need help: unmet dependencies
Dear all, I don't know much about linux and need your kind help. My son's Raspberry Pi 4B's OS is "Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" (from "/etc/os-release"). Yesterday I tried to run "apt update" "apt upgrade", but it stuck at upgrading package "chromium-browser" (The progress status bar froze; cannot ssh to it anymore; although I still can ping it). I had to shut it down and reboot it. I tried it several times but it always stuck whenever trying to install the package. I also got the following warning: You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: chromium-browser : Depends: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra (= 126.0.6478.164-rpt1) but 122.0.6261.89-rpt1 is to be installed or chromium-codecs-ffmpeg (= 126.0.6478.164-rpt1) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: chromium-browser-l10n but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). When I ran "apt --fix-broken install", I got the following message: The following additional packages will be installed: chromium-browser chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra The following packages will be upgraded: chromium-browser chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra But when I continued with the installation, it froze again: Reading changelogs... 33% What should I do? My "/etc/apt/sources.list" is quite simple: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware Thank you very much!

Morgan, Hi Andy, Thanks for coming back to me:- Possibly just don't use calamares. Use the standard Debian installer (d-i for short). Either the standard or expert installs offer you "ordinary" LVM or encrypted LVM with LUKS, made even more straightforward if you can choose Actually, it was calamares that worked better than d-i - after failing with Debian's calamares live install I followed the instructions for d-i here: https://www.blakehartshorn.com/installing-debian-on-existing-encrypted-lvm/ Blake Hartshorn seems to do a pretty good job of describing the problem and solution. However, it wasn't a solution for me because the install failed repeatedly over the course of a couple of days (I was using 10.10 cf. BH using 10.4) - it wasn't until after I'd invested in a new flash drive and continued with the same fails that I tried the PureOS live install, which worked. You can read a full discussion of my woes here: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1564#issuecomment-898246354 Essentially, d-i couldn't get passed either the base system dpkg install (most usually base-passwd) or the following software install. The dpkg warnings were thrown on "parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 5 package 'dpkg' : missing description field" with errors on the stateoverride file. I would have filed bug reports but then Debian went to 11 and I figured there'd be a new disk spun so it was all history anyway and I had a working machine with PureOS. Also: the standard size for swap is now 1G and for a dedicated /tmp partition of 2G. That's interesting - so nothing for hibernation on swap? I gave 8G to allow for hibernation, but would happily give it away if I could? Many thanks. -- Morgan Read UNITED KINGDOM Em: Confused about DRM?

Thank you very much Greg for your detailed reply - and my apologies for not coming back to you sooner, but I've had a little struggle getting myself back up and running over the past few days or so. The object of the exercise was to get my laptop a little more in tune with my home server - I back up my two laptop user accounts to the server (there's a guest account too); I started with one admin user on my server but then needed user accounts to match my laptop accounts - but, my admin account was at 1000 which is where my first laptop user account was... The rest follows with a predictable logic - except that I felt that having the admin account on 1000 was aesthetically pleasing :) > change only UID 1000 to UID 1003, leaving UIDs 1001 and 1002 alone. guess that's aesthetics again - my personal account was my first account, so that's where I prefer it in the pecking order... > 6) If you're really paranoid, look for any other files owned by UID > 1000 anywhere on the system: find / -user 1000 -ls If you do find > any, deal with them manually. Thank you - that does seem a little less reckless than my initial approach... I have a RAID on the server I back up to - I guess I'll do for it as you suggest I do for the home directories. Keep well. -- Morgan Read UNITED KINGDOM Em: OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Thanks David - I do have my home directories all comfortably backed-up to a raid device on my local server - I stopped taking stuff off-site a year or so ago.

