I occasionally accidentally hit 'm' while listening to a file in non-X with mplayer. mplayer reports 'mute: enabled' and mutes the sound, but when I hit 'm' again mplayer reports 'mute: disabled' but doesn't restore the sound. Changing volume doesn't help. No control in alsamixer or amixer restores sound. I have to use pactl set-sink-mute.

Why doesn't mplayer unmute?

Hi!

I am afraid I may be asking a pretty dumb question, but unfortunately I can't avoid it, as I need a persistent Live Slackware USB. I have made a couple in the past but I never cared whether they were persistent or not, before.

Will the following command produce a persistent USB?

Code: # ./iso2usb.sh -i ~/download/slackware64-live-daw-current.iso -o /dev/sdX And if so how does one produce a non persistent one? (this one is just a matter of curiosity).

Linux software says A Photo Tool (Libre) is installed but I am unable to locate it. It also says Source Snap Store which I am unfamiliar with. I would appreciate any help with this because I would like to use the program.

I've cleaned my Debian installation as much as possible. I've removed the task-gnome-desktop along with everything I don't want, just whatever the core system + gnome-core and a few utilities. All of my regularly used stuff is now via Flatpak. Gotta move sometime. I like the idea that I get the newest versions + the stability of the Debian base underneath.

Guys, when I try to use the epson-printer-utility application I get the message that it couldn't find the printer.
Where is the configuration file of this application so that I can inform the IP of the Printer on the network?

If I use the command in the console as a regular user it finds the printer, only it is in English.

Hello to everyone.

I'm trying to customize the Debian 11 iso image with cubic. The most important parameter that I should set up within cubic is the following :

Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=on" I'm working on a method to add any parameter I may need now and in the future to kernel and maybe I found it,thanks to the help of some good reddit users that put me on the right path. The method is called "Automate the installation of Debian with Preseed". Basically I should create a preseed.cfg file that I should add inside the Debian ISO image so that the installer will read inside of it and it will automate some settings during the installation. At the moment this is the preseed.cfg file that I'm trying to use :


Code: d-i debian-installer/add-kernel-opts string intel_iommu=on
d-i passwd/root-password password marietto
My doubt was : how and where to place the preseed.cfg file ? I've found part of the solution by watching this video tutorial :


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdA7UX5VJjc


and this github :


https://github.com/Nidouille/Debian-...d-Installation


He says to do something like this :

1. Ajout du fichier de pr� configuration dans initrd

Code: echo preseed.cfg | cpio -H newc -o -A -F isofiles/install.amd/initrd gzip isofiles/install.amd/initrd I tried,but I've got an error :

Code: gunzip initrd.gz
echo preseed.cfg | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd gzip debian-11-unattended/d-i/initrd
cpio: Too many arguments you can see the attached picture if you want understand better.

I have the following:
Code: <style> 
div.booga input[type="text"] { font-family: 'Courier New'; color: blue }
</style>

:
:

<div class=booga style="position: absolute; top: 190px; left: 180px">   
    <input type="text" name="FMname" readonly width: 35em; border: 1px solid blue;" value="John M."/>
</div> The text "John M." neither shows with Courier New, nor in blue. What am I doing wrong?

Hello.

I did the update "seamonkey-2.53.14-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz" and there is a problem.
After closing the browser, the "seamonkey" process remains in the background.
The seamonkey-2.53.13-x86_64-_slack15.0.txz version does not have this problem.

I have a raspberry pi server with sendmail installed and I have /root/.bashrc configured to automatically send an email when anyone logs in.
/root/.bashrc contains this line:
echo 'ALERT - Root Shell <server-hostname> on:' `date` `who` | sendmail -s "Alert: Root Access from `who | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1`" <my-email@address>
when I log into the server the terminal throws this error:
Alert:... List:; syntax illegal for recipient addresses
but the email still sends.
however when I get the email the message body is fine and contains the correct info but there is no subject line. I can't figure out where the error is.
the strange thing is I have exactly the same command in a centos 7 machine and that works fine.
thanks for any advice.

Hello,

Before possibly installing them, I need to check what files are provided by php-5.6 and php-5.6-fpm.

Apparently, older packages are removed at some point from the official Debian repo, so I tried Ondrej Sur�'s… but no go:

Code: apt-get install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/nginx-mainline

apt-get update
apt-file update

EMPTY apt-file list php5.6
EMPTY 5.6 apt-cache search php | grep php-
EMPTY apt-cache search php | grep 5.6 What's the right way to find what files are provided by an uninstalled package?

Thank you.
