Re: Weird graphical glitches bug with gdm3 and gnome on stretch

[Alessandro Vesely]

Interesting...  My system seems to be worse than yours, as it crashes outright
rather than producing inconsistent behavior.  I also use radeon, but don't know
if that issue is hw-related.

Try booting an old 3.* kernel, if you still have one.  That restored my
system's reliability.  Check dmesg differences between kernel 4 and 3.

I'm no kernel expert.  I'm seeking help myself, but the "Chevrolet users'
support group" doesn't seem to be much responsive these days...

Sadly, no, Base is extremely flaky, and doesn't seem to have many
users. Chicken and egg.

Is there a possibility of using a different data type, or of also
running mysql/mariadb? I have reasonable success with data access using
mysql, the part I have major trouble with is report writing, which
stopped altogether for a couple of weeks recently. I had to resort to
writing a php report generator for the specific one I needed quickly.

Has this ever worked for you?

Debian-installer with preseed file without access to Internet

[Marek Salwerowicz]

Hi list,


I'm working on preseed file located on a USB stick with Debian DVD image 
(automated installation in non-network environment).



How can I configure debian-installer to use only local DVD image instead 
of a network mirror ?

  Hi Alexander,
  the output was the same as yours, with just my UUID instead of yours.
  Anyway, I found a simple way to avoid wasting time with hibernate:

  - for short term, only use suspend at lid close (I have to check now
what is the battery life)
  - for long term, shutdown/reboot !! It's just a few seconds more
than the not working hibernate.

thank you for your help

And beides Base being flaky, if you run i386 you run into the still unfixed
regression in the kernel breaking Java (well, stuff embedding the JVM) on
i386. (not on amd64).

And given the internal db is hsqldb - so *is* Java - and thus the JVM gets
initialized...

https://lwn.net/Articles/727206/



https://lwn.net/Articles/727703/







See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865303 and 
"friends".  

  
Somewhere there is also the boot option to disable the security(!) fix  



to make Java work again.  

Your fault for still using i386 then. (Don't get me wrong: the regression
should be fixed, nevertheless, sure.)

Yes, it's the only bit of Base I use that does need Java. It works
poorly at best, and it just stopped for a while. No bits missing, as
far as I could see, bearing in mind that I run sid, but no dice.

I fired up my wife's computer and used Access to get the job done
immediately, but I've been trying to leave Access for ten years or
more, so I had a go with fpdf with php, and can now produce my most
important reports (i.e. invoices) if Base goes walkabout again.

Try running "libreoffice --base" in a terminal window, and see if that
gets you viable error messages. I just tested it, and it did bring up
the Database Wizard.

It's just something I picked up along the way about how Libreoffice
opens each feature. "--calc" gets the k/t for having taught me that a
long time ago and most likely via a right click over an Applications
menu entry... or something similar.. a long time ago... :)

selinux in debian 9

[Marek Eliáš]

Hello,

I am trying to set up selinux on my laptop with a fresh installation of 
debian 9.1, and I have big troubles to make it boot.


I think that I did everything according to the wiki page
https://wiki.debian.org/SELinux/Setup
- installed the packages:
i selinux-basics   0.5.6  0.5.6 
   
i A   selinux-policy-default   
2:2.20161023.1	2:2.20161023.1
i auditd   1:2.6.7-2  1:2.6.7-2 
   
i A   setools  4.0.1-64.0.1-6   
   
- run selinux-activate (with subsequent reboot, relable, reboot)
- run check-selinux-installation which complained about missing 
/etc/default/rcS
so I added the file with content "FSCKFIX=yes" and the script stopped 
complaining and returned 0.


After this, my system worked in permissive mode.

However, if I tried to switch to enforcing mode (either using 
/etc/selinux/config or by kernel command line parameter), I never managed 
to boot.


I tried audit2allow using the input from /var/log/audit/, from journalctl 
(not everything is apparently in audit log) and also something that I could 
see in the display during the failed startups, and including this as a 
module, but never even managed to get to the single-user mode.
I would guess that booting in permissive mode, parsing audit log with 
audit2allow and including this into my policy would solve the problem, but 
it does not.


My installation uses systemd, although I am not very familiar with it.
I am not sure whether it is ok to send the output of audit2allow as an 
attachment, since it contains a few hundred lines. But I can quote several 
lines.


allow bootloader_t mount_var_run_t:file { getattr open read write };
allow bootloader_t udev_var_run_t:file { getattr open read };
allow bootloader_t user_home_dir_t:dir read;
allow bootloader_t var_lib_t:dir { add_name create mounton read remove_name 
rmdir write };
allow dhcpc_t avahi_exec_t:file { execute execute_no_trans getattr open 
read };

allow ifconfig_t apmd_var_run_t:file read;
allow local_login_t gkeyringd_exec_t:file execute;
allow local_login_t unlabeled_t:file { getattr open read };
allow ntpd_t init_t:file { open read };
allow sulogin_t locale_t:dir search;
allow sulogin_t locale_t:file read;
allow sulogin_t locale_t:lnk_file read;
allow system_cronjob_t http_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;
allow system_cronjob_t mtrr_device_t:file getattr;
allow systemd_hostnamed_t init_t:dbus send_msg;
allow systemd_logind_t apmd_t:dir search;
allow systemd_logind_t user_runtime_t:sock_file unlink;
allow systemd_passwd_agent_t lvm_t:dir search;
allow systemd_passwd_agent_t lvm_t:file { getattr open read };
allow systemd_passwd_agent_t sysfs_t:file { getattr open read };

Am I doing something wrong, or is selinux even supported in stretch?
If the policy package was missing, the those types would not even exist and 
the respective files would not have such labels (it's a fresh installation 
on a brand new laptop). On the other hand, many of those permissions are 
about very basic parts of the system (sulogin, dhcpc, systemd_logind...).


