Re: requirements for xfsm-shutdown-helper

Peter Crawford wrote:

Folk,

A year or two back in Etch, xfsm-shutdown-helper 
with the appropriate entry in /etc/sudoers, allowed 
"Log Out", "Restart" and "Shut Down".  

Now in Lenny, this message is on the console after 
Log Out.
** Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:215: Hal not available or does not permit to 
shutdown/reboot the computer, trying sudo fallback instead.


What should be changed to allow xfsm-shutdown-helper 
to work fully?  Should there be a file /etc/hal.conf 
or /etc/hal/hal.conf?  Are udev rules needed?


  Have you read '/usr/share/doc/xfce4-session/README.Debian'?

=== QUOTE ===
Managing shutdown
-

There are three ways to enable user to shutdown the computer from Xfce:

 - use sudo, and allow user to run /usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper in
   sudoers
 - use dbus and hal
   - hal and dbus should be installed, up and running
   - user should be in powerdev group
 - use policykit and a compatible login manager (gdm is known to work)
=== END QUOTE ===

  Personally, I switched to the hal/dbus method after having used the 
'sudo' method for a while.  Both worked fine, but I decided that 
adding myself to the "powerdev" group made more sense to me than 
needing to grant myself root permissions just to power off.  Opinions 
will vary, of course -- the rest of the Linux world seems to be much 
less suspicious of things like 'su' and 'sudo' than myself.

Well, it's probably not going to be that simple, you'll definitely need to

This sounds as if the service is configured but perhaps not yet started.

Run something like `/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 restart` as root and tell

got psql up.  I tried \i basics.sql in the 
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-doc-8.3 tutorial directory and perfectly useable 
sql queries came up and ran on a weather table several operations for San

Hi Rick,

install on JFFS2?


Also I was wondering if all this what we discussed regarding ext2  
(noatime or relatime option) on USB flash drive holds true for USB

AFAIU USB hard drives are exactly like IDE hard drives with just an  
USB interface. I am assuming that just having ext3 would be fine  
for USB hard drives?


Thanks

I do blog at http://blogs.koolwal.net/


USB hard drives don't have the problem that flash drives do.  They  
are just IDE hard drives with a USB to IDE adapter, so you can write  
to the same block as many times as you like and not wear it out.


In case it's not clear, the problem with using flash (whether USB or  
CF) is that the individual transistors used to store the bits wear  
out after a limited number of writes.  That number is variously  
reported as being as low as 10,000, or as much as 1,000,000 writes  
per transistor.  It's been improving over time as the technology  
matures, and recent thumb drives are also larger, so a 16GB thumb  
drive is probably good for several million writes spread out across  
the entire device, assuming the adaptation layer in the drive is  
doing its job.


If you're using CF instead of USB drives, you don't have the USB  
adaptation layer to spread out the writes.  So JFFS2, or something  
like it, will be desirable for them.  But outside of the embedded  
computing world, using CF directly without an intervening adapter is  
rare.


I can't help you with a HOW-TO for installing to JFFS2.  But I  
understand there is an "embedded Debian" mailing list ("Embeddian"?  
maybe).

init problems

[Maria McKinley]

I have a machine that I am attempting to boot over the network. I have 
compiled a kernel for it, Debian Lenny Linux version 2.6.26, with nfs 
file system and root file system support. For a complete rundown on how 
I have created the setup, please see:


http://www.shadlen.org/~maria/pmwiki/Work/Gpxe

Things work well up until it is time to mount the file system from 
fstab. The mount is not happening because statd is never started, and 
statd is not starting because portmap is not starting. I suspect it is 
related to this bug:


http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/fe95c99e1dbc5aa1

In that discussion some people say that portmap 6.0.9 fixes this for 
them, but this is the version of portmap I am using, and it has not 
fixed it. I have posted to the bug discussion, although weirdly it seems 
to have posted my message as a new thread. What I am wondering is if 
anyone has any other ideas of things to try to get this to work. I did 
try the suggestion of adding ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no to /etc/default/rcS, to no 
avail.


thanks,
maria

Update: I tried installing an earlier version of portmap (etch 5-26), 
and this helped moderately. I now have portmap running, but statd still 
did not start up. It complains that: Opening /var/run/rpc.statd.pid 
failed: Read-only file system. Well, duh, that is why I am trying to get 
statd running! Any way I can start statd without a pid until I get the 
root file system mounted rw? Or something else to try?


thanks,
maria

files only in the case the "update" command is interrupted. But may be something
is wrong with apt-get. Time to file a bug report?


I definitely did this sometimes. Not recently though. I will observe the
 behaviour of aptitude a bit before filing a bug report.

Yep, I found that confusing too. What _I_ was looking for, though
(apologies for the thread hijack), was a way to say: "Don't remove those
unused packages at this time".

Is there an easy way to do that?

My context was that I needed to add a package to a machine that I'm not
the primary admin for, and didn't want to go removing (or
unmarking-auto) packages from a machine I don't fully understand the
purpose of.

In fact, you need some scripting. ivman would help to launch your

Perhaps, you can try to start Wine by ivman.

requirements for xfsm-shutdown-helper

[Peter Crawford]

Folk,

A year or two back in Etch, xfsm-shutdown-helper 
with the appropriate entry in /etc/sudoers, allowed 
"Log Out", "Restart" and "Shut Down".  

Now in Lenny, this message is on the console after 
Log Out.
** Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:215: Hal not available or does not permit to 
shutdown/reboot the computer, trying sudo fallback instead.

What should be changed to allow xfsm-shutdown-helper 
to work fully?  Should there be a file /etc/hal.conf 
or /etc/hal/hal.conf?  Are udev rules needed?

Thanks, ... p. crawford

several webs in teh same apache

[Jesus arteche]

Hello,

I'd like to know how i could redirect several webs to same Apache server,
now what I've got is several webs in the same apache server, and i can
access to them by the following way:


www.midomain.com/web1 --> acces to the web 1


www.midomain.com/web2 --> access to the web 2

...

and i'd like to be that way:



www.web1.midomain.com/ --> access to the web 1

www.web2.midominio.com/ --> access to the 2


The problem is that the 2 webs are in teh same Apache in the same machine
with the same IP, I had tought that i can redirect to the apache by several
ports...by how can i do that and haw can i do that  the client wont see the
port i mean www.web1.mydomain.com:444...i dont want the client see the port.

thanks

gdebi reporting swedish characters wrong?

[Andreas Ronnquist]

Hi

I have created a debian package of a program I am developing, all working fine. 
I make the debian control using SciTE, entering my name as maintainer - but 
then using gdebi-gtk to look on the built package I am listed with the swedish 
characters wrong - how come? Using the simple editor mousepad does also list my 
surname the right way in the control file just as SciTE.

A friend of mine using Ubuntu lists it correctly with the version of gdebi he 
got, so it seems as I've got it right in the control file after all, and gdebi 
is at fault.

Any ideas to why this is?

This is on a fully up to date Lenny machine, using XFCE as desktop.

Re: Who is allowed to help on this list. was: Re: Scim does not work with openoffice -- off-line

[Foss User]

I find the idea that knowing 'sufficient basics' is a requirement to
be able to help others. Most of the times, it is simple configuration
file changes that might be enough to get a software working. One does
not need 'sufficient basics' to tell someone else what configuration
changes he made.

Of course, the person taking the advice might sometimes need
'sufficient basics' to be sure whether that the configuration changes
he would be doing on the advice of someone else, does not turn out to
be fatal or deletes important files or simply grant some wings to the
computer that would fly away from the house.

I have received a lot of help from experts and non-experts and I would
like all the advice flowing in when I face issues.

  The subtext of that statement is the assumption that you are aware
that aptitude always *removes* packages which are not required (unless
you have disabled that).  Since you're the second person to make this
mistake, I probably need to fix that text in the manpage.

100% agree with you - guess I shouldn't type in a hurry. I have used it 
and it worked just fine. I switched to the iptables solution because we 
were developing our own firewall script at the time and it made sense to 
incorporate it and have one less security package to configure and worry 
about. What I liked about the iptables solution was that it cut off the 
hacker after a predetermined number of attempts rather than letting the 
attacks mount and then then pick it up from a log-file scan. However 
fail2ban can also block at the tcpwrappers level so is a bit more 
flexible on how it blocks.

apt-cache show ivman
daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices
 ivman is a daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of HAL. It
 listens to HAL events and reacts with user-configurable
 actions. Currently it supports automount of new media and 
hot-plugged devices, autorun, autoplay for CDs and DVDs, and 
automatic camera management.

From "man aptitude"

--purge-unused
   Purge packages that are no longer required by any installed
package. This is equivalent to passing “-o Aptitude::Purge-Unused=true”
as a command-line argument.

English is not my first language and I understand the above that it
removes packages which are no more required. And this is what the OP
wants.

I think I get it now..
you have to change $EXT to NEW:
/sbin/iptables -A ssh-connection -i NEW -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent

The KDE 4 in experimental is in the process of being updated to 4.2, 
and so you may find odd bits missing for the next day or so, but it will
catch up quite soon.  So if you are not in a blinding hurry (in which case
try the archive) wait until it does install and you will have the latest and
greatest version to play with.

Yup, I am using GNOME. But is it make a difference if I am using

Grr! Sound problems again

[Jan Willem Stumpel]

About a year and a half ago, after a lot of experimentation, I
finally got sound working OK on my Debian Sid system. The solution
turned out to be quite simple. To save others the same trouble, I
put up a kind of "sound instruction" on my website
(http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/dmix.html).

But something must have changed in Sid recently, because sound has
become unreliable again. After I visit a sound-using site like
youtube (let's call this "online sound"), sound will no longer be
heard when playing a stored avi file with gmplayer, for instance
("offline sound"). To play offline sounds I have to kill iceweasel
first (or call /etc/init.d/alsasound restart, which kills
iceweasel as a side effect..).

Well, I know this is Sid, which has this tendency of breaking
things which work by "fixing" them. But normally these things get
"re-fixed" after a few days. This new sound problem has now been
going on for a few weeks. I cannot file a bug report about it
because I have no way to know which program causes the problem.
Any help appreciated.

Regards, Jan

I believe g-t maps scroll actions to  and  keys. Try mapping

This feature is not present in the etch version of g-t. Must have been

Hi,

While it's true that installing ssh is as simple as using aptitude, you
may find useful to know a bit more:

If you use Putty on a windows client:

You can find many other tutorials regarding different aspects of the ssh

There are plenty of good notes, not all Debian specific but the 
configuration is similar:


General setup
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ssh.htm
http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/suse-linux-internals/chapter13.html


Notes on security
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSH

The webmin module for SSH is very good and might help you understand 
what you are doing better.


If you set up a home ssh server and expose it to the internet you will 
get brute force password break in attempts so make sure you restrict who 
can log in very tightly and deny root login access as a minimum. We also 
block connections to our SSH port if someone connects more than a few 
times in a ten minute period.

This will return the architecture of the kernel, but it is possible to

dpkg-architecture will list the architecture that dpkg expects.
