pci 0000:00:01:0: MSI quirk detected; subordinated MSI disabled ...
is the error message I get when I try to start a PC based on an MSI motherboard, with both Debian live an Knoppix (which is a bit more flexible about start up options) How can I get passed that error in order to be able to use and install Debian live or Knoppix? I have tried a number of options such as acpi=off combined with some other ones as well as read the MSI-HOWTO.txt https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v2.6.28/source/Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt on which they talk about "MSI quirks" on chapter 6th, but I can't see the relationship with booting Debian Live, so I I haven't been able to fix that problem. lbrtchx

I also found this message at an ubuntu forum: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2202279 Re: New PC, cannot install Ubuntu (pci :00:01.0: MSI quirk detected) Oldfred, I want to thank you for your tireless effort to help me with resolving this issue. I am very grateful that people like you are available to the community to support noobs like myself I am posting this from my new Xubuntu install, so it seems we finally managed to get things working!!! Here is a recap from the steps I took that (I think) lead to the resolution: - (Obviously) go through the posts provided by Oldfred, tried out several options - I found some info pointing towards USB legacy support and MSI quirk - Disabled legacy support in my BIOS - Got that Checking NVRAM error - Reset my CMOS (through the jumper setting described in my motherboard manual) - Disabled legacy support again, checked some other BIOS settings to make sure they are what they were before resetting the CMOS - Set my CD/DVD up as primary boot device (in BIOS) - Used a (X)Ubuntu installation CD instead of a USB (as legacy support is now disabled) - Up till this point I still had that Checking NVRAM error at POST. - Almost went out to buy a new motherboard, gave it one more try by unplugging my USB keyboard and mouse, booting with Xubuntu installation CD (12.04.3 LTS) - BINGO! Installation starts!!! - During installation, plug back in my USB keyboard and mouse - Let it complete - Restart is needed in order to complete installation - Had some more issues after that with keyboard not working in GRUB menu - Somehow magically ended up in my BIOS again (by using the DEL key during boot) - Enabled USB legacy support - Reboot - Finally able to have Xubuntu boot again, login, install latest updates, working instllation! I am hoping that I described all this in enough detail so that it can help others with similar issues. In the end it seems that when you get that MSI quirk error, disabling USB legacy support in your BIOS goes a long way. That Checking NVRAM error is (or looks to be) because you still have USB devices plugged in when USB legacy support is disabled. So resetting the CMOS may not have been necessary after all. I did not have a PS/2 keyboard/mouse available, but probably disabling legacy USB support in the BIOS and using PS/2 keyboard+mouse would have worked directly. ~ but I very much doubt that MSI could be in business requiring so much work for regular folks out there. I will keep a log here about how I solved that problem in order to help people running into the same hurdle lbrtchx

I have tried every possible option combination with knoppix and I have studied reports on similar problems by other people, but I haven't still been able to make that mobo boot up. The problem is that the idiots that designed that motherboard make it hard for you to get to their BIOS (I haven't even figured out that) and I haven't been able to find their manual/specs for that board online (most probably for other reasons) > Or you could do what I did after fighting with an msi board for > several years a decade back ...

