Problem with offlineimap

[Leandro Noferini]

Ciao a tutti,

from yesterday I cannot fetch my mail with offlineimap because I get this error:

OfflineIMAP 7.0.12
  Licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or any later version (with an OpenSSL exception)
Account sync BBs:

Since offlineimap and server side nothing changed I think the problem would be
in python but I don't know it and I cannot even file a bug report.

Samba help.

[R. Ramesh]

I recently upgraded my debian jesse to 8.6. All of a sudden all samba 
guest access to this box stopped working. I did not update smb.conf file 
any time before or after.  I vaguely remember that there was a flash of 
notes flying by when samba was upgraded, but do not recall what it is.


BTW, I can mount if I provide an actual valid user with password. Only 
guest access does not work.


Linux host 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) 
i686 GNU/Linux

Samba Version: 2:4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u2

Guest access to the following share fails after the upgrade:

[data]
path = /data
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755
public = yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes

If it is not too much trouble, please copy me your responses

Thanks

Hardly. Due to the nature of the package it cannot provide firmware,
especially non-free one. And as a quick search on packages.debian.org
shows us, no Debian package provide those files anyway.

A curious advice to say the least.
Does modesetting xorg module provide OpenGL? What about VAAPI?

Hi,

I have a sound card with the same chip. I noticed that on your
screenshot some channels are muted ("front" for example). Here is a
screenshot with my audio settings.

Just try to unmute muted channels.

Re: Sound Problem

[Jude DaShiell]

If you had your sound set to one speaker system, it could have moved 
back to the old default speaker system with the 3.5mm jack.  That's what 
happened to me last night while playing in tintin-alteraeon and the 
speaker I had configured just threw out a tremendous amount of static 
instead of the speech it was providing before when this system change 
happened.

Thanks for the reply's.  The problem was my bad for not noticing which 
channels were muted on the Audio Mixer.


I have the sound back, but it can be best described as snap, crackle and 
pop!  I have noticed that if I mute the Headphone channel everything 
else is muted.


A screenshot is attached.

Thanks in advance

Oddity noticed installing caja-gksu, Bug?

[Richard Owlett]

I using Debian 8.6.0 [with *NO* updates] from set of purchased 
DVDs. I use the Mate desktop.


When I installed caja-gksu, it did not apparently have any effect 
until after a reboot. Is this expected?


I found no indication either way in a web search.

Having scanned set of installation DVDs...

[Richard Owlett]

I'm tracking down some problems related to chosen install options.
I expect to be making _multiple_ clean installs.
Besides /etc/apt/sources.list, where is information stored after 
having scanned the complete set of DVDs.


I wish to store it to a safe location for use after doing EACH 
clean install.

TIA

Perhaps there are more places, but the package lists are at least in
/var/lib/apt/lists one file for each source (or mirror). I haven't
packages from CDROM, but I'd assume that they might end up there
as well.

Moreover there's a list in /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list containing

The problem is that the server's certificate _needs_ to be changed.
Maybe it is also possible do disable certificate validation but I
recommend against that.

nosh with Debian's sysstat package

[Jonathan de Boyne Pollard]

Someone:

I haven't installed much else yet on the system but I tried the 
sysstat package which gives me the following error:



preset: ERROR: sysstat: No such file or directory


I haven't yet investigated this problem. Sysstat seems to be part of 
the Debconf enable/disable system, I'm not quite sure how that 
interacts with nosh.




This is a good example for general consumption.

The maintenance script for the package is trying to enable the "sysstat" 
service using the "update-rc.d" command.  You've installed the shim for 
this command from the nosh-debian-shims package, so the maintenance 
script is actually ending up trying to preset the "sysstat" service 
bundle using "system-control preset".  You don't have a "sysstat" 
service bundle.  Yet.


Ironically, if the systemd support in Debian's "sysstat" were as good as 
the author's own, you could just make one.  The origin package comes 
with a systemd service unit, built by passing this through a macro 
processor to turn things like @SA_LIB_DIR@ into "/usr/lib/sysstat":


* https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat/blob/master/sysstat.service.in

Debian, however, only builds and packages up a Debian-supplied van 
Smoorenburg rc file.  It doesn't actually package up the systemd support 
that comes from the author.  It does provide the /usr/lib/sysstat/sa1 
script that is referenced by the systemd service unit, however.  So you 
could take the sysstat.service.in, manually make a sysstat.service out 
of it, and pass that through convert-systemd-units to make a service 
bundle that would invoke /usr/lib/sysstat/sa1 .


