Guarddog Wont Allow Access To Browzer And Email
Just finished configuring Guarddog firewall using the "Using Guarddog" Basic Configuation Tutorial in the KDE help files. The tutorial seemed fairly easy to use and understand so, I'm a little surprised that I was blocked from accessing the internet. However, I'm new to Linux and have only used free Zone Alarm under Windows 98SE which was simple to setup. I was able to connect to my ISP using KPPP but couldn't use the browser or email client. Got an error message to the effect that the URL was not found, please check that the name is correct... . I also set up a DMZ zone as suggested in the tutorial and suspect this may be causing the problem. My zone configuration looks like this: Local-> DMZ DMZ->Local DMZ->Internet Internet-> DMZ And, of course, I tagged the all the email protocols and TPC, UDC protocols. Would appreciate any clues/suggestions on how to fix the firewall. Will supply any needed info when requested. Please copy my email address as I'm not subscribed. Thanks for your consideration, Leonard Chatagnier Additional Info: Using Debian stock kernel v.2.6.8-2-686, no lan, connecting to internet with 56K modem, iptables installed, DMZ zone contains the local host address of 127.0.0.1/8(don't know if this is correct but it's all I could come up with as my IP address is dynamic) Also added my ISP and my dynamic local addresses to the DMZ zone while on-line and was still blocked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I had exactly this problem. Here is what I did to solve it. Firstly, edit your /etc/network/interfaces file to have the following lines: auto dsl-provider iface dsl-provider inet ppp provider dsl-provider #please do not modify the following line pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up #line maintained by pppoeconf (although, mine looks like this: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto dsl-provider iface dsl-provider inet ppp provider dsl-provider #please do not modify the following line pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up #line maintained by pppoeconf I add this purely for completion: Perhaps you wish a loopback for CUPS, et cetera. As you like it.) Next, go to /etc/ppp and delete both ppp_on_boot and ppp_on_boot.dsl. You probably will have these. Then, reboot. Doing those two things should solve your problem. To make sure, try ifconfig. You should see only eth0 and ppp0 (and possibly the lo bit). If this does not work, try to look about in /etc/ppp and /etc/network for any thing that looks remotely connected to your situation. And, of course, E-Mail the thread.

You can hear in the tone of their voice that the folks on Oregon Public Broadcasting Radio have a hard time holding a straight face when they read the sponsor credit, "Microsoft, Your Potential, Our Passion." and you only ever hear the full credit read off syndicated broadcasts from National Public Radio.

I every once in a while lose dvd medias with k3b (growisofs) > I wonder what is wrong... is it my writer, is it the software, is it the > media? Dunno. I'm new at this myself. It's possible you have a dud dvd every once in a while - depending on the media you get. It happens to me from time to time writing CDs - for the cheaper media you might end up with 5-10 coasters per 100 or so. But the price is probably worth it - as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. :) What I'd recommend for starters is first see if using the growisofs command from the command line (i.e., without K3B as a front end) improves your situation any. For me, k3b just doesn't do a good job - for some reason (independent of distro it seems) it usually just crashes on startup or (when I used it a long while ago) would abort right in the middle of burning a CD. I've never tried it on DVDs. I can probably see one advantage to using a frontend GUI, and that's when using drag/drop on a bunch of files - especially if they have some directory structure. For the life of me, getting the directories and files on the CD to match the layout on the HD is difficult, especially when using graft points (for instance, I had a number of mp3s in 11 different directories (dir01 dir02 dir03 dir 11) once, and getting it to the CD with mkisofs sure was a hassle - as I had to put in grafts for each and every directory on the command line. I wonder how people master CDs :). To some extent, this applies to DVDs as well, although for movies there are lots fewer files typically, but for data DVDs the problem may just be as difficult if not more so.

Or is this just a pre-emptive strike against the > upcoming OOo 2.0 release? M$ has clearly been suffering revenue pressure. That's why they had Level 6 licensing. Besides desktop -- which was hended to them by hapless John Akers at IBM --- they haven't done much in terms of market penetration. Linux is putting a lot of pressure on the server side, and palm, symbian, linux and Java are rule the gadget market. So basically, they have to milk the desktop cow as much as they can. Your question, is OO putting pressure. Maybe, I am not sure. I personally know very few people (1 in 20 at the most) who use Microsoft Office on their home computer. Most of them (15 out of 20) use OO. But when it comes to work, most people use M$ products. So it's hard to say. This is a Debian forum. Not sure how much people would appreciate discussing OO.

