| Unalble to access desktop after Debian install Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:25 AM PDT This is the first time trying to install Debian (10.10) on this system (including proprietary drivers). Install worked without (apparent) errors, but I am unable to get into the desktop. After booting up I get to a black screen with a pointer. The pointer moves, and it seems to go past the monitor on the left. No menus or icons available to log in and access the desktop. I am able to boot into recovery and access a command line. Sometimes I get a blue screen saver. The system is an old dell laptop (Inspiron N5010). The screen has been removed and I am using an external monitor. Maybe that is the source of the issue, perhaps related to GNOME or Xorg? System was working on the previous Windows 7 install. Any pointers on how to further investigate are appreciated. I am somewhat competent at navigating/using Linux, but not much experience installing/administering it. Let me know of any info/logs that would be useful. Thanks These were grabbed in recovery mode: lspci dmesg  |
| Get path of directory containing tmux configuration file Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:00 AM PDT I keep my tmux configuration file in $DOTFILES/tmux and I have a symlink in the home folder pointing to it. But I would like to know how could I get the path to the $DOTFILES/tmux directory from the same tmux configuration file without using the variable $DOTFILES. To get the path from the .zshenv I do: export DOTFILES=$(dirname "$(dirname "$(readlink "${(%):-%N}")")")
It should be something similar.  |
| can iptables/nflog rules be simplified? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 09:28 AM PDT This is my rules about ulogd and iptables, and records are stored in /var/log/ulog/sysloemu.log: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1234 -j NFLOG --nflog-prefix 'example block' iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1234 -j DROP
I want to simplify this rules. I have tried this but it doesn't work: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1234 --nflog-prefix 'example block' -j DROP
out: iptables v1.8.4 (legacy): unknown option "--nflog-prefix" Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information"
but ebtables accepts it: ebtables -A INPUT --protocol ipv4 --ip-proto tcp --ip-sport 1234 --nflog-prefix 'example block' -j DROP
Is there any way to put NFLOG (--nflog-prefix) inside the iptables rule so that there is only one line left? PD: Or some other alternative to simplify these rules, except nftables  |
| libinput -- disable horizontal scrolling Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:38 AM PDT The Logitech Trackman does not have a scroll wheel so we enable it by installing libinput and this libinput.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "Marble Mouse" MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball" Driver "libinput" Option "ScrollMethod" "button" Option "ScrollButton" "8" Option "MiddleEmulation" "true" EndSection
This works well. Combining small-left button with a vertical ball roll scrolls the page vertically but if there is an active horizontal scroll bar the page jitters. A perfectly straight roll requires precise movement and I never need a horizontal scroll. The libinput documentation has this to say Horizontal scrolling Scroll movements provide vertical and horizontal directions, each scroll event contains both directions where applicable, see libinput_event_pointer_get_axis_value(). libinput does not provide separate toggles to enable or disable horizontal scrolling. Instead, horizontal scrolling is always enabled. This is intentional, libinput does not have enough context to know when horizontal scrolling is appropriate for a given widget. The task of filtering horizontal movements is up to the caller.
Here's the rub: libinput does not provide separate toggles to enable or disable horizontal scrolling.... The task of filtering horizontal movements is up to the caller. Who is the 'caller' here and how could I configure the caller to drop horizontal movements.  |

| Why is `pam_nologin.so` denying access despite no existence of `/etc/nologin`? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:21 AM PDT After A lot of searching, I managed to debug a PAM configuration file, and it turns out the pam_nologin.so module was denying access to my system. Now, this is particularly strange since, according to the man page, it should only deny access to non-root users when the /etc/nologin file exists, and this file has never existed on my system (checked with both rm and ls), as I have verified multiple times throughout this experience. Is there any other condition that could be causing this?  |

| How do I set up null-sink and capture to route audio into camilladsp? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT I am trying to set up an assistant on my raspberry pi, but I need the audio to route through camilladsp before it's outputted to my DAC. I figured a pulseaudio null-sink and null-sink capture would be the best/easiest way to do this. (I tried also loopback previously but that was a lot more of a mess). I have set up the null and it is set to the default output, all I need to do now is configure camilladsp to accept the null-sink capture as a capture device, but it is asking for it to be of type: Alsa, File, or Stdin. Any idea how to sort this out, or have an alternative idea for routing the audio through camilladsp? Many thanks, Elliott  |

| How can I use the parallel command while getting parameters dynamically from a file? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 09:36 AM PDT Let's say I have a file listing the path of multiple files like the following: /home/user/file1.txt /home/user/file2.txt /home/user/file3.txt /home/user/file4.txt /home/user/file5.txt /home/user/file6.txt /home/user/file7.txt
Let's also say that I want to copy those files in parallel 3 by 3. I know that with the command parallel I can execute a specific command in parallel as the following: parallel bash -c "echo hello world" -- 1 2 3
However, this way of running parallel is hardcoded because even if I use a variable inside the quotes, it will only have a fixed parameter. I'd like to execute the parallel command getting parameters dynamically from a file. As an example, let's say I'd like to copy all files from my file running three parallel processes (something like cp "$file" /home/user/samplefolder/). How can I do it? Is there any parameter I can use with parallel to accomplish that and get parameters dynamically from a file?  |