Well, yes. I can only access the internet using live CDs/DVDs (preferably while using knoppix with the toram option). I have higher powers actively messing with me. Some people tell me that they "mess with", monitor everyone that I am just aware and I hate them and their bs because it messes with my line of work. I never effing ever connect my work machine to the Internet. I mean, noticing my doctor telling me whatever with a computer connected to the Internet makes me anxious and if you think I am "paranoid" all I have to say is: "thank you". These times being "paranoid" about such matters is a healthy state of mind. So, live DVDs with some extra scripts to customize things a bit and I am fine to go. I like Debian very much, just using apt in the way that it is supposed to be used assuming that the Internet is a safe, "trusted" environment is an odd joke to me. we have had these constant back and forths in the mailing list. I have even been dreaming about coding a version of apt based on java (japt?), so that you could go anywhere with any laptop and get all libraries and etc's, it shouldn't be hard at all but right now I cannot dedicate time and mind to any other thing. >MSI the motherboard manufacturer has nothing to do with the >PCI feature we are discussing here. >https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/PCI/msi-howto.html thank you. it was a confusing coincidence. The thing is that the motherboard on that box is an: MSI MS-7641 Ver.3.0 + AMD Athlon II x2 250 the two links were very good but also "too intertaining" I just need to get the thing to work for me asap. lbrtchx
Re: pci 0000:00:01:0: MSI quirk detected; subordinated MSI disabled ...
Debian doesn't stop to amaze me. I have an "old" 2 GiB RAM MacAirbook1,1 without its hard drive and without internal CMOS timing and with only one USB port (I wonder what those folks were thinking about when they designed those laptops). A Debian live DVD boots fine from a USB hub, then I go "hwclock --set ..." and do a hot reset (the set time will be kept) and use a USB pen drive. Knoppix just shows to me a question sign on a light and dark gray background. I will get "married" to Debian (why not? some people would marry their pets ... ;-)) if it includes the following startup options right of the live DVD: * toram * memtest * testCD In my opinion none of those functions are hard to include at all. You can -almost- always go monkey and do that one way or another, but I would like for Debian to make more official an offline mode for using apt probably based on java, so that any machine could be used to download packages to be then installed off-line for those of us who don't/can't see the Internet as a trusted environment. I would also love to see networking taken out of the Linux kernel, but this is an entirely different, hellishly "political" issue. lbrtchx

> Or toggle "javascript.enabled" to false in "about:config" - no > extensions required. the assumption being that you would use, trust firefox. A well-documented, XML-based open source kind of proxy/gateway through which all requests are sent and received would work with any browser. ~ I think, given the options, the suggested idea not to install networking at all (one of the install options with Linux) wins the prize; then: b) an exposed "inet" user for the session should be defined with a RAM drive as its home directory; c) for whom -exclusively- the network card's device driver should be installed (is here a hack to install a device driver entirely from user space? probably, a Debian HURD kind of thing on which the basic hook for the networking service is exposed and a user space program would take it from there?); d) then all access to the Internet go through a client proxy run by "inet"; e) acting as a squid-like application proxy; e.1) parsing all text/html content coming in, first cleansing it into well-fomed xhtml with some HTML parser, then using XPath, java Nasshorn, the principles of the Burp Suite + wireshark + page Reader + ...; e.1.1) sanitzing the page into alpha-offset format; e.1.2) not the received, but a sanitzed, topical, content centric page with all the distracting "attentional" nonsense removed will be displayed to the user (page reader on steroids); e.1.3) it maintain a local cache of the accessed data (videos, pdf files, ...) and adjusts all links on the flight to the local paths (storage space is very cheap, anyway); e.1.4) using XPaths of the sanitized page, you would be able to exactly authorize the java script that you want to let through and blanket "yeah, sure!" the rest of it, including those bsing "we care about your privacy" (isn't that the very definition of not having privacy that other people "care" about it?), "user agreements" authorization of cookies, right on the proxy ebfore it reaches your field of view/consciousness with the option of sending bogus information actively, passively or by request, per site, section of the page ...; e.1.5) cookies, user agent, ... will be managed by the proxy, so little as possible will be exposed; f) based on the request headers the proxy would create a new folder/jail each time a new domain is accessed (probably even the option to run macchanger?); g) based on the critical XPaths a "processing signature" will be kept for pages, domains, URL paths frequented; h) inet had no access to the PATH or any other local variables or files, it would only know of its own jail; i) many/most/all? applications assume/demand Internet access. All such access attempts should be logged with traceable information so that you can inspect what it is "that application was attempting to do which it shouldn't be doing" (tm); j) while shutting down "inet" will permanently save the cookies and such which matter, the rest will be physically "hasta la vista, babied" since it was kept in RAM anyway; k) that proxy could be used as password jar and could as well work as agent regularly checking if you've got new or certain kinds of email ... These is nothing really "new" in that spec. All the pieces either exist or their functional requirements can be achieved with configuration changes. It is assembling of all pieces which matters and may be problematic. Do you know of such previous "paranoid" art? Any Linux/debian friendly network firmware you would recommend to make that project easier? Any ideas come to mind? Any hints or death threats you would share? lbrtchx

