menuentry isn't always the first word on the line. So ^menuentry doesn't
find all matches.
You could try
awk -F"'" '/menuentry/ {print $2}' grub.cfg
(use ' as the delimiter, search for menuentry and print the second

Re: Installing nvidia-driver removes xorg

With apt_1.1~exp3 I could reproduce the issue: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg is not world-readable and apt now uses a _apt user for some tasks. So it cannot access the public keys for verification.

Re: Enabling a second graphic card

I have recently acquired 2 (identical, 4/3 shaped) screens, so I combined them with my current favorite screen on a computer which have 2 graphic cards, but it seems that Debian did not enabled the second card. I have tried it on a temporary Ubuntu install, and it works fine out of the box, so Debian must be able to use that 2nd card too. I tried to install a more recent kernel from backports on Debian just in case, but still no luck. Now that I'm thinking about it, I did not checked what Ubuntu uses as driver, so if it uses NVidia, this could be the reason, since I'm using nouveau on Debian. But I think that Ubuntu does not install proprietary blobs by default? I tried to find a xorg.conf in /etc on both system, no one had it. There is no Internet access from that computer, so packages are installed from the Ubuntu DVD I bought 2-3 months ago (14.04 IIRC) and from a Debian DVD set I have downloaded at work (7.5, DVDs 1 to 9 IIRC). Does anyone knows if nouveau is supports a configuration with 2 graphic cards, or do I have to install NVidia's drivers to do the job? Does someone have some links to documents which could explain how to enable that 2nd card? Note that I think the second card is disabled, because after doing quick searches in /sys, I discovered that what I suppose to be the second card directory have a file named "enabled" which contains "0". But I'm not expert at all when it comes to kernel stuff. An easy way is to install the nvidia drivers and use the nvidia-settings program to make modifications to your screen. An other solution is to use xrandr, but I haven't used it for a long time. success, floris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Setup a Nvidia multiseat
Op Sun, 10 Aug 2014 04:32:00 +0200 schreef Hugo Vanwoerkom
:
Could you elaborate? You mean that if you connect, lets say a ps/2
keyboard and an USB keyboard, 2 Nvidia video cards with 2 monitors
attached and 2 USB mice and I run systemd, then it will figure out how
to make a 2-seater out of this. Meaning 2 users logged on
simultaneously. Surely you must set up a proper xorg.conf, how much
should it contain? Have you actually tried this or is it your conclusion
that "systemd ought to do this"?
Hugo
Three steps are necessary:
1 - Create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf
Unfortunately, this step is always required for a Nvidia card, only the
"MatchSeat" option has to be added.
(note, I don't have a xorg.conf file)
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Seat0"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "ProbeAllGpus" "FALSE"
MatchSeat "seat0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Seat1"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
Option "ProbeAllGpus" "FALSE"
MatchSeat "seat1"
EndSection
2 - Tag the Nvidia card for seat1 as a "master-of-seat"
This step is a litter harder. Since you have to figure out where your
Nvidia card is. If your card has hdmi you can find the location by looking
at the sound card.
$ loginctl seat-status seat0
...
├─/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.1/sound/card1
│ sound:card1 "NVidia"
...
The video part will be
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.0
Write an udev rule
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/72-seat-1.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="pci",
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.0", TAG+="seat",
TAG+="master-of-seat", ENV{ID_AUTOSEAT}="1", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat1"
reboot or use 'udevadm trigger' to apply the new rule
3 - Attach a mouse, keyboard and soundcard
Use loginctl seat-status seat0 to find your devices and "move" them to
seat1 with
loginctl attach seat1
If you use a usb-hub for the mouse and keyboard attach the hub, so every
device you plug into the hub will attached to seat1
You can verify your setup with
$ loginctl seat-status seat1
seat1
Sessions: *c2
Devices:
├─/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.0
│ [MASTER] pci::02:00.0
├─/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.1/sound/card1
│ sound:card1 "NVidia"
│
├─/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.1/sound/card1/input14
│ │ input:input14 "HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=3"
│
└─/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:05.0/:02:00.1/sound/card1/input15
│ input:input15 "HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=7"
...
Finally,
Step 1 is always necessary for a Nvidia card. I don't know if the
nvidia-xconfig program is able to add the "MatchSeat" option. Don't use
the xorg.conf file, because only seat0 will use it. So the X server on
seat1 will give you an error "No device found"
Maybe the Nvidia Maintainers will help us in the future with Step 2. I
think it is possible that all Nvidia graphic devices get the
"master-of-seat" tag. I will ask them.
Step 3 is always required for a multiseat setup. Unless you have a open
source displaylink device.
succes,
floris

