Debian User Forums

Update This is the last "beta" package http://www.francocorbelli.it/zpaqfranz/debian/debian-package-test_2.7z It's starting to look like something vaguely working, apart from the nasty hardening warning that I really don't know how to get rid of Current rules is #!/usr/bin/make -f export D...

I made a small virtual machine to make the error repeatable (at least I hope so) It is a "rough" Deban 11 (on zfs), DHCP-NAT .vmdk, italian keyboard (yes... dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration to change, I forgot to revert to US) user root with password password user franco with passw...

Did you try export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=+bindnow Tried now, sadly same result :cry: I had thought it was an order problem, i.e., "overwriting" the include (something is written in the documentation), but I also tried this way, no result I am sure that the rules file is being ...

test_1.7z I'm trying to prepare a small package for an archiving software, but I encounter a warning message that I would like to suppress I: zpaqfranz: hardening-no-bindnow usr/bin/zpaqfranz N: I: hardening-no-bindnow N: N: This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" lin...

So I don't know the "Debian community" [..] :-( I asked here...because I don't know of a Debian developer forum. Do you know one? It's not a forum, but you can search here: Debian - Development lists Thanks, I'll try to write on debian-mentors@lists.debian.org, I've run out of ideas (the ...

@fcorbelli I actually don't agree with @cds60601 about this. So far you seem genuine enough. But again, the forum can't really help with your quest. I've hardly ever used Debian until relatively good zfs support was introduced [I deal with storage, mostly, therefore Solaris / FreeBSD] So I don't kn...

You seem incredibly rude to me for no reason, again If you don't have intelligent suggestions to make, I'm sure you'll find another place to enjoy yourself If me pointing out the obvious is rude, then I'll wear that badge. Many have tried to inform you what you must do however, you feel that's not ...

We'll see the outcome

You are missing one very fundamental aspect of gaining a sponsor/Mentor, and that is Time. You MUST be willing to wait for a sponsor/Mentor. This could take a few hours or many months. It all depends on the time available that potential mentors have. If you are impatient and not willing to follow t...

Already done (1 year ago)

Okay, being on vacation I "exhume" the situation. Considering that the zpaq maintainer keeps not responding at all (he surely have more important things to take care of) does anyone happen to know any active Debian developers in the archiving area? Maybe I can try a direct contact. On the ...

Some more details: we want to update a backup of a folder (actually a dataset, tank/d) frequently. For example, every hour. The "folder" is not very big, ~130.000 files for ~70GB (a bunch of .DOC, XLS, PDF etc) Rsync to a local folder (~22 s) http://www.francocorbelli.it/zpaqfranz/rsync_ba...

I'm preparing a software (still in testing phase) for zfs dataset backup. Since I use debian as my recovery zfs platform (not in production) I ask if any user using zfs would be kind enough to try using it on Debian. It is basically an attempt to "freeze" zfs incremental snapshots into a s...

Here's a link that you can review (assuming you have not). Not sure how relevant/dated (however, it appears to have been modded a few months back) it is but should be a "rule of thumb": https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi Today I am using a Netgear A6100-100PES Micro (Realtek RTL8811AU) A bit of...

So far this is just about what I need...

You misunderstand too Wifi adapters can be (should be) very reliable Not the radio part, but the hardware and the software Sometimes the very same HW runs at 2 MB/s vs 80 MB/s on Windows, because the driver is too..rudimental "Adapter X will work on Debian Y without issues at full rated speed i...

Well, I do not agree I can suggest you all kinds of raid controller, network cards, motherboards,even drives that "works" Yes, in close to 100% they will works On wifi (and Linux) it seems much more "who knows" On FreeBSD just "almost nothing works fine" This is my very...

For the first time I'm approaching the Debian client world, and in particular to wifi network cards I have read numerous suggestions, more or less dated, regarding the best choice for USB adapters and for internal (laptop) "minicards" Obviously the question is both the use of 5GHz, and the...

For a multiplatform project this will not work On some platforms simply make does not exists at all On others use a very different syntax A lot of effort was needed to make a sort of "docker" (with ") No patches, no diffs, no trouble for updating and upgrading No dependencies, no conf...
