A perfectly reasonable consideration.  To determine whether to start
online, Evo must use some GNOME feature that's not being activated
when under KDE.

gconf elements are manipulated with /usr/bin/gconf-editor and stored
in ~/.gconf.

I guess it all depends on how much negativity you imbue into the

IOW, you certainly *can* do it, but it's definitely sub-optimal,
since it's a deeply GNOME-only app.  "Things" would run smoother if

Kmail is already in use and Evolution was chosen for business purposes 
because it is an integrated suite, with calendar, tasks, and email. 
Unfortunately, Icedove (T-Bird) doesn't have that level of integration

The knack is knowing exactly *which* gconf element it is that needs to

At present, Debian supports PowerPc. Have you check the BTS for possible
issue? What have you had issues with? If everyone who had a PPC did not
participate in its upkeep, there will be none. So if you want it
supported, do give Debian a change to help. Just a thought.

Hi David,
I think you might want to ask your question on the 'debian-mentors' list
as its a list for beginning people seeking packaging advice. Also, there is the
'debian-devel' list, but its for people asking question about debian
developement which includes packaging.
although someone here may be able to help you as well.

Did the syntax for a samba /etc/fstab entry change?

I have the following line in my /etc/fstab:

I only mount this drive every once in a while when I want to share

My concern is not for corruption of the server.  My concern is whether
-- if I employ on the server the same password and passphrase which I
employ on the desktop (my principal machine) -- compromise of the
server necessitates that I change the password and the passphrase on
the desktop machine.

In other words, if I were to give you free access to my server, so
that you could inspect all the system files, would you be able to
deduce the password and passphrase, which are the same as those which
I use on the desktop machine?

I'd like to them try to get their licensing fee out of *real* Jaguars
reproducing the natural way...  I think they are mainly concentrating on human

Of course there is the car called Jaguar...

Same username is a convenience, account passwords need not be the
same, and if you gpg-genkey then distribute that key to each host's
~/.ssh, you'll ssh-add once for each sshd you subsequently make
requests of.

If the server's compromised, you should reinstall.  Same thing you do
with penicillin these days; finish it and wipe out even the last
vestiges of the bug that infected you.  Using ssh means conversations
between boxes are encrypted, so no one's going to sniff passwords from
your traffic.  Disable sshd password logins, insisting it use crypto
keys for authentication instead.

As long as you've no keylogger running on the box where you ssh-add
(or gpg-genkey), I can't see how anyone's going to come close to
breaking in, assuming the rest of the system's been sufficiently
policed.  You're not running daemons you don't need, and you watch the
ones you do, yes?

tldp.org

Kerberos, SELinux, tripwire, portknocker, ...  Or, unplug it, put it
in a locked vault, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

If you have good backups, why worry about it?  Reinstall's minutes
away.

DRI not working with latest lenny

[Lindsay Powles]

I recently updated lenny to pick up the new 2.6.24 kernel. Since then DRI is 
not working for me:

(II) intel(0): [drm] DRM interface version 1.0
(II) intel(0): [drm] drmSetBusid failed (8, pci::00:02.0), Permission denied
(EE) intel(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.

I've checked dmesg for DRM working, and it is. I've also made sure permissions 
are ok, and they are. So I'm thinking it might be the problem people have 
reported with the i915 kernel module being compiled with a different version of 
gcc than the kernel itself.

Is there an easy way to just recompile the i915 module (ala module-assistant 
method) without having to download the entire kernel source?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

I guess it all depends on how much negativity you imbue into the

IOW, you certainly *can* do it, but it's definitely sub-optimal,
since it's a deeply GNOME-only app.  "Things" would run smoother if
you ran a slightly-Gtk app like Icedove, and totally smoothly if you
ran the KDE MUA KMail.

But as far as your original question, I would not be surprised if a
gconf element needs to be set.

As I said before, it's the uswsusp package. it's trying to resume a
suspended system, but it can't find the volume which claims to hold
the resume image. You can either purge uswsusp, or if you want to keep
it around, at least point it to your swap partition so it can look for
and fail to find a resume image. Then it should at least gracefully
fail and allow a seemingly normal boot. Look in your
/etc/uswsusp.conf and set the resume device properly. Then rebuild
your initrd's with update-initramfs -u.

Essentially, what is happening is uswsusp is looking for some
partition on which it thinks it could find a resume image. But that
partition apparently doesn't exist and rather than do a normal boot on
a system that might have been suspended, thus risking file system
damage, it's doing the smart thing and asking you what it should
do. If you specift that partition properly in /etc/uswsusp.conf then
it will find that partition, confirm that there is no resume image
there and then proceed with a normal boot.

Cheers Rob. The machine in question isn't running any network-manager. I 
disabled it sometime back, so unless I have overlooked it, I really 
don't think that that would be the problem.

