</a>
32 <p>Some times I try to figure out which Iceweasel browser plugin to
33 install to get support for a given MIME type. Thanks to
34 <a href=
"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Plugins">specifications
35 done by Ubuntu
</a> and Mozilla, it is possible to do this in Debian.
36 Unfortunately, not very many packages provide the needed meta
37 information, Anyway, here is a small script to look up all browser
38 plugin packages announcing ther MIME support using this specification:
</p>
44 def pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
49 version = pkg.candidate
51 version = pkg.installed
54 record = version.record
55 if not record.has_key('Npp-MimeType'):
57 mime_types = record['Npp-MimeType'].split(',')
59 t = t.rstrip().strip()
61 thepkgs.append(pkg.name)
63 mimetype = "audio/ogg"
65 mimetype = sys.argv[
1]
66 print "Browser plugin packages supporting %s:" % mimetype
67 for pkg in pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
71 <p>It can be used like this to look up a given MIME type:
</p>
74 % ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype
75 Browser plugin packages supporting audio/ogg:
77 % ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype application/x-shockwave-flash
78 Browser plugin packages supporting application/x-shockwave-flash:
83 <p>In Ubuntu this mechanism is combined with support in the browser
84 itself to query for plugins and propose to install the needed
85 packages. It would be great if Debian supported such feature too. Is
86 anyone working on adding it?

107 <p>The
<a href=
"http://wiki.debian.org/AppStreamDebianProposal">DEP-
11
108 proposal to add AppStream information to the Debian archive
</a>, is a
109 proposal to make it possible for a Desktop application to propose to
110 the user some package to install to gain support for a given MIME
111 type, font, library etc. that is currently missing. With such
112 mechanism in place, it would be possible for the desktop to
113 automatically propose and install leocad if some LDraw file is
114 downloaded by the browser.
</p>
116 <p>To get some idea about the current content of the archive, I decided
117 to write a simple program to extract all .desktop files from the
118 Debian archive and look up the claimed MIME support there. The result
120 <a href=
"http://ftp.skolelinux.org/pub/AppStreamTest">Skolelinux FTP
121 site
</a>. Using the collected information, it become possible to
122 answer the question in the title. Here are the
20 most supported MIME
123 types in Debian stable (Squeeze), testing (Wheezy) and unstable (Sid).
124 The complete list is available from the link above.

207 <p>I am told that PackageKit can provide an API to access the kind of
208 information mentioned in DEP-
11. I have not yet had time to look at
209 it, but hope the PackageKit people in Debian are on top of these

"http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Using_modalias_info_to_find_packages_handling_my_hardware.html">Using modalias info to find packages handling my hardware
</a>
234 <p>Yesterday, I wrote about the
235 <a href=
"http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Modalias_strings___a_practical_way_to_map__stuff__to_hardware.html">modalias
236 values provided by the Linux kernel
</a> following my hope for
237 <a href=
"http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">better
238 dongle support in Debian
</a>. Using this knowledge, I have tested how
239 modalias values attached to package names can be used to map packages
240 to hardware. This allow the system to look up and suggest relevant
241 packages when I plug in some new hardware into my machine, and replace
242 discover and discover-data as the database used to map hardware to
245 <p>I create a modaliases file with entries like the following,
246 containing package name, kernel module name (if relevant, otherwise
247 the package name) and globs matching the relevant hardware
251 Package: package-name
252 <br>Modaliases: module(modaliasglob, modaliasglob, modaliasglob)
</p>
255 <p>It is fairly trivial to write code to find the relevant packages
256 for a given modalias value using this file.
</p>
258 <p>An entry like this would suggest the video and picture application
259 cheese for many USB web cameras (interface bus class
0E01):
</p>
263 <br>Modaliases: cheese(usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip*)
</p>
266 <p>An entry like this would suggest the pcmciautils package when a
267 CardBus bridge (bus class
0607) PCI device is present:
</p>
271 <br>Modaliases: pcmciautils(pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc06sc07i*)
274 <p>An entry like this would suggest the package colorhug-client when
275 plugging in a ColorHug with USB IDs
04D8:F8DA:
</p>
278 Package: colorhug-client
279 <br>Modaliases: colorhug-client(usb:v04D8pF8DAd*)
</p>
282 <p>I believe the format is compatible with the format of the Packages
283 file in the Debian archive. Ubuntu already uses their Packages file
284 to store their mappings from packages to hardware.
</p>
286 <p>By adding a XB-Modaliases: header in debian/control, any .deb can
287 announce the hardware it support in a way my prototype understand.
288 This allow those publishing packages in an APT source outside the
289 Debian archive as well as those backporting packages to make sure the
290 hardware mapping are included in the package meta information. I've
291 tested such header in the pymissile package, and its modalias mapping
292 is working as it should with my prototype. It even made it to Ubuntu
295 <p>To test if it was possible to look up supported hardware using only
296 the shell tools available in the Debian installer, I wrote a shell
297 implementation of the lookup code. The idea is to create files for
298 each modalias and let the shell do the matching. Please check out and

"http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/hw-support-lookup?view=co">hw-support-lookup

