Re: What is possible with static ip?
yes, provided your isp isn't blocking the port you share on. some isps block port 80 which would stop you from running a regular web server. most block port 25 unless it's going thru their server.

Re: Straw poll: What browser do you use?

I have a 2.2GHz C2D box with an nvidia card at home, and a 3.0GHz C2D with a (lame) ATI card at work. I find that firefox (or xulrunner-stub) have memory leaks, and after a couple of days, it eats up a significant amount (10-30%) of memory. The work box has 3GB and the home box has 4GB. It also eats up a significant amount of CPU. This morning, after idling all weekend, iceweasel on my work system was chewing up between 70 and 100% of my cpus, and scrolling pages were hesitating for several seconds. So what do others use? Firefox 3.6.8 normally. On the work machine I use Google Chrome 'cuze it's faster but I don't really like it much. Chrome will start acting strangly if I have too many windows open that are full of tabs where Firefox doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I like to take advantage of the space in the status bar for extra buttons/functionality. Can't do that with Chrome. Chrome makes you put all the extension buttons in one place. Chrome's also not as configurable as Firefox. On memory leaks and stuff, they all seem to, especially if you use flash and it seems just about every website on the planet uses it somewhere. When it gets too bad I just kill it with a -9 and when I restart it will restore everything the way it was sans memory leaks.

Re: Recording A/V from embedded Flash player
On Sun, 5 Sep 2010, Celejar wrote: I'm looking for a general solution to record audio and video from Flash players embedded in webpages. I've searched the web, but not found any really general solution. Some Flash video players save a .flv file under /tmp, and that's great, since I can just copy it somewhere else (sometimes it's necessary to do this before the video finishes (pausing it if necessary), since it disappears on completion, but usually it remains there indefinitely). Obviously, anything that uses a mms: url is manageable, since I can then feed that url to mplayer or vlc and instruct them to capture / dump it. But what to do when neither of these is the case, and AFAICT the player is using some proprietary protocol to communicate with the server? I'm interested in audio and video, but primarily the former. Now, obviously the Flash code isn't providing its own HW drivers, so it must be talking to the ALSA and video subsystems, so shouldn't there be some way to instruct ALSA to dump the audio to a file? Any help, ideas, leads will be much appreciated When I need to just capture the audio from something I use audacity. Alternately you can look at the webpage source and see what the file name is of the flash and see if you can get it with wget. Or try a firefox extension that will download and save as an mp4.

Split the job into two separate tasks: 1) Get the pix off. 2) Install 5.0.4 1) install the drive as a second HD on a computer that boots from the first HD, and explore what is on the drive. Mount your friend's drive ro (read only). Depending on how many pix you find, choose an appropriate storage medium to copy pix to. Then 2) install 5.0.4, which will be much less nerve wracking if you don't have to worry about losing the pix. I'm just not sure about the linux part. The first thing I did was copied the entire windows drive to one on my desktop. The pix and stuff are safe. I just want the installation on her end to be as painless (for both of us) as possible. I just set up my daughter's machine the same way this one will be set up so I'm going to apply the suggestions I got earlier to my daughter's drive and move it to another machine (or three) and see how it goes.

Problems with debian kernel source 2.6.12-10 on HT cpu (SMP/SMT)
Hi folks, I really have no idea if this is the correct mailinglist for this, but I'll give it a try. I tried to compile a SMP/SMT kernel for a Intel P4 with HyperThreading support CPU from debian kernel sources ( I tried linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.12-10_all.deb <ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.12-10_all.deb> and linux-source-2.6.14_2.6.14-2_all.deb <ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-source-2.6.14_2.6.14-2_all.deb>), but after running make-kpkg and rebooting, I still see one cpu in /proc/cpuinfo I did the same with some Vanilla sources (2.6.12.6) and it just works great! (I'm seeing 2 cpu's in /proc/cpuinfo). Could there be a bug in the debian sources? Regards, Vince. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Problems with jigdo
Hello There has got to be a better way. I'm sure some doc, somewhere explains why the jigdo I downloaded doesn't work, but who can spend the time wading through all that. Many of us here at HP would really like to see Debian replace the commercial versions of Linux, but the download and installation interfaces need to work for everybody, not just the in-crowd. Ok, insult me now if that's what you want to do, but this is what I did, and it did not work. I download stuff all the time, so why does Debian have to be hard ? 1. downloaded, unziped, and read README.txt for i386 jigdo.lite. 2. followed instructions for dealing with a proxy: Making jigdo-lite use your proxy To make jigdo-lite use your proxy for its downloads, first double-click on "jigdo-lite.bat" to start the program. As soon as the input prompt has appeared, abort the program again and close the command window. You will find that jigdo-lite has created a file called "jigdo-lite-settings.txt" in the same directory as this README.txt file. Load this into an editor and find the line that starts with "wgetOpts". The following switches can be added to the line: -e ftp_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/ -e http_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/ --proxy-user=USER --proxy-passwd=PASSWORD ***This is way to terse. I think you mean replace //LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/ with something but you need to show the exact syntax - I took a guess and put in what is in my Iexplorer proxy page ** 3. tried starting jigdo-lite.bat both on the command line and by clicking its icon in Explorer. There was no jigdo-lite-settings.txt 4. tried to contact a jigdo URL anyway, using what I guess is a jigdo URL/file, and got the followin in jigdo-lite-settings.txt which looks more like some sort of log file: jigdo='http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/jigdo/i386/woody-i386- jigdo' debianMirror='' nonusMirror='' tmpDir='.' jigdoOpts='--cache jigdo-file-cache.db' wgetOpts='--passive-ftp --dot-style=mega --continue --timeout=30' scanMenu='' 5. So I added the proxy statemnts and the jigdo-lite-settings.txt file looks like: jigdo='http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r1/jigdo/i386/woody-i386- 1.ji gdo' debianMirror='' nonusMirror='' tmpDir='.' jigdoOpts='--cache jigdo-file-cache.db' wgetOpts='--passive-ftp --dot-style=mega --continue --timeout=30 -e ftp_proxy=ht tp:web-proxy:8088 -e http_proxy=http:web-proxy:8088 --proxy-user=vxtee proxy-pa sswd=' scanMenu='' And I got back: Jigsaw Download "lite" Copyright 2001-2003 by Richard Atterer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Loading settings from `jigdo-lite-settings.txt' - To resume a half-finished download, enter name of .jigdo file.