> What is "alpha-offset format"? we, corpora research kinds of folks, need to process thousand of files as other people process bytes. UTF8 was basically an Americanizierung of alle alphabets. UTF is great to describe an alphabet but not for text files. UTF8 turned all files into streams not good for questions such as what is the charatcer/string sequence starting on the nth addressable unit of a file ... Doing that with utF8 is from way too complicated to impossible. Also alpha offset nicely splits the files segments into its different parts: ALPHABETICAL text, js, css, ... lbrtchx

Well, thank you: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=966418 that RC bug would be the place for me to start. I am not familiar with the debian dev process and there are other "cultural" aspects which are not totally clear to me. Jörg (developer, initial maintainer of the package) tells us bitz-server has bugs, which haven't been fixed, but I see the packaged listed as "stable" in buster: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bitz-server Also, I am not looking at the matter from the pit yet, but RFC 3057 shouldn't be that difficult to implement and, as I see it, an ICAP server is "simply" a light httpd, Apache module kind of piece of software and there is a currently maintained, full implementations of it in C: https://github.com/c-icap/c-icap-server That implementation could be included as a debian package. So I wounder what the actual problem could possibly be. If, for whatever reason, debian opts out of that project and continues to support the C++ effort, I need to first make that bug reproducible and, if possible, know the details of what previous minds thought of that prior art/effort, which Uditha has kept alive: https://github.com/uditha-atukorala/bitz-server I also noticed that someone else (Cameron Norman ) was trying to resurrect blitz-server before: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769076 but that effort was unsuccessful since it was even "removed from mentors". In case the package still contains bugs, would you, Uditha and/or Cameron, anyone who is knowledgeable about such matters share their own dev notes/logs? You know me from my jestful rants, but, by profession, I am a theoretical physicist who worked mostly as a data analyst (starting with FORTRAN, mostly C and C++, then later java to then fall out of love with coding/"technical matter" altogether and becoming a teacher), so I never had the chance to get too political about programming languages (while I worked for "corporate America" I had to even code in VB! ;-)). All I need to do is reproducibly get to the matter at hand asap (that bug) and squeeze some mind and time from my other projects. I am definitely not into protagonism and we all have plenty of things to do. Es it always good when more than one person commits their mind to it, otherwise it would be some sort of time-wasting suicidal masturbation. lbrtchx

Given the baseline option a user chooses as "language" during
installation, the codes sent by the keyboard should be interpreted.
There should be files with the associations of (unicode) numbers and
keys on a keyboard. I don't think that information is "secret" in any
way. Where can I find those files?

I see no indication whatsoever about the fact that I am using a
standard dvorak keyboard right now and that I am typing in English.
I mean something like:
http://xahlee.info/kbd/russian_keyboard_layout.html
Most probably I can't get why anyone would spend time doing such
things, but Xah Lee seems to be interested on the (IMO nonsensical)
"heat map" produced by typing the first chapter of Dostoevsky's "Crime
and Punishment".
I just need, given the language, the unicode keys on regular keyboards
out there.
I may be wrong, but I don't think that my English is so bad and/or my
question so unhinged.

