ipv6 stable privacy (rfc 7217) as default ipv6 address for outgoing traffic
Hi, According to my understanding, it's possible to have multiple ipv6 addresses for an interface. But I didn't find any option to select the address related to stable privacy (rfc 7217) as the default for outgoing address. In /etc/network/interfaces: iface enp6s0 inet6 dhcp In /etc/sysctl.d/00-sp31415-sysctl.conf: net.ipv6.conf..stable_secret = ::::::: net.ipv6.conf..addr_gen_mode = 2 I'm getting 2 addresses : one from slaac with stable privacy and one from dhcpv6. It looks like the one from dhcpv6 is used as the default for outgoing traffic. How can I indicate that I want to use the one related to stable privacy as the default outgoing address ? With privacy extension (rfc 4941), I can choose the outgoing ipv6 address with use_tempaddr=2 (or 1 to enable but not use it for outgoing traffic) I can also disable dhcpv6, but I would like to keep dhcpv6. iface enp6s0 inet6 auto Regards, Serge

XDG Standard is not evil (was: Re: Why focus on systemd?)
2014/11/16 Peter Nieman wrote: > Has anyone ever wondered where all these funny directories like ~/.cache, > ~/.config, ~/.local or even ~/Desktop (with a capital D) came from that > appeared in Debian after upgrading to - was it Lenny? Here's an answer: > http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html People often misunderstand what XDG standards were created for. Imagine that you're writing some graphical application in those old days before XDG standards appeared. And you want to put a link to it to the main menu of your DE/WM. Where would you put it? ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications? ~/.kde/share/applnk? Maybe .icewm/menu? Or all of them? What if you want to autostart it on login? ~/.kde/Autostart? ~/.kde/share/autostart? ~/.gnome2/autostart? The problem arises when MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT apps need SAME files. So they came together and created XDG standard. It looks like: [autostart-spec] system-wide autostart files are placed in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart/ user-specific overrides go to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/ "based on the desktop base directory specification". [menu-spec] .menu files are placed in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/ .desktop files are placed in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/ user overrides go to $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/ and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus "according to the desktop base directory specification". and so on. The "Base Directory Specification" itself is just html page to reference, a base for other XDG specifications, that's why it's called "base". As its original author said [1]: > XDG Base Directory spec is intended for use by other specification. > For example the XDG Menu specification and Autostart specification > refer to the XDG Base Directory specification instead of reinventing > their own filesystem locations / hierarchy. It just gives the meaning to directories, used by *other XDG standards*, which brought peace and clarity to the mess of desktop environments. Those XDG standards were created by "X Desktop Group" only to define unified directories for COMMON files of multiple X desktop environments, not for some rogue applications to hide their own private files. Each of files placed in those directories is extensively documented by other XDG standards. Later some people started to abuse those directories and put there files, that never supposed to be there. Those people don't really think about standards or unification. Usually they just enable displaying hidden files in their file manager, see a lot of dotfiles in a home directory and think that "this is wrong". They start searching how to "fix" this, find xdg basedir-spec, and use it as an excuse for moving ~/.appname files, to ~/.config/appname, or worse, split them among .config, .local, .cache... They don't think about /etc/xdg, they don't read FHS or other XDG standards, they don't care about people who have to do 2-4 times more work to find and migrate settings of selected application to another machine, they just don't want to see dotfiles. But don't blame XDG standard for that, blame people abusing it to reduce the number of dotfiles in their home directory.

I could understand not wanting to put it on lvm and then raid1. I agree with that. One generally uses RAID to keep a host running when a disk failure occurs. If swap is not mirrored, processes wil crash, or worst case the box might crash. If performance is an issue, then you'd better go hardware raid.

[SOLVED] Re: Re: how to play VOB files using xine?
If these VOBs form a DVD structure (VIDEO_TS directory, files with names such as VTS_01_1.VOB or something similar), you can run something like xine dvd:/path/to/your/dvd/structure If not, then you could try to form a DVD structure, but the files have to contain the whole DVD, menus and everything. You may have only the video itself. This works! Thank you, Eduardo! Before, I've tried open the VOB files directly.

how to play VOB files using xine?
Hi, some VOB files has the menus and I cannot understand how to handle such menus.

dhcp3-server and pcmcia
Hello, I'm trying to use an old Compaq Contura with 2 3COM 3c589D pcmcia NIC's as a router/firewall between my home network and my cable modem. I use Debian3.0r2 and Shorewall 1.4. The internal network should be served with DHCP(dhcp3). Here are two little problems: 1) dhcp3-server won't start by itself. It is started from /etc/rc2.d/S20dhcp3-server. The pcmcia service is also S20 from rc2.d. The NIC's (at least the one for the internal network) seem not to be ready when dhcp3-server is started. About 20 seconds after the pcmcia service is started this nic's reports to be initialized. When I start dhcp3-server from the commandline afterwards it starts without any problem. 2) Messages appear in the active console about switching from coax to 10baseT for eth0 (not connected yet). I found something in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts (IF_PORT) but cannot figure out how this affects each NIC. I tried 'ifport eth0 10baseT' from the command-line and this works. My question is how can I arrange both things the Debian way so I keep my system standard (for updates and maintainance)?

