mc is a text-mode piece of software and so lies outside the problem

But as long as we're going that route I use ncftp, which I find simple as
pie (and you even get tab completion with your pie).

No, that won't work. USB uses a master/slave model and both of your
laptops are "masters". If you want to use USB you would have to use an
intermediate storage device.

If you have a home router or a switch with at least two Ethernet ports,
then the easiest way is probably to install openssh-server on one of the
two laptops and use scp or rsync from the other laptop.

The only reason I didn't mention that possibility is that I didn't want
to have to explain how to manually configure IP addresses. :) If the OP
has a home router, chances are that IP networking "just works".

S/W netcat maybe piped to tar

Very small fonts in KDE after installing Nvidia drivers

[James Allsopp]

Hello,
I've just installed the nvidia drivers after following the instructions
here https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

but now my fonts are so small they are unreadable. My display is a HDMI
television.

I think this could be related to the EDID settings but I'm not sure how to
set this. I'm using the small piecewise Xorg described in the document.

echo -e 'Section "Device"\n\tIdentifier "My GPU"\n\tDriver
"nvidia"\nEndSection' > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

I can't run nvidia-settings as I can't read the text,

Any ideas what changes I need to make to fix this please?

Thanks,

James

TDE will not (and does not) bring anything to the party in terms of
setting up a print queue and displaying options in the KDE print
dialogue that is not provided by every desktop-based system in Wheezy.
The operation of the printing system is not determined by cosmetic
features.

No, it will display them in the TDE print dialogue, not the KDE print 
dialogue, and for the moment Gene seems to have that better configured.  
Perhaps he finds the defaults easier.

I don't know why Gene's finding one thing easier than another upsets you.

Or for the less mechnically-inclined, seeing that both laptops have
available usb ports, you might just copy the files from the old laptop onto
a USB flash drive, and then stick the flash drive into the new laptop.

Installing wicd would require working IP networking in the first place,
isn't it?

Besides, one doesn't need to configure anything as ipv6 provides those
funny fe80:/64 addresses out of the box. Sure, they won't work outside
of a local network segment, but that's not the issue here.

debian 8 Kmail IMAP funktioniert nach einiger Zeit nicht mehr, Rechner muss neu gestartet werden

[Thomas]

Hallo,
ich habe seit debian 8 Schwierigkeiten mit Kmail und IMAP Servern, ich benutze 
zum Beispiel den IMAP Server von Gmail.
Andauernd kann ich nicht mehr auf die Emails zugreifen. Sie werden nicht mehr 
angezeigt, ein abholen des Ordnerinhalts funktioniert ewig oder es steht da es 
befindet sich im Offline Modus und ob ich online gehen möchte. Das alles bringt 
nichts.
Ein Schließen von kmail funktioniert nicht sauber, das killen des Prozesses 
bringt nichts. Ich muss den ganzen Rechner neu starten
Das funktioniert dann wieder einige Zeit bis die gleichen Probleme wieder 
auftreten.
Gruss
Thomas

Testdisk might be able to help.

What exactly should I be looking for in testdisk? I checked structure, it is ok. Should I do 
"deeper search"? And what means "Index root attribute missing in directory inode 
5"?


The problem you reported was inability to mount a USB stick. Testdisk
helps you recover from disk/file system corruption.

I suggest you use ddrescue to create an image of the NTFS partition on
the USB stick and retry ntfsfix against the image. Assuming ntfsfix
works, you can then mount the image using the loop option.

e.g.  ddrescue /dev/sdx1 ./ntfs.img
  ntfsfix ./ntfs.img
 mkdir ntfs-image
 mount -o loop ./ntfs.img ./ntfs-image

If ntfsfix doesn't work, try using testdisk against the .img file.

Once you've got your files copied to a new stick, don't use the old one.

Thanks for your suggestion. However I am afraid I can't create .img file because my 
internal disk is 128 GB and my unmountable drive is 2 TB. ( it is 3'5" external 
usb disk, not a USB stick ).