From your examples you included I will only need yielded glyphs if they are commonly used in a language. Now, defining "commonly used" would be an entirely different, yet valid question. I will have to code my way through those files to parse unicode <-> key (or key sequence) "lookup tables" for each language and my effort will need definitely more than "parsing" for non-alphabetical languages. thank you, lbrtchx

I will try "to talk sense into them", but since the DL is the same as the install system there might be some sort of "implementation issues" blocking the possibility of an easy solution to that problem. I think at the very least DL should include a utility to reset the system time in whichever way user wants or actually ask the user if she is OK with having DL alter the system clock "because" "Windows developers are hopelessly idiotic morons who haven't figured out yet if the sun rises from the East or from the West" ... lbrtchx
which references (books, web pages, faqs, videos, ...) would you recommend to someone learning about the Linux boot process as thoroughly as possible?
imagine you had to code a new bootloader now (as an exercise) in hindsight which books would you have picked? I am OK with Math and technology of any kind and I am more of a Debian kind of guy. In fact, I am amazed at how Debian Live would pretty much boot any piece of sh!t you would feed to it, but, just to mention one case, knoppix would not. But then knoppix, has such super nice boot-up options as: toram (right as a parameter as you boot, no tinkering with any other thing!), fromhd and bootfrom (you can use to put an iso in a partition of a pen drive, or even stash it in your own work computer, in order to liberate your DVD player after booting), ..., which DL doesn’t have. I know some RS232/USB converters are not reliable. Which ones do you use? As far as I know laptops don’t come with RS232 anymore. I will need to log the boot process to study it. I have been always intrigued about such matters and such differences, between what I see as supposedly being standardized, like a boot process. lbrtchx

there is quite a bit of partial and somewhat obviously misconstrued

Why do you want >> to compile webkit2 yourself? Basically, I am trying to compile WebKit2 (on WSL! ;-)) with debugging symbols included in order to teach my students how to debug, because after having worked them into at least pretending they had fallen in love with the concept of Mathematical function, they have asked me "but, what is it good for?" I have chosen WSL as my way to move them away from Windows "gracefully" and also partially for “political” (school would not install Linux), as well as economical reasons (some of my kiddos don't even have an actual computer at home); so that makes the whole situation even better in a "give me the tired ..." way. Why WebKit? Because, I want for them (high schoolers) to have "a real taste of reality". Kids tend to see society as this big impenetrable thing, but, again, the concept of mathematical function will serve them as compass throughout their life. Kids nowadays also need to see colors and things moving on a screen, preferably their cell phone's from them to be able to "believe" it. With WebKit’s minibrowser they could (I can tutor them to) do something on their own. Working with kids have made me a better person and something I have understood is that you have to brake down whatever you are explaining to them into pieces they can understand, relate to. A natural part of being an adult is forgetting that. Most so-called "tutorials" out there mean absolutely nothing to most kids. lbrtchx

Last time it did was with apt-clone, but apparently that was another case of debian/software documentation kept in good faith! Are you saying that debian keeps "instrumented" binary versions of their packages ready for debugging!? I checked and it doesn't seem to be the case (and/or I am making some mistake) Not having to instrument WebKit2 would be time saving, but I would like for us as a class to be able to compile a relatively large and involved piece of software.

after reading through all your suggestions and still wondering about
what exactly was the mistake that I had made, I realized that it was a
simple and stupid "type in a rush and let 'the compiler' (sorry!) find
the mistake for you" kind of error: it seemed to have been somehow
blanketed by my "unconscious" that bash utils needed to be declared in
the PATH in order for you to access them. Noticing it and opening
another windows was all it took.