Yes! That was it. It was a typo, and correcting it lets me now use the

Think I solved it:

sudo hdparm -A1 -d1 /dev/hda
sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda

Actually, I think it's just the 2nd line that does it, but at the same time 
for different issues I added the first line to the script that I run right 
after booting. Seems fine now. I'm not sure why this didn't work the first 
time I tried it. The only thing I can think of that might be relevant is that 
I did a re-install of my os (etch) about two months ago, from an os 
(half-assed etch) that had numerous problems from a defective installation. 

Thanks for the help,

Huh? I think you might be using the wrong distribution. Are you
confusing hacking with configuring?

That depends on the chipset. Maybe look for a laptop without built in
wireless and buy a "supported" pcmcia card?

There are some websites which can help you decide whether a particular
laptop has any gotchas with Linux, google on "laptop linux"

iceape and mutt store mail in different locations, so unless you set up
imap mixing mutt and iceape will only add to the problems.

Can you *please* post the contents of your .muttrc?

Also as root, can you *please* post the output of:

postconf -n

Strange problem when using two monitors (dual view) with Xorg

[Adrian Christiansen]

I've been trying to make my brand new second hand tft work as a second
monitor to my Ibm Thinkpad T23.
The Thinkpad T23 has S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (xorg does support duaview
with this chip).
My Thinkpad got the latest bios updates, I'm running latest X.org found in
unstable (1:7.3+10).

The problem is, if I start Iceweasel on the external monitor, it will crash.
You can't use the keyboard (NumLock button doesn't work), but pressing the
power button will cause Linux to power off, the screens are black.
And if I display images with feh, I get weird noises, the same when I set
the background. If I play movies with mplayer, I can't play them in full
screen, only the original size. These problems occur only on the external
screen. The internal lcd is just as usual.

I took a screenshot, and uploaded it onto flickr, the noise is seen here.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2117/2382485843_04abea007a_o.jpg

I've been looking around trying to find any help, but I don't really know
what to look after.
Anyone heard about this problem?

This is my X.org config:

Starting Evolution with work-online enabled

[andy]

If one starts Evolution from the KDE kicker (as opposed to from the CLI) 
it always starts off-line. I've reviewed as many docs on Evolution as I 
can find, but cannot see anything that would enable me to configure it 
so that it starts on-line. Has anyone ever been able to set this up in 
such a way to work on-line when it starts up?


TIA

Re: Unable to switch from ipw3945 to iwl3945

[David Jantzen]

Thanks for the help Andrew.  I ran iwconfig wlan0 and see:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"dorkyduck"  
  Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point:
Not-Associated

This is after manually setting the essid and WEP key.  I'm able to scan

point.  What else would need to be set?

Thanks,

I have an older model, VGN-N11S and it works fine, but it heavily
depends on the model. What you need is a somewhat recent kernel for
stuff like the backlight.
At least in my toaster wireless works fine too (with the
iwl-module). The driver is in the kernel, what you do need is the
firmware though.

No, the router only passes packages along, in the same sub-net it is
only acting as a hub (actually, like a switch.)

However, I see 192.168.0.3 (zero) in /etc/hosts_allow, and 169.168.1.3
(one) in the hosts file. If this is not a typo, could as well be the
cause.

Yes, if I got those files wrong, I'd be in serious trouble. In
hosts.deny I have simply:

  ALL: ALL

which I understand denies all hosts access except those mentioned in
hosts.allow. In hosts.allow I have:

ALL:LOCAL

My /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost

192.168.1.4 teufel.hartford-hwp.com teufel
192.168.1.3 langhans.hartford-hwp.com  langhans

In the hosts.allow, I list simply the laptop that I would like to use as
a SSH client, not the shared rounter, as you will note. Should I have
listed the router instead of langhans (the laptop)?

What does 'mount /dev/hda3' print when executed as root? If it looks
like an error, what are the last few lines from 'dmesg'?

can you mount it from the command line?

and doesn't 'noauto' means what it says?

  noauto: Can  only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the -a
option will not cause the file sys-
 tem to be mounted).

server security :: user accounts, ssh, passphrases, etc.

[Russell L. Harris]

SYSTEM: 

(1) firewall/router (SmoothWall Express 2.0) which (using NAT)
provides and protects both a "green" zone for a LAN and an
"orange" zone ("DMZ") for a publicly-accessible server

(2) ftp or http server in the DMZ

(3) desktop machine in the LAN from which the sysop maintains the
server

SITUATION: 

It is convenient to use "scp" for transferring files between the
desktop machine in the LAN and the server, and to use "ssh" for
remote maintenance of the server, again from the desktop machine
in the LAN.  And to eliminate the constant typing of password,
ssh-agent can be installed.

Such remote maintenance of the server from a machine in the LAN
becomes tedious unless there is on each machine an account with
the same username, password, and passphrase.

QUESTION:  

Is there a major or unreasonable security risk if the sysop
creates on the server an account with the same username, password,
and passphrase as his account on the desktop machine?  That is, if
the server is compromised, should the sysop change his password,
passphrase, etc.?

If so, what is the recommended alternative?  Is there a HOWTO on
this subject?

