3G-Internet-band width - load balancing not working proper in Stretch
Hello, I'm using Stretch for a long time now on an amd64-PC together with a 3G-Internet-Modem-Stick. The behaviour how Stretch handles the band width and does load balancing between different applications is simply disastrous! For example: if I download large updates per "apt" it is not possible to open-up/load any site in "firefox"; just at the moment, when "apt" switches from one download to the other, than the page in "firefox" begins to load (as slow as if I had an ancient 56k dial-up-modem...). Also Stretch does not tap the full potential of the 3G-Modem's speed I guess - and this is not a provider-thing! With the same PC and another Linux-distribution all this does not happen, so this is obviously Stretch-related! By the way: it also worked fine in Jessie... - so maybe it's a Debian-related "systemd-thing"? Due to the fact that Stretch comes out as "stable-version" within the next days (after almost doubled developing-time of two years), isn't that something to think about...? Regards Jack

Looking at those files makes me think of a possible installation error: that one or more partitions on the old install were used and mounted "without reformatting" for the new install. Is there a timestamp check that could be performed (install time/date for the file, rather than the datetime that ls -l shows? Could be.

My guess is that this situation is the result of invoking: dpkg -X *deb / or, simply unpacking a tarball into /. But your guess is as good as mine. The only package I installed via dpkg was youtube-dl, as I couldn't get it by invoking apt-get install (and I still can't). I downloaded it from the browser, and true, I did not verified the package (is there a common way to do that?) Yet, there is another thing - OP claims that he didn't install anything like this.

Please note the difference between *are/is* installed, and *were* installed.

The OP never responded to my query about the other files that would have been installed - or checked the installation history with dpkg --get-selections (it won't show if purge was run, but then, those files would likely not be left). Sorry I didn't follow up on this one... What info did you requested? How can I check if the package was installed (but is there no more)?

By the way, do not have sshd installed (and there is no /usr/sbin/sshd). I mentioned sshd as an example. There are plenty of ways to do remote connection to the host (telnet, VNC, XDMCP), all of them can be used for the root access. Just to be on a safe side, scan your host with 'nmap -sT -sU 1-65535' for both ipv4 and ipv6. Consider blocking everything unneeded with iptables. Great!

Hi I cannot see a package named "vmtoolsd" in the debian archives. But I can see a package named "open-vm-tools", which has files named like that: Yes, I know. No, I do not have "open-vm-tools" package. This package seems to be the VMware Tools bit intended to be installed on a guest VM - i.e. it does not provide virtualisation, but does stuff guests... Is your box a VMWare guest? If not, then you should not need open-vm-tools. Yes, I know. No, my computer is not a virtual machine and I did not install on it any virtual machine software (and especially not VMware). My guess was that somebody assumed it is a VM box. (That's why I mentioned stealing of processor cycles) I would not suspect this to be the case here. If you have the open-vm-tools package from the Debian repository, you should be safe.

boot from USB and install debian using grub2 and netinstall debian iso image
I'm trying to tackle this problem for a quite some time now, and I'm getting quite annoyed by the fact that I cannot find the straightforward solution for it... Actually, I want to do exactly as the example here [1] suggest. So, I foolishly assumed that this is going to be a simple problem. The basic idea is to install grub2 on the USB stick, copy iso images of various distribution and boot them from grub. A disclamer: I managed to boot live cd/dvd of several distributions and I managed to install debian from *live* cd. I actually managed to boot debian netinstall, but during installation the installer searches for the cd, and warns me that it cannot find cd. If I'm correct this is due to the fact that installer does not mount the iso image as cd/dvd (it is mounted somewhere like /lib/something/something/target, if I recall correctly).

yes, that worked. thanks. the firestarter is the one that overwrites my iptables. I could remove it, but I simply wonder is there any other alternative.

Re: Dot files, get them out of the way
Thanks Ralph, I guess it would do it. But I didn't plan to separate the conf files completely, I was hoping for a solution more alike Wilko's (if it works). After all we all have .config file in our home directory. It makes sense that all applications write their conf files there, instead "randomly" all around home directory. I was hoping for a way to force that. I do not know if this is possible, nor how to do it. It's funny that /etc is so well organized, but noone cares to do the same with the conf files *for users*. ...or is it just me?

