I think you may be referring to https://lists.debian.org/87wq44tlzd@thumper.dhh.gt.org where Rodolfo Medina writes: > My problem now is that after netinstall, even installing ppp in > expert mode, that command turns to be `not found' He was advised to try installing in expert mode and, when loading the installer components, to choose the ppp-modules and ppp-udeb packages. His expectation was to be able to use pon and poff, as he has been doing on an already installed system. His expectations were unfounded. pon and poff are in the ppp package. That package will be installed if PPPoE is being used as the network connection because pppoeconf depends on it. He doesn't want PPPoE as a network connection so pon and poff are not available to him.

Nothing, and nothing.

Straightforward, and requires doing something else with the sound. 2) Running a VNC server inside the container. Unsuitable for games IMO, but straightforward. 3) Running a separate X server inside the container.

nullmailer, cron email & email provider requiring appropriate "From" field
Hello,
I have setup nullmailer on a debian stable system of mine to forward email
to the smtp server of my mykolab.com account. That account requires that
"From" in the header matches the account email.
Cron on my system insists to send email (as e.g. produced by a logcheck cron
job) using "From" as derived from the user the executed script runs under
("logcheck", in this case) and the provider accordingly refuses the email.
Googling leeds to the conclusion, that while cron on debian (stable) is
accepting "MAILTO" in crontab, it doesn't accept "MAILFROM", which other
distributions (Centos?) seem to have ...
Can anyone propose an elegant way to solve this issue?
Thank you for your consideration,
Sincerely, Joh

You have been given another method using dpkg but let us stick with David Wright's suggestion and get this cleared up. 1. Boot into your Wheezy install and login as root. 2. Insert the USB stick. There should be a message on the screen giving you a device name. I get sdg. 3. The netinst is on the first partition, sdg1. Use dmesg to check. I have 'sdg: sdg1'. 4. I'll mount my partition: mount /dev/sdg1 /mnt I'm told it is mounted read-only. 5. Now I'll add the USB stick to /etc/apt/sources.list. apt-cdrom -m --no-auto-detect -d /mnt add I'm told the disc is scanned for index files and a new source list is written. I can check by looking at /etc/apt/sources.list. Edit the file to comment out all lines apart from this one. 6. apt-get update 7. apt-get install ppp 8.

Oooops, I should have checked that page more carefully, doesn't mention
setting the from.
Might be easier just to install postfix :)

Not sure which package to report problem under
I think that the problem I have is in the Kernel - but it affects CUPS 1.7.5 - running on Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64-bit with all updates installed. If my memory serves me correctly I did some testing around 3 months ago on the same system and had no problem with the same printer - but this may be a red herring although I think the kernel was updated in the meantime. Basically Point Of Sale printer delays before printing. Sometime 29 seconds, has been several minutes. The CUPS drivers have been reloaded several times and the PPD file re-installed. (Epson TM-U220 on USB) Network printers appear to work OK Today kern.log shows:- Jan 31 10:21:21 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 910.794419] usblp0: removed Jan 31 10:21:38 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 927.318209] usblp 1-1:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0202 Jan 31 10:56:20 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 3010.446535] usblp0: removed Jan 31 10:56:41 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 3031.665222] usblp 1-1:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0202 Jan 31 11:06:46 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 3636.521992] usblp0: removed Jan 31 11:07:09 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 3659.035275] usblp 1-1:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0202 Jan 31 12:24:28 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 8299.879895] usblp0: removed Jan 31 12:25:05 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 8336.693772] usblp 1-1:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0202 Jan 31 12:49:10 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 9781.723667] usblp0: removed Jan 31 12:49:49 MOSQ-POS kernel: [ 9820.691729] usblp 1-1:1.0: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0202 The usblp0 is removed when the print is initiated and printout only starts again when the printer is found again (I guess that's what it means) It appears that many people have reported this issue - or very very similar - with several distributions.

Switched to postfix and with the help of canonical_maps got it to work:
postfix is now rewriting from in all outgoing headers ...

sendmail on debian testing
Today I upgraded a test machine from wheezy to testing. It seemed to install systemd, I'm not sure if it's using it or not. One thing I noticed though was that sendmail no longer starts at boot. Even if I run: /etc/init.d/sendmail start or if I cd to /etc/mail and run: make restart or if I do this: nothing except running 'sendmail -bd' will start sendmail. In syslog I see this: Jan 31 18:53:43 blah systemd[1]: Started LSB: powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent. in mail.log I don't see anything when I try to start sendmail via /etc/init.d/sendmail. I do not have the lsb-invalid-mta package installed. I have tried reinstalling the sendmail package. I have tried the testing and unstable versions of sendmail. Any ideas where I should look next to figure out what's going on? Michael Grant
Nvidia Geforce 2 legacy driver vs OpenGL/Nouveau drivers?
Okay, so I just installed the propietary Nvidia drivers for my computer. I have an older Pentium 4 tower (oooh yeah) with a Geforce MX200 in it. Since it's an older card I have to use the Nvidia 96.43.23 legacy drivers. I followed the instructions here for the install: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#wheezy-173xx After installing the driver it seems like my system has taken a bit of a CPU performance hit. Things just seem a bit laggier, but I'm not entirely sure. Is it possible that the Nvidia legacy driver is slowing down things? I was going to install the Open GL driver for this computer but figured the Nvidia driver would net better results. Is there a good way to test the performance of the driver versus the open driver? Should I purge the Nvidia driver and just go back to the nouveau driver? (btw, is nouveau the same driver as the Open GL driver set?) I was just trying to improve performance/compatibility with games but it seems that things are slower than they were (Mozilla for example fluctuates from low to high CPU usage much more than it seemed before).