Re: can't login via gdm
Thanks Il and Zoltan,
In a nutshell - yes, yes, and yes...
However, I only realised the error when I logged into my headless
server terminal where I use an 'admin' user account rather than root
for admin as I did on my laptop - thus, on my laptop I was never
confronted with a failed terminal login, only failed graphic logins
which didn't tell me anything... And so now i've done even more damage
reinstalling... See here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/08/msg00571.html
So, it seems that
# find / -user 1002 -execdir chown 1003 '{}' \;
Didn't perform as I expected...
I was attempting to modify
# for i in `find / -user 1001`; do chown 3001 $i; done

Many thanks (again).
Can't boot following re-install to LVM on LUKS [was: can't login via gdm]
Hi List, Since my cry for (fairly minor) help here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/08/msg00461.html I think I've dug myself into a bit of a deep hole. After having overcome a fairly fundamental bug with calamares as described here: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1564#issuecomment-846321060 And, (unnecessarily as it turned out) re-installed my system, I find I'm unable to boot. Instead of getting a password prompt for my luks lvm partition, I get dropped to the shell with the following error: cryptsetup: ERROR: luks-[some UUID]: cryptsetup failed, bad password or options? /bin/cat: /crypto_keyfile.bin: No such file or directory Nothing to read on input In (initramfs) /cryptroot/crypttab There is luks-[some UUID] UUID=[some UUID] /crypto_keyfile.bin luks,keyscript=/bin/cat I can manually mount my my luks volume so: cryptsetup open /dev/sda3 --type luks [some UUID] Enter passphrase for /dev/sda3: To here: /dev/mapper/[some UUID] But, from there the LVM LVs don't get mounted and if I exit to boot then I get dropped back to the shell. And, lvm2 doesn't seem to be in initramfs. I can reboot to the live install usb image and when I do: sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda3 --type luks [some UUID] Enter passphrase for /dev/sda3: >From the terminal, then the lvm on luks volumes pop up as expected immediately decrypted, named under /dev/mapped/[some VG-LV-name], /dev/[some VG]/[some LV], enumerated at /dev/dm-xyz etc and mounted under /media/user/[partition label] So, may be calamares has more than one bug with LVM on LUKS? Or, as the above bug only refers to LVM and not LUKS, perhaps I've done (or not done) something silly during the install with calamares and LUKS (though, it does seem a pretty pedestrian walk through of the install process). I guess, there's something not referenced in the initramfs? Any pointers to a way back from Armageddon would be great :) Thanks. -- Morgan Read E mst...@read.org.nz (GM)
can't login via gdm
Hello List,
I ran the following to change my users UID & GIDs - but, now I have no
graphic gdm login. I have no problem with a terminal login and the
same worked on a terminal based server.
After boot, gdm attempts to start but fails with a blinking cursor in
the top left corner - I can switch to tty2 etc. Does anyone know what
stupidity I may have inflicted upon myself?
Commands executed:
# usermod -u 1003 guest
# usermod -u 1002 joe
# usermod -u 1001 blow
# groupmod -g 1003 guest
# groupmod -g 1002 joe

help: apt stuck at 0% [Waiting for headers]
Dear friends, I need some help here. I worked in a university and have a linux (debian 9) machine with DHCP. For some reason I needed a static IP and two weeks ago the university sent someone who helped me set up the static IP. From what I saw the file they modified is the "/etc/network/interfaces". However, I found that now I cannot update/install packages. "apt update" stuck at "0% [Waiting for headers]" for a long time and then give the following message: Ign:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease Ign:2 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease Err:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates Release Connection failed [IP: 151.101.50.132 80] Ign:4 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch-updates InRelease Err:5 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch Release Connection failed [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] Err:6 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch-updates Release Connection failed [IP: 128.61.240.89 80] Reading package lists...

"apt list package_name" still gives information about the package, but "apt install package_name" is stuck at "0% [Waiting for headers]". The internet connection has no problem.

installing two versions of a user application
Hello Folks, Some little time ago I made a jump from another distro into Debian. When I made that jump I took with me a few proprietary applications that I make a lot of use of. One in particular is causing me a bit of a headache - Master PDF Editor by Code Industry: https://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor/ Master PDF Editor is now well into version 5, but when it transitioned from v4 to v5 it left a lot of its functionality (in the no cost version) behind. So, I'd always kept a copy of the old v4 rpm to hand and installed alongside v5 in my old distro. Version 4 has long since become unavailable, but I was able to make good use of alien to magic my v4 rpm into a v4 deb. BUT, now I can not install both v4 and v5 alongside one another. When I install v4, v5 is removed; when I install v5, v4 is removed. This wasn't a problem under the old distro. Each version is installed into its own directory, either: /opt/master-pdf-editor-4 or /opt/master-pdf-editor-5. I tried to force it with the following, but... $ sudo apt install ./master-pdf-editor-4.3.89_qt5.x86_64.deb ./master-pdf-editor-5.7.08-qt5_included.x86_64.deb Reading package lists...

