Ukoliko želite imati grafičke animacije prilikom podizanja vašeg operativnog sutava svakako probajte program plymouth. Jednostavan za instalaciju, podešavanje itd.. više o svemu pogledajte na web adresi http://wiki.debian.org/plymouth

Wireshark treba root?

Ivan — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 09:48:21 +0000

Poslje uspješne instalacije wiresharka, ne možete pristupti mrežnim uređajima kao obićni korisnik. Naravno ovo se može vrlo jednostavno popraviti. Ideja je napraviti grupu korisnika koja može pristupati programu, a izvedba bi izgledala ovako (ukratko):

su
apt-get install libcap2-bin
groupadd wireshark
usermod -a -G wireshark korisnicko_ime
chgrup wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap

Pidgin & sipe plugin

Ivan — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:32:53 +0000

Ako koristite plugin pidgin-sipe (inčica 1.11.2-1.1) sigurno ste se sreli sa bug-om (#642199) i ako ne želite raditi downgrade napravite jednostavnu bash skriptu koja zaobilazi navedeni bug:

#!/bin/bash
export NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0
pidgin

Zaboravili ste root lozinku?

Ivan — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:21:56 +0000

Ako ste nekim slučajem zaboravili root lozinku, možete vrlo jednostavno postaviti novu lozinku. Sve što trebate restartati računalo i kad se pojavi grub izbornik pritisnite tipku “e” i dodajte parametar u kernel:

init=/bin/bash

, zatim pritisnite ctrl+x, i kad se pojavi komandna linija remontajte / sa:

mount -n -o remount,rw /

i postavite novu lozinku sa naredbom passwd.

Podjelite disk javno unutar vaše mrežne okoline (samba)

Ivan — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:02:56 +0000

Uredite datoteku /etc/samba/smb.conf (zamjenite korisnicko_ime sa nekim stvarnim korisnikom):

[global]
netbios name = debian
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Public File Server
security = share
guest account = korisnicko_ime

[public]
comment = Public Folder
path = /home/korisnicko_ime/Public
public = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force user = korisnicko_ime
force group = korisnicko_ime
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = korisnicko_ime
browsable = yes

Restartajte sambu /etc/init.d/samba restart i možete pristupiti svome poslužitelju bez ograničenja

Debian ahead on web servers
—————————

According to a recent W3Techs survey [1], Debian has just surpassed CentOS to
become the most popular GNU/Linux distribution on web servers. The survey is
based on the analysis of the top million web sites according to Alexa, in order
to select a representative sample of established sites, and focused only on the
technologies used for web sites (and not individual web pages or desktop
installations). In fact, at the beginning of 2012, Debian was used by 29.4% of
all Linux-based sites (and by 9.7% of all web sites), while CentOS was used by
29.1% of all Linux-based sites (and by 9.5% of all web sites). Debian ”is also
the fastest growing operating system at the moment: every day 54 of the top 1
million sites switch to Debian” , said Matthias Gelbmann in the article. With
regard to the geographical distribution of web sites using Debian, the most are
in Europe (with 39.7% of all sites in Germany, 36.1% in Poland, 33.6% in France
and 26.4% in Russia).

1 : http://w3techs.com/blog/entry/debian_is_now_the_most_popular_linux_distribution_on_web_servers

Dummy web server in Debian?
—————————

Thomas Goirand recently proposed to relax or even remove some dependencies [2]
of web applications on a web server package. This would help users wanting to
install such web applications in chroots, while the web server is installed
only outside the chroot. During the following discussion, several solutions
were proposed, such as providing a dummy web server package in Debian. It was
pointed out that such dummy packages are actually very easy to create with the
equivs [3] package, which deserves to be better known.

2 : http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/01/msg00148.html
3 : http://packages.debian.org/equivs

Aptitude strikes back
———————

Christian Perrier blogged about the recent revival of the aptitude package
manager [4]. As the main maintainer had less time to dedicate to it, the number
of bugs against aptitude was continually growing and reached more than 800. But
last November, Daniel Harwig and Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo started working
on it, triaging bugs and preparing a possible new version. If you want to help
them, join the aptitude-devel [5] mailing list on Alioth.

5 : http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel

About donations to Debian
————————-

Stefano Zacchiroli blogged about how donations to Debian are used by the
project [6]. First of all, Stefano explained how money is used in the Debian
Project: to buy hardware and hardware-related services for Debian
infrastructure, to sponsor contributor sprints, or to support travel expenses
in order to allow Debian Developers to represent Debian at conferences and
meetings. Then, Stefano noted that almost all donations to Debian come from
private citizens and not from big corporate sponsors: corporates mostly sponsor
DebConf (the Debian annual conference). At the end, Stefano pointed out that
it’s possible to check how Debian spends donated money: by reading the minutes
of SPI monthly meetings [7] or the list of sprints [8], visiting the DPL wiki
page [9] and consulting the DebConf reports [10]. Stefano also added that over
the next month he will be working to further improve the transparency of
Debian’s budget.

