Hi Richard, Have you tried using dd to make images of the DVDs on the extended part of the USB stick? E.g.: # put DVD1 in the drive dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=/media/mydrive/DVD1.iso bs=1M eject cdrom # put DVD2 in the drive dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=/media/mydrive/DVD2.iso bs=1M # and so on... them loop-mounting the images? I'm not sure what you would have to do inside the installer to get the loop-mounted images into the installers "sources.list" file, but I'm sure a bit of wiki and/or FAQ scratching would answer that question. Once you figure out the necessary magic, you can probably pre-seed it into your installer image on the front part of the USB stick. I know this is just a sketch of a solution, but it's all I've got time for right now. Anyway, it's the approach I'd take if I had the problem. Hope it helps! Good luck and let us know if you come up with something that works! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

We're using Debian 7 64-bit. Sorry to hear that :-( I have no experience with voice-to-text software - I assume you're already enabled the accessibility features - e.g. Orca and the like? Other interesting text input methodologies like Dasher may be useful too..

From the output above it seems that on your system the dependency is satisfied by the Provides: libdigest-sha-perl of package perl, so there is no reason to have the real package libdigest-sha-perl installed. dpkg can't tell anything about the libdigest-sha-perl package because it's not installed on your system.

Further experimentation has revealed a rather interesting result. It seems that Windows was claiming that it was driving the S-video at 1024x768, but was actually stretching it down to 800x600. Short of reinstalling Windows (which I will not do!), I have no way to prove this, but anecdotal evidence is that text is a bit more readable now. So it's looking like 800x600 is all we really get anyway. Everything's working other than that, so I'm basically going to consider the matter closed, unless anyone has fancy ideas to try.

Hi Richard, Have you tried using dd to make images of the DVDs on the extended part of the USB stick? E.g.: # put DVD1 in the drive dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=/media/mydrive/DVD1.iso bs=1M eject cdrom # put DVD2 in the drive dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=/media/mydrive/DVD2.iso bs=1M # and so on... them loop-mounting the images? I'm not sure what you would have to do inside the installer to get the loop-mounted images into the installers "sources.list" file, but I'm sure a bit of wiki and/or FAQ scratching would answer that question. Once you figure out the necessary magic, you can probably pre-seed it into your installer image on the front part of the USB stick. I know this is just a sketch of a solution, but it's all I've got time for right now. Anyway, it's the approach I'd take if I had the problem. Hope it helps! Good luck and let us know if you come up with something that works! Rick I hadn't thought of loop mounting.

I did wonder what was going on, because as far as I knew S-Video is defined only for PAL and NTSC, 576i/50 and 480i/60 in modern terminology. The point of it is that analogue luminance and chrominance are carried on separate channels, thus avoiding some of the nastiness inherent in encoding colour into a luminance signal. It really is a TV signal, and an analogue standard definition one at that. It would seem that the Linux driver doesn't control the video card downconversion process properly, but as you say, a downconversion from 1024x768 isn't going to give you better results than from 800x600. Mr Google says that JVC first used S-Video in 1987, but it would have been around 1981 that I modified a Hitachi SK-81 camera to provide separate Y and C outputs to feed a portable U-Matic, modified by Roderick Snell who was then working at Brighton Polytechnic. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My brother has a desktop video card (an Nvidia one, but I didn't ask what exact card it is) with S-Video output, and he plugged it into the same TV via the same cable as the laptop had been using. According to xrandr, resolutions went up to (I think) 1024x768, but he saw some oddities, which could have been caused by a stretching down. I never thought to check the definition of S-Video, as I thought (naively) that Windows was being honest when it told me it was running it at 1024x768. Thanks for the response. The silence was a little worrying - I was afraid nobody here had ever used S-Video with old hardware, and that I'd be completely on my own.