efibootmgr headach?
Hello Folks,
(Apologies for the long post, but there's a lot of circularity to follow...)
I'm finding it difficult to understand the relationship between
efibootmgr, what's showing up in my F10 boot 'BIOS setup options >
System Configuration > Boot Options' and what exists under /boot/efi/EFI
I was trying to boot from standard PureOS usb boot image. No trouble
booting from usb before (iirc). Trying to boot from the usb has failed
with the machine going straight to into debian.
I booted with F10 into the 'BIOS setup options > System Configuration >
Boot Options' and selected the boot order under 'UEFI Boot Order' to be
'USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk', 'USB CD/DVD ROM Drive' and finally
'OS Boot Manager'. Changing that order didn't change anything ('OS Boot
Manager' was initially first). Next boot I had a look under the 'OS
Boot Manager' menu and there were a couple of old entries other than
'debian': 'fedora' and 'Windows Boot Manager'. ('Doz$ left my system 5
years ago when it arrived in the post...)
After a bit of Internet searching I discovered efibootmgr and also that
redundant entries can accumulate under /boot/efi/EFI. Under
/boot/efi/EFI I discovered:
$ sudo ls /boot/efi/EFI
BOOT debian fedora
And, efibootmgr:
$ sudo efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,,0001,
Boot* fedora
Boot0001* Solid State Disk
Boot0004* debian
Boot* USB Drive (UEFI)
'efibootmgr -b 0 -B' got rid of the fedora entry from both efibootmgr
and the BIOS 'OS Boot Manager' menu, but left /boot/efi/EFI/fedora which
I delete manually.
efibootmgr -n produced:
'The selected boot device failed. Press to Continue.'
On next boot followed by the 'Boot Manager - Boot Options Menu' with
listings as for the 'OS Boot Manager'
efibootmgr -t 10 does seem to have an effect, counting the difference
between t=0 and t=10 and reboot and grub menu - but, I never see an OS
boot menu to choose between 'USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Disk', 'USB
CD/DVD ROM Drive' and 'OS Boot Manager'
So, I was left with:
'Windows Boot Manager'
'debian'
Under the F10 boot 'BIOS setup options > System Configuration > Boot
Options' menu;
BOOT debian
directories under /boot/efi/EFI;
And, efibootmgr gave me-
$ sudo efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,0001,
Boot0001* Solid State Disk
Boot0004* debian
Boot* USB Drive (UEFI)
I had a punt that 'Boot0001* Solid State Disk' /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT and
the Boot Options' menu entry 'Windows Boot Manager' might be related so
did 'efibootmgr -b 1 -B' and that removed the 'Boot Options' menu entry
'Windows Boot Manager' but not /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT. So, I moved
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT to /BOOT and nothing seemed to change on rebooting -
so, I put back /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT and low and behold, under the 'Boot
Options' menu the 'Windows Boot Manager' had reappeared and efibootmgr
now gives me:
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,0005,
Boot0004* debian
Boot0005* Solid State Disk
Boot* USB Drive (UEFI)
I feel like I'm going completely potty!!! Is anyone able to shed some
light on what is going on? And, get me able to boot from my usb flash
drive...? (Again.)
System info to follow.
Thanks,
Morgan.

how to remove GUI
Dear friend, I recently installed Debian 9.13 on my machine. I was planning to use it for scientific computation so GUI is not necessary. For some reason, I installed the desktop environment with LXDE desktop during installation. Later I decided to remove them. These two commands were executed: tasksel remove desktop apt purge $(tasksel --task-packages desktop) However, after rebooting the system still has GUI. Here is the result of "tasksel --list-tasks": u desktop Debian desktop environment u gnome-desktop GNOME u xfce-desktop Xfce u kde-desktop KDE u cinnamon-desktop Cinnamon u mate-desktop MATE u lxde-desktop LXDE u web-serverweb server i print-server print server i ssh-serverSSH server u laptoplaptop So it seems the desktop package was removed. But why it still has GUI? It is pretty much an absolute clean installation. The only thing I did between OS installation and removing GUI is the installation of cuda package (for GPU driver). "nvidia-smi" gives: |0 1730 G /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg 132MiB | |0 2285 G kwin_x11 17MiB | |0 2292 G /usr/bin/krunner 2MiB | |0 2295 G /usr/bin/plasmashell 45MiB | |0 3091 G ...4-linux-gnu/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet 28MiB So plasmashell and x11 are not part of desktop? What is the correct way to completely remove GUI? Thank you. Michael

