enigmail and Debian
Hi! Has someone packaged enigmail for Debian? I can download the code from the web and install it. But when other packages run update-mozilla-chrome, the menu entries for enigmail are removed (or so it seems). What I have to do, so enigmail stays on the system without reeinstalling it everytime?

Those are only versions for the old mozilla 1.0. I had to recompile
the enigmail sources (and before that compiling the mozilla sources).
Then it worked for me. But it seems enigmail is not registered in the
"debian way", because an update-mozilla-chrome removes the menu
entries for enigmail.
So I would like to see an debian packet for enigmail.

I used the new libc6 package from unstable. It doesn't conflict with
php4 anymore. Or you can force overwrite the dependencies and install
php4 manually.

If you are using testing you really should read Debian's announce MLs.

mozilla, utf-8, and Japanese fonts
Hi! I'm using a self compiled mozilla (1.3-3) with mozilla-xft. I noticed that some pages with utf-8 and Japanese characters don't display correctly. Have a look at http://fsing.fs.uni-sb.de/~stse/manga.html I see missing kanji and kana. I can do a copy and paste, and if I start to mark some text, missing characters will be displayed. If I deinstall mozilla-xft everything works fine again. Can somebody reproduce this? Is this a bug in mozilla or libxft? The same problem occurs with 1.2.1. Shade and sweet water!

Yes, msttcorefonts uses now defoma to register the fonts. To use the
fonts in X you need the package x-ttcidfont-conf, too.
You get two new FontPath lines for XF86Config-4 (I hope, you use XFree
4) or your font server. x-ttcidfont-conf will ask you for which font
module the font files should be created, freetype or xtt. Choose the
same type your X server use (look at the module section in
XF86Config-4).
Alas, msttcorefonts doesn't clean itself properly from the fonts.*
files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType. If you don't have fonts
there anymore, remove the FontPath or edit the fonts.* files.

xmms doesn't work well with alsa
Hi! I have a Soundblaster Live and didn't have any problems with alsa until rc3. I'm using xmms with the xmms-alsa output plugin. Since rc3 xmms segfaults sometimes with the message: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:292:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar Unable to install hw params Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x23e5d)! Segmentation fault "Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar" means "not enough memory", the main memory, but I have 768 MB physical memory and about 600 MB swap. That shoud be enough. Switching to the oss output plugin xmms doesn't crash but it skips sometimes songs or skips part of them. xmms produces the messages: ** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED ioctl failed: Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar ** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT ioctl failed: Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar I can reproduce the errors with ogg123 using alsa09 or oss output sometimes, but much less than using xmms. alsaplayer doesn't have any problems (*knock on wood*). Switching back to 0.9.0rc1+2 solves the problem for days, but then it started again. Since then, there was a new alsa package, so I tried 0.9.0rc3-0.3 (updated all alsa and libasound packages). It doesn't solve the problem. I don't see any reasons why this error occurs. The systems neither had a high load nor was much memory used (values from xosview). Does somebody have the same problems?

For RAID the controler adds RAID data to the hard drives. Building a new RAID deletes all data, so you will only be able to use the controler as a normal IDE controler but not as a RAID controler if you wish to preserve your data. If you build a RAID array (backuping your data first, then restoring it), you should be aware that you will not be able to access your data with another controler (e.g. a normal IDE controler). You need the same RAID controler that created the array (meaning you're using RAID 1). I am thinking of purchasing a 3Ware card - and a second disk to do RAID 1. I am assuming since the first drive may be smaller than the second new drive - I would be mirroring the size of the first drive - and the rest of the space on the newer (larger) drive is lost? Yes. If the discs have different sizes, the smallest size will be used, the difference is lost. So you should use the same discs for mirroring (or any other RAID array). Lastly - assuming my existing hard drive is relatively small (say 6Gb) - and the new drive is (say) 40Gb - after I have the second disk synced - could I then replace the first drive with a (say) 40 Gb and then make use of the full drive as a mirror - either by extending the partition size or by adding another partition - or am I really nuts Urgs, that is an interesting question. Of course you can remove a disc from an array and add a new disc, but I don't know, if the size will change. Shade and sweet water!

nfs, ldap and group permissions
Hi! I have the following problem with nfs: Server A exports a directory via nfs to client B. User and group informations are stored in LDAP. The exported directory has mode 770. Tests: Server: If I'm the owner of the directory or belong to the group, I can create new files or change the content of the file. -> No problems Client: No problems, if I'm the owner of the directory. But if I'm not the owner, I could create new files because I belong to the group. This doesn't work. I've only got a "permission denied". If I create the group on the client with the users, I can create new files, too. So it seems that write requests don't propperly resolve the group permissions if the group is a LDAP group and the directory is exported by an NFS server. ls and "getent group" are showing correct group names, permissions and group users. The r-bit is correctly working, too. So where is the bug? The nfs kernel server? Within the kernel?

CD/DVD-writer on this machine.) Am I missing or misusing some options?
No, but there maybe two things:
1) Do you have the chipset driver installed (compiled into the kernel
or loaded as module)? Look at dmesg output, what your kernel says
about your hardware.
2) You don't have a chipset supported by linux. Yes, this may happen.
You could post the output of lspci and dmesg.