My discovery of Debian came in the days of 'Y2K'. I think my first install of Debian was Potato. Coming from distributions of RedHat purchased in a red box at a retail store, it was a revelation. What impressed me about Debian then was that the people giving answers on debian-user seemed to be real, knowledgeable 'SysAdmins', but without the anger, people who were clearly able to help, and clearly hoping that the questioner would succeeded, not just go away quickly. I had already been exposed to big, 'main frame' computers in my work in Physics research, and had recently retired. I had some thought of learning the internals of how computers worked as a retirement hobby. Compared to Red Hat, back then, there was much less frustration in getting useful help, and, for me more importantly, the help came with some education. I remember reading the File Hierarchy Standard (FHS). It must have been suggested to me in the answer to one of my questions. Otherwise, I would never have found it. I began to develop an idea of the organization that was developing inside the Debian organization. To me it seemed that the people had a shared view of how Debian might take over the world, and they realized that they needed more people to join their ranks. Yes, defaults are important, but, in this context, namely a reply to a request for opinion about the value of defaults, I think 'default' is really 'context'. That is to say the default for a decision or an action is determined by the context. Now the context is very different from what it was in the time of Potato. But for Debian, there is still the organizational imperative of recruiting and training the next generation. There is so much more work to be done. The organization has to be so much larger. The people 'at the top' have to be in touch with what is needed in so many new issues that never troubled Debian way back when... When I read OP's post, I took it to be a comment on the contending 'desk tops', and that people were worrying that somebody else's desk top would win top billing (i.e. default) position. If desk-tops are in an alphabetically ordered list, my preference will surely lose, but so be it. The tradition of Debian is that so long as a qualified maintainer can be found for a package, that package will not be dropped, just because it not appropriate for some view of the modern computer market context. But maybe I shouldn't be so complacient. Maybe I should be afraid, very afraid.

In the past, removing a metapackage caused its dependencies to be autoremoved as well, and people complained about that apt wanted to remove half their system as soon as they decided to uninstall a dependency of the gnome metapackage. Therefore, apt's behavior wrt metapackages was changed to _not_ mark their dependencies as automatically installed. > Ultimately, I just purged each of the modules by name, then > autoremove the orphaned dependencies. > > There should be an easier way. You could use aptitude to mark the dependencies as auto-installed (untested): # aptitude markauto "~Dlibreoffice" Then you can autoremove them as you wish.

Q: Squeeze - debmirror 1:2.4.5 / Bug #673444 : not fetch Translation files
Hi,
due limited traffic from my ISP (200GB/month) I've decided to make own
mirror for Debian "wheeze".
A quick search brought my attention to "debmirror" utility. After a
couple days of download I had local mirror for "wheeze" and
"wheeze-updates".
Shortly after the mirror was ready I configured Apache to serve files,
DHCP server and "preceed.cfg" to make automatic installation over
network utilizing PXE boot.
After a little struggle to make everything right to be able install OS
and packages I found that installation process "stops to inform me that
i18n translation files are missing" in wheeze-updates. My inspection of
wheeze-updates/main directory confirmed that directory i18n is missing.
My further investigation brought my attentions to bug #673444
(Maintainer: Joey Hess ) in regard missing translation
files.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673444
So, it looks like Squeezy still has debmirror version which is affected
by this bug.
dpkg -l | grep debmirror
ii debmirror 1:2.4.5
For the moment I've added a block of code to my script to sync mirror
which resolves the issue
-- Begin my_mirror.sh
#!/bin/bash
.
.
#
# Translation files fix
#
# Description:
# Older version of debmirror does not copy a
# directory if file "Index" is missing. In this
# particular case client will not find directory
# "Translation-en" as "dists/wheeze-updates/main/i18n"
# directory misses "Index" file.
#
# Bugs: #673444
#
# Note:
# Newer version of debmirror relies on "Packages.gz"
# file instead of "Index" and do not have this problem.
#
URL=ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/main/i18n/
DIR=here

[ -d ${DIR} ] && rm -f ${DIR}

-- End my_mirror.sh --
What is the best way to address this issue? Contact the maintainer? Use
backports?
Sincerely,
Andrew

