Ansible : User to use
Dear list, I'm beginning to work with Ansible to configure my hosts. What is the best practice to run playbooks on all of my Linux host ? I must define a specific user ? Regards, Thierry

Re: python3 modules -- apt vs pip?
I always use pip. From: robo...@news.nic.it on behalf of Joe Pfeiffer Sent: Friday, April 3, 2020 11:54:31 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: python3 modules -- apt vs pip? I've been using apt (and friends) to maintain my systems, including python. Today I discovered the Debian version of the more-itertools module is on version 4.2.0 and is three years old. Meanwhile, the version documented on pypi.org is at version 8.2.0, and has at least one recipe whose arguments are in a different order from the Debian packaged version (grouper, whose order of arguments changed in version 6.0.0). This causes problems, as you might imagine, with other modules! So... do people generally use pip to maintain their python libraries, rather than apt? What's the recommended best practices here?
Re: Switching from Kubuntu to Debian(latest version)
You have 2 solutions : - Install Debian as a third os, and copy all you need from Ubuntu. - Change your Ubuntu to Debian. To do this you must : - Choose the version of Debian, you need to use. - Choose your new graphical environment. - Adapt your repositories, clean and update your packages database. - Update Apt application. - Upgrade your app. From: Peter Ehlert Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2020 3:14:24 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Switching from Kubuntu to Debian(latest version) On 5/16/20 4:17 AM, Cletus Kingdom wrote: > Good Afternoon, > I'm Cletus(a Web Developer using Kubuntu Linux Destro), and I want to > switch to Debian (that was my first choice of Destro, just that I > wasn't able to install and configure it) > > So I want to know wether it's possible to switch to Debian without > looking my files ? Yes. Copy all of your Data files to an external device... such as a USB drive.** for your Kubuntu they are Probably all in the /home directory for Windows I am not familiar on where they are kept. When you have them ALL safely copied off machine then proceed with whatever method you like to install Debian. After your install, form a Backup Plan for your Data (all of your personal files), and Use that Backup routine Frequently.** Best of luck!. PS: installing Windows again may be a challenge. Figure out how to do that First. **system install is trivial, your Data is not replaceable. Backup! > > N/B: I'm running Kubuntu and Windows currently (I still want to keep > my Windows)
/dev/dvb do not exist
Hello, I'm trying to configure an FM/DAB/DVB stick, it's an r820t using an rtl2838 chip. I'm able to listen fm radios. When I use w_scan, it is not able to find the folder /dev/dvb. How can I create this ? Thanks Thierry
Re: is Ansible easy to use?
Hi Philipp, I don't have a very long and intense experience with Ansible. It doesn't seem complex to me, you have to use the same logic as if you were doing it manually. The biggest problem I have encountered is modifying a configuration file whose different cases are complex. Even with another method, it would be. From: Philipp Ewald Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2022 3:39:23 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: is Ansible easy to use? Hi folks, is ansible a easy way to configure customized hosts? First try, its super complicated for me. Trying to create multiple files with content. It takes more time to create the playbook then creating this file by hand (this damn syntax acomplicates everything more) Then formatting is destroyed or need more time on creating the playbook... It is so hard or im so bad? -- Philipp Ewald Administrator

Re: Thunderbird vs Claws Mail
My last experience with mua is : - KMail have problem with big imap mailbox. - Claws mail not render correctly html mails. - Thunderbird work great. I'm under kde so I don't try evolution.

No real complaints, but the GUI has been slowly been changed. lately I have been struggling with that, trying to get it to be My Way. Minor success. also the .msf files have gotten Huge and that hinders rapid and easy backups. In the process I would like to do some housekeeping, fix a few filters and rearrange my copious folders. Question: do you folks recommend migrating to Claws Mail? the initial look and feel seems to be familiar and comfortable, but I know little of the history and stability. secondly, will I be missing the basic features such as Filters? thanks in advance. -- Thierry LEURENT BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:4.0 N:Leurent;Thierry;;; FN:Thierry LEURENT NICKNAME:BackFromHell EMAIL;PREF=1:thierry.leur...@asgardian.be URL:https://Asgardian.be TZ:Europe/Brussels END:VCARD

It doesn't render them at all, unless you have a suitable plugin installed(1). And yes, for a while, HTML rendering was not great. This was due to removal (in many distros) of a package required by the Fancy plugin (I forget which) that had security issues.

NFS over-NFS
Hello, For a migration project of nfs-server, I create a new server. I have mounting new share to the mounting points of the old server to keep the sharing. For some shares, on the clients, I have some "permission denied" when I want use the share. When I ask a status of the service, I have Dec 11 13:20:52 oldnfsserver.batcave.gotham exportfs[24907]: exportfs: /data/share does not support NFS export On oldnfsserver, I can write, read and modify files. On oldnfsserver, if : * I stop sharing the folder. * I unmount the share to the newnfsserver. * I start to share the folder. I'm able to use it from my clients. If I remount the share. It stop to work from the client server. I cannot understand where is the problem, do you have any idea ? My last solution, restart the oldnfsserver. Thierry