Those disabled goodies in mplayer
Hi, I guess most of people is like me, seeing these messages over and over but never pay attention: MMX2 supported but disabled SSE supported but disabled SSE2 supported but disabled 3DNow supported but disabled 3DNowExt supported but disabled This is what my mplayer outputs when it start decoding. I'm wondering how to enable them so my decoding would be faster (I'm decoding from file to file) I searched the google, and seems no discussion on this either. Moreover, they seems to be compile time options. I.e., they are disabled at compile time, is that so? Beside, which one (or ones) should I enable for my AMD Athlon, if I could? Please comment.

upgrading to X.org server
Not so long ago, I upgraded to the X.org 6.8.2 packages in unstable. The upgrade was very smooth and easy, and produced a working configuration right away (creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the old XF86Config-4 file). It looks like the X Strike Force has done a really great job. However, there were a couple of small adjustments that I had to make by hand that I thought would be worth reporting here, in case others have had similar issues. 1. I initially lost access to my TrueType fonts. This turned out to be because X.org no longer uses the xtt module (its functionality included instead in the freetype module). So when I commented out: #Load"xtt" from the Modules section and instead: Load"freetype" the problem was solved. 2. The X.org server no longer supports the speedo module or the associated fonts, so I was getting warning messages until I commented out the relevant lines in the Fonts section and in the Modules section. Very minor. 3. Most serious problem: (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap The most visible symptom here was that I could no longer use Ctl-Alt-Fn to get back to the n-th virtual console from a running X session. The solution in this case was to make a link from: /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg and also from: /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.1st.

How can I tell? Why are there both? IIRC, X 4.x uses XF86Config-4 first, and if it can't find it uses XF86Config. What version of X do you have? I've had pretty good luck on newish chipsets and lcd displays by ... 1. have only one of XF86Config-4 and XF86Config (I use -4) 2. comment out the Modes line in XF86Config-4 and add one that has *only* the native res. 3. Upgrade X to the one from testing or unstable (i.e. one that's likely to recognize and understand the ideosyncracies of more chipsets) #1 might fix it, or you may have to go to #2 or #3. If #3 doesn't work, try a Modes line that has one of the more conventional resolutions (example: my Dell has a native rez of 1920x1200 but I had to run it at 1600x1200 [black on sides] till I got the special nvidia module). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Can't get more than 1024x768 even with the on-board card properly detected (XFree86+KDE 3.3)
I have an HP tablet pc to work on, so I couldn't test with your
resolution, as mine
only scales to 1024x768. This is what I did, and it could help you.
when you start your X session, by default a log file is created at
/var/log/XFree86.0.log
type mv /var/log/XFree86.0.log /var/log/XFree86.0.log.old
this will just rename the logfile, so we can start a new one fresh.
then
type startx
open /var/log/XFree86.0.log in your favorite text editor.
Scroll until you see a line that looks like this (or something similar):
(II) Setting vga for screen0
this is the section where it probes your monitor for valid resolutions.
I took the modes lines out of my XF86Config-4 file, and this is where
it get interesting. X will probe a bunch of different screen settings
to find one that will work. In my case many of the default resolutions
do not work.
Scroll down and see if you find something similar to this.
(**) DRIVERNAME(0): Validated modes for display device DEVICENAME:
if this exists, the lines immediately after this will show the
resolution X believes are good. Then, just below this, would be
something similar:
(**) DRIVERNAME(0): Default mode "INSERT RESOLUTION": Scan freq. .
This will list all of the modes X deems as compatible with your current setup.
If your modes line contains an incompatible resolution, it will also
state this. above the (**) line.
(WW) DRIVERNAME(0): Not using mode "INSERT RESOLUTION" ("INSERT REASON")
If your log file states that your custom mode is incompatible, it will
take someone with more knowledge than I to help you.
I am actually new to Linux, and don't know nearly as much as I would like.
anyway, if this doesn't work post the contents of your entire
XF86Config-4 file, as well as the entire /var/log/XFree86.0.log file.
Until next time...

