Resolution Problems on a Lenovo L191 LCD Monitor.

2007-11-11 Thread Ralph Crongeyer

Hi all,
I am running Lenny on an IBM Thinkpad X60 with a docking station, which 
is attached to a 19 Lenovo L191 screen. I have an Intel Mobile 945GM 
graphics card and I'm using the intel driver. The native resolution of 
my laptop screen is 1024x768, while the native resolution of my LCD 
screen is 1280x1024.


My problem is that the resolution on my external LCD screen is is always 
detected at 1024x768?

The monitor is always detected properly (1280x1024) when I use Etch.

I can get xorg to switch the resolution to 1280x1024 by running this 
command xrandr --output VGA --auto after I login. But then I need to 
logout and back in again so the fonts look right.


I couldn' find anything that gave me a clue in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
file. I've got three ziped up logs, one after a fresh boot and one 
after I changed the resolution and one is the diff between the two.
I can attach them for anyone that can help with this, I didn't want to 
sent it to the entire list.


Can someone help me fix this or is it a problem with xorg not detecting 
my monitor correctly?


Here's a snip of my xorg.conf if it will help:

I'm am also using firehol firewall. Would that cause problems for fail2ban

Any help would be great.

Hi Ralph,

I've happily used fail2ban on sarge since September.  Very effective.
You should re-read the docs; README.Debian and /etc/fail2ban.conf
especially.  Email reports, for example, are disabled by default.  Just
edit /etc/fail2ban.conf to enable them as you'd prefer.

I had some issues with firestarter firewall that are fixed in fail2ban
0.5.4-7.  Obviously if your firewall starts/re-starts /after/ fail2ban,
you can expect some problems as both programs control iptables.

You may find helpful hints for problems in your /var/log/fail2ban.log too.

fail2ban is a delight as it dispatches those pesky ssh brute force attacks.

Regards,
Ralph


  

Thanks Ralph.
It's working now. I totally missed the email notification setting. :-(  
Some times it helps to know if others are using something successfully 
to get you to take a closer look at the configs.


Thanks

Ralph

Sarge is already released.  No new packages will be added.  An RFP, if
the is actually packaged, will first go into Sid.  After a suitable time
(10 days) it will go into Etch.  If no RC issues crop up, it will stay
in Etch (with new version migrating in from Sid).  If unfixed RC bugs
persiste, it will be removed from Etch and risk not being there in time
for release.

I was playing around with Fudforum and added some entrys and then decided to
reset the app to get rid of test enterys by (probebly stupidly)
uninstalling Fudforum and reinstalling it via the eGroupware setup. And now
it's broken. When loged in as admin I click on the Fudforum all I get is a
blank page, no left menu or top menu icons at all? When I try to go to
Administration and click on Fudforum site configuration I get the same
result, a blank page?

Can someone help me with this?

Anyone have a well-behaved KVM switch?
4-port would be great, but I can live with 2.  As long as I'm asking,
it would be great if you could tell me if
a) you can switch systems with keystrokes instead of having to touch
the switch
b) if the switch beeps when you switch systems
Thanks in advance!
   

I'm using a 4 port KVM, that originally cost $100 US.  I use alt-ctrl-shift-x, 
where x is 1-4, and it will switch to that computer.  It's under the desk, so 
I'm not going to go through the cables and dust to find the model number ,but 
it's a Linksys.  It is transparent to the OS, so I've had no problem using it 
on computers running Linux (with X), and various versions of the Redmond OS.  
I've had a few glitches (like when my one system with an older mobo powers 
off before I switch to another system, I have to hit the manual button on the 
KVM itself -- but otherwise I can always toggle it from the keyboard).  The 
version I have works with PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors.  I don't know 
if you can use an adaptor and connect to USB, since it's never been an issue 
for me.

I think it's great and it's one of those few pieces of technology that I 
hardly ever have to think about -- I just hit the keystrokes, and I get 
switched to the box I want.

You can even boot one computer while using another, and it'll think the 
keyboard and mouse are hooked up to it.

Looks nice.  Two more questions, if you don't mind:  have you used it
happily with an LCD monitor, and is there room for largish PS/2 plugs?
Both my keyboard and mouse are using USB-to-PS2 adapters.
 

Actually it is tight the usb adapter doesn't fit well next to the

http://www.xs4all.nl/~jjvrieze/kmplayer.html

Last time I used kplayer I ended up un installing it in favor of kmplayer, but 
I'll give it a try again.

