Hi Lisi,

Flexibility is the main win, really - the multiarch CD should work on
almost any machine. But the cost is that it's almost twice as big as
the single-arch images when you're downloading it. The resulting
installation should be identical either way.

For *Jessie*, the multiarch CD also gives you the option to boot via
32-bit UEFI but then install an amd64 system on things like the Bay
Trail - see http://blog.einval.com/2015/03/30#Jessie-EFI_6 for more
details there.

How to set up dvd+rw-tools source the way it gets compiled for Debian sid ?

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i want to fix the growisofs DVD-R DAO bug and its
wrong interpretation of "Descriptor" format error indication.
See https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/08/msg00197.html

Since growisofs has no upstream any more, i plan to submit
patches towards Debian sid.
But how to combine the growisofs source files of sid to the
source installation which yields the sid growisofs binary ?

In
  https://packages.debian.org/sid/video/dvd+rw-tools
there are
  http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvd+rw-tools/dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.dsc
  
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvd+rw-tools/dvd+rw-tools_7.1.orig.tar.gz
  
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvd+rw-tools/dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.debian.tar.bz2

In dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.debian.tar.bz2 i see a set of patches.
Is there some automat which applies them properly ?


Have a nice day :)

Thomas

You can do it old way:

1) Make your patch(es).
2) Put them into debian/patches.
3) Put the name(s) of your patch(es) into debian/patches/series in the
desired order.
4) quilt will take care of the rest.

Or you can do it new way:

1) Change the source as appropriate.
2) Invoke dpkg-source --commit.
3) quilt will take care of the rest.

First i need to have it. How to apply the patches from
dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.debian.tar.bz2 to the unpacked
dvd+rw-tools_7.1.orig.tar.gz so that i get the same source
that is used for producing Debian binary packages ?

I strive for the source state which the Debian maintainer
of dvd+rw-tools will see when applying and testing my
patch proposals.

Will try to learn about it. Maybe it's the answer to
my question.

Using `apt-get source dvd+rw-tools`, I get the following message:

NOTICE: 'dvd+rw-tools' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control 
system at:
git://git.debian.org/pkg-opt-media/dvd+rw-tools.git

I guess cloning that tree would be the best way of having the same work
environment as the maintainers.

That makes two stacked revision control system, which is a bit clumsy, but I
guess there is no way around it for historical reasons.

A manual way - download these:

http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvd+rw-tools/dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.dsc
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvd+rw-tools/dvd+rw-tools_7.1.orig.tar.gz
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dvd+rw-tools/dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.debian.tar.bz2

Invoke (it should apply patches after the unpacking):

dpkg-source -x dvd+rw-tools_7.1-11.dsc


An automatic way:

Make sure you have 'deb-src' entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Invoke:

apt-get source dvd+rw-tools


To produce *dsc and archives from the modified source tree - use
'dpkg-buildpackage -S'.

Hi,

That's an appealing proposal for a Debian noob like me.

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
says i can do this as normal user.

  ...
  Get:3 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main dvd+rw-tools 7.1-11 (diff) 
[24.3 kB]
  ...
  dpkg-source: info: applying 01-growisofs-pioneer.patch
  ...
  dpkg-source: info: applying 10-blue-ray-bug713016.patch

Looks like the patch list from sid's .debian.tar.bz2.
The version number matches too. This should suffice as base.

  $ cd dvd+rw-tools-7.1
  $ make

one should look for the cause of this message
  /bin/sh: 1: [: 1000: unexpected operator
and whether this is a sign for upcomming trouble
  mp.h:59:9: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size 
[-Wpointer-to-int-cast]

Whatever, i get a runnable growisofs binary:

  $ ./growisofs -version
  * ./growisofs by , version 7.1,
front-ending to genisoimage: genisoimage 1.1.11 (Linux)

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

i submitted

  "dvd+rw-tools: Burn failure of growisofs on DVD-R[W] with write type DAO"

Eike, if have time then please apply the proposed changes
to the source code of growisofs and try whether the error
message is gone. 

I'm not so sure about readbility of the media.

"Maxell" can be a different manufacturer every other week.
Mine ("16x" bought at food discounter Lidl a few years ago)
are from Ritek

  $ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr4 -toc
  ...
  Media product: RITEKF1 , Ritek Corp
  ...

Many years, Verbatim was reliably from "Mitsubishi Kagaku"
or its subsidiaries. But meanwhile i saw Verbatims made by
"Moser Baer India" (aka "MBI").

It might be a problem of the drive or of the media.
Buying new media first is usually the more economic approach.

I'm bumping up the thread with new information: sound works on

Login failure after new install

[Cobra]

I have completed a network installation of 8.1.0. I left the root password 
blank (i.e., disabled root login), supplied a username and password for a 
system management account, and selected GNOME as the only additional software 
to install.

After the installed completed and the system rebooted I was unable to login to 
the system management account via the guy interface (i.e., after entering the 
password the screen went gray for a short time and then the re-presented the 
login display).

I rebooted into recovery mode, changed the management account password, and 
rebooted the system again. The gui login behaved the same. What’s going on?

