I don't know what openpht is.
georgia 2017-03-07 04:49:47
Have any of you looked into Vault 7? I want to know if I should be concerned.
jasonwc 2017-03-07 04:49:55
greycat it's just what i named my custom session
jasonwc 2017-03-07 04:50:05
openpht is a fork of Plex Home Theater
greycat 2017-03-07 04:50:51
Well, you can try it. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to figure out what the command is to start openpht correctly.

Hi everyone, 2 days ago i run into a issue where im not sure about how to bypass and fix it. at the weekend i've been creating my first uefi bootstick and successfully installed debian on a uefi laptop (dell lat e5550). my system is split on 4 devices which are usb32gb for /root ; usb16gb for / ; microSDcard32gb for /efiboot /var /usr ; hdd500gb for SWAP & /hfiles . since that laptop has no cd/dvd drive i had to install via usb. aft
georgia 2017-03-07 04:57:28
I think it's a development/security issue. It's good to be proactive before these exploits are... exploited. It might be more suited for debian off-topic though.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 04:57:38
the usb boot stick and the drivesnames has changed
ddrescue 2017-03-07 04:57:48
after a reboot i gets a initprompt
ddrescue 2017-03-07 04:59:12
the problem is that the kernel is not recognizing the microSDcard so the partitions cant be mounted
jasonwc 2017-03-07 04:59:31
greycat: I tried all these methods and none work.

Oh god, it's gdm.

Ugh bleh. Good luck.

god's display manager
ddrescue 2017-03-07 04:59:53
BUT at boot time the sdcard device gets noticed, because the EFI is actualy booting from the dev
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:00:08
YES jason
jasonwc 2017-03-07 05:01:57
greycat I am not attached to gdm, I can use something else
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:02:03
jason you are absolutely right
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:02:03
but i checked the kernel before on the same distro in a live enviroment
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:02:03
and the card has been successfully recognised
greycat 2017-03-07 05:02:03
So yeah, with gdm, you have to set up the .xsession file *AND* you have to click a stupid thing to get it to act like a normal display manager and read the .xsession file in the first place.
georgia 2017-03-07 05:02:03
do you have i3 installed?
georgia 2017-03-07 05:02:03
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager should work
greycat 2017-03-07 05:02:03
He just wants to change the DE for one specific user.
georgia 2017-03-07 05:02:03
and then startx
greycat 2017-03-07 05:02:03
And he is using gdm, not startx.
jasonwc 2017-03-07 05:02:11
greycat will lightdm work?
greycat 2017-03-07 05:02:25
lightdm should read .xsession by default without you having to click "be normal", yes.
georgia 2017-03-07 05:03:45
wdm can switch DEs as well, and "remember" last session.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:10:43
where can i change the /dev/"name" (sdx) so my boot enviroment is in line again ? i figured out that the install usb bootstick had sda and when its unplugged the next devices gets mounted as sda wich is a big problem because it messes up entire boot of the system ?!? :/
frostschutz 2017-03-07 05:11:50
ddrescue, you don't change the /dev/sdx name. it's first come first serve. don't rely on these names, use uuid/label instead
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:12:33
moin frostschutz, danke fuer die antwort, also sollte ich die device labels aendern ? habe den devices noch garkeine gegeben da ich davon ausging das dies bei linux ueberfluessig ist und sich nur windoze systeme daran orientieren ^^
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:13:23
das problem ist das die bootbezeichnung waehrend der installation festgelegt wurde (uefi) und wenn der kernel startet das alles hinfaellig zu sein scheint

