ping gateway ok, ping any other local network address fails
Hi, First, I tried to understand why a single machine among others couldn't print on the local printer. So I tried to ping the printer and it failed. The machine could nevertheless surf the web with no problem ... I paste here a few commands I passed when remotely connected to the problematic machine (sorry for the french locale). What should I check next ? Ideas ?

It looks like your printer could be mis-configured. What is make\model of your printer? How printer was connected to your local area network (using Switch or Router)? What method have you used to configure IP address of the printer? Usually, network settings could be verified by printing a special settings report page. Thanks for your help Alexander, To configure the printer, I first have to be able to ping it on the local network, which every over computer can do. And they can print all right, so this desktop must have some network misconfiguration of some sort, I guess ... It seems like trapped into a tunnel toward the gateway/router to get out, but can't shake hands with a pal next door. I first suspected a firewall rule of some sort, but there's none. I had to investigate remotely as I can't physically access the machine, so until I can have another chance (the lock-down situation here doesn't help) I'm gathering hints and ideas. Rudu
exim4 as a smarthost with TLS
Dear Debian users, I would greatly appreciate some help here, as I'm trying to tighten up my configuration of exim4 in a smarthost way. My desktop runs Bullseye and performs a few cron tasks who used to send me by mail the notifications of their successful executions (or not). I stopped receiving these notifications around late April this year. But my initial configuration of exim4 was way back, I suppose I just did something like this at the time : https://wiki.debian.org/Exim#Smarthost_with_Authentication My e-mail service provider seems not to accept this anymore so I went to this chapter : https://wiki.debian.org/Exim#TLS_and_authentication ... and followed each step except the "Dual stack RSA/ECDSA configuration" which seemed unnecessary. Still, a simple : $ mail -s test my.n...@provider.fr ... ends up to show in # tail -f /var/log/exim4/mainlog : 2021-07-30 10:58:09 1m9OLJ-000cAf-Ss <= my.n...@provider.fr U=rudu P=local S=461 2021-07-30 10:58:10 1m9OLJ-000cAf-Ss == my.n...@provider.fr R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-37) H=smtpauth.provider.fr [185.204.xxx.xxx]: TLS session: (certificate verification failed): certificate invalid So, when I ran the command : # bash /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert ... did I miss something that should be there ?

Your exim certificate has nothing to do with this.
But your smarthost certificate certainly does.
Every time you try to send a mail, your exim checks certificate of
remote MTA, and it does not like what it sees.
So, when I ran the command :
# bash /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert
... did I miss something that should be there ?
It's possible. Please provide an output of:
grep -i 'tls_.*verify' /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
grep split exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
A typo.

I'm afraid I don't understand much of what you're asking me.

Exim4 smarthost conf
Hi, I'm at a lost here trying to configure exim4 on a laptop running bookworm as a smarthost relay to my email provider. I already made it working on my desktop machine (bookworm also) on the same local network though I had difficulties too at the time. All I'm trying to do is to send myself a mail in a terminal. To make it quick and with the help of the config files I found on my desktop, I did : # dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config # smtpauth.provider.fr::465 # vi /etc/exim4/passwd.client # putting the credentials here # vi /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros # MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = 1 # /usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/exim-gencert # generating exim.crt and exim.key files in /etc/exim4/ # update-exim4.conf # systemctl restart exim4 $ echo "exim4 test" | mail -s "exim4 test" m...@mydomain.com Then tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog shows invariably : 2022-07-19 17:16:22 1oDoHK-ta-0W H=provider.fr [109.234.xxx.xxx]: Remote host closed connection in response to initial connection 2022-07-19 17:16:22 1oDoHK-ta-0W == m...@mydomain.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-18) H=provider.fr [109.234.xxx.xxx]: Remote host closed connection in response to initial connection 2022-07-19 17:16:22 End queue run: pid=4692 -qff I have a doubt concerning the generation of the TLS files, I didn't know what to answer to some questions (what domain name should I choose for my local network for example ?) and I may have not given the same answers at the time I got it working on my desktop. So if this rings a bell for anybody, I would welcome any hint to track down what's wrong here. TIA Rudu