apt-get: Command not found.
apt-get: Command not found. I am a newbie to linux. I recently installed Debian on a computer that sits in a closet So I ssh in. I got Samba working fine, after tinkering with the /etc/samba/smb.conf file to read: [global] workgroup = workgroup netbios name = linux security = share [shareRW] path = /home/james/Documents/sharedRW read only = No guest ok = Yes and manually starting the daemons with nmbd -D smbd -D All was well But then I wanted it to automatically start the daemons on reboot, and I had no idea how to do that. So I said to myself, "well, surely Debian knows how to do that", so attempted to type apt-get update apt-get install samba smbclient Only to get the surprising message: apt-get: Command not found. I conjecture that apt-get has been replaced with some cool gui based configuration tool. I recollect that when I access the computer with keyboard and monitor, (which requires me to haul the computer out of the cupboard) I get some stuff about updates, but when I access the KDE gui through vnc and vncserver, I get a rather sparse screen that does not have that update stuff on it. I suppose there is some command I can give in the KDE gui that will bring up some tool for updating and configuring debian? my .vnc/xstartup file is unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde & Maybe there is something I can add to that file so my startup screen is a bit more helpful?

fsck boot not working
I used to run debian testing, i now run stable (clean install). It seems that fsck at boot is not working on this installation, the mount count on the file system is 59 and the maximum mount count is 5.

Actually, I > received this computer as part of a training course and I'm trying to > drop my expertise level so I can see what happens and learn from there. True, this may not be obvious at first to an average user. I also agree that most Windows users do not "safely remove" the USB device by right clicking on the devic's icon in the system tray (lower right corner of the scree) and choosing "Remove device safely". Most just yank it out (not recommended at all). Most are lucky because I guess the way those devices are mounted is that data transfer is done right away on any operation (instead of flushing data at some suitable time later). So chances are you will be okay most of the times, but you can loose data if you are unlucky. Now, I believe an Windows average user does not read documentation that comes either with the OS or with the USB device. This ignorance is quite pronounced in Windows world where reading documentation by an average user is more or less unheard of ;) In Linux it is of course different. I can estimate that almost all Linux users with at least a few months's experience realize they they should read at least some kind of documentation. So this unmounting of devices prior to their disconnection is sort of an alien concept in Windows world (for average user) and quite familiar with Linux users. In Linux, I guess the default options of mounting USB device are to flush data with each write or read so data transfer is not deferred till later (at least I set it up like that when I made rules for USB disks or CF cards). So yanking out should work just as well as it should in Windows (or better). However, the proper method is to umount the device first and then remove it (or "Remove device safely" in Windows). >>unmounted, again all automatically. I asked my wife to try this.

If something like this comes along in IceWM, it would be really great. I have an old computer setup as a router in my home. I am running IceWM on it and have to manually mount stuff like this the odd times I have needed to. ->HS -- Please remove the underscores ( the '_' symbols) from my email address to obtain the correct one.

Hi, guys. I just have a quick question. I burnt the DVD and netinstall version of debian. I put it in the dvd rom in my laptop, and then pressed enter to boot. After a short loading of kernels..etc for like 2 sec. my screen goes blank, and both the harddrive and dvd rom stop functioning/responding. So, do you guys have any idea of what's going on? waiting for your reply. Thank you for your time David

You are not supposed to yant it like that, neither in Windows not in
Linux. In Windows, you "Safely Remove" a USB device and in Linux you
umount that device prior to removing.