| No longer able to mount NAS using CIFS Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:54 AM PDT I am following notes made previously on mounting my NAS on my Debian system: sudo mount -t cifs -o user=***,password=***,vers=1.0 //NAS_IP_ADDRESS/NAS_DIR /mnt/NAS
This is generating the below error: mount error(95): Operation not supported Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I remember when I had first mounted my NAS adding vers=1.0 was necessary for it to work. If I now change the version from 1 to 2 the NAS is mounted. sudo mount -t cifs -o user=***,password=***,vers=2.0 //NAS_IP_ADDRESS/NAS_DIR /mnt/NAS

Here are the details of the setup: Host: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena, Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4, 4.4.0-53-generic Guest: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster), 4.19.0-8-amd64 Virtualbox version: 5.1.38_Ubuntu Guest Editions version: 5.1.38 Guest Editions is installed in the guest, my user is part of the group vboxsf, in the gui of Virtualbox on the host, I selected a folder in the host home directory which I made called MintDebianSharedFolder and selected Auto-Mount, and gave the name to be seen by the guest MintDebianSharedFolder5. Now upon booting the guest (Debian 10): cardamom@ruthenium:~$ sudo ls -la /media/ insgesamt 14 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mär 24 12:41 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Mär 23 14:34 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mär 23 13:19 cdrom -> cdrom0 dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 2048 Mai 9 2018 cdrom0 drwxrwx--- 2 root vboxsf 4096 Mär 24 12:38 sf_MintDebianSharedFolder5 cardamom@ruthenium:~$ sudo ls -la /media/sf_MintDebianSharedFolder5/ insgesamt 8 drwxrwx--- 2 root vboxsf 4096 Mär 24 12:38 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mär 24 12:41 ..
There are in fact 2 files in the corresponding folder on the host - Why are they not showing up in the guest? I created the second one just a moment ago on the host, but it is just not visible in the guest.

| Getting Tightvnc Server Working on Debian 8 (with KDE) Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:01 AM PDT I have done much research and attempted fixes on this issue, mostly involving tweaking the xstartup file. I've tried alternative VNC clients (UltraVNC and TightVNC) from a Windows 7 computer, with the same results for each client. Basically, I get either a blank grey screen with only an arrow cursor, or a failure to connect at all. I also tried a different VNC server (VNC4server) but abandoned that because, although I could connect, I got an error every time on the client window. And Tightvnc seems more widely used and user-supported. I find that, almost regardless of what I put in the ~/.vnc/xstartup file (for example, even if it has just one line (startkde &) it will work if I specify "root" as the VNC user. But then I'm logged in as root and I need instead to follow standard *nix practice of being logged in as a non-root user. So, the issue does appear to relate to privileges. However, I check for correct ownership and executable flags on files after every time I edit them. I read somewhere that the latest Tightvnc server will not allow KDE desktop to be started if there is already a desktop session running on the host (user logged in), so I start the host machine without anyone logged in. I have configured Tightvnc server as a service. My current xstartup file follows, but like I said, I have already attempted many variants of these lines, commenting out nearly everything, from suggestions gathered on the internet. #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

But I much prefer KDE, and I wish to get that working if at all possible. [EDIT, 2014/03/14, 2216 UTC]: This is a follow-up to Paul H.'s suggestion, I'm putting it here because the mini-formatting of comments doesn't seem to allow blockquotes and images. Thank you, that got me further. After I give the "startkde &" command, the client window opens with a sensible-looking desktop that is starting to load and gets this far before closing (note the error message in top left):

| AWS CLI - not working in a crontab Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:20 AM PDT I can run the command aws --version in a script and in the cli. But if I put this command into a crontab it does not work. Crontab: 50 12 * * * aws --version > ~/yolo.swag
Error: /bin/sh: 1: aws: not found
The aws command is in a bash script. And I get the same error message when I run the script in cron. How can I get the script to run the command fine ?  |
| Shortcut to minimize all windows? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 10:21 AM PDT In Windows systems, I use the keyboard shortcut Start-D (show desktop) a lot. I'm using Linux Mint, and I wonder: Can I create a keyboard shortcut that will do the same? edit after the comment from Gert van den Berg - if you could explain how to make a short-cut equivalent to Start-M that well do. I think the desktop environment is KDE.  |
| Setting a name for a screen session Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:25 AM PDT Is there a way to give a particular name to a unix screen session? For instance, say I'm running the same program multiple times, each with different parameters and I want to tell which one is which.  |