However, we are heading into systemd House of Horror territory here, as 
Debian also provides a "Debianized" version of the sa1 script as 
/usr/lib/sysstat/debian-sa1 that does the stuff that Debian's van 
Smoorenburg rc script does.  So using what's in the box we would have 
sysstat.service which sets up settings the systemd way, running the 
debian-sa1 script that sets up things the Debian way (reading 
/etc/defaults/sysstat), running the sa1 script that sets things up the 
RedHat/SuSE way (/etc/sysconfig/sysstat).  It's a mess of nested shell 
scripts and overlapping configuration mechanisms.  And that's 
overlooking the surprise secret second service disable mechanism.


The systemd people don't like surprise secret second service disable 
mechanisms, and the modern Debian practice is to not have them.  The 
Debian sysstat package has more than one thing to improve.  Moreover 
there's no real need for all of these configuration mechanisms, 
especially since the underlying command has only two knobs to twiddle in 
the first place.  So start with a more ideal-world version of what 
sysstat should have for systemd: a simple service unit that has 1 
configuration mechanism, and cuts out all of the daft middle-men layers 
of shell scripting entirely.


1. Take this service unit instead.  Call it sysstat.service .
2. Use convert-systemd-units to make a service bundle from it. chown 
everything to root if you didn't do this as root.

3. Place that in /var/local/sv/sysstat .
4. install -d -m 0755 /var/local/sv/sysstat/service/env
5. system-control set-service-env sysstat OPTIONS -D

See what happens when you install the package then.

A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid- ...

My laptop has this problem since this morning.

Each time Debian/Jessie boots, the console shows

[   ***] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid- 
.device ( 9s / 1min 30s)

and then have to wait for 90 seconds to continue boot.


How to solve this problem?

My laptop has this problem since this morning.



Each time Debian/Jessie boots, the console shows



[   ***] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2duuid- 
.device ( 9s / 1min 30s)



and then have to wait for 90 seconds to continue boot.



How to solve this problem?


If john's answer about swap partition mounting didn't provide a solution, tell 
us what was done to change your system before you last shut it down before 
turning it on this morning.


You may be able to answer yourself if you compare the content of /etc/fstab to 
the output from df, mount and 'lsblk -f' to see what didn't get mounted that 
should have been, then repairing /etc/fstab as required.


That delay might also occur on account of booting with a USB stick inserted, 
depending on what actual entries are contained in /etc/fstab.

bugs in reportbug ?

[Frank M]

Tried to file a bug today using reportbug but it crashed:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2233, in 
main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1084, in main
if newui.initialize():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py", line 
1580, in initialize

gi.require_version('Vte', '2.91')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 118, in 
require_version

raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Vte not available

Does this look familiar to anyone ?

I am running 64 bit stretch and reportbug is the latest version.

See #851968 [1] - you will need to install the packages gir1.2-vte-2.91
and python3-gi-cairo for the GTK+ interface to work.

Check to see that smb.conf was not replaced. If it was, the
previous version will be called smb.conf.dpkg-dist or
smb.conf.ucf-dist. You will have to compare them with your
smb.conf file and merge any differences.

-- john


Also check the following in [global] settings:

Change:

map to guest = Bad User

to:

 map to guest = nobody

-- john



Thanks for your help.

I remember that apt-get asked if I wanted my smb.conf to be replaced. I 
said "no." Quick tkdiff between smb.conf and dist version shows that I 
miss these


 server role = standalone server
 map to guest = bad user
 usershare allow guests = yes

Of course, I will fix the second line and add all three and see what 
happens.

Thanks a lot, I forgot to renew that certificate.

Thanks again!

How to reply a list message using Gmail with Evolution?

[River Chiang]

Hello List,

I use Firefox to read lists, when I clicked the link
debian-user@lists.debian.org and tried to reply the message,
Evolution's setup window showed. I tried to setup Evolution to use
Gmail.
Unfortunately I didn't make it.

What mail user agent you use to view/reply messages on this list?

Or how to setup Evolution to use a Gmail account?


Thanks
