Re: libnss-ldap udev problem

[Marc Franquesa]

Finally I found  that udev needs (in some cases) to resolve its own
hostname (I haven't set the hostname on /etc/hosts).

Putting the hostname in /etc/hosts with this nsswitch.conf configuration
works for the other two hosts. (Despite one of them can boot without
this setup).

Never tried it myself, but, maybe you could look at "hostapd" package.

Looks similar to this Ubuntu bug:

You can try the workaround mentioned there (launch iceweasel with "dbus-

[Zhang Weiwu]

Thanks for all of you. The answer using pv(1) is what I need.

pv is a 'pipe viewer' that display the progress of a command-line pipe.
It might also able to display other pipes. It is new to me that the tool
perform data rate limit task as well.

A brief check shows trickle, as suggested, is a tool for network
bandwidth limit, that might also be useful in cases.

It is clearly something that requires testing on UP, probably on a i486 to
reproduce (otherwise, our kernels would be crashing left and right and we'd
have more reports).  If it cannot be reproduced on an Intel i486 or on AMD's
version of it, then one would actually have to test it on the Vortex86's
version of the 486 core...

This is minor.  The bigger problem with benchmark code from the mid 90s
is that all the floating point code targets the 80 bit x87 FPU and IEEE
754 data precision format.  A realistic FP performance test of modern
x86 CPUs is going to use the 128 bit wide SIMD vector pipelines
(SSE,2,3,4).  The performance difference between the two FPU pipelines
is going to be huge, a factor of 3 at minimum and possibly up to a
factor of 8 or more.  This is because the x87 FPU isn't pipelined and
there are far fewer registers available, and it can't process arrays in
a single instruction.

AFAIK, the first 3 of these you mention haven't been updated in well
over a decade.  BYTE Magazine ceased publication in 1998.  The modern
versions of LINPACK do take advantage of the SIMD pipelines in modern
x86(64) CPUs so they are valid tests today.  The TOP 500 project uses
parallel LINPACK results to rank the 500 fastest supercomputers in the
world twice yearly, and the bulk of those systems use x86-64 CPUs.

The SPEC CPU tests at http://www.spec.org are the "default" industry
standard for measuring CPU performance, however, the code is not open
source, and a fee is required AFAIK to get access to it.

If you're really wanting to get real comparable performance numbers for
your CPU, I'd suggest you simply browse the SPEC CPU results pages
instead of attempting to run benchmarks on your system.  There are
results published from multiple vendors systems for many/most CPU models.

http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/cpu2006.html

(note:  the above page is large and may take a while to load)

For Acrobat Reader I can't tell -I do not use it nor have it installed,

The only problem with old code is that it might not compile with
modern GCC.  In which case you fix it and run the test.  You might
also have to enlarge the data set so that it doesn't all sit in the
dcache.

Otherwise, the Byte Unix Benchmark, Dhrystone, Whetstone&  LINPACK
are as (in)valid today as they were 30 years ago.



Thanks for the reply Ron.

I've two problems with that.

First, I'm not as good on C to change the code.
I'm not sure if it stress multiples cores on one CPU.



Run multiple simultaneous benchmarks?


May be doing some test. Rendering a blender image?

I don't.  But then I'm just a home desktop user.

I noticed the "fonts settings" control in GNOME, but this doesn't pass
the DPI to other programs that check the system DPI setting, such as
Adobe Reader.

Darn, maybe I shouldn't have mistyped libopensync0. When trying to

The only problem with old code is that it might not compile with 
modern GCC.  In which case you fix it and run the test.  You might 
also have to enlarge the data set so that it doesn't all sit in the

Otherwise, the Byte Unix Benchmark, Dhrystone, Whetstone & LINPACK

Hi All,

Any ideas on this, I have tried a few howtos that I found via google
in making a DVD/CD into a repository and preseeding, but still unable
to fix the problem.

Is there anyway at all to debug exactly what the machine is doing, and
what it is expecting. I would be really grateful if someone could
point me in a solvable direction.

thanks in advance

regards,
Arif

I'm not sure about how well these netbooks perform, but any ways, here
it's an alternative:

http://www.lemote.com/en/products/Notebook/2010/0310/112.html

Advantage is that this things are really meant to run on linux, and
the loongson 2f soc comes with 2 64-bits mips, and they have both
Europe and USA dealers if that's to be considered.