I'm using waimea, which has 9 desktops by default. They can easily be switched, by moving the mouse out of the current desktop. I sometimes use up to 7-8 workspaces: one for mail client (fullscreen), one for IRC, on for XMMS and one for Mozilla. The other fill up with aterms and gvims. The idea is to basically have one workspace for one task. Waimea has a neat dockapp called wampager, which shows you on which dekstop you are. Using always the same desktop for predefined programms (mail client, irc, xmms, mozilla) makes it easy to remember where your programms are.

routing help on dual homed box
hi, i'm working on a new firewall box that will have a cable modem connection to replace my current box that uses dial up. the cable box gets its ip via dhcp from @home. for what follows, firewall box on cable will be referred to as C, firewall on dial-up as D. the two firewall boxes are running potato. boxes on the lan are all running some version of debian (from potato to sid). both of the firewall boxes have two interfaces, one for the external connection and one for the internal lan. obviously the external connections are different with D having a nic and C having a dial-up modem. with regard to the internal interfaces, these should be the same on both firewalls - i.e., one nic running to a hub that all the boxes on the lan plug into. (that is my assumption). on box C, i have eth0 as the external link, eth1 as the internal link. the problem i'm having is as follows. the external link is fine using dhcpcd. i get the connection, can access external sites, dns, etc. however, box C cannot talk to any of the hosts on the lan. both of its nics are recognized at boot, as well as in ifconfig, and i can see the nic on eth1 light up when trying to ping any host on the lan. the hub also flashes at the junction where the cable from eth1 enters, but no other lights on the hub go up. lan boxes cannot ping box C. if i unplug box C from the hub and plug in box D, the latter can reach all the lan boxes. lan boxes can reach box D. i'm wondering if this is a routing problem? this is what the routing table looks like for box C: gateway for cable connection: ip=65.10.98.1 eth1 is assigned ip=192.168.1.1 on the lan Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 65.10.98.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 00 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 0.0.0.0 65.10.98.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth1 here is the routing table from one of the hosts on the lan: (ip=192.168.1.4) Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 i've unplugged my external link, dropped the firewall to see if that was blocking access to the lan, but no joy. if i replace host C with host D, the lan can communicate with the firewall box (i.e., same routing table for the hosts on the lan works). the routing table for the dial-up firewall (box D) is: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 130.191.40.10.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 0.0.0.0 130.191.40.10.0.0.0 UG0 00 ppp0 any clues as how to debug this further would be most appreciated. thanks, serge -- Sergio J.

bad superblock recovery help?
here is a strange problem i can't quite debug. on a thinkpad x20 i have set up to dual boot debian (potato) and windows, i just got done burning a cd, using xcdroast. to do this i shutdown the box, put attach the ultrabase which has the burner and boot into linux. i've done this many times in the past, but for some reason i ran into a problem this time. after my last burning session i shut down and disconnected the ultrabase. i don't like the feel of typing with the base connected so i only use it to burn or rip. anyway, after a reboot, i went to mount my windows partition (cause it is where i store all my mp3 files) and got the following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /win98 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems in the past this mount worked fine. since this previously worked, i'm ruling out the wrong "fs type" option, leaving the bad superblock or too many mounted file systems as the source of the problem. as for the too many mounted file systems, i'm leaning towards ruling that out as well: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /dev/hda4 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) i'm posting this to user as i don't think it is a laptop specific problem. here is what /etc/fstab looks like: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # /dev/hda4 / ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 noneswapsw 0 0 proc/proc procdefaults0 0 /dev/fd0/floppy autodefaults,user,noauto0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /win98 vfatnoauto,rw,user,nosuid,sync,mode=0777 i tried a reboot, to see if i could get into the windows partition but when i selected that stanza in lilo, lilo hangs at "L?" (again, this used to work prior to this recent problem). i can boot into linux just fine. a look at my partition table reveals: Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 2584 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 814 6153808+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 2504 2584612360 1c Hidden Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda3 815 847249480 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 848 2503 12519360 83 Linux i'm thinking something got hozed on hda1 during my recent cdburning session? but i'm not sure how to proceed. i was (perhaps stupidly) using the windows partition to store the images mastered under xcdroast - this seemed to cause no problems previously, but perhaps this is a possible source of my problem. any suggestions about how to go about repairing hda1 would be most appreciated. thanks, serge -- Sergio J.