What is the half bridge mode? Can it be configured as full-bridge mode? Many times, a small router crashes because they are acting as a stateful firewall. They just don't have enough memory. However, at full load as a bridge, the ADSL throughput is still very low, about 7Mbps compared to 90Mbps of a 10/100 Ethernet. I have not seen any of them failed to pass that much raw traffic yet.

However, the 32M CF filesystem is supposed to be used in a production environment. I would not expect people to do update frequently. It is somewhat similar to what Cisco is doing with their routers, like the 2500/3600. A complete system is actually contained in just one file or image. The flash upgrade should only happen once in a few months, like maybe twice a year. In your case, it is different since it is designed to be more of a "real" development system.

What I did in the article is for the OpenBrick-E. The OpenBrick-E has 256M RAM in the default configuration, compared to the 128M RAM OpenBrick. My next step would be to uncompress the cloop- based filesystem and mount its entirety on the tempfs. Next, I would be able to upgrade it on the fly. The only limit is the size of the ramdisk, which is 256M for the OpenBrick-E. Then, I just have to compress it again into the a clooped filesystem and to store it on the compactflash. I do have a long to-do list, before it will be ready to be packaged. Personally, I don't think it is safe to mount the compactflash as the "live" root filesystem. It is not designed to have that many write-cycles as a regular hard disk. So, even with a larger size compactflash, what we are doing will still be valuable contributions. Thanks.

X has build in CJK( chinese japanese korean) fonts. You just need to
install them. dpkg -l xfonts* will list them.
arphic fonts are some truetype font for Chinese. X can use truetype
fonts if you installed xfs-xtt(good for cjk) or xfstt

I have installed the 2.0.36 kernel and it seems to work well with the memory but the system itself is unstable. Sometimes, expecially when I run big programs, the system comes down with the message like "Segmentation fault". But when I set the memory to 32M, 64M, or 128M, the system works well.

low throughput on PPP link
Currently we are building two Debian boxes(2.0.30) running as routers with a PPP link in between. Things are mostly going fine except the link throughput. 56kbps is the best it gets while we are expecting over 100kbps since we are using the 16550A UART serial cards. Here's the details: == serial port settings = /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte Flags: spd_vhi skip_test session_lockout == ppp link settings pppd persist passive proxyarp /dev/ttyS0 57600 &(local) pppd persist passive defaultroute /dev/ttyS0 57600 &(remote) The reason why we didn't set the speed up to 115200 in pppd is that it will bring the link down! (while using Slackware doesn't have this situation) We were acknowledged that a combination of "setserial -b /dev/ttyS0 spd_vhi"and "pppd persist passive proxyarp /dev/ttyS0 38400 &" will achieve the full speed of 115200, yet the testing result we have is just slower that using 57600. Not any clue in Robert Hart's Linux PPP HOWTO, nor in "The Linux Serial HOWTO by Greg Hankins". Any pointer? Thanks in advance.

I am having problems configuring NIS in Debian 1.3. I set one up as master and one as client, no shadow passwd. From the client, I can do "ypcat passwd", and see NIS distributed users. But when I try to log in as one of the NIS users, it just does not work. I think I am having a passwd problem. Appreciate any advices/suggestions. Bao -- Bao C.

Debian 1.3 problems
I installed Debian 1.3. Now, I am having problems logging in as a normal user. When logging in root, I got a message about "delay bypassed, root allowed to log in". Also, when I shutdown, I got a prompt about logging in for maintenance mode, or control-d to shutdown. Pressing control-d does not do anything. Appreciate any comments/suggestions.

Unidentified subject!
I've just upgraded my web server and also switched from Slackware to Debian Linux. I must admit Debian is definitely a very impressive package. There are problems even in a wonderful land, though. I have only one registered hostname (one IP address for this machine). Is it possible for me to leave the old server running on Slackware and setup a new web site on the new system? Does anybody know what is the best thing to do make this migration possible? Many thanks, Lan Ha SFSU Career Center
