In https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6472 I have described the situation of my 2 monitors

My Monitor connected to the Nvidia card does not always power off. Sometimes It remains on (green LED and backlight on , sometimes it turns off. (LED yellow)
I have not found a logic behind these behaviors. How can I debug further apart from Xorg.0.log ?

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "BlankTime"   "2"
    Option "StandbyTime" "3"
    Option "SuspendTime" "5"

    Identifier "nvidia-primary"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"
    Option "HardDPMS" "true"
EndSection

cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom-xrandr-setting.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0 && xrandr --auto
sleep 3

xrandr --output DP-0 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-2 --off --output DP-3 --off --output DP-4 --off --output DP-5 --off --output DP-6 --off --output DP-7 --mode 1440x900 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal --output HDMI-1-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DP-1-1 --off --output HDMI-1-2 --off --output DP-1-2 --off --output HDMI-1-3 --off

when logging out, both monitors go into power standby, LED is yellow
Nvidia Quadro P2000 connected Monitor is first in standby.

It looks like some user application is keeping NVidia from entering standby. On the net there are electron apps mentioned from doing things. I have slack and signal sometimes running . leftovers or settings goofed from these programs ? also chromium has a similar mention.

With above programs not used after login , both monitors go in standby after 3 minutes.

I still run my Fairphone 2, which is out of software support since 2 years now. Is there a chance to adopt movuan for the FP2 ?

Probably your linux image 6.1.76 is set on "hold".

dpkg --status linux-image-6.1.76-1

check for third line Status : MUST NOT contain hold

apt-mark unhold linux-image-6.1.76-1

To unhold all held packages, use this command:

apt-mark unhold $(apt-mark showhold)

Then try a new update

Did that but result remains the same.
This stems from debian package hardening-runtime
which I installed some time ago. see there (if installed)

cat /usr/share/doc/hardening-runtime/README.Debian

cat /etc/default/grub.d/01_hardening.cfg 
# Linux command line options recommended by the KSPP

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT kaslr pti=on slab_nomerge page_poison=1 slub_debug=FPZ nosmt"

# Other interesting options are:
# - intel_iommu=on (sometimes intel_iommu=on,igfx_off) for enabing I/OMMU

# When done editing the file, rebuild grub configuration with: update-grub

now must find out why kernel refuses its parameter

everything behind

quiet

is not in the grub settings.
Kernel complains because kaslr is unknown to it.

where do these settings come from and what I have to test and get rid off false entries?

It is not possible to set the shell for a particular task in /etc/cron.hourly, etc/cron.daily, etc/cron.weekly and /etc/cron.monthly.
Setting shell for all jobs is in /etc/default/cron.
I moved the job into the crontab (crontab -e) of root.
Now we go to the next problem.

Hi
I failed to explain that I have a protocol function in the script which writes to /var/log/somejob/somejob.log, if executed as root.
I verified now that the script starts indeed as a dash script instead of starting as bash. Some command inside requires a bashism and then the script fails.
Works as root !
I correct now the headline as well.

bai4Iej2need · Installation

I have tested now several versions
Version 1

head central_sync
#!/bin/bash
# synchronise Unlimited number of directories on different hosts
...

central_sync is a hardlink to /usr/local/bin/central_sync.bash

version 2

cat central_sync2
#!/bin/sh
set
/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/central_sync.bash

exit 0

version 3

cat central_sync3
#!/bin/sh
set
/bin/bash -x /usr/local/bin/central_sync.bash

exit 0

version 4

cat central_sync4
#!/bin/sh
set
/bin/bash --posix /usr/local/bin/central_sync.bash

exit 0

They all produce in the protocol log:

...
set 
...
SHELL=/bin/sh

Consequently the program fails, which runs when called in the console/terminal
Parameter expansion fails in the rsync command

was still not able to find the resetting of the search bar.
not in about:preferences / search
nor in about:config I find the setting for a visible search bar

bai4Iej2need · Desktop and Multimedia

Hi , they keep playing around with things, nobody needs to change. Now I have a grey urlbar and search bar,
which change color when the mouse hovers over it.
What a waste, because now I have to search the bars with the eyes, before I can target them with the mouse.