In that case, get another USB drive or internal SATA drive of sufficient 
capacity to make the copy. Once you have a good copy that you have 
verified / fixed, you can reformat the faulty drive. Do a full reformat, 
not a quick one, as the full reformat verifies the disk surface and 
marks bad blocks.

Searching, I find

sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-use-edid-dpi

which generates a etc/X11/xorg.conf file disabling the DPI info from the
monitor's EDID.

Then you would edit the xorg.conf file's monitor section and put
something agreeable here:

Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

I guess the DPI ratio should correspond to your TV's resolution (or
something).  In other words, unless you got a square TV, 96 x 96 is
probably not the way you want to go.

HTH.

And that means 'close, but no cookie'.

Get your hands on util-linux source. Wheezy's one, to be specific - [1].

util-linux-2.20.1/mount/mount.c has this wonderful snippet at line 2621:

  if (restricted &&
(types || options || readwrite || nomtab || mount_all ||
 nocanonicalize || fake || mounttype ||
 (argc + specseen) != 1)) {
   
if (ruid == 0 && euid != 0)
/* user is root, but setuid to non-root */
die (EX_USAGE, _("mount: only root can do that "
"(effective UID is %u)"), euid);

die (EX_USAGE, _("mount: only root can do that"));
}

Translating this into plain English - there're arguments for mount
executable that are expected to work only if you're root. Those are
'restricted' ones. Filesystem type ('-t', types in source) is one of
these 'restricted' options.

So, your options to solving the problem are:

1) Patch out a check for the filesystem type.
It seems like a bad idea to me - such options are checked for a reason,
after all, but the patch itself is trivial.

2) Use good old automount(8) for your mounting needs.

3) Use whatever shiny new thing FreeDesktop thinks is best today. A
current one should be called udisks2, but don't trust me on this.

4) Use systemd. It definitely has some kind of automounting facility.

Unless they installed really braindead 15-years old NICs at both
laptops - no, one does not need crossover cable.
Although, given the existence of some horrible companies like D-Link,
Trendnet and Ahteros (to name a few) - I won't be surprised.

Any relatively modern piece of networking kit (and almost anything that
can do 1000bT) will auto-sense, so no crossover cable is needed.

The only default which has received any attention in this thread is
that for duplex printing. Anyone hoping to have them available with
the Brother PPD will be very disappointed to find they are greyed-out.

On the other hand, if they realise that CUPS has no way to get them from
the PPD (there is no Duplex keyword) they will have an understanding of
why.

And , as we are all aware, they have no bearing on setting up a print
queue anyway.

Once a network connection is established, I use scp as in

$ scp -pr top-of-tree username@host:

After the colon, relative paths are with respect to username's home.
-p preserves permissions, -r for recursion, but be aware that files
can be overwritten at the destination; there's no -i as in cp.

With the right ssh keys in place, you don't need to type passwords.

No configuring: great. You just have to know how to use them...

So, I pull the cat5 cable out of a wired host, and stick into a
wireless laptop's eth0 socket. Both were chatting happily to a router
with ipv4 before. What do I do next to copy a file to the other host?
Both ways please, because there's an assymetry: only the wired host
"knows" it's been isolated from its gateway; the laptop is still happy.
ie,

wired ~$ scp a-file :destination-file-on-laptop
laptop ~$ scp a-file :destination-file-on-wired

Cheers,
David.

I just went through this last week with Debian Wheezy using a large
television driven by an Nvidia card with the proprietary Nvidia
driver.  I added

Option "DPI" "100 x 100"

to my xorg.conf in the Device section for the Nvidia card.

In your case I think you should be able to replace your echo statement
with:

echo -e 'Section "Device"\n\tIdentifier "My GPU"\n\tDriver
"nvidia"\n\tOption "DPI" "100 x 100"\nEndSection' >

Watch out for line wrapping, this should all be on one line.