ACSM/DRM protected file ...
As I see it, some time ago a cat and mouse gaming around started between people who see as not only their "legal" and "moral", but also "patriotic" "responsibility" controlling people's access to information which is in the public domain anyway. Even archive.org is doing that (imagine what Jon Schwarz would have thought of that). https://archive.org/post/1095379/unable-to-download I have read about some ways around such road blocks but apparently they aren’t reliable enough: https://superuser.com/questions/1027608/how-to-read-an-acsm-file-on-linux https://askubuntu.com/questions/461409/how-can-i-remove-the-drm-from-an-epub-file Is there a Debian way to handle such problematic. By the way all those books, "the source", mind you, legally is in the public domain anyway. lbrtchx
How do you mount a solid state drive? ...
I googled: "mount solid state drive" Linux, and I got very few hits (like 16?) which were mostly totally irrelevant. I got a laptop with Windows installed on which I installed WSLg. WIndows and WSLg both seem to detect the SSD just fine, but in ways that are not totally clear to me. What I care about is using the SSD for my data intensive code in Linux, but when I boot that computer with Debian live I can't see the SSD. What could be going on? lbrtchx

Re: How do you mount a solid state drive? ...
Sorry, for my late reaction. I'd wish I could dedicate myself to coding and reading only. This is what blkid and hwinfo are telling me and I know that that SSD is not sda or sdb, nor is it the DVD; so, what is it and how do I mount that SSD Isn't it weird that I don't see it on blkid or hwinfo?

I have losts of (not necessarily all) text files (say in the 10 of thousands) in various directories which I need to process in a batch, but before I do that I want to make sure that I get a baseline of the source files. I use: a) crc b) md5sum c) sha###sum because those are three different checksum utilities based on different algorithms which work fast enough and offer a set signatures which are good enough. My thinking may (once again) be a bit unhinged, but I would use, e.g., crc because it internatlly used by rsync, which I also use in my code. So, how do you think I can improve my baselining of the source files? L

Something that I have noticed is that texts are too close to people's hearts to expect for people to just be technical about them. I use those three algorithms because some people "understand", md5 and not sha###sum. I mean, you may get some legacy data with their md5sum but the maintainers of the data may not be around. Once I found an rsync log that included the CRC signatures, that is why I include these kinds fo algorithms.

Thank you! This I am relating may be considered to be totally off topic in the Debian Linux mailing list by most people or maybe not. In my case I have constantly noticed how they use js to own my box, from blocking access to certain sites, to multiversing real time the sites I go to. Just to cite an example, you google your crush or go to her pages and what you get are pages with people with bruises on their faces, pictures of bed bugs, bed bugs' bites on people's skin, ... They also make single individuals and a bunch of "social responsibility committee" kinds of people scratch their body around in quite theatrical ways when you are on the streets: https://theintercept.com/2016/04/09/fbis-shared-responsibility-committees-to-identify-radicalized-muslims-raises-alarms/ You could figure out what would happen next and who could possibly horizontally and vertically orchestrate, coordinate, pay and legally protect the perpetrators doing such things. I don't know of a single "secure"/"private" OS, software stack or any such approaches being taken seriously. Do you? To me those concepts are a joke when it comes to computers. IT companies tell people: "we care about your privacy" and "We the people" don't even realize what a callous joke that is on so many levels. If they care about "one's own privacy" (as they say) that tacitly means you have no privacy whatsoever! Maybe I am too old, too romantic. It is my understanding of that thing they used to call "privacy", it was something only one could possibly take care of by oneself.

Re: Is there such a thing as a Debian blend for a MacBook Air 1,1 and/or Mac boxes in general? ...
OK, I followed the instructions on Dan Ritter's link and everything seems to be fine and dandy, but I used a windows computer with access to the Internet to download and gpg test the downloaded data and used Debian Live (running it from the DVD) to run "make" and "make install" on the target computer (a MacBook Air 1,1). All the data was compited onto "/lib/firmware/b43" as it should. However, I don't see the wireless card being activated (its LED blinking) nor do I see the network-manager showing me any connections and, of course, if I reboot that laptop I will lose those folders. That Mac with a failing timer is able to maintain the date you reset via hwclock (in their kind of BIOS) as long as you don't disconnect it from the power cable, but, of course, not those directories. Is there a way to activate the network card without rebooting? Or, I guess what I need is some kind of: "knoppix 2" http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix-dvd/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt but with Debian. In order to: 1) boot the first time and set the time via hwclock 2) reboot into text mode do the b43 tinkering and then using init to take it from there https://www.pks.mpg.de/~mueller/docs/suse10.2/html/opensuse-manual_en/manual/sec.boot.init.html Is there such a thing as an "init 2" cheat code in Debian? lbrtchx

