Greetings all;
I ran synaptic-pkexec this morning and got some non-sensical errors.
Shut it down, and looked in /etc/apt, and found all my sources.lists had
been replaced by something pointing at stevenpusser at opensusi.org.
And all the changes were dated this morning.
Now, I have no clue who the hell steven pusser is, but there sure as hell
isn't anything on this system, an i386 wheezy install, from opensusi.org
that I know about.
And its all owned by root. So even after I've restored the .saved
versions of everything, the .saved weren't exactly correct since the
trinity entry was pointed at cz, which I was told last week was a
deprecated address.
So among other things I need to restore is my deb line for the trinity
repo.
Never having run kpackage-trinity, I thought I's see what it looked like,
it was showing as installed but its not in any of the TDE menu's. And
can't be found by me or root.
All of this mucking with my sources list was apparently done by
synaptic-pkexec. Its all datestamped today at 5:40AM locale time, which
is when I tried to run synaptic-pkexe.
And I can find no "arch" reference anyplace. It should be i386 for this
machine.
Call me puzzled. Or worse.

this doesn't sound good - I would take the machine offline and reinstall
from scratch ... unless you are schizophrenic and your other identity is
this steven. Cause you won't know what was replaced/installed from this
site. Programs might be replaced with compromised etc.
this is my opinion.
you wanted anyway to upgrade some time soon - what you can save are the
configurations you have there - but I would not keep this machine online or
at least not in my internal network.

with the possibilities, and to try out different browsers, and to see how I
can configure them to do different tricks. I have got them to fetch, but not
yet to roll over or beg.
Anyway, so I backup my sources.list to an external drive:
sudo
cp -r -v -f /etc/apt/sources.list -t
/media/~/sources/debian-jessie/apt/sources.list-20180610.txt
(Also, make sure you open up Konqueror or some other file manager as root, and
explore /etc/apt/ for whatever else you keep there, especially
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - which is where you'll find third-party
repositories like Opera, Vivaldi, Open Office, and Pale Moon.)
However, I don't allow them to write my sources.list; I copy those
repositories to my master copy on the external drive, and maintain my
sources.list from there. Make sure to rename it to something else; e.g.,with
the date of backup. From this I create my master copy of the sources.list,
and whenever I update my sources.list, I can overwrite the version
in /etc/apt/
sudo cp -r -v -f /media/~/sources/debian-jessie/apt/sources.list -t /etc/apt/
and run sudo apt-get update.
By doing this, too, I can update my sources.list on-the-fly, and maintain
different versions of it for different repositories.
I set kedit (actually kedit-trinity) to open up my master copy of the
sources.list (from my external hard drive), and can edit as I go along, and
easily switch between different versions of my sources.list. And I can keep
my own personal repository on a flash drive, and use that as my default, and
switch back to online repositories whenever I need to download something new.
If this seems either obvious or cumbersome, or highly unorthodox, I can only
say that it works for me. I get complete control over my repositories, and do
my updates and upgrades manually, so that nothing gets installed
automatically.
Glad that I could be of some help. I would hate to think that I was good for
nothing.

Anyway, I'm off (as soon as I build some lunch and we partake) to first
update my dd-wrt install just in case, then once thats back among the
living, see if I can figure out how to beat the debian installer into
making a BIG /home, and install stretch from iso #1, to a brand new
drive.
Then see if I can beat stretch into working with a host based local
network. So far, the installs I've done have required a hand applied
command to make the gateway register in route -n output. PITA.

If this seems either obvious or cumbersome, or highly unorthodox, I
can only say that it works for me. I get complete control over my
repositories, and do my updates and upgrades manually, so that nothing
gets installed automatically.
Glad that I could be of some help. I would hate to think that I was
good for nothing.

Rebuilt to debian amd64 stretch 9.4, iso coming in now. Next is
firmware updates for seagate 2T drives and get another. Then
burn a couple dvd's and a cd of the seagate firmware. And a
fresh flash of my router's dd-wrt. Busy day ahead.

This is just a wild guess ... but is there any chance that you
have downloaded the Pale Moon browser recently?
Steven Pusser's repo appears after you download Pale Moon.

You will please note that there is also a repository for Pale Moon that is
maintained by another person, one Lazlo Kovacs.
I myself haven't tried the Kovacs repo, nor Wheezy or Stretch; so far I've
just used the Debian Jessie version. I assume that they all work about as
well as one another.
I have commented out the repository for Jessie, since you don't use it, and I
wouldn't want you downloading something by mistake.

GeoWorks-based AOL? (Compuserve was too expensive.)
I am not complaining; I think it's totally cool. Sometimes the old stuff is
the best, and deserves to be maintained somewhere or other, kept alive in
some obscure corner of the Internet.
Just yesterday I heard about eMovix, which is actually part of k3b. But I had
not heard of this use for eMovix, which is to create a bootable CD or DVD of
a movie file.
An old friend of mine was one of the designers for TSR's version of D & D, and
helped to create a lot of games for TSR and Coleco, as well as doing some
other interesting stuff.