Next I tried to download the jigdo for Linux and got jigdo-bin-0.7.0.tar.tar file. I've never seen a tar.tar file before. Changed the last tar to gz but gzip said it wasn't a gzip file. Looked at the web page and it actually has a bz2 extension, but gzip doesn't like that either. 7. So much for jigdo.

This sounds like "thread synchronization is the programmer's problem", at least for the case of unprotected variables. This all sounds considerably more portable than C threading (which is dependent either on calling OS services directly, or using a third-party library that may not be available on all platforms, or may have licensing issues), but not necessarily all that much better. The crucial point, to me, is that for at least the most common kinds of thread communication and data sharing, it should not be necessary for the programmer to remember to do anything extra (like mark functions or variables with a special thread-safety keyword). Erlang meets this requirement in spades; I don't know of another language that does.

Compaq Presario 4500
I just got 2 old Compaq Presario's, one is model 4504 and the other a 4508. After the debian install hanging about 400 times, I finally got it installed (in parts I might add - Partitioned harddisk, froze, reboot, initialize paritions, install base, froze, ...). Now that it is installed, it boots up fine, but when I do anything, for instance try to load the modules 8139too, I get kernel panics, then after one of them, it's a chain reaction, and I get about 10 of them. It ends up stopping at (I can't see the whole output) Code: 89 46 04 89 30 8b 41 08 89 c2 2b 54 24 14 81 fa ff 00 00 00 <0> Kernel Panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! In interrupt handler - not syncing Than the box is frozen, nothing works. Has anyone successfully installed and used debian on these models from Compaq? I have searched around on google, and it appears that Compaq has A LOT of problems with Linux. Anyhow, I got the boxes for really cheap $70 for both, and was planning on using them for NAT'ing or something...

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I assume you are requesting suggestions for a linux based router? For firewalling, if you are running a 2.2 kernel, look into ipchains, if you are running 2.4 look into iptables. There is a lot of firewall generator programs out there - gaurddog, firestarter, ferm, etc... these can make setting up a firewall for the timid easier. For logging the username, you're going to have to use some sort of "sniffer" on the router box, dsniff, tcpdump, ngrep, etc... You could also setup a proxy that records the required information - I don't have any examples on hand... For reporting this information you could simply grep a log to find what you want, then mail it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], this is done easily with crontab.

