If it's the names you are concerned about, then I would recommend not referencing partition numbers or device names directly if at all possible (e.g. sda3 or sdb). Instead label your filesystems (e2label /dev/sda3 MY_LABEL) and refer to the labels (/dev/disk/by-label/MY_LABEL) or use UUIDs. These are more robust against partition changes or disk renumberings. If you want the space back, well, you can try to do some partition surgery but make sure you've got good backups first. For fresh setups I'd always recommend using LVM. If you were already using LVM, you could just reformat the unwanted partition as an LVM PV, add it to your VG and the space could be re-used, without having to muck with the partition table at all. If you are mucking about with the partition tables, bear in mind that the table itself is like a bunch of pointers; so if you dump the table, edit it and re-load it, no data itself will have moved: so if the new table points at different places, you will have lost your filesystems. If you want sda4 to begin where sda3 used to be, you need to move the filesystem as well as rewrite the partition table. This is probably something that (g)parted (or partition magic) can do, but here be dragons, etc. If the now-spare sda3 was large enough, and you were not already using LVM, I'd recommend formatting sda3 as an LVM PV and create a new LVM VG, then an LVM LV; then migrate your data from sda4 into that LV; then format sda4 as an LVM PV and add that into the VG, so you end up with all the space being available, again without changing the partition table at all. -- Jonathan Dowland Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.

Unless you've explicitly told systemd to manage networking, it won't be, so those old config files are left behind because they're actually the current config files. For the default networking setup in Jessie, consider looking at the Debian Administrator's Handbook: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-handbook/sect.network-config.en.html For information on systemd in Jessie (at least by default), see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-handbook/unix-services.en.html#sect.systemd If you *do* want systemd to manage networking, you could look at http://sunweavers.net/blog/node/34 -- Jonathan Dowland Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.

Very insightful. In the interest of newbies (I was that in things
LVM a short while ago) I'll add a bit of explanation for those
mysterious acronyms:
The logical volume manager (LVM) concerns itself with collecting
slices of space from disk (PVs == "physical volumes") into bigger
units (VGs == "volume groups") to then dole out slices of it
("LVs" == "logical volumes") which then can be used as normal
partitions, although their backing store may be scattered across
several partitions (possibly on several "disks"[1])
This can be extremely useful: for example I have encrypted disks
on my laptop (in case it gets lost I can sleep well, because all
those nasty company secrets are not readable to anyone). But still
I have several partitions (/, home, /var, and most prominently,
swap, which I want encrypted as well. Now the LUKS disk encryption
is per "partition" -- at each boot I'd have to enter the LUKS
pass phrase for each of those partitions. Ugh.
No problem with the LVM -- I make one big (physical) partition,
encrypt that with LUKS, give that to the LVM as a physical
volume (PV), the only one in the volume group (VG) and section
that into the logical volumes (LVs) where my different file
systems will reside.
The other day my /var partition was too small. I had spare space
in /home. Using a bit of care (first shrink the file system on
/home) I could transfer as much space as needed to /var.
I think the Wikipedia article[2] is a nice writeup to get started.
[1] I'm using scare quotes there because a disk may denote an SSD, an USB
stick or whatever physical storage medium out there.

The string "graph" does not occur in the text of chapter 5. What the heading says is "5.2.

grub error after kernel upgrade: invalid arch independent elf-magic
Greetings everyone, today I ran into a weird problem I can't get my head around. I run a debian 8 jessie server which was last updated around 4 weeks ago. I did an apt-get update/upgrade today which only involved around 20 packages, one of which was an update to the linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 package. The server has a 2009 asus mainboard which is not uefi capable. It is booted via a 120MB bios_grub type gpt partition and the system resides on the following 2TB ext4 partition. Rebooting after the upgrade led to grub immediately reporting: error: invalid arch independent ELF magic. grub rescue> I then tried to use the rescue prompt to get the system to boot manually. I set the root to (hd0,gpt2) and was able to use ls to navigate to the grub folder. Upon issuing an insmod linux grub immediately responded with: error: invalid arch independent ELF magic. I get the same error if I for example try to insmod configfile or a couple other modules. the modules gzio, part_gpt and ext2 work fine! I then proceeded to boot a grml rescue image from a usb stick and after mounting the root filesystem and taking care of the sys,dev,proc folders I chrooted into the mounted root filesystem and did a: grub-install /dev/sda The grub installation went fine, no errors and after a reboot I did get back the grub boot menu. However trying to boot the first entry which contains the 3.16 kernel image grub responds with: error: invalid magic number. Loading initial ramdisk... error: you need to lead the kernel first If I try to boot the old 3.2 kernel which I still had on that root filesystem instead I can boot the system just fine. I can repeat this behaviour as many times as I want. Doing a grub-install from my booted system leads to the invalid arch message and no way to boot anything. Booting a rescue disk and doing another grub-install gets my system back to the grub menu and I can at least boot the old 3.2 kernel. rinse repeat. After spending more than 10 hours so far on the issue I still don't know what exactly is causing this behaviour. It can't really be an uefi issue as this mainboard is not uefi capable. It has been running fine in legacy gpt mode since 2009. Also I am usure as to what the arch independent elf-magic error message means. And is that the same "magic" as the "invalid magic number" message I can achieve the other way? So, help me please, since I am running out of things to try. Best regards Alexander M.

