Compiling coreutils from source
Hi everyone, I'm trying to static linking the coreutils. But for some reasons it fails with a cryptic bug for me. For building I'm using the vagrant box deb/jessie-amd64. So anyone who is interested can reproduce it. I have done the following steps: > $ apt-get source coreutils > $ cd coreutils-8.23/ > $ export CFLAGS="-static -O2 -g" > $ ./configure > $ make And ended up whit this error: > /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/crtbeginT.o: relocation > R_X86_64_32 against `__TMC_END__' can not be used when making a shared > object; recompile with -fPIC I tried to recompile it with -fPIC options like mentioned from the error... > $ make clean > $ export CFLAGS="-static -O2 -g -fPIC" > $ make ... and ended up with the same error. I googled a bit around and found this stackoverflow questions which sounds similar to my problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/530617/how-to-make-a-static-binary-of-coreutils But also the approved solution did not work for me. Can someone explain me what I'm missing? :) I would also be interested what this message means and if it can be ignored or anything should be done: > /home/vagrant/coreutils-8.23/src/whoami.c:85: warning: Using 'getpwuid' in > statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from > the glibc version used for linking Cheers Flo signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

At least, mine does, consistently, when I use my ISP's server and not when I use Google's SMTP server. This will come back top me. Lisi

What I can tell you is that, in the past, I have been successful with making local modifications to the coretuils package by following a procedure similar to the following: apt-get source coreutils rm coreutils_* cd coreutils-8.23 . . make local modifications . dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -rfakeroot Once quirk of the build process for this package is that you use fakeroot debian/rules clean1 to do a clean, rather than the usual fakeroot debian/rules clean I don't know if this helps or not. -- .''`.

[WPS] a start job is running for lsb raise network interfaces
Hi, I want to configure my system to use WPS, so I put this into /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf And this into /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 update_config=1 If I run "wpa_cli wps_pbc" everything works flawlessly, and it updates my wpa_supplicant.conf with the wifi association details. Unfortunately, when I reboot my system without any association in wpa_supplicant.conf (or when the access point is out of range) it gets stuck at "a start job is running for lsb raise network interfaces". Any idea? Thanks, Niccolò Belli

I've got some links "somewhere" for copying DVDs to files such that checksums can be verified. Suspect that info may useful. Depending on the DVD medium type you have to expect trailing garbage after the end of the ISO. This has to be taken into respect when copying, diffing, or md5summing. I would use for copying from DVD to disk: blocks=$(expr $(/sbin/isosize /dev/sr0) / 2048) echo "Byte count: $(expr $blocks '*' 2048)" dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=$blocks of=dvd8_2.iso (It would be nice if Debian's MD5SUMS would not only tell MD5 and image name but also the image size, or if there was a SIZES file.) Error messages from dd or dvd8_2.iso turning out smaller than the announced byte count indicate failure of copying. It appears that all of my dvd8_*.iso (except possibly dvd8_1.iso) were defective. Using instructions above to create dvd8_2.iso apparently works. Don't know what I did wrong last time around. I started over again. I switched to a laptop dedicated to things that may not work as expected. For some of my projects I regularly wipe the disk and do a complete reinstall of Debian. Currently I'm running Debian 8.0 with Mate as DE. No updates.

In that, the Intel card drives the display but can either use its own, low-power 3D engine, or a higher-power one provided by the NVIDIA device. As I understand it, in this configuration, the NVIDIA card can't drive the display by itself (in contrast to a dual-card configuration in a desktop, where both cards would have monitor ports). In order to get Optimus working with linux, you need to install Bumblebee. This page[1] should give you the information you require there.

Li Wei wrote: > I have attach the calc file, it's in Chinese, (sorry) > my question is how to display sum(N1:N8) in cell N9 I can see it now. N1:N8 do not contain numbers; they contain alphanumeric strings. If you select N1, then this is what you see in the formula bar: '-755.68 The apostroph it starts with, shows that this string is alphanumeric. I don't know how you got those numbers there in the first place. There must be a better way. But there is a workaround. Insert a new column O (next to N) and put this formula in O1: =N1+0 (0 = zero) In LibreOffice, an addition like this converts the alphanumeric string into a number. Now copy O1 to O2:O8 and you'll see that SUM(O1:O8) in O9 works.

Command interpretation is supposed to depend on the shell interpreter (e.g. bash, dash, ksh) and not on the terminal emulator (e.g. xterm, gnome-terminal, Konsole). On the first hand we have to concentrate on the messages from the dd runs which deliver too few bytes in the .iso files. After a dd run turned out to copy not enough bytes, look into the system log whether any error message about "sr0" has been freshly recorded.

But I had no problems until a couple years ago, and then ONLY with the Debian list, which continues to this day. Plus, now, my replies don't get mirrored back anymore, and every time I send an email I get a SSL Certificate requester and have to "Save and Continue." The latter only started a week or so ago.

