Solution for me was to use Super Grub Disk to boot the partition then run `dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc` and choose to install in MBR (was installed in partition).

You'll be prompted which branch you want to configure apt for (stable, testing or sid). Choose sid. Then I skipped taskselect and went straight into aptitude and started choosing packages. This took a little longer but I had an unstable system on first boot with little cruft. The alternative is to install a testing system, change your apt sources and dist-upgrade to unstable.

Using ps > as root gives no entries for Firestarter after booting, whereas it does > once I get Firestarter to start. > That doesn't mean that the firewall isn't running. Firestarter is just a front-end for iptables as you probably already know. "Firestarter" will only show up in ps output if the firestarter gui is running. To see if it has configured iptables for you use iptables -L to list all the current chains. Maybe an example will help.. I have two user accounts on my machine - one for myself and one for my wife. Only for my own account do I have firestarter the gui set to start on login and only when I am logged in does firestarter show up in ps output. The firewall (iptables) is continuing to run when I log out though and this can be confirmed by logging in with my wife's account and running "iptables -L" in an xterm as root. It shows all the chains that firestarter configured iptables to run. If my dhcp lease expires and dhclient obtains a new IP from my cable provider then the exit hook runs "sh /etc/init.d/firestarter start" which reconfigures iptables to my new IP address. This is transparent though. Running "/etc/init.d/firestarter status" will also tell you if firestarter the firewall (firestarter service) is running. Put another way... /etc/init.d/firestarter runs the firewall /usr/sbin/firestarter runs the firestarter gui > The boot script /etc/init.d/firestarter is: > What I was interested in was the script that you said existed in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d You should get a failure notice at bootup since your ppp link is not up. I believe it can be safely ignored. What you need is a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d which reruns /etc/init.d/firestarter when you bring up your ppp link. This however will not get you the gui portion of firestarter or make firestarter show up in ps output but it does start the firewall itself. To get the gui firestarter program to come up /usr/sbin/firestarter has to be run with root privileges. When you type this in manually in a console you get the firestarter gui program to come up as it should. To avoid having to do that each time configure sudo and your gnome session manager according to the directions listed at http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#trayicon > Running /usr/sbin/firestarter as root does start Firestarter. As it should. Run it and make sure it is configured to "start/restart firewall on dialout". This is under Preferences>Firewall in the gui program. > starting at /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh do not. No it won't if ppp0 isn't up yet. That's why the little script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d is necessary. To test the whole thing out: 1) Bring up ppp0 using whatever dialer program you use in Gnome 2) In a terminal as root run "/etc/init.d/firestarter status" to see if the firewall service is running. You may need to wait a few seconds after your ppp link is established before you do this. If it is running you will get "Firestarter is running..." as your output. You will NOT see firestarter in ps output though at this point and will not have the firestarter gui either. If you get a message other than "Firestarter is running..." then the script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d is not working or not installed yet. 3) In a terminal as root run "/usr/sbin/firestarter" to bring up the firestarter gui. Once the firestarter gui is running then firestarter will appear in ps output. Use the firestarter gui to configure firestarter to restart on dial-out but not to restart on program (gui) startup. These options can be found by clicking on the Preferences button, choosing "firewall" on the list on the left pane and ticking the appropriate boxes. If these options are not set correctly then Firestarter the firewall will not restart each time you dial-out. If all that works then all you need to do is configure sudo and the gnome session manager like I described above. That will automate you having the firestarter gui started on login minimized to the system tray. Again, I hope I'm not telling you things you already know/tried. The important point to take away is that Firestarter the gui program and the firestarter (iptables) firewall are two seperate entities. Only the gui shows up in ps output as firestarter. The gui is just a configuration and monitoring tool for the firestarter firewall (service) itself. -- Ken Wahl signature.asc Description: Digital signature

In fact it starts too early and I too get the failure notice but when network brings up eth0 (I connect via a cable modem) dhclient runs the firestarter script again successfully (it is called via /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks). So at this point firestarter "the firewall" is running but no gui is running as X hasn't even started yet.

