Re: ping packet loss when size gt 1500

Or could it be my ISP (British Telecom) whose DNS server will randomly go down for a while and then come back (not in sync with the appearance of this problem though) - I thought I'd state that to give an idea of the ISP's reliability. Or is this ping problem definitely something I can sort out and perhaps solve it? Thanks Adam Use OpenDNS or google DNS. Don't rely on your ISP DNS, as most of them don't know how to run them very well. Also, if British Telecom uses PPPoE, you can't have a packet size over 1492 (MTU size). 1500 is standard on non-PPPoE connections. It's not really an issue at all, just means you will need to transfer a tiny few packets more (you won't notice). In fact, if you are indeed using PPPoE, it would be good to make sure your MTU size is set to 1492 so your router won't have to fragment it to transmit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

That's because you have SATA drives according to fdisk below. These show up as serial devices, which will be sd[x][#], with [x] being your drive according to bios in alphabetical order, and the [#] being the partition number in order according to your partition table. I do not know why df is showing them as hda, but I know a few other utilities don't make this distinction either. You just have to remember. Then when I do: 'fdisk -l' I get: Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x34fe34fd Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 383 3076416 12 Compaq diagnostics /dev/sda2 * 384 3814 27559507+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda3 3815 7296 27969165 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 3815 5471 13309821 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda6 5472 7173 13671283+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 7174 7296 987966 82 Linux swap / Solaris [...] So here it appears that root is sda6! It is. tune2fs -l /dev/sda6 should work fine. What other way is there other than df to find where the root fs is mounted? Not sure, but if you just remember you are using sata drives, and they show as sd[x][#].

Don't forget the aptitude purge ~c to clean out all those leftover,

dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ {print $2}' | xargs dpkg -P if you don't have aptitude.

module-assistant not detecting kernel headers
I'm using a custom built kernel that I've created with make-kpkg using the debian kernel source, and I've also created and installed kernel-source and kernel-headers with that same utility. I need to rebuild the alsa modules to include the module called aloop, which isn't included in the stock kernel, and I can't find it in my custom kernel either. I've tried using the m-a utility, but it keeps saying it cannot find my kernel's headers. I've used m-a prepare which created the symlink, but it still cannot find the headers. The symlink is fine, it links to my kernel headers in /usr/src. I figured this won't really work anyways as aloop was not one of the modules listed in the m-a utility for alsa anyways, but I'd still like to know why m-a can't find my headers. I've also tried grabbing the alsa-driver-1.0.23.tar.bz2 from the alsa project, and build and installed it according to http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge . The only thing I did differently is that i used --with-cards=all: ./configure --with-cards=all --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes However, when I tried to sudo modprobe snd-aloop, it said something about unknown symbol in aloop.ko(?) (i had since rebooted and had to purge and reinstall the kernel because the kernel wouldn't even load). I need to get that aloop module built and loaded to try and create the Alsa to Jack bridge. Any suggestions? Much appreciated in advance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