First, you invoke 'ip a l dev eth0' on both hosts.
In the case the interface lacks 'UP' flag, you invoke 'ip l s dev eth0
up'.
Once both interfaces are up, invoke 'ip a l dev eth0' again, and search
for the strings that look like (on both source and target hosts):

inet6 fe80::2867:acff:fef1:968d/64 scope link 
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

In this example, 'fe80::2867:acff:fef1:968d' is so called 'link-local'
ipv6 address of the host.

Next, you invoke from source host:

ssh @%eth0

And, if everything goes well, you should see customary 'The
authenticity of host … can't be established' message.

To copy the needed files, you invoke from the source host:

scp -r  \
@[%eth0]:

I.e, to copy /home/user/Documents from one host to another, use:

scp -r /home/user/Documents \
user@[fe80::2867:acff:fef1:968d%eth0]:/home/user

The definition of 'source' and 'target' hosts is left as an exercise
for the readers. 


Of course, there're more complex (but faster) ways to copy files,
but the basics are here.

Das hier ist die internationale (englischsprachige) Debian-User Liste.
Es wäre deshalb sinnvoll, die Frage entweder auf Englisch zu stellen
oder sich an die deutsche Debian-Userliste zu wenden.

Inhaltlich kann ich bei dem Problem leider nicht direkt weiterhelfen.
Ich würde zunächst die Netzwerkverbindung im Allgemeinen überprüfen und
dann nachsehen, ob das Problem mit anderen Clients und Servern auch
auftritt.

Trying to paraphrase this in English:

This is the international debian-user list. It would be recommended to
either ask the same question in English or send it to the German
debian-user list.

Contentwise, I can not directly give an answer to the problem. I'd check
the general network connectivity first and then check if the problem
also occurs with other clients or servers.

Atheros is a horrible company? I thought they were rather well
regarded. And I've used a number of Trendnet products, and they've
worked well for me - cheap, but did the job.

You asked for help at this list because you didn't know, for sure, how to
move data from the old computer to the new. It's clear to me that you have
gotten clear, step-by-step instructions, so ... something that you do may
be wrong for the very special case of a broken compute connected to a brand
new compute, which *MAY* allow the broken computer to clobber the system
files on the new computer. Do you have a way of re-installing on the new
computer if this happens? Are you sure? Or do you expect to take a damaged
computer back to the retailer who sold it to you and get a replacement.
Maybe check out that expectation with the retailer.

You asked for advice. I think you got some good advice that maybe you don't
want to hear. Maybe? The sad fact is that you cannot install Debian on a
computer that won't boot from an install CD because some drivers or whatever
have been damaged.

Clearly you're lucky by not encountering anything that's using atl1c
kernel module. That card was the reason alone I use backported kernel
on my laptop, and it has some hiccups even then.

And, back in the old days, stock Debian 2.6.18 suffered from the random
kernel panics then using atl1 kernel module. They fixed as far as I can
tell, but I have a good memory.

Trendnet's unmanaged 1Gb switches actually manage to process whopping
200 Mbps maximum. Heck, maybe they buy counterfeit ones where I work,
but somehow I doubt it.

OK, First of all the old computer is my Toshiba laptop that works just 
fine.  The only thing wrong is the burner.  This machine is 4 years old 
and I wanted a newer model.  When all my files are transferred off of it 
it will be GIVEN to someone who needs a working computer.


Second, the new machine is also a Toshiba laptop just a newer model.  I 
have had to download a different set of ISO's since the new machine is a 
64 bit and the old one is 32 bit.  That is what I was doing tonite.  
Tomorrow I will use USB sticks to copy my files to and install them on 
the new machine.


I don't know why you got snarky with me.  I was unsure if I could use a 
usb cord from one to the other.  After the explanation about master and 
slave my 64 year old brain kicked in and I understood why it could not 
be done.  I have found a way and I appreciate everyone's help.  I have 
stored this information in a file for future use since as the family 
matriarch and computer person I try my best to learn new stuff about how 
things work.  Again thank you all.