Bad thing is that their batteries are not that good, but in terms of
processing I think these got in better shape than the alwaysinnovating
ones which include a beagleboard...

Hi, I haven't read the discussions here for few weeks because I was busy
upgrading opensync plugin for kde called akonadi-sync. I think kde4.5 is
somehow usable, but it did not meet my expectations. If you are interested
read my story. I wanted to see if I can replace my 3.5 with 4.5 but
definitely not yet.

In fact it is very funny to read mails about people's first experience with
kde. I've just read in the end of 2008 what kde team is doing and why they
are release this crappy stuff. The problem is (according to me) that they
are not a commercial company. Otherwise they won't ever think of doing so.
So after I found out that it is a crap without even installing it I started
waiting and following few threads in few groups. As with kde 3 I thought
kde 4 will become pretty usable in it's 5th "incarnation", but still it is
not, so basically I don't understand why the debian team does not recognize
this and drops the unusable crap from squeeze before it became testing and
include the latest 3.5 (I am afraid it is too late now).
Finally debian is the issue and not KDE (again in my opinion) because debian
is aiming to be the most stable linux distro (or I would claim if they
don't). Of course the desktop (among other desktops) is not that important
component of the debian distro, but I think I am not the only one that
wants to go on with kde 3 until kde4 is really at production level or
nearly to what kde 3.5 offers.

The problems:
- There are still many kde3 programs that are not ported (and probably will
be not ported at all)
- There are still some strange things happening in kde4.5 (bugs and kind of)
- Some of the ported applications are also crappy
- It is missing translations (also the apps)

The features
- It is definitely better from design point of view
- It will be charming when running stable
- A lot of things are integrated or work in integrity together (because of
the design)
- it is developing rapidly

Still my expectations to find kde4.5 similar to kde3.5 are not met and I am
definitely not planning to use it before 4.6 or later usable version goes
into debian.

Thank you for mentioning the trinity project, I've almost forgotten.
I think the weather will be rainy during the weekend, so I know what I'll be
doing.

regards

"opensync-plugin-barry" (from sid) seems to have such dependency:

Synchronisation framework for email/pdas/and more

The last laptop I bought for a friend was a Toshiba some 5 years ago.  Their
recovery partition/backup utility included virtually all of the crapware -
even the trial version of Office 2003 - maybe things are different now.  I
suppose YMMV depending on vendor, etc., but for the OP I would definitely do
a full disk image with Clonezilla regardless of what choice he makes with
the built-in recovery options.  Then all he needs to do is change user name
possibly before selling if he restores from backup Clonezilla image, if that
day comes.

Just my $0.02, especially since the last Windows 7 disk image I made with
Clonezilla took 15 minutes, it seems like a good idea regardless if you ever
use it or not.

What are you actually trying to do? And which Debian version are you
looking at?

$ apt-cache policy libopensync0
libopensync0:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.22-2
  Version table:
 0.22-2 0
500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny/main i386 Packages

It isn't contained anymore in squeeze and sid. Probably because no
package depends on it:

$ aptitude search '~Dlibsync0' | wc -l
0

If you want to install Barry (something like barry-util, I suppose) from
sid, you'll usuallay have to install the dependencies from sid, too.

Mixing packages from Ubuntu (or any other distribution) with Debian
packages is strongly discouraged (as in: you are totally on your own and
probably nobody will be able or willing to help you).

No, not on my system. Again: what package are you trying install, how
exactly are you trying to do that and what errors do you get?

I use Clonezilla a great deal, but most people don't think to make an
image of the machine before they start Windows for the first time.

What I'm talking about is having the ability to restore the machine to a
factory state, with no personalization, in the event of your selling or
passing it along to someone else. Doing this allows the new user to walk
through the setup routine that is presented and personalize it to their
taste.

A very good point. I was going to mention that the restore discs 
provided by some vendors (via this method of creating them using a 
utility provided by the vendor) will let you perform a clean OS 
installation which omits some or all of the "extraneous" or third party 
software that comes with the factory image. That's a very nice feature 
since, otherwise, I'll just be buying another license and doing a clean 
installation without the cr*pola added by the OEM anyway.


It also lets any subsequent owner of the system get a nice, clean 
Windows image (well, as nice and clean as they get) on the system.


I don't use Windows on any personal systems these days, but it was 
surely nice to have the option of an installation without all of the 
weird stuff added by the computer maker because of all of those 
sweetheart deals with their business partners.