6 : http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2012/01/debian_donations-fu/
7 : http://www.spi-inc.org/meetings/minutes/
8 : http://wiki.debian.org/Sprints
9 : http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL
10 : http://media.debconf.org/

On the subject of Debian’s usage of money, Yves-Alexis Perez proposed to
advocate hardware sponsoring [11]. Since asking for money for oneself is not
always the first reflex, he proposed to turn the offer the other way around: if
you believe that a Debian Developer could use some money for hardware purposes,
you should raise your voice and propose it yourself, in case the developer was
too shy to ask, for example.

Armhf status in Debian
———————-

Steve McIntyre blogged about the status of the armhf port in Debian [12]. Since
mid-2011, he has been working on armhf as a new architecture in ”debian-ports”
; then in December it was imported into the main Debian archive. The current
state of auto-building can be viewed at thearmhf buildd status page [13].

IGMP denial of service in Linux
——————————-

Ben Hutchings wrote an interesting report on a security issue in Linux [14]
found by himself while working on bug #654876 [15]. As his laptop running Linux
3.0 or 3.1 crashed repeatedly, Simon McVittie — the bug submitter —
thought it could be a driver bug. But, analysing the log of the crash, Ben
noted that ”a packet received through the wireless interface was being
processed by IGMP, which then divided by zero.” IGMP packets are used to
support multicast routers: as Ben explained, “every multicast address
corresponds to a dynamic set of hosts, called a multicast group” . In order to
know which hosts belong to which groups, the router sends packets and the
computer replies at intervals. There are three different versions of the IGMP
protocol used to define the Maximum Response Time (MRT) of the computer. Ben
found that the crash was caused by a division by 0 of packets with an MRT of 0.
The patch is included in Linux 3.0.17, 3.1.9, 3.2.1, and the Debian packaged
version 3.1.8-2. Well done, Ben!

Interviews
———-

There has been one
“People behind Debian” interview: withSteve McIntyre [16] (Debian CD
maintainer and former Debian Project Leader).

16 : http://raphaelhertzog.com/2012/01/13/people-behind-debian-steve-mcintyre-debian-cd-maintainer-former-debian-project-leader/

Other news
———-

Gerfried Fuchs wrote an interesting article about a Release Critical
bug-squashing effort for Stable [17]. Stable RC bugs are often not noted, as
people usually concentrate on Unstable RC bugs, but – as Gerfried noted – ”it
is one of our supported releases and thus should receive quite some attention,
at least by the corresponding package maintainers themself.”

17 : http://rhonda.deb.at/blog/2012/01/19

Enrico Zini announced that the Debtags web site also works for derivative
distributions [18]: the site now shows packages from Ubuntu too, and can be
extended to all Debian derivatives.

18 : http://www.enricozini.org/2012/debian/debtags-for-derivatives/

Release-Critical bug statistics for the upcoming release
——————————————————–

According to the Bugs Search interface of the Ultimate Debian Database
[32], the upcoming release,
Debian 7.0 ”Wheezy” , is currently affected by 736 Release-Critical
bugs. Ignoring bugs which are easily solved or on the way to being solved,
roughly speaking, about 495 Release-Critical bugs remain to be solved for the
release to happen.

32 : http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi

There are also more detailed statistics [33] as well as some hints on
how to interpret [34] these numbers.

Status of Debian Installer localisation
—————————————

In his last report on Debian Installer localisation [35], Christian Perrier
noted that twenty-two languages are currently up to date for D-I’s core files;
ten (Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Kazakh, Dutch, Portuguese,
Russian and Slovak) are 100% complete for the moment.

Debian Edu/Skolelinux 6.0.3 beta2 released
——————————————

Petter Reinholdtsen announced the release of Debian Edu Squeeze 6.0.3
beta2 [1]: download and installation instructions [2] are available on
the wiki, and in particular a useful [3] “Getting Started” chapter in
which you can find explanations of how to log in for the first time.
Feedback and installation reports can be sent to the Debian Edu mailing
list [4].

Debian Edu is a project aiming to make a Debian Pure Blend for
educational purposes, which can be used in schools and other educational
institutions. The Debian Edu project develops and maintains Skolelinux
[5], a complete and free “out of the box” software solution for schools.
For more information about Debian Edu, please visit therelated wiki page
[6].

Bits from the DPL
—————–

Stefano Zacchiroli sent some bits from the DPL [7] in which he reported
about the work done by Martin Michlmayr as Auditor, in order to
reconstruct Debian’s expenses and budgets. Stefano also sent a call for
help for Wheezy artwork organisation, and announced that Gunnar Wolf has
volunteered to monitor the discussion regarding the Creative Commons
process for revision 4.0 on behalf of Debian.

