It is if IPCOP puts a load on the CPU or starts swapping memory.

PII fast enough for firewall

[John Schmidt]

Hi,

I have a 15K Mbs connection (up/down) to my house (fiber to the home).

I have a Buffalo router that connects to my WAN and then one of the LAN ports 
on this router connects to my IPCOP firewall that is running on a PII -- 400 
MHz box with 64 MB of RAM.

When I do a speed test from my box behind my IPCOP firewall, I get about 10K 
Mbs up/down.  

If I move the connection to one of the Buffalo router LAN connections, I get 
the advertised 15K Mbs up/down speed.

So routing traffic thru the IPCOP firewall slows things down quite a bit.  Is 
this to be expected?  I was thinking of changing the firewall to a debian box 
running shorewall, and was wondering if I could tweak the firewall/router to 
not slow things down appreciably like the ipcop box is doing.

Thanks,

John Schmidt

Yup.  You can of course build an artificial worst-case test that will
cause serious performance penalties.  But that is irrelevant to

Hi, thanks for responding.
I didn't try anything for this option before your answer, but after
your suggestion I was able to change xclock's font to my liking. Thank
you again.
To find the names of the possible fonts and the way they look, I had
to open KWord and go into its font properties dialog. Is there an
analog to xfontsel in the world of true type fonts?

Tomcat5.5 postgresql, security oh my

[Dancing Fingers]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get Tomcat5.5 working with Poestgresql.  I know I got
everything configured right because if I turn Tomcat security off, in /
etc/default/tomcat, everything works fine.  My application directory
is at /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/myapp.  I want security on so
this is my /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/02debian.policy file:

// These permissions apply to all JARs from Debian packages
grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/java/-" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

//Driver location
grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib/-" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};


grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/yougarage/-" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/ant/lib/-" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

It doesn't work so could someone tell me where I'm going as stray?

Thanks.

synaptics touchpad driver problems

[Steven DuBois]

I had the synaptics xorg module working fine, but when i rebooted, it 
didn't work. I got some help in #debian and my xorg.conf was fine, but i 
plugged in a USB mouse and i guess that screwed everything up. I ran ls 
-l /dev/input/by-id; and it said

../event2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-12-02 17:38 
usb-Apple_Computer_Apple_Internal_Keyboard_._Trackpad-mouse -> ../mouse1



I changed the device to 
"/dev/usb/by-id/usb-Apple_Computer_Apple_Internal_Keyboard_._Trackpad-event-mouse", 
but that didnt work either.


I would like to be able to use my USB mouse along with synaptics if that 
is possible, if not i can settle for just synaptics.

/dev/raw1394 in 2.6.22 kernel and dvgrab

[H.S.]

Hello,

I have used raw1394 module with kino and dvgrab to grab video from my
camcorder in to my Debian Testing to make DVDs of home videos.

However, I recall reading someplace that raw1394 module is no longer
included in 2.6.22 and up kernels. Consequently, one cannot use dvgrab
in these kernels. For that reason, I am still using 2.6.21 in my machine
running Debian Testing. Anybody know what is the status now? Or any
other method with which to use dvgrab (and/or kino) with these kernels
in Debian?

Is anybody using 2.6.22 and still able to use dvgrab to grab video from
a video device?

thanks,
->HS

Dual EMC Installation

[Peter Skerda]

*Dual EMC Installation*

Dear Folks,

Presently have a CNC Sherline Mill that I've been trying to set up.
Would like to ask group if anybody has installed both Debian & Ubuntu
EMC to PC?? I can install Debian with CD but not sure how to prepare
the HD partition so I will be able to install Ubuntu on the same HD
and have option of which to open??

The Debian EMC installs nicely as does the Ubuntu EMC using CDs.
However I seem to be missing something as one will eliminate the
other when installed individually, and vise versa. What is left is the
EMC version that you last installed.

Probably has something, I suspect, with preparing the HD partitions when 
asked by the EMC installer. This part, no pun intended, is a bit fuzzy 
to me. Can anybody help? Would like to have both EMC's present on the HD 
to compliment each other and to be able to choose which one to run.


Would certainly appreciate if somebody could direct me in what
procedure to take or just tell me where to go?

Your assistance concerning this matter would be very much appreciated.

apt-get install nvi
http://packages.debian.org/etch/nvi
Bug-compatible.  You can't backspace past a newline in insert mode.
One level of undo.  Bletch.