301 shell script. It run without any extra dependencies and fetch the
302 hardware mappings from the Debian archive and the subversion
303 repository where I currently work on my prototype.
</p>
305 <p>When I use it on a machine with a yubikey inserted, it suggest to
306 install yubikey-personalization:
</p>
309 % ./hw-support-lookup
310 <br>yubikey-personalization
314 <p>When I run it on my Thinkpad X40 with a PCMCIA/CardBus slot, it
315 propose to install the pcmciautils package:
</p>
318 % ./hw-support-lookup

325 database
</a>, please tell me about it.
</p>
327 <p>It could be possible to generate several of the mappings between
328 packages and hardware. One source would be to look at packages with
329 kernel modules, ie packages with *.ko files in /lib/modules/, and
330 extract their modalias information. Another would be to look at
331 packages with udev rules, ie packages with files in
332 /lib/udev/rules.d/, and extract their vendor/model information to
333 generate a modalias matching rule. I have not tested any of these to

360 <p>While looking into how to look up Debian packages based on hardware
361 information, to find the packages that support a given piece of
362 hardware, I refreshed my memory regarding modalias values, and decided
363 to document the details. Here are my findings so far, also available

377 <p>The modalias entries for a given Linux machine can be found using
378 this shell script:
</p>
381 find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -
0 cat | sort -u
384 <p>The supported modalias globs for a given kernel module can be found
388 % /sbin/modinfo psmouse | grep alias:
389 alias: serio:ty05pr*id*ex*
390 alias: serio:ty01pr*id*ex*
394 <p><strong>PCI subtype
</strong></p>
396 <p>A typical PCI entry can look like this. This is an Intel Host
397 Bridge memory controller:
</p>
400 pci:v00008086d00002770sv00001028sd000001ADbc06sc00i00
403 <p>This represent these values:
</p>
408 sv
00001028 (subvendor)
409 sd
000001AD (subdevice)
415 <p>The vendor/device values are the same values outputted from 'lspci
416 -n' as
8086:
2770. The bus class/subclass is also shown by lspci as
417 0600. The
0600 class is a host bridge. Other useful bus values are
418 0300 (VGA compatible card) and
0200 (Ethernet controller).
</p>
420 <p>Not sure how to figure out the interface value, nor what it
423 <p><strong>USB subtype
</strong></p>
425 <p>Some typical USB entries can look like this. This is an internal
426 USB hub in a laptop:
</p>
429 usb:v1D6Bp0001d0206dc09dsc00dp00ic09isc00ip00
432 <p>Here is the values included in this alias:
</p>
435 v
1D6B (device vendor)
436 p
0001 (device product)
439 dsc
00 (device subclass)
440 dp
00 (device protocol)
441 ic
09 (interface class)
442 isc
00 (interface subclass)
443 ip
00 (interface protocol)
446 <p>The
0900 device class/subclass means hub. Some times the relevant
447 class is in the interface class section. For a simple USB web camera,
448 these alias entries show up:
</p>
451 usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc01ip00
452 <br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc02ip00
453 <br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc01ip00
454 <br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc02ip00
457 <p>Interface class
0E01 is video control,
0E02 is video streaming (aka
458 camera),
0101 is audio control device and
0102 is audio streaming (aka
459 microphone). Thus this is a camera with microphone included.
</p>
461 <p><strong>ACPI subtype
</strong></p>
463 <p>The ACPI type is used for several non-PCI/USB stuff. This is an IR
464 receiver in a Thinkpad X40:
</p>
467 acpi:IBM0071:PNP0511:
470 <p>The values between the colons are IDs.
</p>
472 <p><strong>DMI subtype
</strong></p>
474 <p>The DMI table contain lots of information about the computer case
475 and model. This is an entry for a IBM Thinkpad X40, fetched from
476 /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias:

493 rvr NotAvailable (board version)
494 cvn IBM (chassis vendor)
496 cvr NotAvailable (chassis version)
499 <p>The chassis type
10 is Notebook. Other interesting values can be
500 found in the dmidecode source:
</p>
504 4 Low Profile Desktop
517 17 Main Server Chassis
520 20 Bus Expansion Chassis
521 21 Peripheral Chassis
523 23 Rack Mount Chassis
532 <p>The chassis type values are not always accurately set in the DMI
533 table. For example my home server is a tower, but the DMI modalias
534 claim it is a desktop.
</p>
536 <p><strong>SerIO subtype
</strong></p>
538 <p>This type is used for PS/
2 mouse plugs. One example is from my
542 serio:ty01pr00id00ex00
545 <p>The values present are
</p>
554 <p>This type is supported by the psmouse driver. I am not sure what
555 the valid values are.
</p>
557 <p><strong>Other subtypes
</strong></p>
559 <p>There are heaps of other modalias subtypes according to
560 file2alias.c. There is the rest of the list from that source: amba,
561 ap, bcma, ccw, css, eisa, hid, i2c, ieee1394, input, ipack, isapnp,
562 mdio, of, parisc, pcmcia, platform, scsi, sdio, spi, ssb, vio, virtio,
563 vmbus, x86cpu and zorro. I did not spend time documenting all of
564 these, as they do not seem relevant for my intended use with mapping
565 hardware to packages when new stuff is inserted during run time.
</p>
567 <p><strong>Looking up kernel modules using modalias values
</strong></p>
569 <p>To check which kernel modules provide support for a given modalias,
570 one can use the following shell script:
</p>
573 for id in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -
0 cat | sort -u); do \
575 /sbin/modprobe --show-depends "$id"|sed 's/^/ /' ; \
579 <p>The output can look like this (only the first few entries as the
580 list is very long on my test machine):