Does anyone else know where I can get debs for kmplayer?

Thanks

I am in the process of building a new ftp-server.  The old one used

I have recently become aware of pure-ftpd which seems to have more
features like using an sql-database for user definitions, quotas etc.
Our setup is like this: It is a unversity campus's ftp-server. Most of
the usage comes from anonymous users.  There are also some chrooted
users who use the server.  At the moment, with vsftpd, I have to
register them as users on the server to be able to use this service. 
I would like to have some opinions on the pro's and con's of vsftpd
and pure-ftpd-postgresql please.

Regards
Johann
If it is a high traffic site, I would say vsftpd.  For two reasons:
1) I run it on a server in the lab administer and it is very easy,
2) I know a couple of hackers that run a site called kernel.org :-)
and they seem to think it is pretty hot stuff.  From kernel.org:
Site News
May 26, 2004: vsftpd is now serving ftp... We should have done this 
sooner...

So, depending on your traffic level, an ftpd that accesses database
may or may not be what you want.  There is also proftpd, which is
used by many high traffic sites and gives you the option of single
or multiple password files, sql db, or ldap for authentication.
I can't speak to the advantages or shortcomings of pure-ftpd
Regards,
-Roberto Sanchez
I have been using pure-ftpd on a production system for about 8 months 
now with great results. It's fast and can use a database for virtual 
users and also has Auth-TLS 168 bit encryption (so does vsftpd). The 
configuration is a little weard (not the usual xxx.conf file style) 
insted of putting a line in the xxx.conf file like LimitRecursion = 
5000 500 you insted would create a file in 
/etc/pure-ftpd/conf/LimitRecursion and put the command settings inside 
it 5000 500 in this case.

Anyway try them both (one at a time of course) and see which on you like 
better.

Thanks
Ralph
PS: LimitRecursion in pure-ftpd has two variables, the first is the 
amount of files readable in a single dir and the second is how many 
directorys deep to read.

Re: pureftpd (testing) size breaks files under subdirs 2.1gbs

2004-09-08 Thread Ralph Crongeyer
Hi Justin,
I had this problem also.
In /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/ create a file called LimitRecursion and inside put:
5 500
'ls' recursion limits. The first argument is the maximum number of
files to be displayed. The second one is the max subdirectories depth.
That should hold you over for a while.  :-) 

And then restart pure-ftpd (/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart).
Thanks

Justin Cunningham wrote:
Pureftpd uploads a file within it's subdir.
It starts the upload and creates .pureftpd files.
Once it gets to 2.1GBs it does a size on the file under the dir.
The dir has not been created by pureftpd.  The dir is still a .pureftpd
file.
So pureftpd restarts the transfer and I get a bunch of .pureftpd files
and no file in a sub dir greater than 2.1gbs.
Is there an option I am not aware of here?

you don't have assign right permissions to files and directories. execute this:

# chown -R ftp:ftp /path/to/dir

OK OK OK..

I've lost my mind.. The problem is with my FTP client! When

show up in the "ls -l | more" command. Sorry for my jumping the gun

I have however found that "ls -d" doesn't seem to be working for me?

Since you're asking I guess, like me, you're not entirely comfortable

I'm using shorewall on some Woody boxes. I just installed it on Sarge

There _is_ a webmin module for it; I've not looked at it yet though.

There are also other firewall packages: fwbuilder comes to mind.

Below is a previous discussion I had going on this list. Sorry if it's 
not much help. :-)
It seems that nobody working with Debian is interested in a way to 
handle this problem, as I got very little response to the issue. anyway 
here is the e-mail/s.

Does anyone know if there is a plan to fix/address this before the next

Also, could someone give me a copy of the old script 
/etc/init.d/iptables. I need a way to save my rules, as we all do.

If you dont have the init scripts (which are apparently deprecated) I

I guess it doesn't matter for a single interface but it hardly seems
like the best solution either. At least to me. It seems there used to be
a script in /etc/init.d/ called iptables to start and stop and save
rules. It's all over google. But that script doesn't exist on any of my
four SID boxes, unless it is provided by another package?
   

It's deprecated in current SID so the only machines that have it are ones that 
have been around for a while and been upgraded.

 

There must be a better way to handel this than ifupdown? Does anyone
know of plans to bring the script back? Or other plans for another
solution?
   