That's a disclaimer intended to mean everyone's own experience can and will vary.. Jessie's in fact *so stable* for me, I'm actually bored. I debootstrapped Sid couple hours ago and am just running through my inbox before attempting to set Sid up tonight. After years of doing these kinds of things every possible way wrong, my most likely path now in a situation like this would be to go the route of installing the whole new newer release (upgrade) if that is the only place the desired package is found. With installing a whole new unified release, everything is intended to work together rather than, for example, us users trying to shove one of Jessie's new square pegs into a potentially non-existent old round hole in Wheezy. And I would be doing the above *KNOWING* Jessie is still labeled as *testing* which means not guaranteed stable even though many of us are finding it works well right now.

Sound in Jessie
Today, for the first time in many weeks, my computer, running Jessie, started to have sound. It must have something to do with last night install of updates of .deb packages. But there are problems. I have no software control over the volume. Only way to turn done the volume is to turn anti-clockwist the physical knob on the loud speaker box. And, the audio mixer, which has been installed during the many weeks, has developed a new curious symptom: Instead of doing nothing, it now displays a message that GStreamer was unable to find any sound devices. Of course there are working sound devices, its just that Jessie sound software is not yet working. I'd welcome tips on how to make it fully functional faster than just waiting for the full release of Jessie Note: some of you may remember my asking for help getting my sound to work. I got some help. I got help. I spent hours trying different things and suddenly it started working, but a few hours later, it stopped working again. I don't understand software sound. I think loading and removing various packages with various conflicting bugs somehow made it work for awhile, and decided to let it lie fallow. I noticed that there are two packages on the Xfce4 desktop that I don't believe were there the last time I paid attention to computer sound: Ex Falso and Quod Libet. I have never felt the need for computer mediated music, so that fact that there is broken sound now, rather than no sound might be related to these packages. Anyway, it would be nice to have fully functional sound. My compute is a HP Pentium desktop several years old, nothing special, but it is the best computer I have ever had, so I expect to be keeping it thru the life of Jessie, and beyond. For now, I can, with adequate guidance, do testing of the new sound for today. Is there anything of interest to the developers who are working the sound system issues? The GStreamer message goes on to suggest: Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem. What is the package set that should be installed in Jessie? Maybe now is a good time to find out. Where should I look?

We (me and my wife) both use the N9 for couple of years now and it is really a great phone. It depends what you want to do with it ofcourse, but for us it is more than sufficient. Firefox, Skype and E-Mail, Video, Music, Pictures and a lot of useful apps. I think next year I go for Jolla and check how far they have come. I follow up their progress and the phone looks very very nice, however there is still life in my N9, which I got very used to. I think there are still N9s on the market that cost about €150 and Jolla costs €400. As it was mentioned they are not true open source for different reasons, but still compared to Android and given that they run debian (or kind of debian derivate) I like them much more then Android phones. There are however SDKs for developers and building apps or compiling for the phone is painful but still possible. On Jolla you can run also Android apps as well (I heard) I can only recommend the N9 - there was never a better smart phone on the market (in my opinion) regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In the specs it says INTERFACES Interfaces RS-232, Drawer kick-out, Bidirectional parallel so I would tipp on the driver and the chipset used in the printer + kernel/driver and the cups printer.

The deb files for both manually installed and automatically installed dependencies will both be in /var/cache/apt/archives until the admin issues 'apt-get clean'. But that wasn't the question. :-) At least not the way I read it.

You are trying to replicate an existing system and want to know what to install. That question gets asked periodically and there is always discussion but across many years I have yet to see a completely satisfactory way to do this easily. For me it is one of those tasks that doesn't have a good answer. There are many ways to get close but no perfect answers. At one time that was what dpkg --get-selections was used for. No matter what is done today it will need some tinkering. Instead when I need to do this I simply work the problem from a pristine machine and make it do what I want it to do by installing whatever. But when setting it up I carefully document the packages I install. I actually script it. I can then set up replicated systems using the script and it will be exactly repeatable. The history of the script in version control shows my changes to it over time. YMMV. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