If I am not mistaken, Bookworm has libdrm-nouveau2 and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau packages to provide nouveau driver. Only libdrm-nouveau2 has seen new upstream release landing in bookworm recently. See in your apt logs if these packages were part of the upgrade you undertaken recently? For me, history.log shows upgrade entry on 2022-08-03 (20 days ago): libdrm-nouveau2:amd64 (upgrade from version 2.4.110-1 to version 2.4.112-3). Also please show output of inxi -G command in terminal. Install inxi if you haven't already. -- With kindest regards, Piotr.

OT : Debian VPS for backup through SFTP protocol for a win10 client
Hello, I've set up openssh-server on a debian bullseye VPS which serves as a backup for some folders of debian testing laptops. I'm using luckybackup for the clients part and all seems fine so far. Now I'm asked to add a pair of win10 boxes to the clients of that VPS, and I don't know how I could do this. I tried successfully to mount my VPS volume as a network drive using SSHFS for windows : https://github.com/winfsp/sshfs-win But I can't find a way or a software (preferably free) able to schedule some incremental backup on it. I know I'm a bit OT on this, but maybe someone has already been there and could send me in the right direction. Thanks for reading me anyway, Rudu

(I don't know) hede Thank you very much Gareth and Hede for your help. I'll investigate your suggestions ASAP. I had configured a BackupPC server in the LAN once, who could "pull" backups from Linux and windows boxes, but now some of the staff are working from different places now, hence the necessity of a alternative which could "push" its backups online.

I hope this is going to make sense for some of you and that you could

Greetings,
I'm trying to setup a vpn connection to my local desktop.
I've successfully achieved it with my local laptop using this tutorial :
https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-ikev2-protonvpn/
I figured that I would as well achieve it on my desktop.
But I fail to have a working connection though I reproduced the exact
same operations.
Both are running the same OSes :
# lsb_release -d
Description: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid
My desktop goes as far as getting a connection :
[...]

And dmesg sends lots of things like those I put in the subject of my mail.
I searched the web with as many keywords as I could think of, to no
avail ... for me.
What I figure out is the problem is that somehow, apparmor denies to
network-manager the ability to provide a valid resolv.conf file.
So ipsec can't add a DNS server to my VPN connection.
It's beyond me right now, if anIt's beyond me right now, if anybody can

For that particular file it's:

Thank you very much Reco, you taught me something I had to know indeed.
Apparmor isn't installed on my laptop, but it is on my desktop and I
wasn't aware of this.
It explains why I hadn't experienced any problem setting up the laptop.
I had to install apparmor-utils on my desktop though, it wasn't there so
neither were
the aa-logprof, aa-complain and aa-enforce commands (among others).
So I read some docs online to understand the general idea, then :

Makes me wonder what the rest of your apache configuration is like -
there must be some interaction between munin and other things in

Hello Karl,

I guess this is an apache2 config problem ...

Java perspective missing in Eclipse 3.8.1-10
Hello, It was almost a year ago when I last used Eclipse to work on some Java projects and everything was going fine. Today, it freezed on its splash screen on every launch. I first removed ~/.eclipse to no avail. When I removed path/to/my/workspace/.metadata Eclipse did open a fresh window where I should have been able to re-create my Java project ... unless there was no way to initiate Java projects anymore. I purge eclipse and its dependencies : # apt-get autoremove eclipse* --purge Then did a fresh install : $ dpkg -l eclipse* | grep ^ii ii eclipse 3.8.1-10 all Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE ii eclipse-jdt 3.8.1-10 all Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT) ii eclipse-pde 3.8.1-10 amd64Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) ii eclipse-platform3.8.1-10 amd64Eclipse platform without development plug-ins ii eclipse-platform-data 3.8.1-10 all Eclipse platform without development plug-ins (data) ii eclipse-rcp 3.8.1-10 amd64Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) Still, there is no way to generate a java project.