Sometimes it's less work.   c to
replace from here to there when neither end is on object boundaries.
Shifted, it's just another cursor motion command, works with all the
operators.  No number multipliers, though, and "dot" (repeat last
visual edit) is seldom useful.
Unshifted, it's traditional drag- or block-and-paste word processor
behavior.  Having learned vi before word processors, I don't
use it that way much.  But visual selection can be handy.
Vim really is Improved.


>And, /etc/alternatives/vi on this Lenny
> install is a symlink to /usr/bin/vim.basic.

Debian's alternatives thing for vi is complicated.  Much more
than a symlink.  There is a set of symlinks to take care of
the various executables (view, ex, rvi...) and manpages.  Most of
them are "slaves" to a "master" so they can be changed as a "link group".
And there is a database /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives which knows which
ones you have installed so it can restore the previous one if you
remove the current one, and which link groups are in "automatic mode."

Unfortunately, equivs-build doesn't seem to know anything
about it.

But then I would pull in a bunch of stuff I don't want on
a remote server.  Big chunks of GNOME.  X11 Session Management.

Vim-full seems mostly to be about gvim(1), which I don't use.
I like running vim(1) via ssh(1) in an xterm(1).
Gvim via ssh's X forwarding through a 25 ms link is no substitute.

In a way, it is.  The "rather standard set of features" is
missing a critical one.
But, to be honest, it's not why I made my own vim 7 for that server.
Vim 7.0 in Etch testing was seriously broken.  Segfaults everywhere.
It's fixed, now.

Mine had been getting intermintent for a while.  Last night it pretty
much quit and I wound up pulling about three years of accumulated lint
out of it.  It's a Logitech and the wheel lifted out easily so I could
clean out the space between the wheel and sensors.

Still no clue?  That's a bit thick, don't you think?  Sorry.

aptitude search psion.  google psion linux.  google "psion linux
site:lists.debian.org".

google.groups.com psion linux debian

:%s/google/yahoo/g

That should keep you busy.

Hi Steef,

Well, run the script manually one line at a time.  First, read
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf to determine under what user you should run
things (I've never used mysql).  Also, read the mysqladmin man page.

I used to do the same thing back in the 80's with whatever the terminal
program that came with my 9600 baud modem was.  One of us would ATDT the
number, the other would ATA and we'd chat.  Sending files was as simple
as one of us starting a Zmodem transfer and the other having set up
auto-Zmodem to receive it.  That was in the dos-box of OS/2 on my end,
don't know what the other end was running.

Hi Steef,
I prefer wajig to other package tools because:
1. It has a cli.
2. You can enter a wajig environment (with the prompt wajig> ) without
having to repeat wajig infront of every command.
3. on doing wajig>update it tells you how many upgrades you may have (with
aptitude you get no info after updating).
4. wajig's search is more exhaustive than aptitude's (sometimes this is not
a benefit)
Cheers,
Jonathan

wajig is more than just an apt-get replacement.  (In fact, wajig
*uses* apt-get.)  It's more of a kitchen sink.  (Is that an
Americanism.)

Attached is a list of all the things you can do with wajig.

If USB, you can try unplugging/replugging the mouse.

You might try unloading/reloading any mouse/USB-related modules.

USB, I think. It sits plugged in behind the KVM switch. But will try

I've tried exiting out of X, stopping GDM/KDM, but that does not work.

results: debian-user's favourite FLOSS

[Tshepang Lekhonkhobe]

Hi debian-user,

Here is a summary of the mini-poll that I conducted recently on Debian-user:

Firefox/Iceweasel and GIMP reign supreme for the third year running
but are now joined by aptitude, each having 21 votes. I was surprised
by Quod Libet receiving one vote but more surprising was F-Spot which
also got just one and Tomboy receiving only 2 votes. The most
surprising category is "misc utilities" because none of the 2005 and
2006 winners, sudo and grep received enough votes (three) to appear
here. Nobody but me mentioned Tracker, while Beagle also got just a
single vote. There was no mention of Banshee and only two votes for
Tomboy. The most favourite non-free piece remains Adobe Acrobat, and
one wonders when Evince and other free equivalents will catch up.

