If that's not enough, they offer documentation for offline use at [1]. Personally, I prefer to use the Debian packaged documentation whenever possible, since it usually more closely matches the version included in Debian. If upstream is very active with documentation, like PHP or PostgreSQL, then they keep the online docs very up to date. Thus, they may not exactly match what is installed if you are using the Debian packages.

You are right, its my very private kernel :-) Doesn't this older iptables know where to look for its features in newer kernels then? Maybe I'll just wait for Etch ... ;-) Or maybe I will compile another kernel, tell it to make hashlimit as a module and put the .so into /lib/ directly, although that would be kind of desperate...

Thank you, Sven and Andrew. Using audacity and the default input worked, as soon as I started checking that the Capture channel was enabled. If anyone wants to try the same, check the Capture channel, and often. It seems to be disabled all the time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hey, I was recently connecting from one host to another via ssh, and the remote host's host key had changed.

Unless you wrote the cron script yourself, you should probably report the bug. If /etc/cron.daily/aide is a bash script (starts with "#! /bin/bash"), and onexit is being called on lines 61 or 117 and being defined on 135, it is definitely an error in the script itself and nothing you are doing. -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Be aware that the default rate limited reject policy can be better. Even for blocking 80 / 443 this is why some places use proxy's cause you block everything else but allow the proxy.

Not totally correct. A firewall is only as good as the traffic that is permitted to flow across it. If you want to block something from phoning home then yes you can block outbound traffic as well. Typically firewalls are as good as the person who set them up and what is permitted to flow across the firewall. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

At this point, you might be better to move to "testing/Etch" which is about to become stable. Unstable changes radically and the pace of software change may mean many MB per night: it's not economic to build Unstable DVD's even weekly. Testing is currently settling down immediately prior to release : once it's released, the pace of updates will be slow and manageable. Most of what you need is on the first DVD of any Debian set - therefore all you need is a 4.4GB download. > I found some German sites offering Debian sid DVD-s but for ~$35.

So its not the cache, and I do not run a proxy. I can't quite believe that. If you do a request for a file with mode 000, does it appear in the access log? Do you use special php modules that cache the compiled scripts? Do you use fastcgi?

Text on printed pages truncated
Whenever I print text, html or pdf files from either Konqueror or Firefox, the text starts so close to the top of each page that the first line either does not get printed, or only part of it is printed. Is there a way to adjust the printing to have the text start say 8-10 mm further down the page? I did find in various printer preference windows an option to vary printer margins. However changing these margins has no effect. I have looked everywhere I can think of for guidance in solving this problem but could find nothing relevant.

Now if only ATI or NVidia could employ someone of his calibre... From here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon it seems that the ATI chipsets are supported by FOSS drivers (with 3D acceleration) up to the Radeon X850. X1300 and above only support 2D graphics at this point, unless you use the proprietary drivers from ATI. My experience with the ATI drivers is that they have improved a lot over the last couple of years, and the installation is certainly much better. The downloadable drivers will let you create a Debian package to install from, though you have to pass it a magic command-line switch to do so. The fglrx-driver package in Debian is the proprietary one, right? So, is the V5200 or V5250 supported by the xorg driver? Personally I have a Radeon X600, so am just as happy to use the FOSS drivers nowadays. In the future I will probably be looking for Intel based graphics in my next laptop because of the cool stuff I have seen Keith demonstrating and talking about, such as seamless desktop expansion when you plug in a second monitor. > >From what I see on thinkwiki.org, none of the three ATI chipsets > listed here "just work", but the Intel ones do, without any > proprietary drivers.

I have successfully swapped the HD for the DVD, and vice-versa, but it hasn't always worked for me. Other things too, like whether DMA is enabled on the swapped in device and stuff has not always worked for me. Mind you, I haven't checked this since about 2.6.14 or so - things may have improved.