Installing debian on qosmio laptop
Hi I have a Qosmio G25 that I have had for some year. It has been a dual boot system with Windoz XP on one 60GB drive and Debian Wheezy on the other 60GB drive using a Grub2 loader. I recently tried to up grade to Jessie and the installation now hangs on boot. There is also problems with the Windows side as well. The short tale is that I want to reformat both disks and install Jessie from scratch. I have both a stick netinstall and and a DVD netinstall available. For some reason I can't find a set of instructions that cover installation from scratch. All seem to assume that windows or some such is already installed. Neither my stick or my DVD will start on boot up no matter what I try. The BIOS on this system is a bit strange but on boot up there is an option to select what device is to be booted if you are quick. I know that some of the bells and whistles on the laptop won't have drivers available in linux but don't care. Knoppix boots fine. Could this be used for what I want to do. Does anyone know where I can find a concise set of instructions for a "cold iron" installation. Gary R.

Hi, According to this site, that system should be quite well-supported: http://www.linlap.com/toshiba_dynabook_qosmio_g25 I'm not sure why you can't find instructions for a clean install? Most installation guides assume you start from scratch, there's also the Debian installation guide: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual It's possible that you might not be able to boot from USB, it can be a finicky system, or maybe a bad USB drive, or a problem with how you transferred the image to the drive. Booting from CD or DVD should not be a problem, have you validated the checksum after download and burnt the disc correctly? How do you boot into Knoppix? If there isn't time to select the boot device during startup, you should be able to enter the BIOS and change the boot drive manually. From a quick skim through Google it seems to be either Esc or F1.

Well, I can get you half-way there.
for f in /media/distributionA/*.iso; do
bn="$( basename "${f}" .iso )"
dn="$( dirname "${f}" )"
mount "${f}" /mnt/cdrom -o loop
rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom "${dn}/${bn}"/

Now you'll have in addition to the above:

..
/media/distributionA/DVDn/ …
I'm not sure how you'd go about merging the repositories together.
Someone else can help with that.

Neither my stick or my DVD will start on boot up no matter what I try. The BIOS on this system is a bit strange but on boot up there is an option to select what device is to be booted if you are quick. I know that some of the bells and whistles on the laptop won't have drivers available in linux but don't care. Knoppix boots fine. Could this be used for what I want to do. Does anyone know where I can find a concise set of instructions for a "cold iron" installation. Gary R. Hi, According to this site, that system should be quite well-supported: http://www.linlap.com/toshiba_dynabook_qosmio_g25 That a good site to remember. Thanks I'm not sure why you can't find instructions for a clean install? Most installation guides assume you start from scratch, there's also the Debian installation guide: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual Chapter 3.1 step 5 - Boot the installation system. And that is where my problem starts. There is no installation system. Or are they saying that the CD will auto start. It won't. Now what? It's possible that you might not be able to boot from USB, it can be a finicky system, or maybe a bad USB drive, or a problem with how you transferred the image to the drive. Tried this to no avail. Tried 3 different usb drives. The travel mouse worked fine so no problem with the usb ports. Booting from CD or DVD should not be a problem, have you validated the checksum after download and burnt the disc correctly? How do you boot into Knoppix? The Knoppix DVD took of like a shot. No problem getting it to load. I think I have burned a half dozen netinstall cds and dvds. None would auto start. If there isn't time to select the boot device during startup, you should be able to enter the BIOS and change the boot drive manually. From a quick skim through Google it seems to be either Esc or F1. HTH, Actually, the bios has a neat feature. There are 5 icons that show up on the bottom of the first screen. They are HD1, HD2, CD, FD ( none exists) and network. By quickly hitting the right/left arrow keys you can pick which device from which you wish to boot. If I select the CD icon with the Knoppix disk installed Knoppix starts to immediately load. No debian netinstall disk that I have tried has worked. This is not too surprising since the loading files in the disk seem to be windoz startup files. One article I found suggested that going to the /install directory might be a way to start the disk. Doesn't work. I just formatted HD2 to a standard ext4 partition with swap space. Now the system drops to grub rescue mode when started. I need to do some studying on this. May have some possibilities. Gary R.

The problem seems to be an incomparability between my other linux machine and the Qosmio. I had been downloading and burning with my desktop debian box and the files are not compatible with the Qosmio DVD reader. The Matshita DVD drive is noted for its quirkiness. I downloaded to the Qosmio Windoz XP and burned the disk with a Roxio burner. This works fine. Thanks for all your support. Gary R.

suppress document printing status window
On Debian Jessie xfce, every time cups prints a document, a printing status window appears in the upper right corner of the screen, telling me that the document has been sent to the printer, then another appears to tell me that printing of the document is complete. How can I suppress these bothersome status messages? RLH

You don't need to upgrade VNC server, you need to upgrade to VNC client that supports TLS-over-VNC. Or to disable VNC encryption altogether. The problem is - about the only client that seems to support that cryptic 'VNC security type 18' seems to be Remmina. So - you need to connect from the Windows client - you need to have an insecure configuration on server side. Presumably - it's done like this: gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false Reco
