no audio in microphone
I am trying to setup skype. I got a nice new logitech C200 web cam the video works now. But I've tried plugging 2 different microphones in, to the front back panels of the desktop with no audio output.

ntp synaptic
My system rebooted yesterday. I had a 3 hour power outage due to a tree falling on the power lines down the street. After I got a few emails, telling me my date was wrong, I noticed that it said it was tomorrow already. I tried to change it, but when I selected Adjust date time from the systray, clicked OK. It brought up a window for my admin password, saying time-admin needed system priveleges. When I put in the password, the screen just disappeared. So I thought I'd look up ntp packages in Synaptic. I went to System-administration-Synaptic package manager clicked on it. Again, the screen blinked disappeared. From a # terminal prompt I can run synaptic it brings up the package manager. It seems something may be wrong with my system, but I'm not sure what. As far as the time being wrong, what is the Normal ntp package that gets installed, or could be installed? I have a package installed, ntpdate, but it doesn't look like it has a daemon. I tried ntpd openntpd but when I run them ( /etc/init.d/ntpd start) they fail, with no log entries anywhere. suggestions? -- Paul Cartwright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

After booting through S the system automatically enters one of the multi-user runlevels 2 through 5, unless there was some problem that needs to be fixed by the administrator in single-user mode.

I does look like gnupg and openssl have received some updates since the Lenny release, and openssl got some from the security team specifically. openssh-server hasn't been updated since the Lenny release, AFAIK. If there is a specific vulnerability you are concerned about, asking on debian-security for the status of a fix might be appropriate. As far as unknown threats go, there may be security flaws in the Lenny versions that are fixed upstream, but there may also be new flaws introduced upstream and are not in the Lenny versions. I am not so much concerned about about vulnerability as I am rkhunter giving me a warning about up-2-date apps.. openssl might concern me, because I use ssl.. same with ssh.. since MOST of what I do is behind my router, I am not very public internet facing..

I had to reboot my Debian box... been awhile since I did that, and when I logged in remotely using ssh, I got a prompt about waiting to reboot, or something like that.. anywa, besides taking almost a half hour to reboot, because it had to fsck a bunch of file systems that hadn't been checked in 225 days, apache didn't restart. not sure why ? before apache restarted I tried to start up thunderbird on my laptop to get to IMAP email on the debian box, but it refused the connection.

An MX record is simply a record that says deliver email for domain.tld to smtp.domain.tld. smtp.domain.tld is an A record that points to the IP address of your router. You map TCP port 25 on the router to the private IP address of your Postfix server. That's pretty much it. right, port forwarding.. I do that now for my web server.. Frankly speaking, trying to setup and operate your own DNS servers would cost you more in time and treasure than simply paying for DNS service. As I stated earlier, I pay $5/month for DNS service with TZO (paid yearly). The service they sell is dynamic dns service geared toward residential broadband users, much like dyndns.org. The big difference WRT dyndns.org is that you use your own real domain name, which enables you to run your own MX host, i.e. inbound mail server. The only thing required is a TZO enabled router, or software running on a Linux or Windows server. This is what sends your dynamic IP address to the DNS servers when your ISP changes it. It works very well. I've been a customer since 2005 and not had a single issue, either when I had dynamic IP service or static IP service. Setup is very easy, if you have basic knowledge of DNS. If you don't, Google and this list are your friends. :) the reason I GOT a static IP was just for a mail server.. That's why I got the dyndns domain, to play with it, get it working, THEN move my real domain.. never got that far because of the lack of 2 DNS servers.. so what you are saying is, I could do it with a DNS hosting service like TZO.

I've seen some of my off-list replies to SOME people get eaten by one of those sites... sorbs-xxx sounds familiar.. and that was from my HOSTING service.. bad news! What happens if/when a customer's router (and thus dyndns daemon) blows chunks, or the PC they have running the auto update client does the same? Or what to do about customers who don't have an auto updatig mechanism? There's needs to be a mechanism to allow manually updating the IP address via their control panel. And, tada: http://www.hardwarefreak.com/tzo.jpg Simple as that. Thus, the service, although geared toward dynamic IP use, also works perfectly well for static IP use. You set it once, and forget it. well, I'm not sure I see the difference between tzo dyndns, as far as services are concerned.. I'd have to look up reviews, comments..tzo would be twice as expensive as dyndns, and we are only talking dns hosting, but I'll look at both. Interestingly, I had to renew my 12 month service just last month. I went looking around for cheaper DNS hosting. I thought I'd be able to find DNS only hosting for a similar or cheaper rate. I couldn't find any. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I couldn't find it. The closest thing I found was VPS for $9.95 a month which included DNS hosting, but I didn't want or need a VPS. So, for that reason, and that fact that when I move I may end up with a dynamic IP, I stuck with TZO. I'm a smoker, at a pack a day. I spend, currently, $3.76 per day on smokes. TZO DNS hosting is $5 per _month_. Makes it really easy to justify when put in these terms. :) cough, cough, ever considered quitting smoking??G Paul, if you do this, and create an MX record to get the mail flowing to your Postfix server, you need to make damn sure you've got Postfix setup correctly to receive inbound mail for pcartwright.com. *AND* you need to login to your current domain registrar and change your dns servers over to TZO. Every domain registered has DNS servers assigned to that domain. For instance: Info on transferring name servers:http://www.tzo.com/MainPageDomains/TransferringDomains.html yeah, I've done that before.. I know how to log into my registrar.. I just transferred my domain 2 years ago. I had a problem with my ISP, ATT not wanting to send emails to my domain, and vice-versa.. so I dropped ATT as my ISP and moved my domain to justhost. I really wanted to host my own email, but I missed the dns server issue.. I've not spoon fed you everything. There's quite a bit to setup in the TZO control panel, such as your domain name, etc. You'll figure it out. Ping me on or off list if you need help.

Movemail not getting emails
I am using thunderbird Lenny. I have a Movemail account setup for my local user. It is set to get emails every X minutes. Doesn't do anything. I have to right-click the account folder, and select Get-messages. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I am trying to change my mail output on Debian Lenny to IMAP, using my Maildir folder.. I've changed /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and here is what my postconf -d output shows: home_mailbox = mail_name = Postfix mail_owner = postfix mail_release_date = 20080902 mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mail_version = 2.5.5 dovecot -n shows this: mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir /etc/postfix/main.cf has this: home_mailbox = Maildir/ /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf has this: dovecot.conf:mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I'm still getting mail in /var/mail what am I missing? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I added that entry, restarted thunderbird, still not getting emails from local host. ALSO, when I DO get emails, the filters don't run, some DO, some DON'T.. say I issues the get messages command, and get 27 emails. the ibox will go down to say 6 unread. When I go to tools- run message filters, the rest go to the filtered folders.. I was starting to add duplicate filters for the same content ( xxx-debian-1, xxx-debian-2...) until I realized it just wasn't running them. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

As you are running Dovecot, wouldn't be better to select standard imap? :-? are they mutually exclusive? I do have an IMAP local user account AND a movemail account...