This Guy, who did it, has no knowledge about workplace ergonomics and MMI design.

Somewhere else I found a huge css script about changing a simple parameter.
Does anyone have a better solution, maybe a parameter for the color in the about:config ?

Searched but was not successful.

I use Mate on daedalus.
Does anyone have a better solution, maybe another browser where they don't fiddle with such ?

Meanwhile I kicked version 128 out and keep version 115

bai4Iej2need · Desktop and Multimedia

When now testing the case, I noted, that the wrong behavior has disappeared.
It was limited to the "recent files" in the application menu of mate.
I did install some mate-menues-extras Items.
Probably it fixed the case. Possibly after a restart or a logout-login sequence.

the oneliner

user@host ~ % sleep 60 ; echo "\a"  &

should do, whatever you need
60 is time in seconds so put 3600 for an hour

with the & you can close the terminal

Thanks for answering.
When opening with atril , the file opens and displays properly. This is not the problem.

file 240703_Importstrategie-2.pdf
240703_Importstrategie-2.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7, 38 pages

The problem is in the calling structure of the mate menu tree, where a flawed command reference is stored somewhere.
See the 'top' listing.
mate-panel invokes vim over a terminal instead of invoking atril.

Where does mate panel store its preferences?

About Mate

about Atril
Atril is a simple multi-page document viewer. 1.26.0

When I download or extract a pdf from a mail, it shows up in "latest documents". Then I click on It , and a terminal with vi opens it.

%PDF-1.7^M and so on.

System /Personal/ Preferred Applications /Büro (office) states atril for Documents . whatever documents means .

In devuan, with eudev you get the old names....

@fsmithred
Thanks for the good explanation.

a)
How can I find out, what the interfaces will actually be called without modifying the _cmdline_?
b)
and then modify the relevant files (sed ... s/eth0/enpxxx/ somefile)
c)
If I could give it a try modifying / restarting without loosing connection to my remotes without screen?

I worked on such an X installation back in 1987,88. Simple graphics, small network traffic. , low res pixel-centric graphics with no rendering necessary.
Drawing electrical schematics.

What do i miss ?

about one week of work , including the learning curve.

I did that once under S.u.S.E. (<=7.3, < Y2003) . It included compiling a stripped partly non modular kernel for the clients, which had the network card driver compiled in. Once that works, it can pull other modules from the server. All what was not needed, was not compiled to obtain the smallest kernel.
And the distributed X11 server / xclient architecture is interesting .
Nice if you have many many many clients , no distributed maintenance.
I dont know, how this is today with wayland. see here :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_( … land_and_X
Lots of rendering today, lots of network traffic today, if distributed and wrong distribution of graphic load..
Power up the client :
PXE
DHCP,
TFTP,
NFS,
(DNS) and only then LTSP ,
and then X11 client server.
And then login on the Thin client

Just continuing to shout "everyone needs to get on a bike"

Didi anyone say that?
Just for me: I did 30000km in 6 years with my car, 5000 km / year (3000miles) and most of the time it is standing around for a week or so. A waste of resources.
I have 6 options : own car, train, bus, bicycle and walking and an electric rental car here in the village.
No car is MY economic solution.
I choose to live here because of the train station and not in the next village w/o train station.
Why should I keep a car (fuel or electric)?

Those with a huge toolbox and a selection of spare parts are a different task. They might have an electric workshop truck - on wheels .

Electric cars come with high capital cost and it is mandatory , that they roll all the time. Probably rental is the solution .
The old school "living far from dense population" becomes more and more uneconomic, when cheap fuel disappears.
And transport without modal change is also a thing of the past, when transport chains can be organized by internet.