[debian-user] thunderbird proxy env. vars for socks
Hi, I'm familiar with proxy envirnoment variables such as (both lower and upper case versions): use_proxy soap_use_proxy http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy rsync_proxy no_proxy all_proxy Thunderbird at least pay attention to some of them, and honestly, before I haven't needed anything else. However, inside the company, I need to setup manually under TB: SOCKS Host: <...> Port: <...> As SOCKS v5. Where the socks host is the same as the other proxy hosts, but its socks port must be different than the rest. I don't use any DE, but I have some automation through bash+xinitrc which depends on how to set the env. vars, so that I only need to set on TB/FF "use system proxy settings". I've tried several possible env. vars (both lower and upper case) like: socks_proxy socks_server socks_version smtp_proxy="socks5://:" So far I haven't been able to get any possitive results. Does any one know how I might be able to set socks for TB through env. vars? Thanks, -- Javier

The partition is already properly named. There is nothing wrong in having unused partition entries between used partition entries. The partition table is just that : a table. Why would you want to renumber the partition ? It provides absolutely no benefit and can break things such as the bootloader which may seek data on partitions identified by their numbers.

Stretch color scheme problems
Hi all; Ever since I switch to Stretch I have been having a problem with the color scheme of various applications. I get a lot of black lettering on a black background, white on white and dark blue on black background (impossible to read). I've tried to fiddle with the colors at the kde desktop level and also at the individual application level. There doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern to the problem. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Note: I do not want to change from KDE. I like it a lot. Gary R.

Yes, this helped me. My .avi and .mp4 work now. It did not fix the flickering issue with DVDs. But this is all different story, since in my own believe it is a problem that VLC has with my video card. And since for this I have a solution - SMPlayer, I do not bother. One day it get fixed either with nvidia driver update or with VLC update. Thank you.

Thanks Sven, and Curt, JDD, and Gene. All these leads look promising, and kdenlive certainly does have slideshows right on its menu (and there's a youtube video about how to do it as well). (My actual investigation was kind of lame: i looked up video editor in the wikipedia, and saw there were at least 17 in the free world, and thought somebody on the list would instantly know the direction to take. But actually, i suppose i could have just chosen one at random --- although i would not have heard about Presenter, which i don't think is on the list.

I don't think that's possible. If you want btrfs and encryption the advice is to do the encryption *underneath* btrfs, because btrfs does not support encryption itself. Why, you can also enable hardware encryption in SSD sometimes :) It might not be so strong as LUKS though. Does TRIM work on LUKS, BTW? Certainly barriers shouldn't work, that's probably why Bhasker's FS was damaged.

This isn't what your screenshots appear to show at all. You describe a situation where you cannot access the desktop after your screen blanks/locks when you try to unlock the screen; your screen captures demonstrate a failure to load your login manager on boot. Which of these issues is it? > screencaptures when it bugs: http://imgur.com/a/hVyGd Also, the desktop environment used shouldn't have anything to do with this second issue, rather your LM. What login manager do you use? If in doubt, try dpkg-reconfigure (lightdm or gdm or xdm or whatever).

There is nothing wrong with having sda1/sda2/sda4 as opposed to sda1/sda2/sda3 (though I admit the latter is more aesthetically pleasing), just as sda1/sda5/sda9 is equally valid. Just fight your OCD. Debian will survive having uneven partition numbering, and will continue to work tickety-boo.

I also don't see why GNOME should interfere with things that are essentially command-line operations such as that. Is this some strange GNOME auto-keygen thing? 'Documents collection' - does this mean he has navigated to the Documents folder in Nautilus? Does it mean he has opened the Evince document viewer? > no feedback Where? Via notifications? I wouldn't expect SSH keygen/GPG keygen/whatever to generate GNOME 3 notifications. Forgive my confusion- but I am quite confused.
Re: changing partition names
Why would you want to renumber the partition ? It provides absolutely no benefit and can break things such as the bootloader which may seek data on partitions identified by their numbers. it can get a situation where the partitions are not in the number orde, and some fdisks complain about that, what may make some people feel uncomfortable, but I now of no case where it matters really. here numbers are only name, no more jdd