I don't know what the plan is. I don't like using ifupdown because you'd have 
to manage a separate rule script for each interface.  But I've never liked 
the init.d script because I normally expect things in there to be actually 
starting daemons. But come to think of it that's not valid anyway.

I think the logical place would be at the end of /etc/init.d/networking. It 
could look for /etc/network/firewall and run it if it existed. This is the 
file that sets up routing and anti-spoofing, and the firewall should be 
configured as soon as possible after the network comes up.

Re: saving iptables rules?

Does anyone know if there is a plan to fix/address this before the next
release?
Also, could someone give me a copy of the old script

default, does anyone know to set this up?
Also when I try to stop the pureftpd daemon with /etc/init.d/pureftpd

Yup beta 4 does have the e1000 drivers on it. I installed this box with beta 3 
and it had them also. But 4 also has them.

Ralph
 After trying to get Debian deployed in a client project for over a year,
I've been successfuly in having it approved for use on a 6-server
 project that we're doing.

 But, I've got a problem that I'd like some direction with.

 My experience with Debian has basically been that I've had no problem
 getting the actual distribution up and running -- I simply install from
 the Sarge ISOs on CD, and then customize what I want or upgrade to Sid
 in some cases.

 But in my first attempt at installing on these boxes, using my Beta 2
 Installer, I got an error message that it didn't have drivers for the
 E1000 gigabit nics on these servers. (I've never used a gigabit nics
 before with Debian, only with FC and RH).

 Here's my question:

 a) does Beta 4 have the e1000 drivers?

 b) If not, how do I load the e1000 drivers during the install? Or for
 that matter, how do I load ANY drivers during install that aren't part
 of the Sarge or Sid distributions?

 Thanks for any advice!

Yes there is a driver disk, If you add your driver to the disk then during 
the install (someware) it asks you if you want/need to load 3rd party 
drivers? At that point insert the driver disk and  answer yes, then it should 
ask you for the source of the driver and you would select your floppy drive. 
Then it will give you a list of drivers on the disk and you select the one 
you want.

 Thanks Ralph! I'm downloading the Beta 4 CDs right now :)

 Can you (or anyone else) perhaps also give me a pointer to how I would
 add drivers or kernel mods that weren't included in the distribution
 during the installation process?

 I'd like to know in case I need to do it in the future (and just for my

 u floppy disk? None of these servers have floppy disk drives,
 and I can't really recall seeing a server or workstation (or notebook
 for that matter) that had a floppy disk drive in it over the last year
 or two or three

 That's what confused me too I've seen references to copy the driver
 or mod to a floppy disk or load it from floppy but that doesn't seem
 really practical.

 Would it work if I put the file on a cd? Has anyone tried loading an
 optional drive or module from cd?

 It's not so much much broken as only designed for exim3.  There is a newer

OK, try this.

If you are running a 2.4 kernel then install like this:
apt-get alsa-utils alsa-drivers 
then run:
alsaconf
and follow the instructions it should find your sound card and install the 
driver for it.

If you have a 2.6 kernel then just apt-get install alsa-conf and then run 
alsaconf. In the debian kernel-image-2.6 the alsa drivers are built as 
modules already, since the alsa sound system/drivers are now a standard part 
of the 2.6 kernels.

libpam-runtime is broken in unstable.

2004-04-14 Thread Ralph Crongeyer


I was installing Debian unstable (SID) on a friends system on Monday 
evening and I could only get as far as:

Installing Sarge from a beta3 installer (no problems)

After the install I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list and from testing 
to unstable, then I ran apt-get update followed by apt-get 
dist-upgrade.

At this point I had libpam-runtime fail to install?



I tried to do a fresh install on my laptop last night (Tuesday) and 
after the install and changing my sources.list from testing to 
unstable I ran apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade and the 
same package libpam-runtime fails to install. So it looks like 
libpam-runtime is broken in unstable because it has happened on two 
different machines with two different architectures. My friends desktop 
is a Athalon and my laptop is a Pentium4 Mobile.



Anyone else seeing this?

 So it thinks the cs drivers are still there?





 When I then run the aadebug it cannot find any sound cards

 what files do I need to clean out?
 Anyother places to lok in the logs?

 /dev/gpmdata.  So far, I've tried commenting out the generic mouse section
 of XF86Config-4 which, as I understood, is meant to enable USB mice (which
 I don't have) and its corresponding entry in the ServerLayout section.
 But that did not resolve the problem.  I'm currently trying to use the
 2.6.4 kernel.  Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Sound problem with ALSA and 2.6.5 kernel....