mount an external usb hdd and share it through samba
Dear all, I have an external usb hdd. I would like to automount it on boot and share it through samba. 1) So I put it in the fstab. It automounts correctly on boot, no problem: UUID=XXX /usb-hdd ext4 defaults,nofail 0 0 2) I then share the directory "/usb-hdd" through samba (in smb.conf) after it was mounted. No problem again: [usb-hdd] comment = raid5-usb path = /usb-hdd read only = No valid users = michaelm 3) however, if the machine restarts, automounts works but the samba share always fails. I can easily fix it by: systemctl restart smbd Since automount works, and samba will work well if I restart it, my guess is that on boot, samba (smbd service) starts before /usb-hdd is mounted. To make it working, I need make sure the fstab mounting happens before samba starts. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Or, any better solution for auto mount and share a usb HDD? Thank you very much.

Where is CC and why do my downloads not find it?

Netlogo not packaged for Squeeze?
Netlogo doesn't seem to be packaged for squeeze. I find this strange because Netlogo has been around for a while, is widely used, and is licenced under the GPL. Details, see page,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetLogo and the source is available from https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo What's the best way to proceed? Is there an "unofficial" package somewhere? Is it planned to be in Wheezy? Regards Roger

I eventually solved this as follows. 1. Uninstall samba completely including configs: the following packages: samba samba-doc samba-common samba-common-bin libwbclient0 swat smbclient libsmbclient webmin and their dependencies. 2. Check samba directories /var/lib/samba and /etc/samba don't exist any more. 3. Reboot 4. Install packages: samba samba-common samba-common-bin libwbclient0 smbclient 5. List users with pdbedit. (the installation, trying to be smart, had added 4 users). Tried: smbclient -L lyra and responding with my password, still didn't work, but produced an error message instead of timing out. I googled for it and found somebody else had had the same problem and fixed it by deleting the users which installation had added with pdbedit, and re-creating them with smbpasswd -a. 6. Delete the users found in step 5 with pdbedit, and add the users needed with smbpasswd. Then everything works. This is an old installation of Samba, going back to lenny, and I conclude that the upgrades didn't do exactly what they should have. The clean install should not be different from an upgraded install but it clearly was.

After setting log level = 3, rebooting, and running smbclient again,
there are 4 logfiles. The extra 2 are log.lyra and log.__fff_127.0.0.1
All four are copied below

Problem with Samba on Squeeze
Samba is running but I can't connect to it, and when I do the following test
(from the Samba server):
smbclient -L servername
the response (after entering correct password) is:
cut here---
Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
session setup failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 2
milliseconds
---end of response--
the Samba programs are running, here's the relevant part of the output of ps
-ef
| grep mb
root 1969 1 0 18:13 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D

And here's my smb.conf file:

# You may wish to use password encryption. See the section on
# 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.
# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using.
# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan
<
for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.
## Domains ###

# must have this setting enabled. If you are the BDC you must
# change the 'domain master' setting to no
#

#
# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set
# It specifies the location of the user's profile directory
# from the client point of view)

# samba server (see below)

Chromium gets new builds once every 20 minutes or so... so if you're running Chromium, then you need to make sure you've gotten the latest and greatest. see http://build.chromium.org/ for the buildbot waterfall and all sorts of goodies. If someone's locked the tree to hack on something, it might take a little longer, so beware.

What happens is: I start up the box Everything looks good until GDM starts X starts up Box graphically locks. I can SSH into the machine and write out an xorg.conf, and magically *behold!* it works. Worked on Lenny, works under *ubuntu and with Crunchbang (it includes an xorg.conf IIRC...) Once you have it configured using xorg.conf, it works fine, but X's autodetection seems to have failed more and more over time... -- Morgan Gangwere PGP Key at http://indrora.homelinux.org/gpg_key.asc >> Why? > Because it breaks the logical flow of conversation, plus makes messages unreadable. >>> Top-Posting is evil. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Conky and GKrellM both do a nice job. I personally use a Conky
configuration where I have what works to this effect:

eth0: up, addr $alignr ${addr eth0}
Up ${alignr} Down
${upspeed eth0}${alignr}${downspeed eth0}
${upspeedgraph, 20,100 eth0}${alignr}${downspeedgraph 20,100 eth0}
${else}
eth0: down

GKRellM is a bit different, and has a much more graphical look to it.