Evolution has changed almost everything on this planet in the last 70
million years, including us. The singular exception might be Sharks
which are pretty much as they existed even before that big hole in the
planets crust was made that we found in the Yucatan, confirming Louise
Alvarez's theory. That layer of iridium from that bolide is called the
k-t boundary today. And its said to have been only 6 miles wide, yet its
long winter caused 95% of this planets life to perish. Thats why we are
now trying to keep track of the bigger stuff that might intersect our
orbit, and designing means to pulverize and scatter most of it before it
hits us, or at least alter its orbit enough to miss this wet rock we

Sometimes a species survives by evolving a disgusting taste, and at other

the strategy of the jungle fowl in becoming the chicken.

Evolution has changed almost everything on this planet
in the last 70
million years, including us.
"Evolution" as taught in public schools and
universities is 6/7 religion, 1/7
science. http://www.ep.tc/problems/59/ is a relatively short 1974 comic that
explains without fractions.
Evolution as taught has 7 meanings, only one of which is proven science. The
rest is entirely based on faith in various theories that have not been and
almost certainly will not ever be proven. More at http://www.icr.org/ and elsewhere.

I would like to debate you just to show that you don't know what you are
talking about, either in religion or science (since history of religion and
comparative mythology is my background). However, I do agree about the
endless off-topic posts.
Also, as I said, I don't feel the need to try to prove or disprove anything,
as it will not actually convince you of anything, except what you already
believe. But I am quite content to allow you to keep on believing whatever
you like, so long as you don't try to convert me to your own beliefs.
On the other hand, as I pointed out, trying to force other people into a rigid
regime will only destroy us all. I think people here are just letting off
steam; and anyway, when we go off-topic, it is usually confined to a single
thread. Others tend to stick to the topic.
Maybe we can all agree to be civil and polite, if not always to agree? I would
hate to imagine that we cannot find some way to get along without the help of
moderators or policing.
Maybe somebody can just cry "uncle"?

This is wrong. Just as some may kill member of other religions although theirs

This simply comes from the fact that datation methods (which by the way use

Furthermore, even whether or not I agree with them, I still recognize their

But I don't think that we can put a stop to off-topic threads merely by making
stricter rules, or policing by heavy-handed moderators. It seems to me that
we need a separate list or thread in which we can discuss all our off-topic
silly or contentious rants; and which others will then be free to ignore.
For anybody who wishes to know what I think about dragons (and why they are
not, and never were, dinosaurs), I've attached a text file. Anybody who wants

The next time anybody falls down (instead of up), he or she ought to be
reminded that gravity, too, is just a "theory". You are confounding the
vulgar sense of the word (as used in newspapers and popular writing) with its
technical sense.
When scientists use the term *theory*, it is in the original Greek technical
sense of a "vision", something imagined or visualized. Einstein spoke of his
theory of relativity as a kind of myth, and also explained the inner workings
of the atom by a kind of myth. Suppose that you have a watch that cannot be
opened; you see the hands move round, one faster than the other, so you
create a vision in your mind that seems to explain it. You still cannot open
the watch, but your vision, or myth, accounts for all the variables.
Even by using the Hadron collider, scientists still will not be able to open
atoms and view subatomic particles. They study the traces left by those
experiments, but they never (at least, not yet) actually can look inside and
handle the thing itself.
While these explanations are just theories, we can use them with enough
precision to create atomic bombs, send spacecraft to distant planets, and
power our cities by electricity.
If religious people could avoid the tendency to fundamentalist (to turn ideas
into things, or things into ideas, and misinterpret spiritual principles in
physical terms), maybe humanity could get themselves reasonably united enough
to save our home planet before it's too late. When the Bible speaks of the
earth as God's footstool, surely this is intended as a figure of speech; we
should not get hung up on such things any more than we demand that the words
*sunrise* and *sunset* be understood literally.
Moreover, neither science nor religion will ever arrive at some absolute,
final understanding of the universe. There will always be something more,
just out of our reach, which we must imagine, so that we can use our theories
to advance our knowledge of the universe.

one very often forgets that people ate on purpose or by mistake magic
mushrooms or similar hallucinogenic substances. No wonder they were seeing
all kinds of things.
The symbolism of course is different story and it is quite interesting, but

Now that is funny! I am just riffing off the top of my head. I didn't see the

not one of them.
Don't they say that the crocodilians (including alligators, caimans, etc.) are
basically living fossils, that haven't changed much since the time of
dinosaurs, except to get smaller on the whole? There are people, I know, who
have eaten them, so maybe there is a clue.

