I have the caller display option on my phones service that returns the phone number of most incoming calls. I came across this idea after reading: If you want to go the freebie route, you can download free software that claims to block unwanted calls. This software works by hooking up your phone to your computer and letting the software screen incoming calls. Some of these downloads require you to have other hardware though. [1] Is there a package in Debian I should be aware of, something I can run on a personal computer? I was also considering designing embedded system to do the job, but I cringe at the thought of integrating a POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) modem in the embedded world. Debian includes Asterisk and YATE. That said, both (and FreeSwitch, mentioned below) are an overkill for a simple home system. That is: unless you want to add your own logic in at the price of extra complexity. You'll need a telephony adapter. A simple modem will not do, as there's no standard interface that I'm aware of to use a modem as a voice channel. Zaptel/DAHDI provides interfaces for (mostly) some specialized hardware. It is an out-of-tree kernel module, though included in Debian and actively maintained. (Disclaimer: I work for one company that makes such specialized hardware and am involved in DAHDI and Asterisk) Alternatively, if your PSTN is ISDN, you have some other options. Or you could try switching to a whole VoIP system - replacing your landline with a SIP line. Though that adds yet anthoer point of complexity and faliure. There's an interesting project around Asterisk on a cheap Blackfin-based embedded system. See http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ucasterisk.html However I tend to avoid the Blackfin, due to the system lacking an MMU and thus lacking long-term stability. But that's me. Also, as mentioend by Alan, you can use an external SIP-connected adapter. In that case I guess you could basically use just about any embedded system. I haven't got it set up right now, but in the past I have run freeswitch. Its essentially a better package than asterisk. You can download a .deb file from freeswitch.org. You can configure it pretty easily to do almost anything you want. FreeSwitch is a huge package of bundled software. Their tarball includes everything from arp to whatnot. They seem to avoid system copies on purpose. Good luck maintaining your system. I have some linksys boxes one of which takes standard phones and turns them into voip phones and the other of which will connect to a standard POTS line and convert the data from it into SIP traffic. PAP2T is the one that supports two phones. The other, I don't have the exact name of right now, but is a similar type of box to the PAP2T except one of the ports connects to the old telephone network. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best tzaf...@debian.org|| friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

3. You seem to have quite a few conditions. Consider removing some of

Also, what's the best way to add rules to /etc/udev to force my rules

Are there any other rules that apply?

With my clunky old hardware, telnet from Heaviside to Joule or Dalton opens in about 1 s. ssh requires about 15 s. I recall preferring rsh to ssh when working on s390 for the very same reason. However, one useful feature of ssh (that did not exist at the time) is that you can use one existing connection. In .ssh/config: Host * ControlMaster = auto ControlPath = ~/.ssh/control/%h__%p__%r__%l This means that the first connection to the system will have the full 15 seconds of handshaking. But the next one will simply connect on top of an existing connection. I suspect it would even be less than the 1 second for the telnet connection. If you have a number of simultanious connections, it may help. Alternatively, start a single control connection when you start working, and keep it working for as long as you need it.

crashes after resuming from suspend

Lately (not sure exactly when it started) resuming seems to be rather broken: * In one case a few processes failed (fakeroot would fail because getopt segfaulted, iceweasel would crash often, and in rather predictable ways. E.g. on same pages. Not sure what other problems) * At one time New processes simply segfaulted * At another time new commands failed to start due to some missing GLIBC_2.2.5 (IIRC) symbol. So I suspect some sort of memory corruption. But symptoms are a bit too generic, and a few searches have not provided me useful hints.

There are several ways to do that: 1. Passphrase-less key 2. key + ssh-agent I suppose people in this list are familiar with the above two. The down-sides with those two are: 1. They still require estabilishng an extra SSH connection per pressing of tab. 2. They may require extra setup on remoteMachine. Luckily openssh provides a better alternative. In my .ssh/config I have: Host * ControlMaster = auto ControlPath = ~/.ssh/socket/control_%h__%p__%r__%l This means that whenever I connect to a new host, ssh creates a socket that allows multiplexing new ssh connections on the already-established SSH connection. After-all the SSH protocol was designed to support multiple streams (for e.g. port forwarding). With this set, scp works nice and fast to a remote host.

On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 11:13:14AM -0500, Tom H wrote:
When I install a 2nd/3rd distrib on a HD, I have made it a practice
to set up fstab so the existing distrib are mounted automatically.
Repeated use leads to all functioning distrib to be crosslinked.
But when a distrib must be reinstalled because something drasticly
wrong happened, or whatever, access to that replacement distrib in
all the older distrib is broken because the UUID of the partition
is changed.
You could make a note of the UUID before the re-install then re-apply
it to the partition with
tune2fs -U uuid /dev/sdaX
However you *must* take a note. This is not something you can remember.
As opposed to a partitioning scheme, that you can remember.
UUIDs are also a fine method for making your life interesting when you
want to recover a system backed up on a different hardware.
For instance, I had a digikam images database on a system whose
motherboard had some issues. No problems. I copied the whole thing to a
new home directory (of the same user, same UID, same path) on a
different system. However digikam fails to use the database. It insists
I have the incorrect UUID. Natually it does not allow me to fix things.
This is intended to protect against using the wrong DoK (but will
protect you from copying the database to a different DoK). And
couldn't have been disabled from the user interface at the time.
It took me a few hours of digging in the code and file format to figure
out how to fake a non-UUID database.
So make sure you don't have the UUID listed in a host of places on the
disk when recovering the system to a different media. {Or|And} just try
to avoid it, if you can.

There are some window managers (e.g. the one of KDE) that support per-window keyboard mapping. Or rather: with XKB, you have up to 4 groups, and switching between them is relatively cheap. Thus this supports switching groups between windows. I suppose you can map querty for one groups and dvorak for another.

Dear Debian user,
I have a weird time-zone related issue on my machine. I observed that
the alarm-clock package was always ignoring my requests for an alarm
within an hour from now, and all other alarms used to go off with an
hour to spare.
When exactly does the alarm-clock program use the time-zone data?
So, I did some investigation, and found that it always
converted fixed times to the incorrect time, while the current time is
more clear.
To make it more clear, I wrote the following program:
/* gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` test.c -Wall */
#include glib.h
#include stdio.h
int
main(void) {
GTimeVal alarm_time, current_time;
char *iso_date = 2009-12-11T2:50:00;
g_time_val_from_iso8601(iso_date, alarm_time);
printf(%ld\n, alarm_time.tv_sec);
g_get_current_time(current_time);
return 0;
}

Please note that the two different times are separated by an
hour. This led me to suspect daylight savings. Sure enough, with
Asia/Calcutta and Etc/UTC, I got constant values.
I am sure my computer's timekeeping is OK. I could not reproduce this
in any other Debian machines I have access to. In addition, on a Lenny
chroot in the SAME machine, I could not reproduce it (everything was
in order). Could someone suggest as to why this is happening?
I use sid, and the glib version is 2.22.3-1.