Not all that knowledgeable of aptitude. Wary of using an untested procedure of a utility I'm unfamiliar with. That's surely asking for trouble. However, I did come up with a possible method to more easily uninstall meta-package installed apps. First, find the one module of the app that is the dependancy for all the others, but is itself not dependent on them. Does that make sense? With libreoffice, it's libreoffice-common. Purge just that one module, i.e. apt-get purge libreoffice-common, and that should automatically get most all the others. Then autoremove to get any orphaned dependencies. Then do a search for any lingering modules, and purge them if found. With libreoffice, I did an apt-get purge libreoffice* which found one: libreoffice-filters-something-or-other. I then manually deleted the libreoffice directory in the user's .config directory. All gone. I'm hoping this technique will work with other such apps until something easier is invented.

best way to backup USB stick (2)
Hi, So I got a script that backs up the USB stick to a file and restores a (larger) USB stick from that file all using dd. It is here: http://paste.debian.net/93598 the relevant parts are the backup: dd conv=notrunc,noerror bs=4096 if=$usbDrive | gzip > $backupFilename and the restore: gzip -dc $backupFilename | dd of=$usbDrive Makes perfect copy AFAICT, but it does not boot and the original USB stick does. Completes w/o errors. Can any dd expert tell me what I am doing wrong? Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I made no further changes than those posted as regards my debian install, but did do another 'bzr pull' in my sources top level, about 2 hrs ago (Sunday night Apr 13 in USA) That change allowed my latest effort using the same ./configure line as posted, followed my 'make', 'make install'. to conclude successfully. I didn't investigate all the changes involved in that short time period but whatever it is... it was enough to make it all work again.

Specifically: usbDrive=/dev/sde1 You're not backing up and restoring usb drives, you're backing up and restoring a partition on usb drives. The partition table and bootloader aren't handled by your script. No bootloader=no booting. :) I'd suggest getting the whole device (/dev/sde) unless you're planning to restore to a drive with other partitions you want to preserve. > > Hugo > > Another suggestion: Look into ddrescue (package name is gddrescue).

debian install wireless fails on laptop with Ralink RT3290 wireless, what to do?
The installer correctly detects a Ralink RT3290 and seems to think its going to be able to work with it, but then it always fails (I think at the DHCP stage) to actually manage to connect to the network. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Workarounds? As usually everyone assumes it would work on Ubuntu and as usual I'd rather not go there. What I'm hoping to do is install a gnome system from CD image, then follow these instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/rt3290 Is this probably workable? Is it the best way? If there was some way to get wireless working at the point in the installation where the installer tries to set it up that seem like it would be best, but maybe it isn't required then if you have one of the big (non-netinst) CDs?

Apparently, firmware-ralink is non-free and is required, so looks like you can't get your card working from installation.

If anyone knows of other network hardware that uses openssl (any version) I'd like to know. However, how exactly would this bug be used to compromise a client (tablet or smartphone) whose app uses openssl libs? (I think you spoke in err and my initial intent was to dispel FUD. However if there's a way, I'm really curious)

OpenSSL is a library, not an 'app'. > Not even an email from the bank! Many/most financial institutions disdain open source software and would much rather pay for proprietary commercial solutions so there is someone to sue and recover damages when things go tits up. Most financial institutions tend to run operations on IBM or clone mainframes. Thus they'll likely be using IBM's mainframe implementations of SSL/TLS, or a commercial front end termination device, neither of which are likely affected by this CVE which is for a few specific version of OpenSSL only. > Then there is also the very serious issue of embedded devices using > openssl. Tablets, smartphones, routers, ... etc. etc. This problem only exists *if* these devices connect to a compromised or rogue host via SSL/TLS *and* the user hasn't reset and or deleted locally cached usernames and passwords. So, no, definitely not on the impact scale of Y2K. That affected *everyone* whereas this does not. Anyone using an MS Windows PC, which is the majority of the planet, whose financial institutions do not use OpenSSL, are entirely safe from this bug. The *nix community is going ape shit over this not because of bank accounts potentially getting drained, but because so many command/control systems of the Internet backbone are vulnerable to leaking encryption keys, potentially allowing any cracker access to them.
