Re: Upgraded to testing, now xserver freezes
This process is usually easier if you don't install anything beforehand.. :-) hmm... Ok, I'm going to try re-installing from scratch and see how that goes :) Joubin

Re: Upgraded to testing, now xserver freezes
thanks a lot Patrick! following your instructions got me past the errors, so now I had a thatch screen plus moving mouse... and then a bit of mixing and matching from the generated XF86config.new and my old one got things going as I'd like. Thanks! and woww!! I gotta say, with the look and feel of KDE3.2 on testing, I'm willing to put up with some bugginess... mind you I'm curious to know, just how buggy do people find testing to be? and what do you do when you encounter a bug? - Original Message - From: Patrick Finnegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 2:15 pm Subject: Re: Upgraded to testing, now xserver freezes On Wednesday 26 May 2004 15:46, Joubin Moshrefzadeh wrote: Okay, I re-installed Debian Sparc on my Ultra5 from scratch, this time only doing a base installation of woody, then doing a dist-upgrade to testing, then tasksel to install desktop packages... but still i get errors when running startx (and I'm sorry but I'm way out of my depth here so I include the full xfree86.0.log): (any thoughts/pointers would be appreciated) Try doing an XFree86 -configure, and start it using the config file it generates.

Upgraded to testing, now xserver freezes
Ok, I successfully had stable running on my Ultra 5 with no problems for a few months. But I was a bit disappointed with the age of some of the apps, so deciding between backports and going to testing, I chose the latter route. So following the instructions at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-woody.en.html I proceeded, having to (re)issue apt-get -f install several times when the upgrade would stop with some error, and then (re)issue apt-get -t testing dist-upgrade... etc. Anyway, after some time and several cycles through this process, I the upgrade ended with no reported errors... great!! However, now.. after startx, I get the gray thatch screen and I can see my mouse (which responds to mouse movements) but thats it... the window manager never comes up (before the KDE window showing whats being loaded would come up at this point, but no more). if I ssh in, i see the following processes: So anyway, if anyone can point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this I'd be grateful :) Joubin

Re: Arnos firewall script
Hi all, thanks for the pionters.. problem solved, thanks to the input from this list and also from Arno himself... here's my reply to his post on the scripts own mailing list (for anyone interested): Hi Arno, Thanks for the suggestions. It pointed me in the the right direction. I did some tracing through the script and looked at the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter and it seemed in addition to the modules the script loads, there were three others which I needed to load as well: ipt_LOG.o, ipt_TOS.o, and ipt_TCPMSS.o Loading these removed pretty much all the errors I was getting, oh and removing any mention to -m limit --limit..., which I was informed in the Debian-sparc mailing list is needed due to a bug in the iptables implementation on that distro right now... anyway, all was good except a couple mentions in your script to the nat table... it seems (or at least I think this is the case) that even though I've specified NAT=0, the script still has some references to the nat table (i.e. when flushing all rules) which causes iptables to throw an error message since the table doesn't exist/isn't loaded. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I thought I'd let you know. In my case, I'm not using the script on a gateway box, its a standalone machine and I liked the simplicity of the config on your script, so perhaps my particular case isn't one you intended the script for, anyway, everything goes smoothly if I set NAT=1, or load the iptable_nat module by default at the start of the script. Thanks for the pointers and a great utility!

Weird! Limit module (both kernel and userspace) work just fine on my woody-running ultrasparcs. I use to compile kernels by my own due to some security enhancements but I'm not aware of any changes against the distribution kernel which would somehow influence the limit module behaviour. I had the same problems with the limit module on an ultra1. It appearsto be an API issue: https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94 There's some discussion on the netfilter lists too. I've no idea why it would work for you though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Arnos firewall script
Anyone tried using this script? I'm trying to use it on an Ultra5 running Woody but keep getting errors like: iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table 'nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. . . iptables: Invalid argument . . iptables: No chain/target/match by that name my searches on google suggested insmod iptables.o, which didn't work, since i guess the modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ are named differently... i.e. ip_tables.o. but trying to insmod ip_tables.o gives me: insmod: a module named ip_tables already exists so neeless to say, i'm a bit stumped... all i want is a simple firewall script, and this seemed like a solution... if anyone can suggest a remedy or suggest other scripts they've had success with on sparc, I'd look forward to the input. thanks, Joubin
Re: Arnos firewall script
Sorry Jeff, meant to reply-all so the list would also see... I tried removing all references to -m limit --limit ... in the script but I still get the same errors... If it helps, I had the same problems with anothe script I got off the net as well. so I'm assuming its something to do with my iptables setup. - Original Message - From: Jeff Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, April 30, 2004 12:20 pm Subject: Re: Arnos firewall script I haven't looked at that script in particular, but having just setup an iptables firewall on my own U5 recerntly, I'd wager the script has -m limit lines within.