2004-04-12 Thread Ralph Crongeyer
Hi all,

I'm having this problem with an Intel 82801CA sound card and Kernel 2.6.5 on 
my laptop. There's no sound at all? I have sound with my 2.6.4 kernel? Maybe 
just the drivers/driver in 2.6.5? When I boot the 2.6.5 kernel and run 
alsaconf it finds the card and sets everything up fine, but when I log into 
KDE I have no sound? The volumes are at the same levels as previously set, 
and I get no errors?

Any ideas?

Ralph

You could just copy your conf file someware and then delete it and run 
alsaconf again to allow it to create a new file.

Did it work? I mean do you now have sound?

Re: Kernel 2.6.5 and Nvidia driver

2004-04-06 Thread Ralph Crongeyer
I'm having this problem with Toshiba 5105 laptop, kernel-2.6.4 and nvidia 
driver 1.0-5336 downloaded from Nvidia. There is about a 1/4 inch gap of the 
screen not being used on the right hand side of the screen running 
vertically. I used to be able to fix this problem (with kernel-2.4.x) by 
editing my /etc/modules.conf file with this:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2
alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia

But now this has no effect? (I'm using Debian SID with kernel-2.6.4). 
Also, since I'm using the 2.6 kernel, I have put the:
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2
alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia 
commands in the /etc/modprobe.conf file also.

Even if I exit out of the GUI and stop x, and kdm and rmmod nvidia to unload 
the module and then reload it with:
modprobe nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2
to insure that the options are loaded, and then restart kdm and x it has no 
effect, the 1/4 inch gap is still there?

So far no one has been able to help me fix this, it's really annoying because 
until now I haven't had any problems with these drivers.

Re: email server - sendmail problems

2004-04-06 Thread Ralph Crongeyer
 What am I doing wrong? is there some setting I am supposed to set to be
 able to use the email outside the local network?

Yes. You have to tell sendmail that it is OK to Relay for specific networks, 
other than the network it is on.

I'm sure you can find this on Google.

With postfix it's a directive (For example) 
mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/8, 123.456.789.100/36

So send mail does something like this also.

 I did. It asked me some questions which I answered - nice.

That is how you use the etherconf tool, dpkg-reconfigure etherconf.

when I do I get this:

Hey Chris,

Thanks, I didn't know that the 2.6 kernel uses /etc/modprobe.conf.

But that still doesn't work.

I think that it's a driver problem because:
  Even if I exit out of the GUI and stop x, and kdm and rmmod nvidia to

So I've written to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to ask them for help. 

Thanks for the info.

Apache questions.......

2004-03-15 Thread Ralph Crongeyer



Hi all,

There are two Apache packages in Sarge, apache and apache-ssl. But there is 
also a libapache-mod-ssl package

Apache-ssl works in encrypted mode fine, however I can't get it to use 
mod_php4, which I need. Apache is able to use mod_php4 but I cannot get it to 
use mod_ssl, which I also need??

I would like to use apache, php4, and mod_ssl (but I don't want to run two 
apache instances).

What do I need to do to get all this (apache, mod_php4, and 
mod_ssl)working?

Thanks,

Ralph


Apache and mod_ssl....

2004-03-15 Thread Ralph Crongeyer



Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting mod_ssl working. I have the module loaded: I did 

"/usr/sbin/modules-config apache mod_ssl enable"

then added this to the bottom of my /etc/apache/httpd.conf file:

VirtualHost _default_:443
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache/ssl.crt/snakeoil-dsa.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache/ssl.key/snakeoil-dsa.key
/VirtualHost

and restart apache with no errors, but netstat -a -p shows apache listening 
on port 80 only?

What am I doing worng?

Webmin and Apache questions.......

2004-03-12 Thread Ralph Crongeyer



Hi all,

First, I'm new to Debian Linux.

I just installed Debian this morning (Sarge) and after the install (which 
went without problems) I installed apache, libapache-mod-ssl and webmin.

Apache is running but it won't go into encryped mode.When I try to https://ipaddress/ I get:

"The connection refused when attempting to contact ipaddress."

It's like it's not listining on port 443 ?

What do I need to do to get it working?


Also I can start and stop webmin with no problemsbut when I try to 
connect to https://ipaddress:1/ 
Iget:

"The connection refused when attempting to contact ipaddress."

It's like it's not listining on port1 ?

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Ralph