And here I was, ready to pounce on the first person who was itching for a
fight, who would try to say that mythological dragons, for instance, were
some kind of dim memory of dinosaurs, or creative attempts to explain
dinosaur fossils.
Yes, in fact I do know that many dinosaurs (we now discover) had feathers.
Also, humans and dinosaurs were never* living at the same time.
[* At least, "never", as far as current science know. But then we also used to
say that Homo sapiens never interbred with other humans, such as
Neanderthals; and we now know that they did, and that all non-Africans
(Europeans and Asians, mostly) have some Neanderthal genes; and that
Neanderthals often had red hair.]
Most attempts to explain mythological dragons by the backwards logic of
referring to dinosaurs are, we find, unconsciously influenced by later
literature - mostly science fiction and fantasy. Again, since humans were
never around at the same time as dinosaurs, they could have no memory of them
to feel the need to explain them away; and enormous dinosaur fossils, when
they were discovered, were usually thought to be the bones of the Giants
(that is, the Titans of Greek myth, the Vanir of Norse myth, and so on).
Mythological dragons are altogether different; but if I go there, we will need
to start not just a new thread, but a separate forum!
It will be interesting, if we all survive long enough to witness such events,
whether we can actually succeed in cloning and resurrecting extinct species
from their recovered DNA. I don't know about dinosaurs as such; but I think
it would be great to have woolly mammoths and some other species. And dodo
birds would make an excellent food source, it seems.
When the human race is forced to evacuate the wasteland of our future earth,
and a lucky few will get to colonize other planets, maybe we can take some of
our animals with us.

This post got me thinking. since Konqui the dragon is the KDE community's

but it was such a small piece, I didn't notice anything distinct about it.
It may very well taste like chicken, but I can't say for sure unless I get

New subject: [trinity-users] TOTALLY off-topic - got a puzzle meets dinosaurs & dragons
I was thinking the same thing. TDE is a little like a dinosaur that has been
resurrected; but it's a dinosaur that deserved better. The old KDE3 desktop
suffered from a kind of artificial extinction from unnatural selection.
There is of course T. Rex.
Then again, maybe we ought to just make up our own dinosaur? It could be both
a dinosaur, and mythical.

I like that idea, something like a cross between a teradactyl and a
velociraptor? The velo ran down its lunch so its considered fast, and
the tera flew, which would also be fast. And so is TDE in comparison to
the KDE its developed from because the guys have taken the time to clean
it up and optimize it. A lot. We ought to play pin the tail with all the
parts till we find the one config thats all around good.
Unforch my ideas are not accompanied by the artistic talent to draw the
critter.

The smith wrench, aka an oxy-acetylene torch, I've done some nice work

run but my "touch" with it isn't so well developed. And the flood gas is
still too darned much. Not to mention it doesn't give you the metal's
carbon content control that you can do with a smith wrench. With the
smith wrench, you can leave the cooled weld as soft as body lead, or
nearly as hard as diamond. They try. by making the flood gas 25% CO2,
but its not the same.

No, gator does not taste like chicken, can be used as a replacement.
Also some say snake, rabbit and squirrel taste like chicken, nope. And
crawdad taste like crawdad. Any one of them can be used in soup, salad,
etc. Now if you want to talk about bear, it's best cooked outside the
house. And taste like bear and I can not compare bear to anything that
I've eaten. :) Somebody mentioned pheasant, with wild rice stuffing is
freaking great, I say better than chicken or turkey, if you get a chance
give pheasant a try.
I've eaten great vegan too. What I call great vegan is where you sit

I follow a mostly vegetarian diet; I mostly eat vegetarians. But I also
consume the occasional omnivore (chickens and pigs, mostly).

this is my opinion.
you wanted anyway to upgrade some time soon - what you can save are

Greetings all;
I ran synaptic-pkexec this morning and got some non-sensical errors.
Shut it down, and looked in /etc/apt, and found all my sources.lists had
been replaced by something pointing at stevenpusser at opensusi.org.
And all the changes were dated this morning.
Well, unless you've made a typo, opensusi.org is not OpenSuSE's website
(https://www.opensuse.org/)

TBT, thats a typu. I have only tried suse once, decades ago, and it was a
disaster at that time with half the menu's still in German. However, I
expect like all the others, much amazing progress has been made since.
That was back in about 1999, maybe 2000 IIRC. I'd post the link, but its
now been nuked. And palemoon has never been installed on any of my other
machines.
I haven't found anything else thats been touched, so I've cleaned up the
mess, but I am still going to put stretch on this tower.
Thanks Leslie.

Good catch. I checked my sources.list, too, just to be sure, and the
repository is:
# deb
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser/Debian_7.0/ /
for Wheezy. Change that number accordingly if you upgrade.
