Probabbly the most complete README in Debian Archive

I would not complaint about aptitude documentation, but yes about all that
packages that are shipping with a poor /usr/share/doc/xxx directory and
without package-doc package (which would be nice to have).

At my system:
1364 /usr/share/doc/xxx directories with a README file (seems fine to me)
3591 /usr/share/doc/xxx directories without a README file (many of that
packages sure have manpages and/or info files)

I think it would be a improvement that README file be present at each
package, at least providing a mininum info about the package / program /
library.

i know it is a utopy, but would be beatiful an unified README file with
sections like:

What it is? Why it is installed? Is it configurable? What manpage or doc to
read? Links to webs

I know, it is Debian, you want, you can start to do the work ...

It is only a suggestion that would be Debian better for me.

Sometimes I says , oh no, another /usr/share/doc/xxx package only with
changelog (necessary for me too!) and license (perfect too!!) ! Where could
I learn about what is that library or that program! ?

i know how to search manpages, and search on the internet and search at
https://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html ... but it would be useful
to have a nice README for every package.

Well I hope this mail not disturb anybody, it is only a simple idea

It is a known issue , see

Maybe somebody know how usé ffmpg to send desktop without lag to Chromecast
(my quick test (from the first result on Google/duckeuckgo) was not ok)?

A hipotetical solution would be record Desktop with ffmpeg, use sometype of
proxy to play the recording on a localhost http URL which could be played
from chromium and then send the tab to chromecast

I swiched from aptitude to apt-get/apt some years ago

aptitude need love :(

My problem was mixing 64 and 32 bits packages. Seem aptitude didn't do a
good job

Reading Planet debian and transitions and apt-listbugs (or how It is named)
, apt update && apt full-upgrade , run perfect in unstable

Icedove doesn't drag and drop for me

[Javier Barroso]

Hi,

My icedove doesn't drag and drop my emails from inbox to folder. 2
weeks ago I used drag and drop it without problem.

I upgrade my (sid) system with full-upgrade frequently.

Are your icedove working fine for you with drag and drop?

Thank you

Now, I see ...

When I launch icedove with alltray, drag and drop fails, when I start
standalone, it works !

I don't know if I should post a bug again alltray.

I used alltray long time ago, perhaps my recently force-migration from gnome
to xfce was the reason about this issue

Any one with XFCE could start "alltray icedove" and tell me if drag and
drops works there ?

Thanks you!
PD: How do you configure icedove (icedove-traybiff?) to doesn't close when
you click on close button ?

If you want context lines (-3 before and +4 later in the example you could
use A and B switch):

grep -A4 -B3 "greylist.*\.aol\.com" /var/log/syslog | less

Always is there a first time to do the things.

Rodolfo, Sid hasn't got a installer, you have to install lenny / etch and
then upgrade / full-upgrade to sid changing /etc/apt/sources.list as people
said.

Like other  said too, a good connection is good for sid (because there are
many changes daily)

I recommend you to use aptitude, but it can be a flamewar ...

aptitude --> 'u' --> '/' --> linux-image --> 2.6.26 --> '+' --> 'g' --> 'g'

Hi,

When I have to compare two large files, first, I split them into smaller
files, then I run diff between these files (with bash help, of course). In
my case it worked fine.

Re: Debian htmlview package

Could you be looking for "x-www-browser" alternative ?

I think it is the debian way of htmlview

Hi,

Did you choose LVM as /dev/sdb1 type ?
You could use the whole disk with pvcreate /dev/sdb (sdb without partition
table).

Firefox irresponsible

[Javier Barroso]

Hi list,

Since one week ago I'm noticing firefox is sometimes irresponsible during
three or four seconds.

First I experiment it with swiftfox, then I used Firefox (iceweasel) 2 and
the problem didn't go out. Then I switch to iceweasel 3 from experimental,
and I see this again.

I don't know how can I debug this problem. iceweasel take high % cpu during
the time it is irresponsible.

If I exec strace I get:
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
gettimeofday({1210772361, 739127}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=17,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=48, events=POLLIN},
{fd=28, events=POLLIN}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}], 11, 0) = 0
gettimeofday({1210772361, 739254}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1210772361, 739295}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])
...

But I think this strace doesn't give any clue.

Somebody with the same problem ? Any workarround ?

I didn't install any plugin recently (only tamper data and developer
extension installed on my iceweasel)

Thanks you !

Debian Rocks !

I don't know what they do.

Tamper helps you to track HTTP request (with possible changes 'on the fly'),
and developer has many features interested

Yes, I meant "unresponsive", but I think I don't have any heavy I/O (good
pentium D, with many memory free and a sata disk, xfce and a few
applications (low load average))

I'll use iotop the next time

You should use i=$((i+1))

Question about samba domains' migration and browsing slowly

[Javier Barroso]

Hello,

Currently, we are migrating from samba 3.0 PDC [without LDAP as auth
backend] domain named A to a new samba 3.0 PDC [ with LDAP as auth backend
and a new sid and name ]. The 2 domains are on the same network and we are
migrating host by host.