A server getting mad
Hello, I'm in search of advice here as I don't know where to start. A server has been running backuppc nicely for several years. And then a couple of months ago, it began to eat up the bandwidth of the local network. I don't have much information now as it's a remote location and I can't get a connection when the problem occurs. I may have a few hours to investigate though, after a reboot of the server, but what am I looking for ? All I could gather via phone call during the problem with a top and netstat command on the server is that a "xddlvqhhrd" command is consuming 25% of CPU and that a connection is established with a remote IP by a program named "grep "A"" Sounds like a rootkit to me. Some action/documentation to help to get rid of this ? TIA Rudu

Definitely. Some action/documentation to help to get rid of this ? The only sure way to clean the server is to backup the data, then wipe the system and reinstall it. Every other way or attempt to save or clean the system by doing checks with things like "debsums -c" will likely not catch everything and thus leaves the system hacked and vulnerable. Even if "rkhunter" or "chkrootkit" or "debsums -c" don't find anything suspicious you cannot be sure there really is nothing going on behind your back. For example: One of my servers got hacked some time ago and the attacker installed a kernel based rootkit and backdoor which was untracable in the running system. Only by booting from an external device (like a USB key or DVD) allowed me to find the changed /sbin/init and the hidden /dev/.w0rm directory. The kernel code redirected every read (and write) to /sbin/init to the saved original file, so "debsums -c" did not provide any help. And the directory in /dev was also hidden by the kernel code the same way. Also just reinstalling the system is not enough, you need to identify the intrusion point and fix that too, or the attacker will be back soon. Maybe you are lucky and only the process you see running has been injected, but can you really be sure? My advise if you want to sleep in peace: Flatten and rebuild. It is painful but it will get rid of the attacker. Grüße, Sven. Thank you Sven, You've comforted my first impulse. That's definitely the way to go. Regards, Rudu
Bash script calling python script fails
Hello, There's something I just can't figure out : I wrote a bash script to compare my actual IP address to the one of my DynDNS service provider. That bash script calls a python script (provided by the DynDNS service) to update my DynDNS Address if necessary. Everything runs smoothly when I run my script by hand as root or as a standard user. But when I put a symbolic link to my script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ in order to make the checking / updating automatic at boot time, the python script doesn't seem to be launched at all, although my Bash script logs fine and sends me a success e-mail. What could prevent a python script to be executed in such circumstances ?

Difficult to say without seeing the actual scripts, but my hunch would be
that some environment variable(s) is different when run "by hand" and
when run from if-up. The first candidate would be, of course, PATH.
If you call ipcheck from the shell script just like "ipcheck.py", then
the shell looks for it in all places indicated by $PATH.
As a first test, try putting the call with the full path like so:
/usr/local/bin/ipcheck.py (replace the path by the correct one in
your case).

You're right I should have pasted my script in the first place (see below).
By the way, you'll see I already thought about this $PATH thing, but

OK, next thing(s):
(1) is the script readable by the user (probably root) from the point
where the ifup is? (perhaps some intervening dir isn't readable)
Tomas, you hit something here I guess : I ran the symlink as root from
/etc/network/if-up.d/
:/etc/network/if-up.d# ./dynhost
And received the same e-mail as after a reboot (see below) + my dynhost
address has not been updated
(2) perhaps /home or /home/rudu isn't mounted yet when that happens?
(3) do you see anything in your log file (you should at least see the
first "-", that would answer (2). In that case you might want
do do
"test -f /home/rudu/DynHost/ipcheck.py && echo "readable" || echo
"non-readable" >> $LOGFILE
or something similar.

has been executed plus this is logged in my logfile :

What gives you the impression that it's the invocation of the python

failing case?
When I run my script from userland, I find something like this in my log
file :
Log ipcheck :
ipcheck.py: my.dynhost.org good 85.69.xx.xx -update successful
(BTW I didn't go with too a fine comb through your script, but it looks
basically sensible. I wouldn't wget to a file but directly pass the result
through grep (wget -O - | grep ...), and I'd redirect the output of the
python script >> $LOGFILE, instead of passing it through $THISLOG, but
those are minor nits which shouldn't alter the result).
Thanks, I'll have a better look at this.