Hello, I have a script which contains iptables's commands and which works fine as firewall, but I encounter a problem with the log: in /var/log/kern.log I get a tone of lines of this type: Jan 8 18:25:25 nameofmybox kernel: Inbound IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:e:4c:8:3:1:00:07:cb:31:9c:71:08:00 SRC= A.B.C.D DST=E.F.G.H LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=41 ID=57486 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=3910 DPT=445 WINDOW=53760 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=16 ( A.B.C.D and E.F.G.H are some addresses ... ) When I am in command line these lines are displayed continously and it is impossible to work. (the problem doesn't happen on xwindow on an xterm ) The problem stops if I comment four lines of the script. the four lines: # iptables -A LSI -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m limit --limit 1/sec -j LOG --log-prefix "Inbound " --log-level 6 # iptables -A LSI -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK RST -m limit --limit 1/sec -j LOG --log-prefix "Inbound " --log-level 6 # iptables -A LSI -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -m limit --limit 1/sec -j LOG --log-prefix "Inbound " --log-level 6 # iptables -A LSI -m limit --limit 5/sec -j LOG --log-prefix "Inbound " --log-level 6 ( LSI is a chain created by a user) however, I think that these lines give interesting informations and I would like to know how to keep them, but without that my file kern.log grows inordinately.

E.g. automobile > stuff, Mars rover, pacemakers (water cooled at 38 C). The OP I think > was talking about a regular consumer-grade computer so I limited my > focus to that. While your rule of thumb is certainly safe, it's overly conservative. Here's some explanation. Integrated circuits today come in a few general temperature ranges: commercial 0 to +70 degrees industrial -40 to +85 degrees automotive -40 to +125 degrees military -55 to +125 degrees These temperature ranges refer to the ambient temperatures of the chip environment, which means the air and circuit board temperatures. It is not the package (case) temperature that you mentioned. Regardless of the ambient temperature rating, the operating limit is 125 degrees junction (die) temperature for silicon. Below this temperature, the failure rate is temperature dependent and roughly doubles for each ten degree increase in junction temperature. While every application has different reliability and operating life requirements, most applications can tolerate junction temperatures of 110 degrees for smaller packages. Manufacturers normally select IC packages to give a junction to ambient temperature difference of around 20 degrees. This gives a maximum case temperature of around 100 degrees and an ambient temperature of 90 degrees. For commercial grade parts, the limit is 70 degrees ambient for the package, so case temperature might be 80 degrees. You shouldn't operate at the limit, but there's no problem with a 60-70 degree case temperature for many applications. This takes some care, but it is not unusual in scientific and industrial equipment. Large scale integrated circuits that dissipate a lot of power are a different matter. These chips are more failure prone because of several factors. The primary reason is that there are so many I/O connections that the probability of a single failure is much higher at a given junction temperature. You use heat sinks to limit the junction to ambient temperature difference and keep the ambient temperature somewhat lower than for the smaller packages. Still, it is overkill to require that case temperatures never exceed 50 degrees. > How can a laboratory environment of 40 C be called benign? I conk out > at 28 C. So do I, but we're soft :) Equipment is still expected to work in a rack, where temperatures are higher than in the room, or in a closet with less than ideal airflow. Laboratories often don't have high-capacity cooling systems with backups. And as Hugo points out, air conditioning is terribly expensive in some places and may not be reliable even when present. -- Seth Goodman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have the ISP account anyway (is included with the internet access) so I didn't worry about it. Another hack would be to use two gmail accounts. One for sending and one for receiving. The point is to not let gmail associate the sent mail (the posting) with the received mail from the list because it considers them to be duplicate (though they are not). Care has to be taken as gmail won't let you change the From: address, so the posting address (account) will be the one that shows up in the archives. A more primitive hack is to configure your MUA to save outgoing mail to the same folder. This way you can still follow the thread correctly, but you have to check in the archives if your message reached the list.

Re: Can I change motherboard without reinstal ling sarge
Since the original problem appears to be a hang shortly after attempting to read the BIOS, I kinda doubt that this trick will work. The poster stated that attempting to boot Sarge, "it" says BIOS check fails. I wonder if this is the BIOS itself, and Debian isn't even in the picture yet? I'd suggest getting a Live CD or Debian Rescue CD or even a floppy and see if you can get your system to boot a Linux system (or DOS, heaven forbid, though FreeDOS is a good alternative) at all. You should also run your BIOS setup program and verify that it's correctly configured for the motherboard/hard disks/etc. that you in fact have available. Bob Douglas Tutty wrote: On Sun, Jan 07, 2007 at 10:04:34AM +0800, a wrote: I change motherboard, sarge refuse to boot, it says BIOS check fails I used debian before (woody, potato...) there's no such problem Do I have to re-install sarge? If the old and new motherboards are identical there should be no problem. If they differ but are for the same port (eg. i386) and you are using a stock debian kernel, then the kernel should boot. Try using init=/bin/sh kernel parameter. This lets you focus on the kernel, does it find the root partition, can it mount it ro and find /bin/sh? If you get a shell, then you know that the kernel works and you can work the problem from that point. Once you get that far, try using the kernel parameter single to take you directly to single user mode. From that you can work on what modules you may need loaded for your new hardware. This procedure lets you narrow down where a problem lies. If you get stuck you can copy out what you get on the screen and send it here asking for more specific help.