But in my research I haven't found (yet) anyone who's gotten the scanner to work with Linux on the Photosmart, let alone the sheet feeder for it. Allegedly there are instructions and requirements for using the fax on Linux. But I'd like to hear from someone who has actually gotten all of this working on Linux (either debian or centos) and which version of which distro is needed. The Canon PIXMA mg5420 doesn't have a fax or a sheet feeder for its scanner, but I'm guessing it's even dodgier to get just its single-sheet flatbed scanner and its printer working with Linux. So has anyone had success with that? I've also read horror stories about the how often new ink cartridges are required, that basically you pay for the printer a second and third time buying cartridges (not to mention how often a print job is interrupted by a trip to buy new cartridges). Any first-hand reports on that? Whoever thought spending money would be so tough? Thanks for your knowledge and experience. My two cents: I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 All-in-one connected via my home network and it works out of the box. The scan-to-computer-button is the only feature I haven't test. But I can give a successfully scan command from my computer. USB Connect: - CUPS also have drivers for the MG5400 series, so I suspect the printer function will work. - Sane reports on their site: "Pixma MG5400 - usb - Untested", but the MG5300 and MG6100 are successfully tested, so I think the scanner-function will work also. Network Connect (Pixma is connected via a hub or switch): Connon use standard network protocols, so I suspect this will work. Ink: I haven't count how many pages I can print, but I use the ink-refill-shop around the corner. And many people do, so Canon doesn't make any profit on my ink. (Or they must also make the cheaper ink cartridges) good luck, floris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You can track the transitions that are happening in Debian at https://release.debian.org/transitions/ , there are a planned libgnome-desktop-3-10 transition (which probabbly will be substitute by a the 3.12 version?). You can see which packages are affected by such transition by clicking at transition name. There are reasons for the delay, you can see more at the next bug comment:: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740137#19 Debian Policy specify when a unstable package should be migrate to the testing stage, but from experimental to unstable is decided by maintainers and it is influeced by release manager team + ftp team (maybe somebody can be more precise than me?) load average Regards, the bug report (#740137) is about gnome-online-accounts and evolution-data-server. These two transitions where fixed after the systemd + Gnome sprint. The only package i can find today is "grilo-plugins" which can hold the libgnome-desktop-3-10 transition.

And it isn't system d either. Why? Because it's a system daemon, and under Unix/Linux those are in lower case, and get suffixed with a lower case d. And since systemd manages the system, it's called systemd. It's that simple. But then again, if all that appears too simple to you, call it (but never spell it!) System Five Hundred since D is the roman numeral for 500 (this also clarifies the relation to System V, right?). The only situation where we find it OK to use an uppercase letter in the name (but don't like it either) is if you start a sentence with systemd. On high holidays you may also spell it sÿstëmd. But then again, Système D is not an acceptable spelling and something completely different (though kinda fitting):-)

Folks, learn to use the web site. Just surf over to [1] and you can query the current package database. For example, entering "aptitude" into the form and choosing "any" as Distribution shows you what distributions carry aptitude as a package [2] (and which versions of said package are in each distrib). Thanks for explaining how to use the internet /s For aptitude, it turns out that aptitude is in wheezy (aka 7, aka (currently) oldoldstable), jessie (aka 8, aka oldstable), stretch (aka 9, aka stable), buster (aka testing) and sid (aka unstable). Thus either the icon in Synaptics is wrong (check your package sources, check your update status) or whatever Synaptics is trying to tell you with this icon is not what you think it's telling you. Maybe you could point the OP a way how to find out what is wrong? Personally, I've perceived Synaptics as pretty unpredictable, but I've never found out whether it's the program or it's me. Synaptics is very useful for users who wants a GUI for apt or dpkg. But I agree with you when there is a dependency issue it isn't very useful.

Looks like maintainers need some help. It shouldn't take three months to bring an important update into Experimental. I am not sure why, but the Nvidia packages are uploaded into the NEW queue and have to wait until they are _manually_ transfered to unstable. That is why there is a chapter about the svn branch in the wiki for all the people who don't want to wait. The Debian Nvidia maintainers are very quick with the new version.

Intel Atom Poulsbo, gma500
on an older laptop I try to use Debian testing. In dutch it is called a SkoolMate 3 laptop and I believe it is the same as the Intel ClassMate laptop. Inside there is an Intel Atom N2600 CPU which is also responsible with a PowerVR chip for the GPU. After a lot of reading about this processor it seems there is an impasse for this chip. It is possible to use this chip with the gma500 kernel module, but 3D hardware acceleration is not available. Intel has made their part opensource and tells the end user to ask the device manufacturer (this is Intel???) or the linux distribution for support [1]. Imagination Technologies (PowerVR) on their side only tells that they make a chip and it is Intel's responsibility to make a driver. There are older 3D Intel drivers available but unfortunately they are only for Fedora 14, kernel 2.6 and Xorg 1.9 maybe my Google skills are not as good as they should be, but is there anyone who use this chip on a Debian testing computer or know some way to use the 3D hardware acceleration? thanks, Floris [1] https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/faq

Nothing fancy, just a ftp server that can use mysql as authentication and bear the load of approx on or two logins in a week... ;-) Best, Florian proftpd is removed from testing, because of new bugs. See https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/proftpd-dfsg.html for more information. Success, Floris

How do I solve the problem/warnings? do you have a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ or the file /etc/apt/preferences If one of the above files exists, then a copy of the file will give us more information.

Re: Why I can not install software on debian easily?

I tried to install opera on Debian. I have computer science degree and I still trying to do this. I know nobody will read this email. Time to go back to Windows. John Success, Floris
Re: Jessie gdm3 configuration for multiseat

I've looked on the gdm website: https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/ but to no-avail.

Thanks, Joshua Multiseat is build-in in gdm3, so there is no configuration file. So how to make a multiseat? - you must use systemd - remove old Xorg.conf multiseat files! (a Nvidia file is fine) - run $ loginctl seat-status seat0 and find the keyboard, mouse and Gpu you want to use on your second seat (the gpu must be a "master" device) - run $ loginctl attach seat1 /sys/devices/pci.../.../.../your/mouse for your mouse, keyboard and Gpu log-off and log-on and gdm3 will appear on both screens Success, Floris older information: http://code.lexarcana.com/posts/simple-multiseat-setup-on-fedora-17.html https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/936873/?comment=4996515