Here's the problem though: Disk thrashing is *bad*. I mean *really* bad. I dislike it when an app decides that there's an infinite amount of bandwidth available to them, both for network access and disk access. Anything that *relies* on disk caching (save, maybe for a swapdisk) is generally going to *slog*. What FF does is not cache the /content/ to disk, but the ENTIRE memory stream. This would be good if I had a nice set of SATA-3 RAID'd disks with a link right to the mobo, but its *not* good when you have a tiny little PATA disk that barely pulls 40GB. I'm not going to argue semantics or details (especially not here) but this is more a fundamental flaw of application design as it is currently taught. I took a C++ class where the instructor used a book which claimed that "Desktop computers have at lest 1GB of RAM available at any one given time" and that malloc'ing 1GiB at a time is a "Good Idea". they also claimed that "Modern Computers have at least 10GB of free space" -- I've worked on boxes (debian boxes even!) where the free space was measured in /a few hundred megs/.

phpBB
I'm using Debian Etch and am trying to install phpBB using the standard package manager. phpBB needs a database, and I already have other apps on the machine that use a MySQL server on another machine on the same LAN. So I expect that phpBB will be able to use the remote MySQL server as well. But when I try to install from the Debian package, it can't. It brings up a dialog box,'If you have not yet created a database and want to do so now, choose "Create".' (with some other options). I pick that, and it asks me for the root password for the database, but it doesn't ask me which host the MySQL server is running on, so not surprisingly, it fails. The phpBB package seems to assume that the database server will always run on localhost, which is a really bad assumption. If you have a LAN (and who doesn't?), obviously you will want to run the MySQL server on just one machine and let all the others use it.

X11 session over ssh, problem
The problem is that I ssh to a server, and then try to run a program that requires an X display. I want it to use the X server on my workstation. It doesn't. It just does nothing. Details: Three machines on my LAN are relevant. Call the one I'm sitting at O, and the others A and B. O runs Sarge, A runs Etch, and B runs woody. From O, I can successfully use X over ssh on A; I do this on O: xterm -e ssh A & then on A I can run stuff like xpdf and it opens a window on O, as expected. But if I do the same to B (i.e. xterm -e ssh B &), then try to run a program like xpdf which uses X, it doesn't work. xpdf just sits in the background, doing nothing, until some timeout occurs, then emits the error message: "Cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0". The problem is not specific to xpdf, it's the same with any X program (but some emit additional error-message text). Here's the contents of /etc/ssh/sshd_config on B, excluding comments: Port 22 ListenAddress 192.168.1.9 Protocol 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key UsePrivilegeSeparation yes PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt no KeyRegenerationInterval 3600 ServerKeyBits 768 SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevel INFO LoginGraceTime 600 PermitRootLogin no StrictModes yes RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes RhostsAuthentication no IgnoreRhosts yes RhostsRSAAuthentication no HostbasedAuthentication no PermitEmptyPasswords no PasswordAuthentication yes X11Forwarding yes AllowTcpForwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 PrintMotd no KeepAlive yes Subsystem sftp/usr/lib/sftp-server and here's the contents of ssh_config on B (comments stripped): Host * ForwardX11 yes The contents of files on O are presumably correct, since everything works when I do xterm -e ssh A & The DISPLAY environment variable seems to be set correctly on B: echo $DISPLAY gives localhost:10.0 which is correct for redirecting an X session back to my workstation, it has applied the X11DisplayOffset from the config file correctly. The /etc/hosts file on B starts with: 127.0.0.1 localhost xauth is installed on B, and if I delete the .Xauthority file, it gets re-created when I ssh to B (as it should). The files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are empty except for comments on all these machines. The file ~/.ssh/config on B contains one line: ForwardX11 yes (the file does not exist on A, by the way). I can't think of anything else to check.

