doc-linux-text Not in Wheezy?

2014-04-29 Thread Paul Lane
Searched archive and found nothing regarding any discussion of it
being removed. I did find it available for Squeeze. However, as I
stated it is not found in the package lists for Wheezy. Has it been
renamed, removed, or otherwise squashed?

 I've been on Gnome for years. (vdpau, GT430, 1080p - the typical nvidia setup)

 Looking at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/bt-hybrid/, 
 I gotta ask:


 These days, kde or gnome - which one?

 iirc, kde does retina display (high dpi), and gnome yet may not etc.


 thanks in advance!

IMHO, neither. I went with LXDE. I wanted functional and fast. As for
trying both, I did and ended up taking a day with deborphan, awk,
grep, and dpkg just to remove all the unnecessary stuff left over
afterwards.

Try defining the directories as in the top VirtualHost stanza. I
believe just defining the DocumentRoot is not enough. Apache needs to
know what it can due there. Also, make sure that the www-data user has
reading permission of the directory in /home/domain2/domain2/htdocs/.
Or at least the directory is system readable.

 No ServerAlias www.domain1.com ??

As Karl suggests it may be a problem with your DNS pointing. Try
looking at the return of :
$nslookup www.domain1.com
and then:
$nslookup www.domain2.com
Make sure that they return the same ip for the host.

Re: Feedback needed: How to disable services at startup... and keep them so.

 Hello,

 A month ago, I disabled Network Manager service in my Squeeze system so
 it doesn't run on start up. I wanted to keep NM installed (just in case)
 but preferred to use the old ifup network setup method.

 So I issued update-rc.d network-manager remove and also disabled gnome
 NM applet from being started. So far so good, no more NM running at
 booting.
 I missed something -there is a better way to handle
 this or should I write a report?

 Greetings,

 Camaleón
AFAIK, the method to disable a boot time service is to change the name
of its symlink in the appropriate runlevel (normally 2, for debian)
folder. I'm not sure what the name of the NM script is as I did this
many moons ago. But, if you look in /etc/rc2.d/, you will find a
README that explains it all. Reprinted here for clarity:

The scripts in this directory are executed each time the system enters
this runlevel.

The scripts are all symbolic links whose targets are located in
/etc/init.d/ .

To disable a service in this runlevel, rename its script in this directory
so that the new name begins with a 'K' and a two-digit number, where the
number is the difference between the two-digit number following the 'S'
in its current name, and 100.  To re-enable the service, rename the script
back to its original name beginning with 'S'.

For a more information see /etc/init.d/README.

 the fix requires me to start using unstable, and I'm not comfortable

 Anything I missed?

Did you reboot? If I remember correctly I had to reboot. Actually come to 
think of it, when I did install the security update, the problem didn't
start until I rebooted the next morning. I thouhgt dpkg would stop and 
restart services when upgrading?

libxml2 security update

2008-08-23 Thread PauL Lane

Hello to all,
Updated the libxml2 package from security updates yesterday. Booted 
up this morning and Gnome is foobarred. For those you have not updated
from this security warning, DON'T. Unless you are comfortable working 
from the commandline. Thanks for the heads up on that also, I thought
that the security update would have fixed the aforementioned problem
that the gentleman had previously mentioned. But, I stand corrected.
Used aptitude to purge the package and it naturely thought I was insane
and naturely downgraded to the previous version, little did it know
that is what I wanted it to do. Back in business now.

Hello again Larry, Good! If you can connect to your modems connection 
summary page, then your end is working. Now you need to inform Verizon
that their end is not. Make sure you didn't place one of those filters
on the phone line going to your dsl modem. Also add the line about 
the default gateway posted earlier to your routing table. 
Good Luck!

   DSL2 modem without the Router?
 
  Pppoeconfig will work if the modem is configured for bridge mode (like
  mine) but not if it is configured as a router (like yours).  I suggest
  that you follow Mike Bird's advice below.  You are making it more complex
  than it is.
 
 Going by the replies I've received, if I use DHCP I will have to use
 IE to set the username and password in the modem (the IE I have
 running under Wine can't access the modem).  I think this is probably
 true, because I don't see a way to enter the username and password in
 dhclient.conf.  Should the username be entered in the modem as just
 'user' or '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'? 
 
 I'll try to setup DHCP without a password and see if it works, but it
 will take awhile to figure this out.
 
 I do know someone that uses Windows and they live close enough that I
 might be able to use their computer to set the modem.  The techs at
 Verizon say I could change the modem from router mode to bridge mode
 using IE, but then I would have to use a router with the modem, which
 I don't have don't want to do.  So is it possible to use the modem in
 bridge mode with pppoe and not use a router?  If so, it seems like it
 might be better this way because then I will probably be able to see
 the transfer rate on my toolbar.  But then it might be faster using
 DHCP.  Does using the modem in router mode protect the computer better
 than using it in bridge mode?
 
 Anyway this is still pretty confusing to me, so I hope I'll be able
 to figure it out in the next couple of weeks.
 
 Thanks for the help so far,
 
Larry

Hello Larry, I am running debian etch with verizon dsl. I also have the 
Westell 6100 dsl modem. I believe that the suggestions you are getting in 
regards to dumping everything having to do with pppoe are correct. 
Have you gone into the connections settings of your browser and configured 
it for direct connection to the internet? Can you open any browser and type 
in the address bar 192.168.1.1 and click go. This should bring you to the 
connection summary page of the Westell modem. If you can not connect to this 
page, could you provide, the output of `ifconfig`, `cat /etc/resolv.conf`, 
`route`.