I tried reading about Udev rules and was able to make devices for my
digital camera and my USB card reader (this was a few months ago when
auto-detection wasn't working so well in Unstable). I ended up with
rules something like:
IF DETECTED: my digicam: THEN MAKE DEV /dev/my-digicam
And I had a mount point in /media called say "canon" which mounted
"/dev/my-digicam". I could mount this by clicking on "canon" icon in
"Computer" folder of Gnome desktop. At that time, this was the closes I
could get to ease of use for Windows (I was setting up my wife's laptop
with all this, and wanted it to be as seamless as it was in Windows for
her).
Having described all this, I now realize that if you are using gnome and
you have udev, hal and gnome-volume-manager, you don't need to do all
this stuff. If I plug in a 256MB USB stick, I get an icon on my desktop
with an appropriate name, all automatically. When I umount it (right
clicking on the icon on desktop), the icon dissappears and the device is
unmounted, again all automatically. I asked my wife to try this. She
found it no different than in Windows in terms of ease of use. And
regarding digital cameras, they are also auto-detected using digikam or
gtkam with libgphoto2.
So in the end, I know that udev rule making is tedious, but it works.
But I am also not sure how to make general rules for USB sticks separate
from floppies -- but I can't say I have looked much. In any case, at
least in Gnome, one does't really need to make any rules anymore. And I
guess the upcoming KDE will also have this
auto-detect-auto-mount-auto-unmount feature.

I've used those D-link before on belgian internet providers and sometimes it's hard to get it connected. Especially check the ATM PVC properties, they differ depending the provider you use. When you think your modem made a correct connection, try to ping something on the internet using the ipadres. You could try `ping 194.109.137.218` which is www.debian.org. If this works correct, try the dns-server your router provides. Somewhere on the status page, there must be a dns provided by your provider. On scarlet it should be something like `ping 193.74.208.137`. Once this is working, try to query the dnsserver of your provider using dig or host like `host www.scarlet.be 193.74.208.137` If you get correct answers, you can finish testing `host www.debian.org` which should return the ip of www.debian.org querying the nameservers provided by your /etc/resolv.conf Hope it helps, wim.

If you are never going to log in with X then: apt-get remove gdm kdm xdm If you are asking how you can do this for a single login session then I use cntrl-alt-F1 to switch to a text console. There are several virtual consoles configured by default. I often use the text consoles for various reasons. Alternatively the graphical login managers also have a button to login on the text console. If you really want the graphical login to be runlevel dependent then simply configure the system to be runlevel dependent. You can do this either of two ways. Use one of the management programs sysvconfig, rcconf, or sysv-rc-conf mentioned previously. Or just move the symlink yourself manually. Your manual changes will be recognized and preserved by update-rc.d on future package upgrades. cd /etc/rc3.d mv S99kdm K99kdm mv S99gdm K99gdm Are you aware of how ~/.xsession may be used for your own personal customization of the X11 startup? In fact you will almost certainly want it so that you can load your ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc files.

I take it it gets sourced if it exists as > localrc? It gets sourced because it has a symlink to it (created with update-rc.d in my example) which points to it from rc2.d. I only called it localrc here in the example. I almost called it "mypersonallocalrc" for emphasis and perhaps should have. Or perhaps I should have called it exactly "rc.local" as in your previous system. The name really does not matter. I was just typing in names fast and furiously.

You have lost me. I know "setibatch" is how you are starting the seti tools. You did not mention "boinc" previously but I will assume it is another thing you want run at startup. Given that, I don't understand your question at all. If you put it in then you can take it out, right? I am starting out with the scene you had set that you had created an rc.local on your previous system and wanted to transfer that local rc startup to your Debian system. In that case pretty much anything you did in the old rc.local you would do on your new system too. If you started both of those in rc.local then you could start both of those in one script now too. If you want to create individual scripts one for each of those then that is fine too. Because your comment loses me I would need more input to suggest more. > Maybe a different tack needs to be taken by way of having an etc/local > dir, and anything placed it it gets sourced at startup? Is something > like that possible in the future? You can easily create this yourself. See the run-parts command for a useful utility in this process. You could package up a generic startup interface and submit it to the community. Others might find that useful too. man run-parts But pretty soon you will find that ordering is a problem. So you would probably create a directory that contains the real scripts and a second directory that contains symlinks to those scripts. The name of the symlink could contain a number to force a startup ordering independent of the underlying name. If you notice I have just proposed that the logical conclusion of doing this is that we would have exactly the same system that we already have with the /etc/init.d and /etc/rc*.d directories! :-) [Of course the Gentoo folks have a different startup system with declared dependencies and an automatic ordering that they like. And there are parties in Debian proposing similar things too. Persona

Over the last few days i've done some tests. I removed the top case of the external CD drive enclosure. So now the drive is exposed directly to the air, rather than being covered by an extra piece of metal. Previously after ripping a few discs, the drive enclosure would feel slightly warm to the touch. Without the enclosure, the drive itself stays cool even after ripping several discs. I haven't had any more errors. So i believe the problem was the drive overheating. Until i'm done ripping my collection, i'll just run the drive with the drive enclosure open since it seems to work now.

