Personally, I wouldn't accept an inkjet as a gift. You use them like crazy, and you go through absurdly overpriced cartridges like crazy. You *don't* use them like crazy, and those absurdly overpriced cartridges clog, and you still go through them like crazy. And the pages come out soggy, and a

Debian 11: evince and apparmor flood kernel log

In Debian 11, evince has an appamor profile which floods the kernel log with hundreds of messages of the style: [24216.325764] audit: type=1400 audit(1631892398.580:255): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/mnt/home/rprice/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home" pid

Re: Hundres of dovecot imap errors with fts_solr plugin polluting /var/log/mail.err

I think this is some kind of parsing bug from the response from solr. The number of pairs of errors returned is the same number of hits received during the search. So if I do a search with 7 results turned up, I get 7 pairs of errors. Fixed with the following: 1) simplified config file by re

Re: Hundres of dovecot imap errors with fts_solr plugin polluting /var/log/mail.err

The bug I patched also threw a similar kind of error. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970692. But this error is cropping up for every user on the system. A google search turns up nothing on a uid other than '0'. I don't know if this is another debian issue or a misconfig

Hundres of dovecot imap errors with fts_solr plugin polluting /var/log/mail.err

I'm running debian bullseye. I've had issues running solr on debian in the past due to some kind of bug. I was able to get solr working with dovecot by upgrading the os. After the upgrade, everything works perfectly fine and the search feature in my client using solr now works. However, I get