Like both of domain controllers (A and B) wants to be the browser master,
browsing from windows explorer on the net is slow (I think because a browser
master elections fight continously).

Do you know how can I set only one browser master or a work arround ?

Thanks in advance

It is likely hal is not working for you. What does /etc/init.d/hal status say ?

I think, you should have all files referencered in ldd
/[chroot]/sbin/getty output in your /[chroot]/ environment.

I had a similar problem, because my chroot was missing /lib64 directory

I don't know /lib/i486-linux-gnu directory meaning and if it is ok to
have it empty.

Good luck!

Take a look in /usr/share/dbconfig-common/data/mantis/upgrade/mysql/

There are scripts that helps to upgrade. It is like the last upgrade

This is a frequently asked question in this list, should be explain in
our wiki [1]

I don't known if it (procediment from wiki) is the best practice or
conclusions from this or previous threads [2,3,4] should be included
in that page (or even in README.Debian from iptables package).

Did you try login with a new user (empty home) (maybe the problem were

I had a similar problem (my gnome session was eating all my memory),
and I didn't find any doc about all .gconf/ ¿.gconf2/ ? .gnome/
.gnome2/ .gnomerc, ... directories/files meanings :(

So I don't known which file could be causing this behaviour. Maybe
.xsession-errors could help.

Some web with gnome personal directories meanings and which are obsolete?

Did you download both (hd-media and netboot) files from kenshi site,
and then follow him instructions ?

If you can't find any modules, maybe hd-media is missing

At least in sid:
head -3 /etc/modutils/aliases ; grep -i ipv6 aliases
# Aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which modules to use

# Uncomment the network protocols you don't want loaded:

Ok, one time I heard about comment all ipv6 related lines in
/etc/hosts. I'm not sure if this stop ipv6 stuff (I think not at all).

Probably, substituting:

 bin=$(xargs -n 1 -0 echo < /proc/$pid/cmdline | awk '{print $1 ; exit}')

with

bin=$(awk '{print $1; exit}' /proc/$pid/cmdline)

will solved the issue

But I'm not sure why Cameron used xargs in this case.

Ok, I didn't know that. Thank you for the explication

awk -F '\000' '{print $1;exit}' /proc/$pid/cmdline

do the trick then

Full-upgrade (apt vs cupt)

[Javier Barroso]

Hi list,

I wanted to test cupt [1], and then I tried a full-upgrade.

aptitude is not capable to resolve dependencies, but cupt yes. Like
cupt is very new, I would like to ask about why do you think this diff
is here:

# LANG=C aptitude full-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

The following packages are BROKEN:

The following packages will be upgraded:

2.28.0-1 is to be installed.
  telepathy-mission-control-5: Conflicts: telepathy-mission-control
but 4.67-4 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
empathy [2.26.2-1 (now)]
libempathy-common [2.26.2-1 (now)]
libempathy-gtk-common [2.26.2-1 (now)]
libempathy-gtk28 [Not Installed]
libempathy30 [Not Installed]
telepathy-mission-control-5 [Not Installed]

Tier: Safe actions (1)

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

libempathy-gtk19 libempathy23 telepathy-mission-control

Need to get 1235KiB/4775KiB of archives. After unpacking 7432B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [y/N/q] q

Is cupt resolver better than aptitude ones ? Or will it depend of the
case and packages status ?

Maybe aptitude is more conservative than cupt

Have you got any thought ?

Thank you very much !

If you want your package go to debian, you need go to mentors website
[1] and try to find a sponsor DD. You will have to justify your
package is good for the community.

what could be happen in your case.

Did you reboot your machine since made that changes ?

Ok now, I remember better, and my issue was with /lib/tls and not with /lib/ssl.
You could test your machine with 'mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.orig'

My system worked fine without it, but maybe could be others system

But, in xen list you can read about disabling it[1].

dpkg-buildpackage is used for debian source packages (apt-get source
XXX ; apt-get build-dep XXX; cd XXX-y; dpkg-buildpackage ...)

If you want to create a deb package from zero you need go to any
tutorial [1], or read the guide from d.o:

No, I didn't

It is possible this issue is related with apt/sources.list and extra repos
(I remember memory-cache problems whith this). I can't remember now in wich
mv it happened, so I'm not sure about his sources.list content.

How could we replicate this issue without aptitude (writing many files in
very short time ?)?

Sure all these apps would be welcome to debian. I don't know, but should be

Which driver are you using? A friend had a problem like yours, but
reboot worked for him (without any xorg.conf). This was with a intel