eeeew
frostschutz 2017-03-07 05:17:00
ddrescue, Are you new to Linux? Basically any modern distro/install uses UUID for everything by default, there's no reason for you to be concerned about device names. Everything should work regardless which "drive letter" your drives end up with
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:18:10
there are 0000 0010 kinds of people , those who can read binary and those who cannot
greycat 2017-03-07 05:18:10
Maybe he's *old* to Linux, and is thinking of the way things used to be back in the 1990s.
tocix 2017-03-07 05:18:10
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand hexadecimal, and F the rest.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:18:10
aaalright , no frostschutz im not new , but i must say even debian has changed a lot in the past ;) im privately on bsd home ^^
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:18:12
so what could be my issue
greycat 2017-03-07 05:18:35
Your issue is that you think /dev/sdXn is a valid way to refer to a disk in an fstab file.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:18:37
if it is not the naming of the devices wich my system think it is
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:19:08
so having a look into fstab cant be wrong you say ?
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:19:34
`hey grey , you got manners XD
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:19:41
dont blame me
frostschutz 2017-03-07 05:19:59
what IS your issue? what's the error message? what are you doing, which commands are you using, what's not working?
frostschutz 2017-03-07 05:22:28
you didn't explain that at all. a device being detected as sda (after original sda was unplugged) doesn't cause any problems by itself. That's completely normal...
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:24:18
at fristboot im hanging in the initramfs console the error msg is mmc0 unknown controller version (3) i801_smbus :00:1f.3: failed to enable smbus dev (-16)

does anyone have an idea as to why my DNS would stop working around every 5 hours while using openvpn in a network namespace?
greycat 2017-03-07 05:26:39
Did you try asking #openvpn yet?
aleph-TA 2017-03-07 05:28:24
not yet, i was thinking it's more of a linux issue. i'll try that though

thanks for the tip
ddrescue 2017-03-07 05:30:26
any sugguestions ?
petn-randall 2017-03-07 05:30:39

Hello, I have an issue with my laptop. The mouse keeps moving. How can I "in terminal" see who is moving the mouse: Choice are: Touch screen, touch pad, logitec usb/wireless mouse. ? Would anybody know how I can watch the mouse input source? or which program would that be?
jasonwc 2017-03-07 05:36:57
greycat: For now I set Cinammon to autostart OpenPHT which works fine. However, it would be nice to have OpenPHT setup to start in its own session - less memory usage and nothing running in the background
jasonwc 2017-03-07 05:36:57
works with gdm3 but I have to manually login to set the correct session type
Delf 2017-03-07 05:54:43
Reading the manuals but I don't understand much. Is there a way to use pam to limit the number of GDM sessions certain user can has?
armin 2017-03-07 05:55:54
is there a commandline ipv6 calculator available in debian?
jhutchins 2017-03-07 06:00:08
Delf: The Linux System Administrator's Guide is an excellent general resource: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html
jhutchins 2017-03-07 06:00:08
Delf: Not sure it will help, but possible.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 06:00:11
lszyba1 , check the ssh if theres a ctive session, other way would be to write a c prog that filters you the stdout of the device you want and list it into a > any.txt
Delf 2017-03-07 06:00:43
jhutchins: Not sure if the link is actually broken or if it's just me. "www.tldp.org's server DNS address could not be found."
ddrescue 2017-03-07 06:01:14
but you will propably get assembler code or binary , can be helpful but i doubt you want that

lszyba1: look at xinput and xev. They both allow reading lots of display events from the root window.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 06:02:28
but does it list i/o ?
jhutchins 2017-03-07 06:03:01
Delf: gdm.conf - Max Sessions, but it's not per-user.
ddrescue 2017-03-07 06:03:07
and isnt it a x service so x has to run for xinput to work ?

jhutchins: Are you using a cache proxy? :P
jhutchins 2017-03-07 06:06:39

that won't work, use the hosts file workaround

Or you can get google's cached copy.

jhutchins 2017-03-07 06:20:19
missmbob: More oriented toward a thin-client system.
jhutchins 2017-03-07 06:21:23
/etc/security/limits.conf will limit by group or user.

I needs to limit the number of gdm sessions for specific users only. Running multi-seat setup and when the same user logs in two seats simultaneously, things become strange

I'm looking for a very simple thing:
