Working bootable USB boot stick, can bootable ISO be created from it?
As the title says; can a bootable ISO be created easily somehow off a working bootable USB stick that is formatted FAT? I tried dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/myboot.iso but probably that won't ever work since they're a different media structure.

Got recursion not available from...
I'm using a Lenny system to host Postfix and Windows 2003 for name resolution. More frequently than I probably should, I will see NOQUEUE in /var/log/mail.log related to DNS lookups. I've not yet narrowed it down to forward lookups, reverse lookups or both. I originally suspected the Windows box but I can reproduce these failures on other systems from the nslookup command line tool and without using Windows 2003 for name resolution. Also on systems without Postfix. So I started Googling and find hits like this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=827449 My command line errors look the same as reported at that URL. nslookup X.X.X.X ;; Got recursion not available from x.x.x.x, trying next server ;; Got recursion not available from x.x.x.x, trying next server Server: x.x.x.x Address:x.x.x.x#53 Non-authoritative answer: *** Cant find X.X.X.X: No answer Usually for me, querying a single IP will fail the first time, then subsequent lookups against the same data will succeed. The only way I've been able to reproduce it in succession was if an IP address lookup fails (say 12.34.56.78) I can query 12.34.56.79, .80, .81 to see the recursion not available message. At this point I'm not sure if it's a problem with NSLOOKUP, or whatever DNS library Lenny is using, or my environment specifically so Has anyone run across this problem and defeated it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There is no better tool. There is no tool, period. You are attempting to query a virtual device for an MII interface. Again, the MII interface is a piece of SILICON HARDWARE on a NIC. You simply cannot query a virtual NIC for hardware parameters. Now, what I would recommend is that you file a feature request against mii-tool and ethtool asking that for any query to a bonded virtual NIC that the physical parameters of each physical NIC be output, along with the bonding status. However, given how long bonding has been available, if the devs were going to do this they'd probably have done it by now. Maybe someone else wrote a tool with said functionality that superseded mii-tool and ethtool. If so I am unaware of it.

I appreciate the enlightenment and education you have provided that this tool is not for virtual interfaces. I did not realize that distinction based on the many blogs and other postings peppered across the Internet that include mii-tool as part of setting and troubleshooting interface functions, including bridges and aggregates. Having said that, my opinion is that a software tool, any software tool, would properly renounce incorrect usage at run-time rather than produce misleading output. I rely on how a tool responds, whether it be to my ignorance or proficiency, in order to make as intelligent decisions I am capable of, for what to do next. If that makes me ignorant, well then there's nothing further I can say since this is my opinion; for I am a dumb end-user and developers smarter than me anticipate end-user stupidity and code for these discrepancies. Going forward, I like your suggestion to contact the developers and/or submit feature requests to resolve the situation. But I think the reality is, as you pointed out, doing so is not likely to result in the software changing. It appears to me that the tool has been static for quite some time. I've also read at least one post stating ethtool has replaced mii-tool but I don't know if that claim has validity.

Bonded NIC's did not come up at boot?
I have a lenny system. My goal is to have two interfaces, 1 NIC active and 1 NIC in standby on a second switch, so this host will have switch port fault tolerance.

Eventually I installed emelfm and its fonts appeared small and tight. After a few days I did an apt-get dist-upgrade and the fonts looked spotty in emelfm, iceweasel, and just wmaker in general. I installed xfce4 tonight and the fonts and GUI became really smooth. But emelfm and iceweasel and the xfce4 menu still has largish looking fonts, although they are smooth. Aside from configuring each app to use specific fonts, what's controlling this 'under the hood' font activity so to speak? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

New sound card on amd64
I'm using Debian unstable amd64 with an Intel DP55WB motherboard with on-board audio. I bought a replacement HT Omega Claro+ sound card with a CMI8788 chipset because I'm after optical output to hook to a surround receiver. I powered off my Debian system, inserted the new card, powered on and went straight in the motherboard BIOS and disabled the on-board Intel sound card. Then I booted to Debian. I've un-muted everything in alsamixer and set the volumes to 84. The device is seen and is set to C-Media CMI8788 in alsamixer. I get audio out of the 1/8th inch jack ports but I cannot get audio out of the optical port. I did an apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade (no errors). I can successfully speaker-test -Dplug:spdif -c2 with no errors, though I'm not sure if that's completely accurate syntax to test the optical out. Is there some other bit needed to make the optical port come alive?

Ideally it will not need to be set in a browsers proxy setting to be effective. You need to describe your network and the desired control to get some relevant answers. Without knowing these details, the generic answer is to use a firewall on your internet gateway. The service provider (ATT) provided a four port 2-Wire router that is both wireless and wired. It has very few options for firewalling and is required to connect to their service. I have uplinked an two HP 1800-8G switches to the ISP's device and plugged in my devices there. The LAN has a macintosh client, a couple Windows 7 clients and a few Debian clients and a network printer. I'd like the flexibility to selectively stop outbound protocols up to and including Instant Messenger file transfers but do so without having to configure something specific on the client devices.

If your router does not have the features you desire, than you probably need to replace it. It may be replaced with a Debian machine working as a router.

The machine needs to have two LAN interface to work as a router, one for WAN (internet) and the other for LAN. The other option is to buy a new router that has the desired features.

Debian Sid has very recent versions of the radeon driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon, v. 6.13.0-1) which includes all of the X support made available so far upstream; but you will really want a very new kernel if you want to take advantage of kernel mode setting. The Debian Kernel Team has backported a lot of DRM support from 2.6.33 into recent 2.6.32 kernels, and also has made available experimental 2.6.33 kernels.

You need an old (pre-1.7) X server to use 'fglrx', and you have to make sure to install kernel headers matching the same version of the kernel you are using, for 'fglrx'. It's possible that ATI will release a new 'fglrx' this month (or next) which is compatible with X server 1.7.X. (I haven't been using 'fglrx', though; I'm only interested in testing the open drivers, and helping to get them to work. If you just want to use the card in a normal way, you should probably try to get 'fglrx' to work until more features are provided by the radeon driver later this year.)

Configure Lenny client respond to snmp queries
Hello list, I tried to get a lenny based box to respond to snmp queries a few months ago but failed. This time around I am using a VirtualBox with netinst-x86 lenny installed as my client. The system that I will have poll lenny is using Cacti (but does not have too). Upon issuing aptitude search snmp I get 43 results back. After Internet searching for a bit I'm finding what appears to be somewhat dated documentation for setting up snmp. My questions; does anyone have any pointers to current doc they've used that covers what I'm trying to do? And which snmp package would you recommend for someone just getting started with snmp? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

apache2 directory protection

Depends overkill, how do you weed out the packages
I have a fresh install of Debian Lenny 503 amd64 via a netinst CDROM. I've
only installed a couple of packages like openbox because I want to run as
lean a desktop I can to try out virtualbox-3.0.
I figured openbox would be enough to handle the GUI needed for
virtualbox-3.0 but after adding the official repository to my sources list
I get a bunch of KDE and audio hits when trying to install VirtualBox.
This doesn't seem right so I am looking for pointers on how to trim down
this list of what I perceive as excessive bloat. Included is the list of
stuff Lenny wants me to install. I've marked some of the things I think I
know what they are which are features I for sure don't want but at the same
time I don't want a busted unusable system by forcibly not installing them.
Any advice or wisdom from those who have gone before me to do battle
against dependencies would be greatly appreciated!

gtk2 environment, what controls it?
I'm currently using openbox and I've been using an app called PCMan File Manager which was working well up until a recent aptitude dist-upgrade. Before the upgrade I was able to associate file types, jpg, , etc., with default applications like qiv and then double click on a JPG to view the file. Same with pdf, mpg, etc. Now when I double-click I get the X wrist watch for a moment and then nothing. Top shows Xorg move up the list breifly but no 'launch' of the viewer. I tried to re-associate some extensions but get the same no launch results. I tried to dig through ~/.config and find pcmanfm's config then blow it away but this didn't not resolve the issue when that config was recreated on next launch. I tried to aptitude purge pcmanfm then reinstalled pcmanfm which also did not resolve the no launch. I'm thinking there is a gtk configurator tool or something gtk-ish somewhere that I need to look at closer but have no idea what it's called. I've poked around the gtk project pages and have not been able to understand how their stuff would tie in to GUI apps to point me in a forward direction. Am I possibly on the right track? Is there a gtk profile or settings somewhere that can be reset or weeded through? I'm pretty stuck at the moment so thanks in advance for any replies! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
