[gentoo-user] adsl-usb-modem question
Hi, I am installing an adsl-usb-modem (conexant chipset). I have some questions about: (1) what is the interface nas0 and does it have anithing to do with gentoo or with the modem? (2) item (1) with sit0 (3) An installation script ask me to enter the ethernet inerface connected to the adsl modem, but the modem is usb, so, which interface is supposed to be? (here i put nas0 but then the error nas0: unknown interface: No such device is output) (4) If i fail to install the modem, i wanted to know if anybody would like to help me (through telnet) to install it (hopefully, the best option to me). There is very little (and poor) doc about the installation of this modem on linux, so almost everything is very obscure to me. Thanks for answers and/or suggestions (even though they are little ones). Bye! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Parden the pun there. LOL This is what it says though which is strange. It's really the last two lines that matter but I am putting the whole thing here just in case. Sorry so long. snip Microsoft Messenger Service, NetrSendMessage Operation: NetrSendMessage (0) Server Max Count: 10 Offset: 0 Actual Count: 10 Server: Microsoft Client Max Count: 35 Offset: 0 Actual Count: 35 Client: inform you about a virus detection Message Max Count: 497 Offset: 0 Actual Count: 497 Message [truncated]: Windows has detected a virus on your system. In order to remove it please follow this steps:\n\n1. Start Microsoft Internet Explorer or your default web browser.\n2. Type into the navigation bar: http://www.cleanmyreg. What is this? Is this some spam and it pops up a window if I were using windoze? I went to the site and it looks like they want to sell something, which I ain't buying by the way. ;-) Yes-- not that I know anything about this, but it looks like a trick popup. The site does not seem to be checking your browser ID (which would say Linux), but instead assumes that 1) you are a Windows user (after all, isn't everybody?) 2) you use IE (after all, doesn't everybody?) 3) you do not have a competent admin on your system -- the message uses Microsoft Messenger Service, which is turned on by default under Windows, and enables these kind of popup messages across LAN and WAN, sort of like a mini MSN-- which I believe it connects to as well-- and is not only quite useless except to people like this, but also quite insecure because it lets unknown people like this send you messages without your active consent. Any Windows user I know with even a grain of competence turns it off first thing after installation. But of course Joe and Jane Average User don't know to do this because their OS is supposed to competently administer their system for them. Oh, well keeps my bf in barter trade goods for cleaning the PCs of Joe and Jane out again every 3 months or so. How can I tell them to stop this? 1) Don't go to the site. 2) If you must go to the site, don't do so with IE (if you're using Windows for whatever reason) 3) If you must go to the site using IE, for heaven's sake, don't click that link (though that may not protect you; some sites will also transfer their payload when you try to close the popup even if you don't click the link) 4) If you must go to the site using Windows, then have a good a) firewall, 2) ad-blocker, 3) spyware blocker/cleaner, and 4) antivirus scanner present on the system. You could also complain to 1) the site 2) the hosting admin 3) the authorities, but it's clearly a commercial deal for somebody -- either the host or the admin has coded/allowed this pass-through to be present on their site, and /somebody/ has either been paid to do so or expects to get paid for doing so in terms of click-through revenues or advertising view revenues or, more unpleasantly, virus or trojan proliferation, and imo, regular users are unlikely to stop the flow of compensation except by not participating. But you don't have Windows or the Microsoft Messenger Service on a Gentoo box; this foolishness is not actively dangerous to you; especially since you don't have a Registry either, so there's no reason for you to follow the link to any supposed Registry-cleaning program. GKrellm is just reporting that somebody tried to send you a message through this non-existent service. Oh, only my main rig does this. My three servers which have no GUI stuff or browsers installed do not get this, that I can see anyway. Another thing a bit off topic. I noticed earlier that there was a post in some foreign language, looked like Japaneese or Chinese and looked like spam to me. Later I got one in my personal email. Can someone get my email address from this list? I have got a few emails from people, which is OK as long as it is not spam. Just curious. I like the list but I didn't know my private email would become public, if this is true. I never understand about how people think their email address is private, when it's meant to allow communication between the public network (the Internet) and you. You can take your number out of the phone book too, which means that _most_ random people will be unlikely to call you, but anyone can simply punch a series of numbers--even accidentally-- and call you, because you are connected to the public telephone network by your phone number. In the early days of telemarkting, that used to happen a lot; even now, there are computer-generated phone calls that call and when you pick up the phone, you get a computer talking to you (often telling you to hold on for a live person who's going to try to sell you something).

