How common is it to have problems with space vs. tab whitespace in config files these days?
jolt 2017-01-26 10:57:00
jhutchins_wk: depends on the config, with yaml it's very common
tomcres 2017-01-26 10:57:08
I think with YAML it's very common
jolt 2017-01-26 10:57:19
tomcres: ^5
tomcres 2017-01-26 10:57:24
lol yes :-)

How to move the arrow with keyboard?
jhutchins_wk 2017-01-26 11:00:55
MarkL: Application dependent, not fully supported.
jhutchins_wk 2017-01-26 11:01:16
MarkL: There used to be a virtual mouse driver for Xorg, haven't seen it in ages.

Where can I find documentation on /usr/share/pam-configs/ syntax? The directory itself comes from libpam-runtime but that only includes manpages for pam.d.5 and pam.7.

are you guys aware of any reasons why a cron job wouldn't run?
nkuttler 2017-01-26 11:07:29
,checkbackport python3.5
judd 2017-01-26 11:07:30
Backporting package python3.5 in sid→jessie/amd64: unsatisfiable build dependencies: Build-Depends: gcc (>= 4:6.3).
nkuttler 2017-01-26 11:07:46
well crap, the testing src segfaults when building..
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:07:46
I see in /var/mail/ that the job runs
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:07:54
but not at the interval expected
nkuttler 2017-01-26 11:08:11
DammitJim: what's the actual crontab line?
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:08:28
thank you, hold on
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:08:37
*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/lst-var-data-copy.py
nkuttler 2017-01-26 11:08:37
DammitJim: and the output of date, and when you expect the job to run
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:08:50
now, I do have 3 more jobs with the same "interval" set
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:09:27
I expect the job to run every 10 minutes; however, in /var/mail/ I see a record for like: 14:20, then 14:30, but then skips to 14:50
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:09:38
is cron multi-threaded?
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:09:46
I know nothing, not sure why I asked that
greycat 2017-01-26 11:09:58
Maybe there was no output for the 14:40 run.
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:10:18
that's an interesting point
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:10:25
if there is no output, then the job doesn't log?
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:10:35
I have it set up where it sends that email
greycat 2017-01-26 11:10:37
It doesn't EMAIL unless there is output. LOGGING is totally separate.
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:10:38
let me check the other log
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:12:01
thanks greycat for clarifying that
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:12:09
dammit, then that means I have some bug in my code
greycat 2017-01-26 11:14:58
If you want to ensure that you get an email every time the job runs, make sure you write a line to stdout or stderr at the very beginning of the job.
greycat 2017-01-26 11:15:25
Or even in the crontab line itself before the job is even executed.
DammitJim 2017-01-26 11:15:54
yes, sir
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:21:17
what is the most automatic way to reinstall grub and let it detect new partitions with OS?
mtn 2017-01-26 11:23:22
wondiws: sudo update-grub?
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:23:39
mtn, thanks
mtn 2017-01-26 11:23:42
wondiws: or, su first, the update-grub
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:23:58
mtn, yeah yeah, that I know :P
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:24:01
thanks, this was all
towo` 2017-01-26 11:24:07
update-gub does not reinstall grub
zykotick9 2017-01-26 11:24:11
wondiws: depending on your setup, you might need to (re)install grub first...
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:24:57
but this was it already, I first installed debian, then Windows 8, I already restored GRUB with the debian setup ISO on USB stick, in the recovery mode or whatever it's called
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:25:05
now update-grub adds the Windows 8 to the list
tomcres 2017-01-26 11:25:17
grub-install /dev/foo reinstalls grub; update-grub updates the grub.cfg file

does anyone have FDE on a ssd? does it really hurt performance compared to unencrypted?
bazhang 2017-01-26 11:35:39
newbie22, cross posted how many channels
zykotick9 2017-01-26 11:37:35
zuiss1: which is your priority: performance or security? (personally i don't notice a difference between fde and non-fde myself... ymmv)
Skaag 2017-01-26 11:37:37

zuiss1 2017-01-26 11:39:11
zykotick9: i don't know. i was just wondering if it's true or not
zuiss1 2017-01-26 11:39:41
zykotick9: you're installed on a ssd with fde?
zykotick9 2017-01-26 11:40:55
zuiss1: i am. ssd+fde...
zuiss1 2017-01-26 11:41:09
ok as long as performance is still good
wondiws 2017-01-26 11:41:57
zykotick9, ssd + floppy drive?