Right, it seams that I may have done just that...
No, you created a partition on /dev/hdb, one primary, called hdb1, so
hdb has the partition table. You should not create a partition on
hdb1, which would be a subpartition.
You've done all right.

Then by boot sector could be written to hdc1 then ? That's were my root partion

In theory, yes. ;-)
But you forgot your BIOS and its way of searching for a boot device.
Maybe it will work, if you mark hdc1 as bootable. But I don't know.
I always put my bootsectors in the master bootrecord of the first

Right OK, but I can manually change it to hdc, and then rerun lilo ?

The two implementations are very similar but have some minor differences (and there might be more that was not yet noticed ofcourse), e.g. - new 'su' (with no args, i.e. when preserving the environment) also preserves PATH and IFS, while old su would always reset PATH and IFS even in 'preserve environment' mode. - su '' (empty user string) used to give root, but now returns an error. - previously su only had one pam config, but now 'su -' is configured separately in /etc/pam.d/su-l The first difference is probably the most user visible one. Doing plain 'su' is a really bad idea for many reasons, so using 'su -' is strongly recommended to always get a newly set up environment similar to a normal login.

Because rants on debian-user do not transform to patches by themselves. Which patches? As Linus would say: „Don’t break user behaviour! Give them an option to switch to a new one.”. A recent kernel update (linux-4.9.110-3+deb9u1) begs to differ. Two notable behaviour changes without any way to disable them. Are these security changes? Then Linus permits it if there is no other way. By the way, what are these changes that are breaking user space? Shade and sweet water!

Replacement for lineakd?
Hi! The oldest of our list elders will maybe remember the package lineakd (it was removed from Debian in 2011). Together with a „multimedia” keyboard it could be used to map commands to keys.

Hi! I am running a Debian/Testing System with procmail package version 3.22-16. The following lines are in my .procmailrc: :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 524608 msgid.cache There was a time when I didn’t have any mails with the same message id in my box. Since several months I noticed that I found mails in my different mail boxes having the same message id. I deleted the msgid.cache file, but without success. Does anyone has the same problem? Can I verify which message ids are in the cache file? Shade and sweet water!

Streaming with Debian Testing
Hi! I have two Debian systems in the same network running Testing. One of them has an analog TV card (Philips Semiconductors SAA7134/SAA7135HL Video Broadcast Decoder). I can watch TV with kdetv without problems using V4L2, but normally I’m not using this system directly. So I tried to stream the video with vlc, but every example I found in the net seemed to use a codec not available with the Debian version of ffmpeg (patent problems). The multimedia repository contains a non-free version of ffmpeg, but not of vlc. So how can I stream one TV channel to my other system? An example command line is greatly appreciated. Someone from debian-multimedia suggested mythtv which I will try the next days, but from the description I come to understand that mythtv is a complete video recorder. It may be a little oversized.

If you are recording a show and then streaming it, the MythWeb Thanks for the tip. I tried mythtv and it is working for now. I had some problems configuring the system. For some reason I couldn’t enter anything into the textfields of mythtv-setup. The mouse cursor is only visible in the text fields, so drop-down menus are only working by clicking blindly. But in the end, I got it working by editing text files and the database. It seems there are no www sites for xmltv to download German TV infos. And the sound is a little behind the picture. But it is still better than nothing. ;-) Shade and sweet water!

Re: linux/config.h missing - can't build modules

I get this error: If this will be the only error, then you are quite happy. linux/config.h is now named linux/autoconf.h. So you can edit the module source and change the include lines or you can create a symlink from autoconf.h to config.h. Shade and sweet water!

It's not the only error, but the rest of the errors appears to be the result (missing references, undefined this or that). Don’t worry, the next errors may come after *this* problem is solved. ;-) Espcially if the module needs network variables. I'll try this tonight - left my notebook at home. I guess I can just make a symlink? Yes, this is probably the easiest solution. Shade and sweet water!

And Debian as the „TV sender” has decided to not allow commercials. If
you want to see them, change the sender.
At least I don’t watch TV for this reason.

In my opinion, all the analogies fall short because documentation is not software, regardless of Debian's dogmatic claims to the contrary. If you mean with documentation some files you have on your computer, then they are of course software. They may not be programs but they are software. Shade and sweet water!

Re: advantages and disadvantages of local/lang en_CA.UTF-8?

If I write a plain text, in english, on my UTF-8 stock debian system, is

US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, so any text written in US-ASCII is
readable in LANG=C. But the English language can have characters beside
the 7bit ASCII characters as well (e.g. é). So you can’t say that the
English language is 7bit-only.
I don't particularily care if the chinese section shows properly on my
system since I don't read chinese. Ditto french.
French or other European countries are using all US-ASCII characters as
well, but they have far more 8bit characters than English.
„man ascii” will show you all characters readable in C, „man iso-8859-1”
will show you 8bit characters, some of them are used in the English
language as well. Those would not be readable in C.