RE: Firewalls and IP Maskerade
Hey, I am able to access the internet from my linux box. I tried a few sites with lynx, and they all connected. My /etc/network/interface file has the following entry when I boot up, which is sufficient to properly configure my cable modem NIC as it seems. iface eth1 inet dhcp That /etc/network/interface file is "execute" on start-up I gather? Could I add an entry for my other NIC? How would I do so if possible? It doesn't seem like I will need to reconfigure the eth1 NIC (since I can access the net). But if I had to and wanted to configure it has a "static ip", how would I go about finding my cable modem ip (24.200.41.cablemodemIPnumber)? Finally, I tried the apt-get command. I got an error saying it could not find the packages or something. Do I have to specify where it should look for it (soruces.lists or something)?

Problem: dselect "Select" function stopped working, hangs
Hi,
I am having a problem that makes "dselect" unusable: when I go to the
"select" option, it blanks the screen and consumes all cpu but never
finishes. I have run "lsof" and found that during this it opens the file
"/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i" and nothing else of note. I have just
performed a few (successful) apt-get operations by hand ("apt-get install
somepackage" and "apt-get update") and now dselect started acting this way.
- Maybe something in the downloaded package lists confused dselect. Can I
somehow purge dselect's package lists so that it works again?
- I can't seem to uninstall dpkg or reinstall it either without risking to
seriously break my setup. Is there another front-end besides dselect? Is
there a front-end to apt?
I am using debian 2.1 upgraded from the "unstable" section to libc 2.1. Any
help will be appreciated!

xserver-3dlabs - libc6 (slink vs. potatoe)?
I'm trying to get x configured and I have a Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro card. This requires xserver-3dlabs_3_3_5-1.deb, but when I downloaded and tried to install that package, it was not configured due to dependencies on more recent versions of libc6 and xserver common. These new versions of libc6 and xserver common appear to be only available in potatoe, while my base installation is in slink. I'd like advice on the following questions: 1) If I install the newer versions of libc6 and xserver common, will this allow for the installation of the 3dlabs package? 2) Is it not a great idea to update the libc6 package, without installing the rest of potatoe? 3) If this is a bad idea, is there an alternative way for me to get x configured for this card?

There exist two methods of X russification: locale based (symbols determs by special names which describes in keysymdef.h) method based on hex codes of symbols. The second method always works, the first works only with programs that knows the locale. StarOffice don't know russian locale :(. I use the second method: my keyboard map based on hex codes of russian symbols and my XLOCALE is ISO-8859-1. Thus I down't have this problem. -- Serge Gavrilov Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering, Laboratory of Hydroelasticity, St.Petersburg, Russia | URL: http://www.ipme.ru/ipme/labs/he/serge.htm

No. This is a bug. What version of open package do you use? I used 1.4-10. I have sent bug report and maintainer answered me that I need to take 1.4-13 from potato. Both 1.4-13 and 1.4-9 from hamm does not have this bug.

Hi! Now i have installed Slink. But I have a problem: /bin/open does not work properly.

telnet break-in
I only have a simple dial-out PPP connection from my ISP. I'm still on a Bo system with shadow password enable. Two days ago I see this message from my xconsole: Aug 20 10:19:56 ordino in.telnetd[349]: connect from ppp-014.m4-1.mtl.ican.net Aug 20 10:20:01 ordino telnetd[349]: ttloop: peer died: Success I understand the first line; somebody requested a telnet session from my system. The second one I'm not sure...who cut the connection, the other side or my system? To this date I did not really care about security, I'm the only user and I'm on line for short periods, but now I'm getting a little panicked...is Bo security ok or should/can I do more? Do I have to deny requests for telnet and ftp sessions or is on by default? Paranoid. -- .~.

Couldn't get a free page.....
I don't think it's debian specific and really a big problem...just curious. Sometimes when booting I get this message just after the swap partitions are initialized, so it must be when fsck is running. The booting process goes ok to the end and the system is stable. It seems to occur only when I have a forced filesystem check. So just after loggin in here is the output of free: total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 31164 30044 1120 4884 20096 3808 -/+ buffers: 6140 25024 Swap:64472 24 64448 Am I correct in saying that fsck need some space to write God knows what and since the disks are read-only it uses ram? -- -- Serge Delorme ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berthierville, Quebec Canada ABUSUS NON TOLLIT USUM -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

irqtune
Hi all, I'm trying to increase the speed of my ppp connection by any means I can find. Thus I installed the deb package hwtools to use irqtune... Problem is the module irqtune_mod.o won't load. Even when I do an ismod as root I have the same error message: "couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for" Having recompiled the default kernel 2.0.29 in debian 1.3.1 to 2.0.30 (to get rid of scsi support and to make good use of kerneld ie: no modules loaded at bootup) before installing hwtools and having not set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS when configuring the kernel I recompile hwtools from the sources...no luck. Since english is not my natural language I'm begining to think I made a mistake when compiling the kernel, maybe I should have go with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to yeswell before recompiling it I give a shot here... By the way the others modules load and unload ok under kerneld.
