after starting the 
F5VPN client, producing something like

new routeset option 2: F5VPN routes with 1 added route:

1:  0.0.0.0/1 via ${F5_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev ppp0  proto none  metric 1
2:  default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0  proto static
3:  10.144.0.1 dev ppp0  proto kernel  scope link  src ${F5_VPN_ENDPT_IPN}
4:  128.0.0.0/1 via ${F5_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev ppp0  proto none  metric 1
5:  ${OPEN_VPN_PUBLIC_IPN} via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
6:  ${F5_VPN_PUBLIC_IPN} via ${OPEN_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev tun0  proto none  metric 
1

Is that the correct order?


After starting the F5 VPN, you might need to [also] re-add the
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 ... src ${LOCAL_ETH0_IPN}

so that would be option 3: F5VPN routes with 2 added routes:

1:  192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src ${LOCAL_ETH0_IPN}
2:  0.0.0.0/1 via ${F5_VPN_ENDPT_IPN} dev ppp0  proto none  metric 1

Yes. Although the OpenVPN client shouldn't be adding those unless it was 
configured to do so (or the server pushed instructions to do so), or 
you're using some frontend like network-manager in which case you'd want 
to configure that frontend to not do that.

XBMC/Kodi? Anybody actually using this on Debian?

2015-01-25 Thread Ronald F. Guilmette


I have a reasonably fresh (<1 month old) install of Debian.  Today, I
became root and did the following:

apt-get install xbmc

That completed successfully, and I then ran XBMC from the command line
in a seraparate xterm window (*not* as root).

It came up alright, but the mouse seemed to be sluggish.  So I popped
over to the XBMC "System info" tab and had a look see...

The first thing I noticed was that the version of XBMC I'd apparently
installed was 11.0 (!!)  I think it would be an understatement to say
that this version of XBMC is a bit long in the tooth now.  XBMC (now Kodi)
is up to version 14.0 now.  So, um, as Seinfeld would say "What's up with
that?"  Why is Debian still only providing 11.0?

The second thing I noticed probably explains why the mouse seemed a tad
sluggish... Both cores on my dual core system were pegged at 94-95%
utilization.

Again I ask... What's up with that?

Seems rather seriously broken to me.

My system:

AMD A4-6300 APU
ASUS A78M-A motherboard
ASUS VH238H (1080p) monitor.

You are not saying which release you are using so I guess you are running 
the latest stable release, which will most likely be wheezy:

https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/

It was released in may 2013. There obviously was not enough time to get 
at least 12.0 into the release, given that wheezy was frozen on June 30th 
in 2012:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/06/msg9.html

The current development release has XBMC 13.2 which will also be in the 
upcoming jessie release of the Debian distribution.

If you want to run newer software on a Debian system based on stable (aka 
the released version), you have to look at backports:

http://backports.debian.org/

Debian stable is often quite a bit behind in terms of current software 
versions. That's the price for being well tested when released. I regard 
that as an advantage given that one often can get the new stuff from 
backports if really needed.

Maybe your X11 driver does not use the hardware acceleration of your 
video adapter?!

So that does top show about the offending process while your load is that 
high?

I have to admit that I don't know the status of AMD A4 support in Debian.
Googling gave this as a hint that this may be the problem:
