If that software is filesystem agnostic, it will obviously require you to wipe out the ext4 filesystem to copy the saved ext3 filesystem back. As we said already, you can then upgrade the ext3 filesystem to ext4. Alternatively, you can find a way to mount the image with a loop device in order to copy the files from the saved filesystem to the new ext4 filesystem. Since you're using proprietary software, I must note that you might have a hard time with this alternative solution. You should get better help from that software developer. -t -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: installing a second hard disk?
>Are you saying you took a copy of the partition using something like dd >if=/dev/sdXy of=/mnt/removeable-media/a-file-on this-media or did you >just copy the files? Thanks for your interesting suggestions; however, they reflect a considerable knowledge. In my case, I'm using a proprietary imaging software based on the Linux kernel that offers images made of one's whole hard drive or by way of an options menu, a list of individual partitions. My 'working system' is on one partition, sda1 and I've made a backup copy of this partition that is compressed into an 8GB kingston USB stick. I had this notion that after the hard drive was reformatted with ext4 I could boot up with the .iso Linux image that comes with the proprietary software and rebuild the partition by using the above backup. I've had to use this on a few occasions to rebuild my 'working system' after certain sid dist-upgrades were performed. I'm happy to report this doesn't happen as much now as in the recent past. My question was since this backup is on an ext3 formatted USB stick, if my hard drive was reformatted with ext4, could the backup [image] on the USB stick be 'copied' back to the new ext4 partition, without problems, as it were. thanks, -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

newly installed KDE: don't want Nautilus window when USB memory inserted
On a newly installed KDE on a Testing system, I notice that when I connect a USB flash stick memory, it automatically opens in a Nautilus window. On the previously installed system, the Nautilus window did not open and only the removable device notifier for KDE popped up a message saying that a memory stick has been inserted. I could then click on the memory's icon and it would then open in dolphin browser. How do I get this behavior back (and prevent the Nautilus browser from automatically opening)?

why don't scanner permissions get assigned correctly ?
My scanner, a very old epson, shows up in dmesg:
Processor EPSONGT-9700 1.03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
scsi 11:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 3
I checked /lib/udev/rules and in the libsave rules there is a match:
# Epson Perfection 2450 | Epson GT-9700F | Epson Perfection 2450 PHOTO
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0112", MODE="0664",
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
The problem is that sg1 is not getting assigned to group scanner.
?
What would be just great is if there was a udev log file somewhere
which contained messages about which rule was matched and what was done.
This information is supposed to be in syslog, and probably consists of
the above message. The problem, of course, is that it's not doing what
it says it should be doing.
Thanks.

Why is that strange? The official documentation for GNU projects is texinfo documentation. It has been this way for a very long time. Since grub is a GNU package I expect it to follow the GNU guidelines. With GNU it is all about the source. Debian on the other hand requires man pages. And therefore Debian for the most part provides man pages. But sometimes that is difficult when there aren't any upstream.

Re: web client openvpn
Jesus arteche wrote: > Can anyone tell me if a web client for openvpn or another vpn server > exists...or something like a firefox plugin that makesthe user doesnt > install an aplication for using the vpn? A web client for OpenVPN doesn't really make sense to me. OpenVPN creates a system level encrypted network connection. It joins networks together. But a browser is a userland appliance. It wouldn't have the permission to do anything outside at the system level. That would require reaching out of the sandbox. Also, if you are asking if you could do something inside the browser only then the browser already supports https protocol with SSL connections. Those are already encrypted connections. The client side browser already has full support for all of this. On the other hand you may be asking if there is a server side module that could be created on a system so that you could use your web browser to connect in a way similar to ssh or something to provide access? Those do exist but I don't use them myself and so don't know of one to suggest off the top of my head. Also, depending upon what you are trying to do you might be able to use one of the userland fusefs applications. Using sshfs for example you can mount another host's filesystem on the local machine. You can browse files, edit files, and mostly full access, all over the secure ssh connection and all in userland. $ apt-cache show sshfs Description: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol sshfs is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

'reset' should work. It sends an escape sequence to the terminal emulator that triggers it to initialize itself. But the terminal already needs to be in a relatively sane operating mode in order to enter and invoke it. If it isn't, then it won't. > Sometimes it won't recognize CR either, but I have found that ^J > (Control-J) always works in those cases. In that case "^Jreset^J" > should work. Hmm... Those address problems with the tty driver being configured with output post processing disabled, echo turned off, raw mode turned on, etc. AFAIK it isn't possible to get into that state by "bad output" to the console. I read bad output and think that someone did something such as 'cat /bin/sh' or some such and the binary characters to the terminal confused the terminal emulator. (It is almost always a terminal emulator these days. How many people use an actual hardware terminal anymore? [If you feel compelled to answer, please do so in another thread. :-) ]) Therefore I reason that if it is an unusable terminal state due to binary output to the terminal then I think the solution must require some reset of the terminal emulator.

That often means that binary characters were sent to the terminal (such as from 'cat /bin/sh' or some such) and the terminal interpreted that splat of binary data as an escape sequence and did whatever those commands told it to do. This often leaves a terminal emulator in a bad state. Since you didn't say what terminal emulator you were using I could only guess at a standard one and speculatively propose a solution in that case. For KDE's terminal or GNOME's terminal I am sure that each has its own unique way of doing a terminal emulator reset. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: IPtables localhost redirect

I have tried with iptables many rules, but no one seams good for the task. Any idea? This picture shows the netfilter traffic flow: http://jengelh.medozas.de/images/nf-packet-flow.png Source address selection is done before the OUTPUT path. Locally generated packets NEVER hit the PREROUTING chain in mangle or nat table. There is a routing decision after the mangle table OUTPUT chain. But you cannot do address translation there (like in nat OUTPUT). What you can do, is MARK packets in the mangle table, and refer to this mark with iproute2 (ip rule add fwmark 0x1 lookup table custom_table) - this is called "policy based routing". So from looking at the picture and from the theory I know, theoretically something like this could work: echo "101 custom_table" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables fill the table with appropriate routes: ip route add table custom_table ... ... mark in mangle table: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 5432 -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 dnat in nat table: iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -m mark --mark 0x1 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.113 snat in nat table: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 0x1 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.1? add iproute rule: ip rule add fwmark 0x1 lookup custom_table I've done all this for testing and I did not succeed. I also did: echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter not sure if that interacts. I then put a trace rule: iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 5432 -j TRACE The resulting log always ended in the nat table's OUTPUT chain. I don't know why acutally, from the picture (which is from a developer) it should hit nat POSTROUTING. I'm telling you this, so you could eventually try and maybe you have more luck than me, or maybe the information is otherwise useful. However maybe it's not possible, I can't tell for sure. I would have done some ssh tunneling myself in the first place. But I know there are people at the netfilter mailing list, who do know for sure. It's in general the best place to ask netfilter related questions. Best regards Mart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

What system are you using, > which shell? I do believe You - recently I had another strange experience and again w/ bash's 'if' construction like this: if [ "$a" == --help ] - in one Debian 5 it worked, another - not! I use Debian 5 mixture of stable and testing - all updated up-to-day. Both users use /bin/bash version 3.2-4. > Is this other user's path really getting set? Is 'abc' executable and No. And here the question arises, Why? As I do understand the su manual. it says that option '-l' helps to load his (another_user's ENV). > is the content runable (in other words, if it's a script and it begins > with '#!/bin/bash', is bash really in /bin, or if it's binary, is the > binary runable for the system you're on)? Yes, it is executable - it runs just fine if I do: su - another_user and then in its shell run the abc w/o specifying the path and the abc is not in CWD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: console: turning to the primary state.

I was speaking about KDE's console (that are shown with ps output as pts/N) and also normal console (that are shown with ps output as ttyM). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: A "magical" HDD formatting question.
Thank You for Your time and answer, Andrei: > No. You have to find a way to unmount the partition you want to > format.

I have thought about this too, but the problem is that I have - on the targeted for formatting drive - single partition, and though I can make out of single - two - through some hard work - finally, I will get my reduced partition formatted as needed (w/ ext4 FS) but that small partition will remain - that I have no idea how to use latter nor I want it at all... I can not boot from the USB - I do see the exact option in it menu and dmidecode tells me the same: Boot from CD is supported Selectable boot is supported LS-120 boot is supported ATAPI Zip drive boot is supported BIOS boot specification is supported Boot-up State: Safe I tried all the options in the menu, connecting IDE CD-ROM w/ bootable Debian through IDE-to-USB adapter. - No any effect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