A) Please send a followup message to debian-user (not debian-devel) containing: Version of ps from "ps --version" "cat /proc/version" The "Version:" and "Status:" lines from "dpkg -s procps" etc B) "man ps" "/System.map" read the description of the search for system.map. ls the various directories listed. Is there a System.map file there? maybe accidentally deleted? Maybe filesystem corruption in that directory? C) You may want to check the bugs for procps, etc, to see if someone has run into this before. Thanks and Good Luck!
diald timeouts
That would be a question for debian-user, although there's implications that debian-devel could develop a system wide policy for all "internet" packages to look at /etc/dialtimeout or something like that. One solution I used many years ago was to list my DNS server multiple times in /etc/resolv.conf That "multiplied" my timeouts until finally the DNS timeout was longer than my typical delay to connect. I don't know if that method still works on anything newer than Debian 1.2 or so... - Forwarded by Vince Mulhollon/Brookfield/Norlight on 03/20/2001 03:40 PM - Cormac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: debian-devel@lists.debian.org .org.uk>cc: (bcc: Vince Mulhollon/Brookfield/Norlight) Sent by:Fax to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: diald timeouts ac-art.org 03/20/2001 03:29 PM Please respond to cormac Hi, A quick question regarding diald. I've recently setup diald on my home PC which is fairly slow to dialup, to the point that most apps (nslookup, lynx etc) timeout before the connection is made. Lynx for example starts guessing a few seconds before the connection is fully established. nslookup gives up just before the connection is establishedd. Is there any way I can set a global timeout for any internet access program? -- Cormac -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: box does weird stuff
I've gotten errors like that in the past. I'd suspect a hard drive, IDE cable, or controller problem. The easiest thing you can do is open the machine up, disconnect the drives control and power cables and plug them back in. This never seems to help much for me, but maybe you'll be lucky to discover your cables are loose. Typically, when I experience these errors, the hard drive is not far from death, although once it was a controller problem (swapping the drive didn't help). If you have any spare parts, try swapping and seeing where the trouble goes. Good Luck! - Forwarded by Vince Mulhollon/Brookfield/Norlight on 02/26/2001 02:34 PM - Eskild WikkelingTo: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]debian-firewall@lists.debian.org l> cc: (bcc: Vince Mulhollon/Brookfield/Norlight) Fax to: 02/26/2001 Subject: box does weird stuff 02:04 PM hello I'm not to experienced with debian but I try to run a gateway/fileserver/firewall for my home network on a pentium 100. Sometimes this machine crashes (usually due to samba) and when I reboot I get like tons of errors like the following: Feb 26 16:53:34 cumulus kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x00 { } Feb 26 16:53:34 cumulus kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hda: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } can any one tell me if this means a harddisk is about to die on me or something else? thanks heaps, Eskild P.S.

Re: Smallest ext2 file system?
The question belongs in debian-user. Anyway, the answer is between 57856 and 58368 bytes is the minimum size on my "potato" system. I could probably determine a more exact answer, but I don't care. Just make it at least 114 blocks and you should be OK. I haven't verified if the 114 block filesystem WORKS, but at least mke2fs didn't error out. nmc:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=~/junk count=113 113+0 records in 113+0 records out nmc:~$ /sbin/mke2fs junk mke2fs 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 junk is not a block special device.

Offline mail reader for several lists
I think you need to ask debian-user about the packages named "uqwk" and "multimail" or something like that. Having never used either I can't help, but many many years ago I used a QWK reader to read usenet news. Anything else that is QWK compatible under development? I would almost be interested in a GTK based QWK reader... - Forwarded by Vince Mulhollon/Norlight on 12/05/2000 10:55 AM - Nils Rennebarth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: Debian Development list ttgart.de> cc: (bcc: Vince Mulhollon/Norlight) Fax to: 12/05/2000 10:31 Subject: Offline mail reader for several lists AM I use procmail to sort my incoming mail (a dozen or so mailinglists) to different folders. To read mail from home, I ssh to the computer at work and read mail with mutt. But as phone lines ar expensive here, instead of spending an hour of online mail reading, I would like to connect, download new mails, disconnect, read and delete most of them, then connect again and write back eventual changes to the folders. Is there a piece of software that allows me to do just that? It doesn't sound like a very exotic problem so someone else might have wanted a solution. Using imap does not count, it won't work offline, as it makes a connection to the server for every message to be read.

Network disapeared after upgrade.
Hello list, After the last upgrade my Potato box does not have any network device. Eth0 has disapeared. I've also lost my X11 configuration and when I try to use XF86Setup It is imposible to communicate with the mouse. Any idea where the problem coud be? Thanks in advance and best regards.
Netscape
When I try to run Netscape from a term window I get this error: netscape: locale `C' not supported. If the $XNLSPATH directory does not contain the proper config files, Netscape will crash the first time you try to paste into a text field. (This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this program was linked.) Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal place for these files is /usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/. If you can't create that directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH environment variable to point at the place where you installed the files. Bus error And then it exits. I have /no/ idea whatsoever what all of this means. I create the directory /usr/X386/lib/X11/nls but I don't know what config files it's talking about. TIA for any help. --Vince
xvidtune
When I try running xvidtune it tells me "Please install the program before using" Since xvidtune is part of the XF86Setup package I figured it was installed. XF86Setup works fine, but when it tries to run xvidtune, it also fails. Any ideas? --Vince
X won't work anymore
Hello all. I'm relatively new at linux so bear with me. I set up linux on my box about two or three weeks ago. Everything was going fine and dandy. I got everything going fine including X windows. However, yesterday, I was in X, and installing maelstrom and quake (a guy's gotta relax ya know...) and I rebooted my machine. After that it startx, xterm, and other apps had just dissappeared. I couldn't get X started no matter what I did. So, I just purged everything X-like from my system and reinstalled it. Everything /seems/ to be back (then again, what do I know), but now when I run 'startx' I get this error: failed to set default font path '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, .../fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,.../fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,.../fonts/Type1/, .../fonts/Speedo/,.../fonts/75dpi/,.../fonts/100dpi/' Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' _X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
