dpkg -l
Hi. Does someone knows if it is possible to show disk space taken by some packages in a similar way to dpkg -l output? This would make life easier to users who do not have unlimited disk space ;) Cheers. RP
PAM authentication of users on specific date/time
Hi. Does any one knows of some pam to authenticate users and also to restrict login hours to some predefined date or time of the day? Otherwise, is there any other way to do this? Cheers, RP

Pcmcia CBEM56G
Hi. There is something very strange (at least for me) in my woody 2.4.0-test11 box. I have a Xircom CBEM56G PCMCIA card and I tried to install it using the kernel PCMCIA drivers. With cardmgr running, when I insert the card it shows in syslog: executing: 'modprobe xircom_tulip_cb' (I already commented out all tulip_cb in /etc/pcmcia/config. Also, changed tulip_cb to xircom_tulip_cb int the appropriate entry) after this, the module loads correctly (irq 11, eth0). then, shows up: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler' + modprobe: Can't locate module cb_enabler (Of course. It is compiled in the kernel) ... executing: 'modprobe serial_cb' loads correctly executing: './network start tulip_cb' (What is this? Shouldn't be ./network start eth0?) ttyS02 at port 0x1480 (irq = 11) is a 16550A (I did excluded irq11 in config.opts... at least, I think so...) modprobe: Can't locate module tulip_cb tulip_cb: unknown interface: No such device (should it be eth0?) + tulip_cb: error fetching interface information: Device not found. Does someone knows what is going on? Thanks in advance, Cheers, RP

It uses the tulip_cb module in the 2.2.0 kernel... or xircom_tulip_cb in the 2.4.0 kernel. I am using it with 2.4.0-test11 and it works fine (on a Toshiba Satelite Pro 460XCDT). There is, although, a small detail... ;) I am using the kernel driver (not the pcmcia-cs one) and: the modem gets configured correctly. the ethernet card does not. In syslog there is a complaint when cardmgr executes /etc/pcmcia/network: ./network start tulip_cb: No such device (of course... it should be eth0). If I manually change the file /var/lib/pcmcia/stab and replace tulip_cb with eth0 and manually execute ./network start, it works... How does your network parameters get configured? Are u using hotplug support? Cheers, RP

What actions? Based on the message ( https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2019/01/msg00186.html ) it looks like they came up with the verdict first and then started to look for "evidence/actions" to justify the verdict. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but whatever. Regards, It *could* look like it, but that's not it. What happened is that DAM took a decision, which was challenged by some Developers, among with some were willing to start a General Resolution to overturn DAM's decision. In that heated discussion, Ian decided to collect any bad interaction between Norbert and any other person to disclose these before the GR starts and is voted on. As I already said, but you apparently decided to not read, Ian was not part of the decision making at any part, and, apart from the others who replied, two DAM members told him it wasn't fine. You really should look the whole thread, instead of cherry-picking what serves your idea. Another case of people needing to be spoon fed.

Indeed. In the US, one can demand to read the archived emails of public officials (not just mailing lists) Why does Debian need "private" mailing lists? What is it hiding from the public? Maybe taking it a bit too far but go ahead and file a lawsuit. In the pursuit truth and justice.

The most egregious thing seems to be the continuation of an off-topic thread. There many contributors to that particular problem in this case in addition to delpotes. Could you perhaps describe precisely what offense was caused or what boundary was skirted in this instance? In the future, messages such as yours would appear less menacing and more constructive with this additional bit of information added.

Issue: Slack no longer shows tray icon
Putting it here in case someone needs it. Issue: Slack no longer shows tray icon Background: I user Slack and follow the usual workaround in order to install the deb package: - download libindicator3-7 - download libappindicator3-1 - install slack-desktop Problem: Started maybe a month or so ago - the tray icon doesn't show anymore. The app installs but no tray icon Solution: use libayatana-appindicator3-1 instead of libappindicator3-1 by unpacking the slack deb file. There's a script on github that does this exactly.
