No clue aboutthe pi's. They don't have an RTAI kit as its not portable to 
the arms, but a 4.19 built right on the pi, for armhf works reasonably 
well.

Debian is free of charge to use, change, distribute and even sell at a 
price of your chosing[1].

A significant part of the software in Debian is licenced under the GNU 
General Public License (GPL), which requires that all your customers 
have access to the source code of all GPL software. See the GPL for 
details.

It should be possible to bundle Debian with proprietary software.

In any case, you should consult a lawyer familiar with copyright law in 
your jurisdiction.

[1] technically you are selling the medium it is on.

Good evening All


I couldn't help notice how many of you suggested a Raspberry Pi as a 
better alternative to trying to use an old PC, in answer to a recent 
question.



I wondered if some of you would care to join a small user group in 
regional Australia, whose prime purpose is using single board computers. 
Most use Pi's.


We have been meeting on line since April at

https://meet.jit.si/SBCCandSBCGeelongForums

generally for about 2 hours.

Very informal.





To get the timing right as close as possible, it is 17:40  as I send

Thanks Andrei,

You've definitely pointed me in the right direction.

On another host, I ran the installer command:
wget --no-verbose

'^(Suite|Codename|Architectures):'

It worked fine, with a response:
Suite: stable
Codename: Buster
Architectures: amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips mips64el mipsel etc

Running the same command in a console on the installer produced a 
different result:

Unable to connect to host (or something similar)

So I checked the DNS setting and sure enough one digit was off.
Problem solved.

nfacct, ulogd2, possibly iptables-netflow, "ip -s a l" if you need it
quick. Good old cacti can be used for this, although it's probably an
overkill in your case.

I need to Monitor my monthly traffic, send and receive from my ISP.
In the datacenter we used nfdump. but this is a bit over killed i think.
I will try to use vnstat.

Can you not just look at your router? The large majority record
traffic, you just have to remember to look every month and then clear it
manually.

Some routers allow a fair bit to be done remotely, either through http
or ssh, though it's often difficult to get documentation.

The release notes for buster say that it requires a 3.2 kernel due
to GNU libc.

https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#glibc-and-linux

This is the reason why my VPS, which is running under a 2.6 kernel,
cannot be upgraded past stretch.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no reason Gene couldn't run
buster with his 3.10 kernel.  At least, nothing in the release notes
counter-indicates it.  Actual experience may dictate otherwise.

The other consideration in the case of the pi's is that up until part way 
thru the 4.19 series, there was no support for its video hdwe, forceing 
us to use the framebuffer, whose update rate is about 2 to 3 fps at 
best.  With that support enabled, full screen glxgears runs at 60 fps. 
Without that, the backplot for linuxcnc is 2 or 3 seconds behind the 
machine.

What has amazed me from the gitgo, is that the single most popular by a 
wide margin, arm based board, outnumbering all others combined by a wide 
margin, gets zero support from debian. I did a netinstall of buster, 
which almost worked, but because it was for arm64, had unusable for 
linuxcnc multi-millisecond latency, where the armhf can do latencies of 
15 microseconds, not great, but good enough.  And it took me a couple 
days after the install, to get enough networking stuff blown away and 
make it work on my host file based network. I spent weeks building 
preempt-rt kernels without building anything that would install. 
Questions asking for help were always blown off.

Then I found raspbian was also makeing buster, but for armhf.  And they 
could supply the src for a realtime-preempt kernel, no support, just the 
src. So I built it, and using what I learned, I figured out a way to 
install it, and made a 30meg tarball others could install. You can even 
get it from my web page. But the install is not by conventional methods, 
read and follow the readme.

So please tell me why, despite all the other distributions using your 
code base to make extremely stable versions of buster, has debian rather 
pointedly, indeed gone out of your way, to unsupport the rpi's?

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

ulogd2 is probably the simpliest then, but you'll need a database to

I don't understand your objection -- to you object to prices in general, or

where a product is available.)  Hmm, maybe I have to look up the :p emoticon 
(or whatever it is called) ...

Ok, one defintion from a google search:

The "P" is a mouth with the tongue sticking out. :P. Frustrated or Sticking 
Tongue Out. Google Frustrated or Sticking Tongue Out Emoticon. This emoticon 
can be used for expressing frustration, indicating tiredness, or just being 
silly.

I can look for the reference, but somewhere I read (recently, but as with all 
google searches, it could have been from the previous century) something to 
the effect that, well, I forget which way it worked, but somehow that maybe non 
backport applications would get a pin value like 100 so that backport 
applications would only be installed if somehow they had a higher pin value 
(or something like that).

Maybe that goes out the window if all / the only repositories were backport 
repositories?

Darn. I shouldn't have said that -- I seem to be going down the rabbit hole 
;-(

I've decided to think further about a possible bug report, and the following 
is sort of a first draft / thinking out loud approach to the subject (with some 
false starts along the way.  I had a headache when I wrote this, I'm trying to 
dress it up a little, but not sure how well I'll do.

I see it in two parts (as you read on) -- first establishing the possible 
situations reflected by the existing message, and then some brainstorming on 
possible changes to the message.

