OT: Operation not permitted with UDP port SNAT
Hello. I have an issue with udp SNAT. If I try to change the source port of all UDP packets that go to a given port I get the sendto: Operation not permitted message. For the tests I used the talker.c program. http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/output/html/multipage/clientserver.html#datagram Thus if I do: iptables -F -t nat ; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --protocol udp --dport 6060 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.107:1 Then I can send one message only. $ ./a.out 192.168.1.1 hola talker: sent 4 bytes to 192.168.1.1 And if I try to send more messages I get the error message. $ ./a.out 192.168.1.1 hola talker: sendto: Operation not permitted If I use a port range I get a predictable issue that (i guess) has to do with something I don't know about IP/UDP or DNAT. I searched the web but I didn't manage to find an answer. #SNAT to a set of 11 ports # I can only send 11 packets. iptables -F -t nat ; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --protocol udp --dport 6060 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.107:1-10010 $ ./a.out 192.168.1.1 hola talker: sent 4 bytes to 192.168.1.1 (works 11 times) $ ./a.out 192.168.1.1 hola talker: sendto: Operation not permitted This is what I get in tcpdump for the former test: 00:13:09.921129 IP 192.168.1.107.10003 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:10.281108 IP 192.168.1.107.10004 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:10.577223 IP 192.168.1.107.10005 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:10.856942 IP 192.168.1.107.10006 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:11.145302 IP 192.168.1.107.10007 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:11.473134 IP 192.168.1.107.10008 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:11.809213 IP 192.168.1.107.10009 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:12.097163 IP 192.168.1.107.10010 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:12.409165 IP 192.168.1.107.1 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:12.705333 IP 192.168.1.107.10001 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 00:13:13.065146 IP 192.168.1.107.10002 192.168.1.1.6060: UDP, length 4 What I am missing?

Re: rsync 10 times slower in Etch than in Sarge!
the solution is not to use the sync option, that also increases your drive's lifetime. I put the `sync' option just to avoid drive corruption. If it is necessary to toggle it off, how can I be sure the process is terminated before I unmount the drive? This was discussed sometime ago in this list (someone wanted to be able to remove the USB drive anytime). Using sync is not a good idea with the USB pendrive. Check this thread: http://marc.info/?t=11792503843r=1w=2 ( I was wondering why I was aware of this old thread and I just noticed that I was the one who suggested using sync! ). You may want to add sync as the last command in your backup script do avoid data loss. I looked into `sync' manual but couldn't find out how to use this command. What should I say instead of `rsync -vr --delete Mail News /mnt/sda'? You use the same rsync command. You execute sync _after_ the rsync command.

xorg cannot read V_BIOS Intel D945GTP + 2 video cards / a way out
Hi. More than one month ago I asked in this list about an issue with my current setup that does not allow me to use my second PCI video card [1]. While it happens with an Intel D945GTP [2], I don't think this is specific to the main board as some say (I'm not sure). Anyway, the BIOS doesn't show a V_BIOS for the secondary video card.

Corp. Unknown device b089 I see 4 ways out, and 2 of them are viable for me now. I'd like to know if you had come into similar issues before and what I should try now. I placed the questions at the end of this email. *** 1) Get a better motherboard or Get a dual output video card I wouldn't like to do this one. If the other options involve more than a few hours I guess it will be cheaper for me to get a dual-output video card. I'd prefer to fix the problem since I'd have to wait sometime before getting the new video card and I'd have 2 spare video cards around. *** 2) Downgrade to xorg 7.0 since this setup was working before I would not like to to this, but it's an option. My dual setup worked out of the box in a previous xorg version. I wonder how I could use an older xorg in Debian sid. *** 3) Apply the patches that allow me to load video ROM from a file [3]. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227851#c7 I tried to compile xorg with this patch, but the xorg version in sid was very different. I tried to integrate the patch by hand but it wouldn't be easy since some functions have gone somewhere else in the xorg tree. It seems this patch would work around my problem since it worked for someone else, here is what he got. Check the second line. (II) RADEON(1): initializing int10 (**) RADEON(1): Option BiosLocation file:/root/r9200.bios (II) RADEON(1): Read 52 kB V_BIOS from file:/root/r9200.bios (--) RADEON(1): Chipset: ATI Radeon 9250 5960 (AGP) (ChipID = 0x5960) (--) RADEON(1): Linear framebuffer at 0x5800 (--) RADEON(1): BIOS at 0xfffe (II) RADEON(1): PCI card detected https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=148129 *** 4) Do the int10 initialization myself with another program (or another kind of initialization). http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-July/008649.html Well, this is new to me. It seems I cat get to initialize the card using another method that doesn't use the Legacy VGA code (http://jonsmirl.googlepages.com/graphics.html). *** Now the questions: * Is there any support in the Linux Kernel that I could use to initialize/use the second video card? fbdev? * What would you try if you wanted to get the second video card started? Shall I file a bug? Xorg should take care of this. I have used more than one video card with previous versions, with the same hardware I have now. * What mailing list should I try for this issue?

I wonder how I could use an older xorg in Debian sid. Ok. A few hours and I got it. Let's reply myself in case someone has the same problem (and to avoid wasting someone else's time). The nv driver does not support dual head and it might never will. We have to wait for nouveau (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420537 The problem was not the upgraded xorg. When I previously had this setup, I had the privative nvidia driver (legacy version) managing my secondary video card. I lend that video card a few days to a friend, and when it came back I had changed the nvidia legacy driver (since I was trying compiz, which BTW, seems to be broken in Unstable right now). So I could not start the dual head setup again, and I couldn't use the new privative nvidia driver with my old card (NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x]). The nv driver doesn't know how to softboot this video card when it's a secondary video card. So, I was trying to use this setup: * NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (Primary in BIOS) (both nv/nvidia drivers) * NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (nv driver) And it seems it was never going to work. Now I have: * NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (Primary in BIOS) (nv driver) * NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (current nvidia drivers) And it works. Xinerama + Gnome again. No compiz, but I'd rather have dual head (with xinerama) than a 3d desktop.

Re: Two video cards / Xorg crashes in sid
That's a good start, you could also try older versions of xserver-xorg-video-nv and xserver-xorg-core and see if it broke in a specific upgrade. You can find older packages here, http://snapshot.debian.net/ Otherwise, I suggest you use the reportbug tool to file a bug report for xserver-xorg-video-nv. I went to experimental and I found something. aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nv/experimental xserver-xorg-core/experimental libdrm2/experimental xfonts-scalable It has to do with Cannot read V_BIOS (3). It seems that it happens with a lot of people when they have a secondary video card in some boards. There's a weird solution (at least weird to me :)) that involves extracting a ROM for the video card and placing it in a file that Xorg will use for this card. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2597#c36 I don't have such rom in my /sys filesystem.

Two video cards / Xorg crashes in sid
Hi. I had a successful setup a long time ago with Xorg and xinerama in Debian sid. I use 2 monitors and 2 video cards. It used to work well, but now I doesn't work anymore, even with the same configuration file I had before. I didn't have the time to debug, until today. Has something similar happened to any of you recently? Any of you having trouble with the most recent Xorg?

Usando esta utilidad hagan la siguiente prueba con los siguientes dominios de Microsoft: www.search.msn.com search.latam.msn.com desktop.msn.com download.windowsvista.com uk.my.msn.com download.microsoft.com search.microsoft.com No es nada nuevo. MS no usa eso directamente, el que usa GNU/Linux como OS es http://www.akamai.com, que tiene espejos de contenido de MS. -- http://arhuaco.org http://emQbit.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