The last line is the key. While I cannot say for certain the cause, I'd
check the /etc/hosts_allow and /etc/hosts_deny files to see if they are
allowing ssh access.

Debian package installation

Hi,

I want the service to start every time my computer boots up. 

Does it have to fire up also straight after I install the package?

Sony VAIO support, anyone have experience?

[Noah Slater]

Hello,

I am wanting to buy a new laptop primarily to move away from PowerPC so that my
machine is better supported by a default Debian installation.

I really like the look of the VAIOs but wanted to know if anyone has any
feedback on how well supported they are. I don't want to be patching kernels or
hacking my xorg to get things running smoothly.

Wireless would be nice too, preferably without using non-free software.

Tom,

It's time to take a step back and decide what you want your mail system
to do and then design an implementation that will do it.  I don't think
chasing wierd behavior will get you from here to there.  I suspect you
copied and pasted some complex Postfix configuration when something
simpler would have served you better.

But just in case I'm wrong, why not tell Postfix not to use Procmail?

Eduardo, I did this:

I have never created a procmailrc.  I have started reading the man page

Enabling DMA with new MB

After  my old far-eastern MB died, replaced with an "aopen" MB with a somewhat

Went through all the BIOS setups. A master-DMA can be enabled but the DMA on 
the IDEs seems unavailable. Have it all "auto" -- BIOS choices for the IDEs 
are "auto", p0, p1, p2 , p3, p4 and udma "auto" or disabled. Hdparm will not 
allow -d1 either.

/etc/pam.d/*: include vs @include

[shaul Karl]

  As far as I can tell, the documentation mention
`include' while the actual configuration files use
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
Does include and @include interchangeable? Does the

A look at the KDE bug tracker at Debian reveals that this is a bug in
the arts suite.  I've sorted this by adding "testing-proposed-updates"
to my apt.sources list, and updating.  The following packages were
updated;

arts (1.5.9-1)  to 1.5.9-1lenny1
libarts1c2a (1.5.9-1)   to 1.5.9-1lenny1

With that sshd running in debug mode in port  (or any other), try

ipw3945 wireless gnome-network-manager

[Chris Bannister]

Hi,

Thought this might be handy for someone.


- Forwarded message from Stuart Prescott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -

User-Agent: KMail/1.9.7
From: Stuart Prescott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:10:14 +
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: wireless puzzle, Lenovo T60, 2.6.24


Hi Jim,

This is an increasingly common occurrence as people are migrating from the 
etch kernel with the horrendously non-free ipw3945 driver to the shiny new 
iwlwifi driver that is in the Debian kernels as of 2.6.23.

The cure is to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and remove the 
line that is associating your wireless device with the ipw3945 driver.

Further instructions are at:

http://www.nanonanonano.net/linux/debian/ipw2iwl

or

http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi#head-c9ab967d827d9e5de52656b78edab5f349bc70f6

>udev: renamed network interface wmaster0 to wlan

BTW you don't want to rename wmaster0 -- just leave that one as it is. The 
device to use is the wlan0 device.

For anyone else who is curious, it seems that network-manager doesn't like the 
wlan0_rename device and refuses to work with it. Fixing up 
your /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file will allow 
network-manager to once again manage your wireless device.

cheers
Stuart

Ummm, you send mail between users, not mailboxes.
What is the output of your .muttrc?
What is the output of your .procmailrc?
or

:-)

Look at http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html

Search for xmms -- there are a few pointers to bug reports.

Also see what: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=xmms&sev-inc=critical&sev-inc=grave&sev-inc=serious

has to say.

Also there is a link which answers the question, "why is this package
not in testing yet" which  unfortunately I don't have off the cuff[1], 
but if you are running testing then you should at least know about them.

[1] Hopefully google will bring up the answer.

Sounds like Redhat + the db2 guys are hand in glove.

Does a search on google with, e.g, db2 Debian, as the search terms bring
up any thing interesting, or even db2 linux

Or probably even better: db2 linux shmmax :-)

I use Firefox's (Iceweasel's) "Save As..." feature. That can save text,

I'm using a Z61M, which is pretty similar to the T61, I think. I tried
the stock Debian kernel 2.6.24 plus firmware-iwlwifi from Sid but
although the wireless card does seem to be recognized  it doesn't
connect. I spent several days wrestling with it but gave up in the end
and stayed with the older kernel.

If one shouldn't need to restart debian for the purging of
hal-device-manager to take effect, should I have run /etc/init.d/hal
restart ?

That seems reasonable...


When I see weird behavior of KDE with respect to devices (this happens
only very rarely), I do this:

- log out/close the KDE session
- restart udev
- restart dbus (which, among other things, restarts hal)
- log in/start KDE again

More generally speaking, you can use "checkrestart" from the
"debian-goodies" package to find out which services need to be restarted
after upgrades or other library-related changes to your system.



Thanks, I've just installed debian-goodies.

I filed a bug report on hal (#473755) that hal-device-manager should be 
listed as a "conflicts" item.


Regards,

Arthur.