Well, I finally got it right.
I overlooked some piece of code I thought was of no consequence ... but
it was :
EXEDIR=$(dirname $0)
echo $EXEDIR
cd "${EXEDIR}"
When launched from the symlink, this code set the working directory to
if-up.d where no python script was to be found.
My bad, but thanks a lot to Tomas for having put me on the right track.

KDE-Plasma Hibernation

I would like to have the opportunity of choosing to hibernate my system running a debian/buster kde-plasma environment for maybe a year already, but I can't find a way to make the Kickoff>Leave menu to show any choice other than system> quit or restart (apart from the usual session options). $ systemctl hibernate works nevertheless as expected in a konsole terminal. So, I googled of course to find a cause and a cure to this odd behavior. What I tried was this : Create a file : /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/enable-hibernate.pkla With this content : [Re-enable hibernate by default in upower] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=yes [Re-enable hibernate by default in logind] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate ResultActive=yes ... to no avail ...

Fn Backlight keys on Dell XPS
Hi everybody, My question isn't debian specific, but I guess a similar problem might occur with debian on that laptop.

The others Fn Keys for sound, wifi, touchpad disabling, etc. work fine. I googled the web for hours, and found several grub tweaking through the /etc/default/grub file and his GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter. So far I tried : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nolapic" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=video" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash dell_acpi" ... without success.

I googled the web for hours, and found several grub tweaking through the /etc/default/grub file and his GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter. So far I tried : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nolapic" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=video" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash dell_acpi" ... without success. Is there anything logged at dmesg related to this acpi problem? (dmesg | grep -i acpi) If someone can shed some light on this one I would be very grateful. Mmm, you can consider: a) Asking at Ubuntu forums/mailing lists b) Open a bug report in Ubuntu for the non-functional function keys c) Try with a new kernel version (from a LiveCD to avoid messing up things) d) Using "xbacklight" application Greetings, Thank you very much Camaleón.

Wheezy X broken ?
Hello, After my last upgrade & reboot, my wheezy refused to fire up gdm3/kdm. All I have is a black console offering a login.

Dual-Head / extended desktop
Hi, A friend asked for my help in configuring his laptop with a video projector. He is looking for an all GUI solution. His ACER Travelmate is running Ubuntu 8.04 that he is willing to keep until the next "LTS" release. The graphic card is an ATI Radeon X700. First, using the fglrx driver with the "ATI Catalyst" GUI, we couldn't prevent both of the screens to show colored horizontal lines as soon as we tried to activate the second one. Then, using the "radeon" driver, with grandr or with the system preferences screen resolution tool, we couldn't get further than showing a full 1280x800 desktop on the LCD but projected on the wall, only a portion of 1024x768 on the far right of that same desktop. Booting the same hardware with wXP we could extend the desktop to an extra 1024x768 on the right with no problem. There must be something obvious that we missed ... I would be very thankfull to any pointer ... Jean Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Thanks Anand,
In single user mode, I can login on the first virtual console but every
other ctrl+alt+Fn I hit only gives me a black screen with a prompt
flashing in the upper left corner ...
Launching a graphic session with startx instead of gdm/kdm doesn't
change anything except that I don't even have any flashing prompt on my
black screen anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.

No, this is a huge quality loss! Try opening in a PDF reader that does not anti-alias, such as Okular. It looks terrible. It looks better than just a bunch of black ;-) Now the source of the problem has been detected, it's just a matter of tweaking the right values to get a higher quality output (Ghostscript has many options for controlling this and GNOME/KDE virtual PDF printer does also a nice job on this regard).