Re: Need help installing RAID 0+1
Peter, thanks, I actually did use that guide to do the set-up, and it was very helpful. the problem I have is how do I move from having either a RAID0 or RAID1 to having BOTH. I have the four disks broken up into two RAID0 arrays of two disks each. what I want to do now is have the two RAID0 disks be 'mirrored' to each other - i.e. RAID1 when I try to use the "Create MD" It am told that I don't have any RAID partitions; but I can't set the RAID) partitions to physical RAID partition either. so that's where I am stalled out. I have the two RAID0 but can't figure out how to create a RAID1 out of them. -M On Feb 20, 2006, at 1:52 PM, Peter Colton wrote: On Monday 20 February 2006 16:47, Morgan Reed wrote: Fresh install of Debian 3.1 on a box with 4 SCSI 18.2 GB HD.

Need help installing RAID 0+1
Fresh install of Debian 3.1 on a box with 4 SCSI 18.2 GB HD. SCSI card is a non-RAID adaptec card. I am trying to set up the 4 drives as 2 RAID0 of 36 Gig each mirrored (RAID1) So far, I am able to get the two 36 GB RAID0 partitions set up, but then when I try to create another MD, it says I don’t have any more RAID partitions created. When I go back to the partioner, I am not able to make either RAID0 block into a RAID device. From what I have read, I should be able to create a RAID1 from the two RAID0 blocks I have (each RAID0 is made up of 2 drives) It’s possible I’m just not thinking about this the right way – what am I missing?

iptables TARPIT
Hi, Has anyone managed to get the iptables TARPIT module working with debian? I notice there's a module for it included with the iptables package: bollo:~# dlocate TARPIT iptables: /lib/iptables/libipt_TARPIT.so but getting it to work isn't that simple: bollo:~# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 135 -j TARPIT iptables: No chain/target/match by that name It's my understanding that support needs to be compiled into the kernel and I'm assuming this isn't the case with the stock debian kernels (at least the latest 2.6 in testing). Support seems to be provided by the patch-o-matic on the netfilter site, so I downloaded patch-o-matic, apt-get install'd the kernel source, apt-get source'd the iptables source and did: bollo:/usr/src/patch-o-matic-ng-20040621# KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux IPTABLES_DIR=/usr/src/iptables-1.2.11 ./runme extra Your iptables version is unknown for patch-o-matic at ./runme line 214 Has anyone had better luck than me?

need RAID driver for install, but no floppy drive
I'm trying to install Debian (3.0 r2) on a Penguin Computing Relion 140. It has an LSI MegaRAID disk controller; the driver is not present on CD1 of the install CD's, so the install can't find any hard disks to install on. Interestingly, the driver is present on the floppy install set I downloaded, and of course you can download it. The problem is, this computer has no floppy drive. I tried a USB drive and it didn't work. So I can't install because I get to the point where the install asks for a floppy with the driver, and I can't provide it. There does not seem to be an option to provide the driver on another CD-rom. What is my best option here? I can think of 1) set up the network and install the driver from an NFS/FTP/HTTP share. 2) Make my own CD1 somehow, that includes the driver. I guess I can mount the iso, add the file(s) to the right folder, and then burn the iso to CD. But I don't know where to put the files. Honestly I don't even know if the .c and .h files (the ones I have) are what I need here. 3) Figure out how to get the install to recognize a USB floppy. Which should I try? How do I go about them? Anybody done this before, one of these ways, or some other way? I think I prefer #2, if that's possible. Although if HTTP will work, I can do that pretty easily.

I'll rerun lilo immediatly. > Thanks for the tip. > mess-mate Just try to keep in mind that, on installation (i.e. when you run "lilo"), lilo builds a map of physical locations (i.e. disk sectors) of what it needs at boot time. That's why it's so small and why it doesn't need to grok filesystems at boot time. The downside is that you need to remember to rerun it when you do anything which changes where stuff it needs physically resides. For instance, renaming a kernel image, copying a new kernel image into /boot with the same name as the prior kernel image, and then removing the old kernel image will put the new kernel image in a different physical location, even though everything "looks" exactly the same. In fact, lilo might even still be able to boot the old deleted image if none of its sectors get overwritten. That's speculation on my part - what is *not* speculation is that it will not be able to boot the new image because it knows nothing about it. The answer is always: "You can never run lilo too many times", or: "When in doubt, run lilo" :) I speak from experience: I have forgotten to run lilo more times than Madonna's dropped her underwear. -- paul It is important to realize that any lock can be picked with a big enough hammer. -- Sun System & Network Admin manual -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