Debian pptpd server + Windows client: problem with authentication and encryption

[Roel Schroeven]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to configure a pptpd-server on Debian (5.0) to serve
Windows clients? I can make it work if I disable required data encryption on
the Windows client, but I don't want to run it like that in production.

I've already tried a number of different combinations of settings.

For example, with pptpd-options containing this:

refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
# Require the peer to authenticate itself using MS-CHAPv2 [Microsoft
# Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, Version 2] authentication.
require-mschap-v2
# Require MPPE 128-bit encryption
# (note that MPPE requires the use of MSCHAP-V2 during authentication)
#require-mppe-128

and required encryption disabled on the Windows client, I can make a
connection. The strange thing is that it works even if I supply an invalid
username?!

If I uncomment require-mppe-128, the connection fails:

Oct 14 15:37:02 rack02 pptpd[19812]: CTRL: Client 192.168.1.24 control

I don't understand "MPPE required, but MS-CHAP[v2] auth not performed.": why
is MS-CHAP[v2] not performed? Shouldn't the require-mschap-v2 setting force
the system to use that?

Another thing I noticed is "GRE: Bad checksum from pppd", but that doesn't
seem to be the problem since that line occurs also in the case where the
connection does succeed.

Can someone help me troubleshoot and solve the problem?

Best regards,
Roel Schroeven

libopensync0

[Debian TR]

I am not able to install libopensnyc0 from official repos. It isn't
available for amd64 architecture nor i386. Should I download it from
Ubuntu or is there a workaround (or smt. like that) to install Barry,
which is, in fact, in Sid's repo. Maybe there is a completely different
method to sync a Blackberry with Evolution in Debian. libsync0 is also
required to install multisync tools.

Thanks

Thank you for that information. I prefer it when developers try to make

Re: Network bridge between two wi-fi cards

[Victor Dorneanu]

BTW: If normal bridging doesn't work over wifi, I suppose the easiest
way to share my internet connectivity (client-only sense) is to use NAT
(correct me if I'm wrong).

So which method should I use? NAT or bridging (using ARP proxy)?

Have you tried by setting in Icedove "about:config" the variables...

path?
- "network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http" to "true"?


Thanks, Camaleón.  You are a mine of useful information. :-)   Just what
I wanted to know, mutatis mutandis.  I don't mind what Iceweasel thinks
is the default browser, but I want clicking on a link in an email in
Icedove to open a window in Konqueror and not in Iceweasel.

I have had a look on his computer, and Iceweasel has indeed got
about:config as it should, and as I would expect.  But I can't find any
such thing in Icedove.  Where should I be looking?

Lisi


Indeed, somehow I missed Camaleón's response. I'm glad you (Lisi)
responded to Camaleón. Most grateful to both of you. I changed the http
and https settings in icedove (Config Editor button on the General tab
of the Preferences dialog), and clicking a link in an e-mail is finally
calling up chromium-browser.


And my husband's computer now uses Konqueror when a link in an email is
clicked.  Thanks to both of you.  I have been meaning to do something about
this via google for some time.

Lisi


I had tried searching on this off and on for a few days, but I never 
found anything pertinent. I also looked through the Thunderbird 
documentation posted online and didn't find what I needed. I was working 
with a sleep deficit, so I may have slipped up while doing my homework.


I considered posting at the Mozilla forums, but I knew that this list is 
frequented by people who could cover the issue from all angles. And 
then, surely enough,  Camaleón came to the rescue!

Mo.  "Bridging" generally refers to 802.1d or 802.1h, which are supported well 
under 802.3 (Ethernet) but were not included in the current 802.11 ("Wi-Fi") 
standard.

Best to route the traffic at the IP layer.  You may be able to do layer 2 
bridging using an ARP proxy.

Bridge between two wi-fi cards

[Victor Dorneanu]

Hi there!

I'd like to create a bridge between 2 WLAN cards. The first one is
connected to the Internet via wpa_supplicant, the second one should act
as an AP. Both cards work in* promiscuous mode.
*

Is this possible?

Kind regards,

Victor

If you use 'startx', then you can do:

$ startx -- -dpi 107

This section from Arch Linux's wiki does a good job of explaining how
to adjust this permanently:

In Thunderbird, you can access to the configuration editor (sort of 
"about:config") by going to "Edit / Preferences / Advanced tab > (general

In GNOME and KDE that setting can be tweaked from "fonts settings" (in 
the former) and "user settings/control center" (in the latter).