The emacs (sic) command to toggle font-lock (syntax highlighting) is
font-lock-mode
Try that and if it works for that buffer then you could always add stuff
to your .emacs file

Problems using hal, pmount and gvm
Hi, I seem to have problems with the mentioned components. I managed to configure hal and pmount such that an attached usbdisk gets mounted to /media. However, I don't get the device icons visible in nautilus in the computer:/// view. As I said, the disks get mounted properly and I have access but for convenience reasons I'd like to the the icons in the computer view. I believe it could have something to do with an improperly set gnome-vfs? Any hints would be nice!

[SWOT] Microsoft on the run?
Perhaps these spots have been running longer, but I just heard the first one yesterday. Office has always been a Microsoft cash cow. Is that cow now drying up? I ask this because yesterday during a nationally syndicated program I heard a radio commercial for Microsoft Office. No, the spot did not mention a *new* version of Office, just Office. The spot describes the features of Office and gives a URL for more information including a download giving a 14 day free trial! I heard the same spot this morning just before 7 AM CDT during the Wall Street Journal Report on a different station. Is Open Office now making enough inroads that MS feels the need to keep its name out there? Or is this just a pre-emptive strike against the upcoming OOo 2.0 release? Whatever the reason, I applaud the community's efforts and do continue to spread the word about OOo and friends. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @| a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

setting up the graphics
Hi I want to go through the setup for the graphics side of things as I think my graphics card is not set up right. I have an nvidia TNT2 PCI with 32mb of ram. But the best resolution I can get is only 800x600 which means I can't see a lot of stuff on my Sun 21" monitor. I am sure my card an monitor should cope with a bigger resolution. I used to know how to run the configuration program in a terminal :-( Anybody able to remind me. I am not having much success with Google.

Well, that should restore some inodes back to the system at the very
least.

So what I understand is that udev is a great framework, but it hasn't
been sufficiently implemented in user space to be "plug and play"?
Perhaps the desktop projects are working on utilizing it.
I don't like comparing Debian and Windows, but here is an experience
from yesterday. I have an IBM T42 at work without a 3.5" floppy drive,
of course. Since more of these things are showing up, we decided it
might be wise to get a USB floppy. We got it yesterday, new in the
box. I plugged it into the T42 which runs XP, of course, and the OS
picked it right up, assigned it as drive A, and I went right to
formatting a disk in it and copying a file. Didn't even need the
driver CD.
I realize that Debian provides a base and that works like KNOPPIX and
Ubuntu are building on Debian to provide a more user centric
distribution. But, this USB stuff is so basic that it should "just
work". If Windows isn't confused and can distinguish between a USB
floppy and assign it as A and then I can install my Lexar Jump Drive
and it can figure out that it's different and assign it as E and then I
can attach my portable CD/DVD RW drive and assign it as F, we in the
Linux community should be able to do that as well with minimal hassle.
On the other hand, I just yanked the Jump Drive while a file manager
had it open and that has apparently caused a major problem. I have
error boxes popping open and diagnostic information coming up, so in
that regard, I know that Linux is much more robust.
Right now I have some custom Hotplug scripts for my Jump Drive and my
camera. They are a kludge, but they get the job done.

Cyrus maibox restore
Hi all, I had to reload my notebook, and now I'm trying to restore my mail. I had cyrus-imap running before. I made a tarball of the whole /var/spool/cyrus directory, and restored that after reloading. Then I logged into cyradm as user cyrus and ran: reconstruct user.hansdp It didn't change much, cyrus would still only see my inbox, none of the subfolders. I'm obviously doing this wrongly. What is the correct way to restore a cyrus mailbox? Thanks Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