shadowy, sort of fly by night debian mirrors? ...
as I tried to download debian, I noticed that the download was being
redirected real time (which in itself doesn't necessarily have to mean
bad), what I found a worrying was that:
1) as I used a known public hotspot connection, there was a new
hotspot advertising itself as "Wifi4EU" (of course, I didn't bite that
bait)
2) getting a connection through (apparently) the right hotspot took
way more time than expected
3) downloads were being redirected real time
4) the usual server side responses were not being produced, just:

I have kept those files in hard drives/computers I never connect to
the Internet (that, to me, is the only way to do something with some
"privacy"/security). I later downloaded what seem to be the right
files, anyway. They would make for some easy and nice forensic
analysis (just extracting the content of those iso files, using find
and diff) whenever I find the time to do so.

Why would they not protocol their server responses as every server does? Yes, I have plenty of reasons to believe "they are watching 'me' (and 'you' and every one and their pets)". That is why I effing never connect my main work computer to the Internet and the greatest part of my paranoia is that at the end of the day anyone can take that data and check it (of course, offline), provided you are able to get a hold of an uncorrupted data set somehow. It is as simple as that! Also, I take pride at being from very prejudiced to cautiously racist towards those not only "un-Amerikan", but, even "communist" Chinese before they spread the Corona Virus and about the fact that Vladimir Putin hasn't been able to take away my girlfriend, yet. I would have been a bit less racist towards them (just a bit) if they had infected Trump and his wife earlier to make him shut the eff up. I heard they had been cooking some other virus to make people stop thumbing their cell phones as teen agers touch their genitals. As John Lennon sang, "Imagine!" what would have been of Trump without tweeting! If those Chinese lowlifes would had managed that I would have stopped being racist towards them for a weekend. lbrtchx

and after mostly following the steps outlined in:
https://rickvanderzwet.nl/trac/personal/wiki/XeroxPhaser6125N
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems
I can see the printer fine both while using cups going: localhost:631
and in libreoffice and okular, but the printer doesn't actually print.
The message that I see in cups is: State: stopped "Filter failed"

A google search a less than 5 sinvoll hits which weren't really helpful.

Yeah, my problem is not finding the files per se. I have them or could have them easily listed. The thing is that when you work on copora research you have to get fairly complicated answers from millions of text "as fast as possible" and you have to make sure that your baseline hasn't been changed. I will have to play (again) with the options that you have given me and by the way I said sha256sum as an example in the typical case you would run "file" and two hashes on each file and that would take forever a user's machine. lbrtchx

What documentation, books, videos, ... would you suggest for me to read up if I were to investigate what exactly is "find" 's magic to hook other processes and keep a running instance for multiple "found" files? lbrtchx
Could RAM possibly be just 3-4 times faster than bare hdd writes and reads? or, is the Linux kernel doing its 'magic' in the bg? or, ...
HDDs have their internal caching mechanism and I have heard that the
Linux kernel uses RAM very effitiently, but to my understanding RAM
being only 3-4 times faster doesn't make much sense, so I may be doing
or understanding something not entirely right.
does dd actually hit the bare metal drive or is it just reaching the
disks cache
This is what I am consistently getting from my code doing intesive IO
on the RAM drive:

also, if in order to use RAID 10 you need 4 drives (but the dollar per Gb is approaching $0.02) and you get 1.5 faster performance, what is the economy of "bying more RAM" if it is so much more expensive? Any comparison on HDD, SSD and RAM including pros and cons which is worth reading? lbrtchx

Oh, well, yes. I knew that I was "seeing" something that wasn't quite right. Your answers grounded me on such issues.