 Is the vfat module loaded? You might want to check the filesystem
 type with "file -s /dev/sdb1". Also are you able to access the files

 then try formatting it. "mkdosfs /dev/sdb1" will create a fat16

The proper thing to do is Reply-to-List. I read the list and don't
need a copy sent to me directly. You are using Thunderbird -- there is
a plugin/extension for Reply-to-List. Check the archives here for

Yes, eliminating the scp (and any other variables) would be a good

Amarok problem with crossfade

[Kumar Ravichandran]

Hi, 
I am running Etch on my Macbook and of late, am having a problem
wherein Amarok throws up a 'Xine could not initialize any audio
drivers' message after playing 1 track. Disabling crossfade seems to
solve it, for some reason. I tried deleting the xine-config file,
.xine folder etc, to no avail. No problems with other players, of
course.

Any ideas?

marking text while reading ebooks

[Kamaraju S Kusumanchi]

This question seems very rudimentary. But since I could not find answers
anywhere else, I thought I would just ask the experts here.

While reading a hard copy of a book, people usually highlight important
points with a sharpie, so that the important concepts can be glanced
through at a later point of time. Is there any analogous facility while
reading ebooks/articles on a computer? Say for example, I have a pdf or a
long html file with me. Is there any program which can highlight parts of
text and save it in the new state?

thanks
raju

My findings are that when I start RealPlayer, its volume control acts
as a master volume control for everything.
It has always been like this, on several distros and all versions of
Debian.  Don't know the reason why.

Amarok says xine claim it can't play mp3 after recent upgrade

[Yang, Sheng]

Hi all

Recently, I found amarok fail to play mp3 again after I had done the annual
upgrade. I am using testing version, and amarok said that xine1 claims it
can't play mp3. I've encounter this before, and fix it by install
libxine1-ffmpeg package. But this time I have no idea.

I've installed almost every packages which begin with libxine1, and
libmodplug0c2, and everything I can think of, but still fail.

Anyone can help me? Thanks!

Alternatively do it from .emacs:

(set-background-color "black")
(set-foreground-color "oldlace")

Then it is also a good idea to have

I know the conversation has gone way beyond this at this point (really,
brilliant stuff), but I usually just "cheat" and use konqueror.  I use it
for other tasks too (remote connections, etc.), so I don't worry about the
memory usage.  I know this is a n00b answer, but thought I would throw it
out there since the original question didn't specify CLI only.

Dos Navigator (a modern clone of nc, with both freeware and really free
editions) works reasonably well under dosemu. It has more functions than
the original nc and some functions that are not present in mc; on the
other hand, mc has some unix-specific functions which are clearly
missing from Dos Navigator.

Is the vfat module loaded? You might want to check the filesystem type 
with "file -s /dev/sdb1". Also are you able to access the files on any 
other system? If the data on the usb drive is not important, then try 
formatting it. "mkdosfs /dev/sdb1" will create a fat16 filesystem while 
mke2fs will create an ext2 partition.

You may try -t auto, or, even better, check it with disktype! USB

emacs22 black text on white bg from menu but white text on black bg from console

[Micha Feigin]

I have a strange setup issue.

I removed my emacs settings to redo them so now there are no theme commands
(clean .emacs). Now, when I open emacs from the menus or file manager (thunar)
it comes up in a dark text on light background theme (not very readable with
the match of fonts and colors), and when I open it from rxvt (or any other
console) it comes up in light text on dark background (much better for my
taste).

What is the difference, and how do I make one of them my default instead of
getting different behaviour?

Thanks

I think hal also does that. It's working on my xfce with thunar file manager,
no gnome. You probably need a file/desktop manager that can get hal
notifications though (it's either that or dbus, if you know which package does
this you can probably look into it's dependencies)

Re: Mounting a USB Mass Storage Device

[Samuel Bächler]

Thanks for your many inputs so far!


 Are you sure /dev/sda1 is your usb stick and not your primary hard
 disk?  Do a tail -f /var/log/syslog and then plugin your memory
 stick. That will give you some info as to what the actual device is.


Your are right, Raj, sda* is my harddisk. Shame on me...


 Is kernel module usb_storage loaded (or built into the kernel)? What
 version of Debian are you running? The real console, or a GUI? What
 happens to syslog when you insert the memory stick?


Thanks, Ron, I did not 'modprobe usb_storage'. I am using etch and work
on the console.

Hitherto I learned a lot. But it still does not work. On the 'Konsole 
Terminal

Programm' of KDE I did the folling things:

# tail -f /var/log/syslog