Forthcoming new release of the X server
—————————————

Cyril Brulebois blogged about the forthcoming X server release 1.12 [8]:
one major change is the addition of XI2.2 patches, which are related to
multitouch support. Another significant change is the addition of
support for Intel’s Sandy Bridge New Acceleration in the Debian
packages.

8 : http://blog.mraw.org/2012/01/01/XServer_1.12RC1/

Scientific article on Debian in PNAS
————————————

Michael Hanke noted [9] that the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Science (“PNAS”) of the United States of America has apaper on the
evolution of software in Debian [10].

New Debian Infographic
———————-

Claudio Filho has published a beautiful infographic about Debian [12].
The main motivation was, as Claudio said [13], “to “draw” for final
users how Debian can be good for them”. Similar efforts have been made
by StÃ©phane Blondon [14] and Chris Lamb [15], who created the Debian
Timeline website [16] and the related Debian package [17].

New interface for Debtags website
———————————

Enrico Zini announced a new interface for the Debtags website [18].
Debtags is a project to classify Debian packages by adding tags to them:
“Debtags attaches categories (we call them tags) to packages, creating a
new set of useful structured metadata that can be used to implement more
advanced ways of presenting, searching, maintaining and navigating the
package archive”, Enrico saidwhile presenting the project in 2005 [19].
Using the new interface, it is possible to search packages [20], take a
look at statistics about Debtags [21] and, obviously, help with the
tagging effort [22]. For more information about Debtags, you can visit
the related wiki page [23].

apt-get purge defoma
——————–

Paul Wise reported that the transition from defoma to fontconfig is
finally complete [24]. Defoma is the Debian-specific font manager, long
unmaintained, while the replacement (fontconfig) is cross-distribution
and also has wide support from upstreams. In the past three years the
Debian Fonts Task Force [25] has worked a lot in order to gain this
result, thanks especially to the work of Christian Perrier and Paul
Wise. Please note that the transition is not completely smooth: ”Xorg
does not yet support fontconfig so for now programs relying on
server-side fonts will only be able to use thexfonts- packages shipping
their fonts in the directories known by the X server” and in addition
“there are some issues [26] with Ghostscript and CJK”, Paul said.

Further interviews
——————

Since the last issue of the Debian Project News, two new issues of the
[27] “This week in Debian” podcast have been published: with Jonathan
Nadeau [28], about the Northeast GNU/Linux Fest; and with Raphael
Hertzog [29], about the Debian handbook.

There has also been a “People behind Debian” interview withi Ben Hutchings
[30], member of the kernel team.

30 : http://raphaelhertzog.com/2011/12/13/people-behind-debian-ben-hutchings-member-of-the-kernel-team/

The web team is pleased to announce that all languages have finished
their migration to UTF-8 [38], so the Debian website [39] is now
available for everyone in UTF-8, thanks to all the translators who
worked on this issue.

Asheesh Laroia wrote an interesting article about short key IDs with
OpenPGP and GNU Privacy Guard [40], arguing that using them is
fundamentally insecure as it’s easy to generate collisions for short key
IDs.

The Debian Project was mentioned in an article by Bruce Byfield on
Datamation titled [41] “2011: The Year of Linux Disappointments” .
According to the author, in fact, while various Open Source projects saw
a decline in 2011, the Debian project “spent much of 2011 reinventing
itself. In the past few twelve months, it has — among other things –
tried to encourage cooperation among its derivatives, revamped its new
member process, and experimented with IRC training sessions.”

Martin Zobel-Helas announced that he has applied the main theme of
Debian website to db.debian.org, the internal LDAP directory of Debian
Developers [42]. In the previous days, thanks to Cristoph Berg, the
Debian Quality Assurance website [43] had also switched to the main
theme.

Release-critical bugs statistics for the upcoming release
———————————————————

According to the Bugs Search interface of the Ultimate Debian Database
[56], the upcoming release, Debian 7.0 “Wheezy”, is currently affected
by 797 release-critical bugs. Ignoring bugs which are easily solved or
on the way to being solved, roughly speaking, about 532 release-critical
bugs remain to be solved for the release to happen.

56 : http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi

There are also more detailed statistics [57] as well as some hints on
how to interpret [58] these numbers.

Status of Debian Installer localisation
—————————————

In his last report on Debian Installer localisation [59], Christian
Perrier noted that eighteen languages are currently up to date for D-I’s
core files; ten (Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Kazakh, Dutch,
Portuguese, Russian and Slovak) are 100% complete for the moment.

Christian informed us previously [60] that “A very important and
critical fix to partman-zfs broke a string in sublevel 4.” That explains
why the results are lower than thelast time [61] we relayed the
translation status, but translators are quickly working to make the
Debian Installer completely available in many languages.