Would you post the snippet of code that runs it? If firestarter really isn't running and /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/firestarter is only willing to restart it and failing then we may be able to hack that script so that it first checks to see if firestarter is running - if so then restart - if not then start. What I am wondering is if in fact the firestarter "the firewall" is running but you just are not getting the gui part of the program. If so, the remedy would be to reload it with sudo according to the directions listed here: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#trayicon It's been some years since I used Gnome as my DE.

In the Firestarter wizard there is an option to automatically start the firewall on dial-out. This option does not work with some dialers. For example, if you are using the kppp dialer application you will have to set up the dialer to start the firewall after a connection is established. Kppp includes an option to launch scripts when a connection is established which does the job nicely. From that I would think you'd need to setup sudo for firestarter to be started without a password and if using kppp, have kppp execute 'sudo /usr/sbin/firestarter --start-hidden' once the ppp link is established. The "--start-hidden" makes firestarter start minimized to the tray. An example sudoers file: User_Alias DIALERS = username1, username2 DIALERS ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/firestarter See the sudoers man page for more on how to configure sudo. I use KDE so I don't know about other dialer programs but I imagine there would be someway to execute sudo firestarter from them as well. -- Ken Wahl

I've been monitoring ntp on and off all day and noticed it was having to step the clock about -6 seconds every 5 to 10 minutes. I also would never get the "kernel time sync enabled 0001" message in my ntp log. The output of ntpq -p would show all three of my us.pool.ntp.org servers with offsets around -4000 and jitter of 2000+. I did some research on your noapic nolapic suggestion and found this thread on the kernel.org mailing list (1) which I think explains why this fix works and the problem it addresses. I'm not a kernel hacker but it seems to have to do with the nForce2 chipset and something called the "C1 halt disconnect fix." Apparently not all BIOS have this fix, in particular Abit boards (which I'm using) do not and Abit will not offer BIOS updates with the fix, according to the thread. The problem itself causes the interrupt timers to go awry and can result in even worse problems than just poor clock performance. After rebooting with the "noapic nolapic" kernel options ntp was able to sync rather quickly and server offsets are down to high 50's with jitters of less than 20. Anyway, the thread at kernel.org is here: (1) http://search.luky.org/linux-kernel.2005/msg01168.html I'd encourage those with NTP problems using motherboards with the nForce2 chipset to read the thread and give the "noapic nolapic" kernel options a try. If your experience will be anything like mine, you'll notice a dramatic improvement in NTP performance rather quickly.

Try adding this to your muttrc:
set hdr_format="%4C %Z %{%m/%d} [%2N] %-15.15F (%4c) %s"
If that is rejected then use:
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%m/%d} [%2N] %-15.15F (%4c) %s"
I actually think your version uses index_format but I have hdr_format in
my muttrc.
This is configurable and you can see how to customize it at:
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#ss6.3
(scroll down to index format)
You can also use folder-hooks to make it different depending on what folder
you are browsing. One of the many beauties of mutt.

I tested it just now and it worked. -- Ken signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Tag the messages with "t" then ";" will prompt you as to what you want to do with the tagged mails then just enter "X". All of your tagged mails will have the spamassassin macro applied to them. -- Ken signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Going on a hunch I looked up the specs for your monitor here: http://urlx.org/dell.com/2e07 and it shows that the max vertical sync rate is 75Hz and horizontal sync rate is 80KHz. Your x.org conf has the max vert as 76.0. Try editing this value to 75.0 and see if that will get rid of those "out of range errors" and allow you to use 1280x1024.

Re: Firefox 1.5 plugins
What worked for me was re-creating the symlinks that were in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins in the new plugin folder for firefox 1.5 which is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins For example with the flashplugin-nonfree.. cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplayer.xpt flashplayer.xpt ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so The above has to be done as root. I also had to do this with my java , acrobat and helix player plugins. The only plugins that automagically made the transition were the mplayer plugins.
