Maybe there is a widely used open > source network software tool where people discuss network questions. I too have been wondering about this. There used to be some usenet news groups. I did manage to find the old comp.networks group but it's not well attended. https://groups.google.com/g/comp.networks When I have networking questions, I try to narrow them down to a specific area. For example, if it's about Ubiquiti routers, I'll post on the Ubiquiti forum. If it's an OpenVPN issue, I end up posting on that forum. If it seems like a networking issue in Debian, here is very appropriate and there's lots of experienced folks here. But where to post some general networking issue that's not specific and you are completely in the dark as to where to start, yah I sure, start here if you're using Debian on at least one thing you can't get to the network. I wouldn't ask an Android or windows question here but if say your problem occurs on Debian and not on Android, yah very appropriate to ask here. In relation to your question which seems like it's Android related, I'd see if it also happens if you access thoses sites in Debian. If yes, then it's a general problem. If no, then I'd probably post on a forum like the Andronix Forum. If both, then this is possibly something with the internet connection or wifi router. Many router manufacturers and ISPs have help forums. Thing is, these days, there's so much networking stuff out there that if there is an active general networking help list (which there may be and I haven't found it), it'd probably have so much chatter on it that it may not be useful. One needs to narrow down the scope at least a bit to find some forum which might help, even if someone points you to another forum which ultimately helps you. Without more info, I'd say you may have some DNS resolution problem. Is there some firewall blocking access to some sites? Are you using anything like Pi-hole, VPN, or some browser extension which might be trying to do some weird VPN like stuff? What happens when you try with something running Debian? Can you narrow it down to a sitiation where it always works and one where it always fails? Michael Grant signature.asc Description: PGP signature

shim_init error for debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-kde.iso
Hi, I do not know to which mailing list I should send this request/bug report since it is not obviously related to a particular package. I'd be grateful for your help. I use a Fujitsu Lifebook A3510 which only has uefi boot as an option (no more legacy boot available). Secure boot is disabled. The BIOS is Insyde H20 v. 1.10 (04/23/2021). On this machine, I have installed openSUSE Leap 15.3. I want to use the debian live system (in fact, I want to use GParted which is based on debian). Thus, I downloaded the debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-kde.iso (checksum OK) and copied to a USB-Stick. This stick boots the live system OK on another Fujitsu Lifebook (E756) which still has the legacy boot process, so I guess it is a valid bootable medium. Now, on the A3510 with uefi boot, the boot process stops quickly with the following error message: set_second_stage() failed: Invalid Parameter Something has gone seriously wrong: shim_init() failed: Invalid Parameter As a result, the live system of course is not available. In fact, the very same error occured with the original openSUSE Leap 15.3 installation medium, when I first set up the machine. This problem was resolved by substituting the file bootx64.efi in EFI/BOOT by an updated version (see the discussion in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187280) provided in an updated shim package shim-15.4-11.31.x86_64.rpm. Unfortunately, my knowledge of the details of the boot process is limited and not sufficient to analyze whatever has been updated in this package. I do not know if such a package exists in the debian distribution, but of course, the file bootx64.efi also exists on the debian live system USB-key as generated above. Is there any way to create a debian compatible bootx64.efi that would solve the boot problem? I am prepared to send you any additional information needed, if you guide me to find it (I have no previous debian experience ...).

In general they aren't necessary these days, as the parameters can be obtained from the hardware automatically. If the hardware doesn't support that, it probably isn't a situation where setting it manually will matter.

I trying compile an example of a book.
The program use three classes: Book, Customer and Library.
The question is offtopic for debian-user, how did it get here?
Also, how are subject and content related?
When giving the source code, give it in entirety, i.e. including the missing
"customer.h", "library.h" and others. Also, for such long source codes,
it seems preferrable to provide them as an attachment rather than inline.
Book.cpp
#include
[...]
When i compile the example with the following command:
g++ -g -Wall Book.cpp book.h -o book
The result expected is bad.
Book.cpp:1:10: fatal error: Set: No existe el fichero o el directorio
#include
^
compilation terminated.
[...]
The book is C++17 By Example, published by Packt.
[...]
The immediate problem is with the case "Set" vs. "set". In your source code
above you correctly have `#include `, but the error message suggests
that the `Book.cpp` you are trying to compile still has `#include ` as
displayed by the compiler.
In fact, this seems to be a known erratum for the book sample codes:
https://github.com/PacktPublishing/CPP17-By-Example/issues/1
Clone the repository to get the entire sample source code. I could get to
compile the `Chapter04` example by making changes as attached in
`patchbook.patch`. Apply it with
patch --strip 1 < patchbook.patch
from inside the repository.

William, [DISCLAIMER: I'm not a C++ expert by any measure. I do passably well with C. For example, I don't know whether the C++ #include directive has some extensions wrt the C one.

That said... > The program use three classes: Book, Customer and Library. ... your problem doesn't seem to come from "classes" > *Book.cpp* > > #include #include #include #include #include > #include using namespace std; The line above looks very strange. Usually there is one #include directive per line. Something seems broken with your "book". Moreover, the included things are files, and by convention they have a suffix ".h", for "header". I'd expect the above to look rather like #include #include #include #include #include #include (NOTE: they start at the very beginning of the line: indentation here is for readability). Or something similar. Plus, you'd have to adapt your compiler options for it to actually find those files: quoting them between "<...>" will direct it to look into /usr/include. A "/usr/include/string.h" does exist (most of the time ;-), but typically no "/usr/include/set.h", so you'll have to adapt the compiler call (via the -I option). If your book doesn't explain this, it is very broken indeed. I'd look for another book :-) Likewise, I'd expect that last thing: using namespace std; to appear in a line of itself. [...] > g++ -g -Wall Book.cpp book.h -o book > > The result expected is bad. > > Book.cpp:1:10: fatal error: Set: No existe el fichero o el directorio Another suggestion: when posting on international mailing lists, set your locale to something with English error messages (for example, do "export LANG=C"). Most people won't be able to understand Spanish error messages. When asking for help, it helps helping others to help you :) > #include > ^ > compilation terminated. What this is telling you is that the compiler has looked into all what it considers to be system directories and hasn't found a file named like this. Probably not surprising. The code you showed looks suspicious anyway, as stated above. > This example was tested from another compiler. The library is not > recognized. > > *The book is C++17 By Example, published by Packt.* If your book doesn't tell you (at least roughly) how to talk to your C++ compiler, I'd suggest looking for another book :) To direct your compiler to look at some other include directories, you use the -I option, as stated above. To see where your compiler is searching for includes, you can do `gcc -xc++ -E -v -' (note: if it is plain C you are interested in, it would be `gcc -xc -E -v -').

Was able to partition and format manually in a second console after "Load installer components" but importantly before "Detect disks", then when one gets to "Partitioning" you have the option to NOT format the partitions, but one can still set mount points, etc.. which is what I wanted.