The messages is like this:

= 
Depends: libwxbase3.0-dev (= 3.0.2+dfsg-4) but 3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is to be 
installed
=

There can be 2 (or 3?) cases when that message appears:

   * the bpo9 (to use some improvised shorthand) version is to be installed, 
but would not satisfy the dependency for the package you've asked apt-get (or 
similar) to install (can this be the case? -- this is not the case I 
encountered, and I'm not 100% sure it can occur -- more discussion somewhere 
below)

   * the bpo9 version is already installed, but does not satisfy the 
dependency for the package you've asked apt-get (or similar) to install (this 
is the case I encountered (for openssh-server on Wheezy))

   * is there another case?

So, I don't like the wording as is (I mean, it took me (and, apparently, Gene) 
too much effort to understand it).  

I'm not sure I like calling it a candidate, either, especially if it is 
already installed.  

And, if the only case is the one where it has already been installed (I bring 
this up because the 2nd is the only case that I've encountered (iirc)), then 
wording more like might be more helpful:

Depends: libwxbase3.0-dev (= 3.0.2+dfsg-4) is required, but 
3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is installed

Hmm, maybe the first case can come up when the non-bpo9 version is already a 
dependency for some other package, and removing it to install the bp09 would 
break that other package (not the one that apt-get is attempting to install)?

But for that case, wording like this might be better:

Depends: libwxbase3.0-dev (= 3.0.2+dfsg-4) is required for , but 3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is installed (required) 
for 

 might display the list of other packages, or just say 
"other packages" (as long as there is a tool to easily discover those other 
packages, which I believe there is, but I can't instantly recite the tool / 
command).

Or, somewhat combinging the two cases (that I've discussed so far) -- for 
either case (note the optional part (in square brackets)):

Depends: libwxbase3.0-dev (= 3.0.2+dfsg-4) is required for , but 3.0.4+dfsg-4~bpo9+1 is installed [for 
]

An alternate wording to consider if the current installed version (the bpo9) 
version could be " ... is an orphan"  (Even though, in a way, iiuc, that 
should not occur -- I mean, iiuc, if a package is not required, running apt-
get -autoremove will remove such packages.  

Hmm, I guess add  a caveat / question -- if a package has been installed as a 
dependency for an application / program installed by the user by means other 
than the debian packaging system, I don't think that apt[-get] will recognize 
it as a dependency?

As another comment, now that I understand the message, it isn't as hard to 
understand, but what about the next newbie to that message?

Installed Alsa, asound

OS Debian 10

Hi all,

I have standard alsa sound installed in my system and it works fine 
for most things. Recently I started using Zoom, have installed a 
Logitech C920 webcam with stereo microphones and a Sennheiser 
HD4.50BTNC headphones with stereo microphones. I now have a conflict 
between the mic inputs from the two devices. The bluetooth 
connections is through a dongle plugged into one of my usb ports. The 
Logitech also plugs into one of my usb ports.


I want to use the mics from the HD4.50 and shut down the mics on the 
Logitech. I also want to shut down the speaker bar on my monitor and 
just use the headphones. How do I do this.


Another want is to have a graphic equalizer in the chain. I can't 
seem to find any software that would do this.


All help will be sincerely appreciated.

Have you tried pulseaudio?

If the devices are visible to pulse then pavucontrol can connect and 
control volumes of all the devices. pulseaudio even has many modules 
like a loop device to extend pulseaudio.

Yes I have pulseaudio, pulseaudio volume and any other associated 
package that I could find. The problem seems to be that pulseaudio does 
not recognize my headset microphones. They don't show up in the device 
list.


I also find it a bit confusing when the volume panel lists front and 
back microphones when there is no back microphone. The front one seems 
to be the mic's on my webcam. The back one ???

Error while trying to install openssh-server on Buster

[rhkramer]

I get this error when trying to apt-get install openssh-server on my (up to 
date) Buster system:

Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit -.mount is 
masked.

I tried (based on the reference below):

root@s32:/# systemctl unmask org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked
Unit org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked.service does not exist, proceeding 
anyway.

I don't really have a clue.  One googled page suggests 


Situation

Checking the status of a service shows it is masked.

Running systemctl unmask  doesn't change the status.


Resolution
The systemd unit file is empty.  Replace it in /usr/lib/systemd/system by 
reinstalling the package in which the unit file was contained.

Debian 10.4 blank screen After new install

[Edward M Kent]

Hello All,   I am an old Nube trying to get set up to use a Beaglebone on
some projects.  I thought I had a successful install after a list of tasks
was displayed down the screen's left hand edge.  The list went blank and
left a - in the upper left corner.  This curser soon disappeared leaving a
blank screen.  The mouse cursed did show up but was a bit erratic.  I
rebooted several times and ended back at the same place.
This is on a win10 Dell and I can not get back to win10 because I did not
get the dual boot setup.
Thanks for any advice.
Mick

Hi,

Try Boot-Repair.

Thanks Umarzuki,  I will take your advice and make a bootable repair disk
tomorrow. Too late tonight.  I used f10 on reboot and now have win10.