Yes, I knew that. But then when I need to install something new (and I do from time to time) I end up needing to download lots of MB (one package depends on other, and so on...) Not practical on dial-up. And I can not bother my friend every time, or take my desktop to a coffee shop (and they do not have Internet connection where I am). So the most practical is to download everything once a year, or, as I found now, ask someone to download and burn DVD-s for me for a small fee (check here http://www.discountlinuxdvd.com/debian.htm 4 DVD set for just $7.00). I asked this guy, and he is willing to download and burn DVD-s for me. I just have to mail him a link where from he can download Debian sid. | however, you can download the jigdo files for testing from here: | http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/#which | | (you will also find a description on how to do it there) I know about jigdo, I used it last year, but now whoever was responsible for creating .jigdo and .template files for unstable / sid stopped updating files: ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid-dvd/jigdo/ I found some German sites offering Debian sid DVD-s but for ~$35. So it is possible to get sid, and I am just asking here if anyone knows how to do that. -- ___ /__/ /\ ** Registrovani korisnik Linuksa #291606 ** / / \/ /\ \ ** Registered Linux user #291606 ** /__/\/--\__\** http://counter.li.org/ ** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The main advantage of gmail or any web based program is that the user will be able to access the email from anywhere on earth (as long as he has internet connection). If he has to use some other SMTP server, then it beats the purpose doesnt it?

Subscription/unsubscription info for debian-devel-announce mailing list can be found at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/ I believe Etch will be released when the developers think it is stable enough and when the R-C bug count drops down close to 0. According to http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ there are currently 109 RC bugs concerning the next release.

You cannot make XFS shrink, only grow. However, this does not prevent you from using it on LVM. You just can't make the logical volumes any smaller, only larger. Out of curiousity, why XFS? Why not ext3? XFS has some nice features for snapshotting and freezing filesystems, which is why many people often use it together with databases. Out of curiosity, many people claim that ext3 can be resized live but I seam to remember that it requires you to run e2fsck prior to doing the resizing i.e. e2fsck -f /dev/group/volume resize2fs /dev/group/volume I might be wrong on this but isn't it a requirement that e2fsck is run with the filesystem unmounted ? which is not exactly what I associate with being online. On xfs you can always use the xfs_growfs command to enlarge a fs, no matter what state it is in (except corrupted). -- Lars Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Does XFS work with LVM?
Roberto C. Sanchez wrote: mke2fs(8) (which is what you get when you run 'man mkfs.ext3'), states: -m reserved-blocks-percentage Specify the percentage of the filesystem blocks reserved for the super-user. This avoids fragmentation, and allows root-owned daemons, such as syslogd(8), to continue to function correctly after non-privileged processes are prevented from writing to the filesystem. The default percentage is 5%. So, the default is 5%, and you can make it as small or as large as you want. Incidentally, that is a *good* thing, since it prevents a rouge unprivileged process from crashing the system by filling the disks with crap. I think I tried that option, too. Of course, you are more than welcome to use reiserfs, JFS, or XFS. However, reiserfs, from my understanding, has its own set of issues and JFS and XFS are best left to "experts" or at least to people who know what they are doing. For example, please read these two threads about XFS: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2005-06/msg00155.html http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/6/29/10 I recommend also http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-unix-reiserFS/index.html http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388 People had problems with reiserfs, but that was long ago. It is true that traditionaly ext3 is most reliable, but now reiserfs has data=journal option that seems to improve reliability, as it states, in the case of disaster, but also reduces write speed. I myself am using reiserfs on all both my machines. On my desktop computer since 2004 (a few months xfs), and on router since feb-2006. Router is always on, and last year I had at least 50 power failures, and no single problem. I would like to mention that there is always writing to the drive. Also, while I used xfs, there was one situation, but it was repaired with fsck. My friend has similar configuration. He had serious damage on power failure which he mostly managed to recover from, but on that drive also appeared bad sectors. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