You see that little f there next to the ebuild? It has a fetch restriction. If you look a little ways up it will give you the URL to go to to accept the license and download it. After you download the java thing, move it to /usr/portage/distfiles/ then emerge it. I do this all the time and it is a PITA.

The Messenger Service is different from Windows Messenger - it's all a bit of a confusing hodgepodge of names. XP comes supplied with an MSN Messenger program which isn't called MSN Messenger but instead Windows Messenger, I think; apart from the name it's identical to old versions of MSN messenger in that you add buddies by email address. The Messenger Service is something else completely - you're right that it allows people to send you little pop-up windows without your consent, but it's kinda a bigger story than that. Unlike buddy messengers, there's no reply box or any buttons other than OK and to send one of these messages you have to use the Windows File Printer Sharing command line `net /send computer name text of your message`. Back in the days of Windows 3.1 or 95 this undoubtedly seemed like a great idea, as no-one using Windows networks had heard of the Internet, this was essentially a free service with Windows File Printer Sharing and the only abuse it was really open to was employees kidding about with each other. I suspect the reason Messenger Service is enabled by default because third-party developers use it. I've seen it used by the likes of cheap database apps to say Blimey! You're out of stock! Order some more. For those who think that Microsoft writes bad software, you really should see some of the sewage written by small independent developers for the Windows platform; some meeting this description are undoubtedly doing a great job, but I've seen some horrors from those aiming at small business niche markets. These guys seem to have no incentive to consider quality or security - basically anyone with a programmer a salesman can set up in these markets and as long as the product meets a need and appears to work then it goes out the door. I'd guess that Messenger Service could safely be disabled out the box these days, but I wouldn't be surprised that there were many applications that would have suffered from that at the time XP was released.

The majority of *crap* hitting my firewall (in Oz) comes from China. Use geoip iptables to block China for a more peaceful life. Its not as though there's any valuable sites there unless you have relatives or a reason to access something there! Taiwan and Hong Kong have also been suggested as sources, but so far they are not even close to the biggie. As a side effect, as well as messenger spam, it blocks large numbers of other malicious scans/probes/*crap* - enough do this and it might convince the relevant authorities to clean up their own backyard ...

[gentoo-user] openmotif behavior
Hello! :-) I have to say that I managed to switch completely to Linux! I'm very happy with that, although I'm still using a couple of closed-source programs (I cannot replace them at these moments) The problem I'm having with them (both) is that they use openmotif (I believe, looking inside their /lib files) and they have some collisions in its behavior against enlightenment. One of them is, for example, Maya7.0, which uses the left button+ALT as combination for camera rotation. The point is that the same input combination is used by englithenment for Window resizing. Similarly happens with ALT+MIDDLE button. I'm using the enlightenment 16 (the normally distributed in gentoo).

I need to use ufraw, because it can read some *.raw files that dcraw can't read. I had to unmask ufraw because it's ~x86. ufraw also needs a ~x86 version of libexif.

[gentoo-user] Upgrade was a downgrade and things went south from there.
Hi everybody, I did my emerge sync and emerge -uv world a bit ago. This was not a good idea. It downgraded dbus, hal and gnome-vfs. I saw the downgrade was going on and figured there must be a problem so I let it downgrade. Well after that was done I was going to restart the services so that the upgrade, which was a downgrade, would take effect. Well, now ivman won't restart.