I stopped my effort because I stopped seeing any new auditd logs which 
would move me further. Does anyone have any advice?


thanks,

marek

Debian 9 static IP [Failed:] messages at boot?

[John Conover]

I assigned a static IP via XFce:

Menu->Settings->Network Connections->->Wired->Wired
connection 1 1->Edit->IPv4 Settings

These settings work, but early in boot, the following messages is
issued:

Is that a problem? Can the message be suppressed?

Scanner problem

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe]

Hi,


Two scanners: 1=Epson; 2=canon. 1 works fine, as root and as user. Canon
works as root but not as user, scanimage and sane-find-scanner do not
find it.


While /dev/bus/usb/001/0XX is owned by root:root,, but as well by the
scanner group (where my user is), it is not the case with Canon, the
device is owned only by root:root.


If I do setfacl -mgroup:scanner:rw- the scanner works as regular user.


My questions:

1. Why permissions are set properly for Epson and not Canon?

2. How can I create a Udev rule to fix itN

3. Should I reportbug to the sane package?


Thanks. If I should write to another list such as debian-sane or
whatever, tell me.


Best regards,

Buster SSH

[Glenn English]

Is there something peculiar with SSH on Buster?

The key login doesn't seem to work very well -- root going out works
to hosts (Wheezy, Jessie, and the one before Wheezy), but the user
(me) doesn't. And nothing works coming in. Everything is fine on the
non-Buster hosts.

I bought a laptop recently, pulled out the Winders, and installed
Buster (testing and non-free have software to make the thing work).

Since the dark ages, I've been able to get around to several places
with the same .ssh directory and the same login key.

I've had to enable login by password to access hosts that've worked
before. I've got ssh-client and ssh-server installed.

Helping Debian Astro 1.0 Spread Their Word

Hi.. This is a quick email to help forward the message that there is
something called Debian Astro... floating around out there. The

Today's email response from Ole Streicher:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-astro/2017/09/msg1.html

Am forwarding on the a-sumption that there will be others who have
never heard of Astro and might be interested in checking it out. A
partial blip from the above posts in the interest of providing a
description:

No, but there are similarities.
They are both systems, one is for transportation the other for communication,
which are relatives to each other.  The one developed to relieve the pain of 
the first.

They are both vehicles.  The later was used for systemd to dominate an industry.

They are/were marketed to the wrong market.  The corvair was not a bad car,
just wasn't meant for people who didn't understand it as being different.  It
was like a Karman-Ghia but with deadlier potential.  And that wasn't presented 
as
a warning at the time of marriage.  If you don't know what you are doing you 
should
either leave everything else you are doing in life and learn or you are going 
to crash.
Debian too, is developing with the market of enterprise in its secret mind, but 
allowed
people to believe that it is a system for single user personal computing.  
WRONG!

The customer support (this list/or the Chevy sales dept) have the same nasty
attitude.  Every time the customer complains of something the "experts" instead
of trying to see what the problem really is they are trying to locate unique
individual excuses of what the customer did wrong with their fine product.
At least the ones that survived to ask a question get this treatment.

Whether you have a new pc or an old pc it makes no difference.

I'm just feeding off your words such as key login. I don't know if
it's related or not, but I've been having that occasional extra step
that shows up before you can access your browser. I can't remember the
exact message, but last time it was something to the effect that
something didn't toggle on (login key didn't get unlocked?), likely at
bootup, and that it had something to do with keyring(s).

"Coincidentally" and/or maybe not was that debian-archive-keyring just
updated so maybe something else related also upgraded at the same
time. Be it related or not, I haven't seen that message since but have
only rebooted maybe once or twice. It could end up happening again on
the next reboot. Time will tell :)

It will indeed. I'll check to be sure my keyrings are all up to date,
but I can't understand how a Debian keyring could have anything to do
with SSH.

Unless a maintainer got a bright idea...

Thanks.   I've searched for the answer but nothing makes any sense 
and many of the answers are very old  The youtube screen points me 
to a page about firefox and html5 but I can't find out how to fix the 
problem..


What browser and version, and what YouTube URL?

Kind regards,

Re: Buster SSH

[Alexander V. Makartsev]

There were changes in SSH in stretch. And since you told about your
super old ".ssh" folder you keep tagging along, it could be the reason
it causes problems for you.
Here, take a look at release notes:

Wow! There sure were. Some of them don't apply, but some of them
might. I'll look into them. The permissions issues look especially
promising (root works, others don't).

Thanks.

Mismatch of wxglade and wxwidgets

[Brendan Simon (eTRIX)]

I'm running Debian 8 Jessie.

There seems to be a mismatch between wxglade (`python-wxglade`) and
wxwidgets (`python-wxgtk3.0`)

If I install wxglade and run it, I can choose to generate code for wx
2.6 or 2.8 compatibility.  However the wx widgets that are installed use
wx 3.0.

It seems to me that wxglade needs to be updated in Jessie, to be
compatible with the installed wxwidgets.

According to the webpage at sourceforge, wxglade v0.7 added wx 3.0
compatibility and removed wx 2.6.

    http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/

v0.7.2 is latest release according to the sourceforge page, however the
BitBucket repository states that it is out of date and to use the latest
in the repository (a new maintainer).

    https://bitbucket.org/wxglade/wxglade

### How do I request getting `python-wxglade` updated to at least
version 0.7.2 ??

Regards,
Brendan.