AFAIK, you have to access to his image using your SSH key (configured from
Horizon, if using OpenStack), all qcow2 images come with cloud-init to get
ssh key from metadata server. User seems to be debian, and then sudo -i to
grant root privileges.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2013/05/msg00121.html

If not working try with admin.

I do not follow completely much of what the OP writes, particularly
"system management account" and "guy interface". Disabling the root
login with the installer simply means administration tasks have to
be carried out with sudo. It does not affect the user account and is
independent of the desktop used.

His problem appear to be he cannot even login to a user account.
Could it be a matter of memory? Not yours or mine - his. :)

Does the login display show an error message, like "Wrong password" ? Or 
is the login screen entirely reset ?


I it is just a wrong password, check the keyboard layout : if you were 
using a different layout in the installer and in the login screen, you 
have to change that of the login screen to enter it correctly.


If the login screen is reset, maybe GNOME can't connect to your account 
for some reason. I saw that when I built a broken encrypted home with 
ecryptfs. Maybe try to login from a TTY ? (you can access TTYs with 
Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6, the GUI is on Ctrl+Alt+F7).


If you can't login at all, try creating a new account from recovery mode.

Oh dear!

For a gentler approach

  systemctl stop avahi-daemon avahi-socket

Maybe

  systemctl disable avahi-daemon avahi-socket

before this.

Why do you think that? Avahi does multicast DNS, which, as far as I
know, has nothing to do with VLANs.

So what makes you think Avahi is the culprit?

That said, if you want to disable it completely:

systemctl stop avahi-daemon.service
systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service

systemctl stop avahi-daemon.socket
systemctl disable avahi-daemon.socket

Then edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and remove all references to mdns4

But this is an old version. :(

And unfortunately the sid version, which is also fixed, is not
installable due to the libstdc++6 transition, which doesn't seem
to have much progress:

  https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/libstdc++6.html

And Firefox cannot play some videos on Debian due to bug 729251.

Found an easy way to keep up to date with Mozilla (who BTW are very good at 
letting you know a newer version is available):

Whenever advised by Firefox that a newer version has been released (like today, 
39.0.3), I download the Linux-64 version from 
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-39.0.3-SSL&os=linux64&lang=en-GB 
save it and untar as root it in /opt, after renaming the existing /opt/firefox/ 
to /opt/firefox.xx.y.z/ just in case I want/need to return to the n-1 version.

Of course my firefox launchers have been modified to point at 
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin  ;-3)
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.

Be so kind and report this by mail to 794...@bugs.debian.org
so the fix gets credibility (if not 3 years of Fedora suffice).

By LG recorder, i suppose you mean a "consumer" video DVD recorder.
So we have three participants of which any quarrelsome pair
could spoil success.

Is the readability of non-DAO DVD-R any better ?
Are the DVD-R from old Debian in VM any better ?
(With poor physical quality one needs a lot of samples
 to get a clear statistical image.)


> >   $ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr4 -toc

Oops. With unused writable DVD-R ?
Now i get curious. Why did libburn API call burn_disc_get_media_id()
not succeed ?

Be so kind and record the SCSI traffic of above run by means
of libburn (btrace does not tell the replies and errors):

  xorriso -scsi_log on -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/xorriso_log

Send /tmp/xorriso_log directly to me. I will post any interesting
findings to the list.

aufofs starting before networking at system boot

[ML mail]

Hello,

I noticed that on my Debian jessie installation by looking in /etc/rc5.d that 
autofs gets started before the networking script. Somehow I think this does not 
make sense and autofs should get started after the networking script.

For example in my case autofs has to query my internal LDAP server to get its 
autofs maps but the network is not available at that stage. The result is that 
when the desktop is ready for a user to login, I do not have any NFS /home 
directory mounted via autofs...

Any suggestions?

Regards
ML

I'm not clear as to what is meant by the word 'firmware' in your Subject:

Also, are there iso's for Wheezy netinstall CDs available online, for

I would be interested to know if I've missed any tricks, but I have
had to do the following after pptpsetup -create...

# ip route change default dev ppp0
so that all the traffic goes to ppp0 (instead of wlan0 as normally).

...and the following after pptpsetup --delete closes it down:

# ip route change default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0
# for j in "$(ip -o route | grep ppp0 | cut -d\  -f 1)" ; do ip route delete 
"$j" ; done
# for j in "$(ip -o route | grep 'via 192.168.1.1' | grep -v default | cut -d\  
-f 1)" ; do ip route delete "$j" ; done

The other wrinkle I've found is that it's worth always running
# pptpsetup --delete foo
(ignoring any error message) before
# pptpsetup -create foo
because that makes sure that /etc/ppp/chap-secrets is clean with
respect to foo. It might not matter for VPNs where the password never
changes, but I think chap-secrets is scanned only as far as the first
match, so a stale password will hide the new one that pptpsetup -create
adds to the end of the file.

One other thing: it would be nice to be able to run get-iplayer
through the tunnel, but I haven't managed it. It gets connected
but no bytes are ever delivered to the local file.

Cheers,
David.