627 <p>As part of my investigation on how to improve the support in Debian
628 for hardware dongles, I dug up my old Mark and Spencer USB Rocket
629 Launcher and updated the Debian package
630 <a href=
"http://packages.qa.debian.org/pymissile">pymissile
</a> to make
631 sure udev will fix the device permissions when it is plugged in. I
632 also added a "Modaliases" header to test it in the Debian archive and
633 hopefully make the package be proposed by jockey in Ubuntu when a user
634 plug in his rocket launcher. In the process I moved the source to a
635 git repository under collab-maint, to make it easier for any DD to

">Lets make hardware dongles easier to use in Debian</a>
665 <p>One thing that annoys me with Debian and Linux distributions in
666 general, is that there is a great package management system with the
667 ability to automatically install software packages by downloading them
668 from the distribution mirrors, but no way to get it to automatically
669 install the packages I need to use the hardware I plug into my
670 machine. Even if the package to use it is easily available from the
671 Linux distribution. When I plug in a LEGO Mindstorms NXT, it could
672 suggest to automatically install the python-nxt, nbc and t2n packages
673 I need to talk to it. When I plug in a Yubikey, it could propose the
674 yubikey-personalization package. The information required to do this
675 is available, but no-one have pulled all the pieces together.</p>
677 <p>Some years ago, I proposed to
678 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/
2010/
05/msg01206.html
">use
679 the discover subsystem to implement this</a>. The idea is fairly
684 <li>Add a desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ pointing to a program
685 starting when a user log in.</li>
687 <li>Set this program up to listen for kernel events emitted when new
688 hardware is inserted into the computer.</li>
690 <li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware ID in a
691 database mapping to packages, and take note of any non-installed
694 <li>Show a message to the user proposing to install the discovered
695 package, and make it easy to install it.</li>
699 <p>I am not sure what the best way to implement this is, but my
700 initial idea was to use dbus events to discover new hardware, the
701 discover database to find packages and
702 <a href="http://www.packagekit.org/
">PackageKit</a> to install
705 <p>Yesterday, I found time to try to implement this idea, and the
706 draft package is now checked into
707 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/
">the
708 Debian Edu subversion repository</a>. In the process, I updated the
709 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover-data.html
">discover-data</a>
710 package to map the USB ids of LEGO Mindstorms and Yubikey devices to
711 the relevant packages in Debian, and uploaded a new version
712 2.2013.01.09 to unstable. I also discovered that the current
713 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover.html
">discover</a>
714 package in Debian no longer discovered any USB devices, because
715 /proc/bus/usb/devices is no longer present. I ported it to use
716 libusb as a fall back option to get it working. The fixed package
717 version 2.1.2-6 is now in experimental (didn't upload it to unstable
718 because of the freeze).</p>
720 <p>With this prototype in place, I can insert my Yubikey, and get this
721 desktop notification to show up (only once, the first time it is

"></p>
726 <p>For this prototype to be really useful, some way to automatically
727 install the proposed packages by pressing the "Please install
728 program(s)" button should to be implemented.
</p>
730 <p>If this idea seem useful to you, and you want to help make it
731 happen, please help me update the discover-data database with mappings
732 from hardware to Debian packages. Check if 'discover-pkginstall -l'
733 list the package you would like to have installed when a given
734 hardware device is inserted into your computer, and report bugs using
735 reportbug if it isn't. Or, if you know of a better way to provide
736 such mapping, please let me know.
</p>
738 <p>This prototype need more work, and there are several questions that
739 should be considered before it is ready for production use. Is dbus
740 the correct way to detect new hardware? At the moment I look for HAL
741 dbus events on the system bus, because that is the events I could see
742 on my Debian Squeeze KDE desktop. Are there better events to use?
743 How should the user be notified? Is the desktop notification
744 mechanism the best option, or should the background daemon raise a
745 popup instead? How should packages be installed? When should they
746 not be installed?
</p>
748 <p>If you want to help getting such feature implemented in Debian,
749 please send me an email. :)

</a>. My son and I have played a bit with my NXT set, and I

815 <li>BankID er et opplegg der utsteder (dvs. banken eller dens
816 leverandør) sitter på alt som trengs for å bruke BankID, men har
817 lovet å ikke bruke den unntatt på oppdrag fra deg. Det er greit nok
818 for banktjenester, der banken allerede har full kontroll over
819 resultatet, men problematisk når det gjelder tilgang til
820 helseopplysninger og avtaleinngåelse med andre enn banken. Jeg
