Slow spamassassin on boot

2010-03-16 Thread josé Santos
Hi.

Lately spamassassin is taking 10 seconds or so to start on boot, there is 
also lots of hd activity. Is there any known cause for this or maybe a bug? 
Thanks

I have this kind of behaviour since 2.6.30-2, so maybe its not kernel 
related. My system has nvidia drivers installed the Debian way, using nv or 
nvidia makes no difference, one day by Chance I tried tty8 where X was,
witch is odd.

 Well, in numerous exchanges over the course of years, the case was made to
 me and others that sudo can leave apps open to exploitation if not locked
 down carefully.
 
 To the extent that NOPASSWD is set and/or that password durations allow
 continued commands and/or that users are listed more liberally than they
 should be, the system is potentially open to attackers.  If someone gains
 your account they can use any app against your root system that sudo will
 allow.
 
 The argument was that su is the Debian replacement to sudo specifically for
 reason, as far as general use goes.  And that sudo is for Ubuntu users :),
 or special use in Debian.
 
 NOPASSWD is set for myself in sudo. But the only apps therein are shutdown,
 if/iwconfig  iwlist, cpufreq-set and iptraf.
 
 Anyway, that was part of my upbringing in the Debian universe. And I have
 followed it.  However, I'm not inclined to pretend at authority.  I do this
 to keep from going insane at my real business which has nothing to do with
 cyberspace.  :)

I'm not a big fan of sudo, but if this can easy my life when working on my 
laptop, than its definitely worth to learn. Freeman, would you be so king to 
email me a copy of your suduoers file, so I can use it as an example?
I thought that this had to do with gnome policykit.

gnome CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor nagging for password

2010-02-03 Thread josé Santos
Hi!

Is there a way for stopping Gnomes's CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor from 
constantly nagging for the root password when I want to change my cpu's 
frequency? Google wasn't much help, nor the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 
2.28.0 help information on the application.

Thank you.

 The first thing to check is if your hostname is included in the local

 dc_other_hostnames should be a comma-separated list of all possible
 hostnames for local mail, e.g.
 
   dc_other_hostnames='localhost,debianbox'
 
 if your hostname in /etc/hostname is debianbox. You might have to add
 more hostnames to this list; check your exim4 log for the exact
 addresses of the failed local mail deliveries.
 
 The easiest way to change the exim4 setting is to run
 
   dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
 
 The relevant configuration option is other destinations for which mail
 is accepted.
 
I guess the problem was indeed the dc_other_hostnames= parameter, still, 
further 
testing is needed.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  For one off calculations I find qalculate quite useful. Apart from

 I like qalculate because it
 - can be used it on the command line
 - will solve equations like '2x=4' or whatever

qalculate is a very nice find, its far more than I hoped for, although units 
serves me well to.
Thank you very much fellow Debian users.

system freezes, some times I'm able to switch to another tty and end the
process but it happens the it can hard freeze and in that case the only
way to unmount my file systems is with sysrq.
Thank you very much.

 Thank you.
 
 There are a lot of different ways to go about this.  One of the most
 common programs do do this is tar.
 
 rsync is good if you have another place that you would like to use as a
 mirror.
 
 Then there are things like rdiff that let you do incremental backups of
 only things that change.
 
 You really just need to find the tool that is best for you.
 
 Joe
Thank you Joe.

I intend to back up to an external hard drive, do you think rsync wold
do the job or is rdiff more suitable for this?

 José,
 
 What is your backup medium?
Its an external hard drive.
  How big is your /home?
Its about 75 G.
  Do you want it
 stored compressed or uncompressed?
Uncompressed is fine, but compression wold save some space.
  How about encrypted or unencrypted?
Unencrypted is also fine.
 How quickly does it need to be accessible?
ASAP.
  Do you always need the whole
 of /home, or do you often find that you only need to restore one or two
 files?
The hole stuff wold be needed.
 
 Regards,
 
 -Roberto
 

Thanks Roberto.

Information about Etch updates.

2007-03-31 Thread José Santos
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello!

 I would like to know if there is a site or a mailing list were i could
read about the updates for Etch that are released on a regular basis.
 The info in the update manager is some times insufficient to fully
understand what the updates are addressing and if there is the chance of
running in to troubles installing a particular update.

Thank you for your time.

 I'm not cheering just yet, but I am being cautiously optimistic. From
 reading this, it seems like Dell maybe, maybe, have got the message
 right;

Dell recognizes the importance of open source, GPL-licensed
drivers which are maintained upstream in kernel.org. They allow
users the widest choice of Linux distributions, effectively
taking the specific hardware and distribution out of the
decision-making process and let you focus on solving your
business problems. We will work with our hardware partners to
develop, test, and maintain Free drivers, and continue to make
progress towards that goal for all drivers.
 Now *that* is darned encouraging!

 From http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/03/28/9655.aspx
 That is great news!

 I'll probably hold on to buy a laptop and see if these babies are
 really worth the shot!

 I tend to build my own boxes, but rest assured, I *will* buy at least
 one dell just to support this effort -- assuming it all comes to
 fruition.

 Lots of Dell here in Mexico: can you imagine seeing a box for sale with
 *Linux* on it?! Far out!

I tend to be cautious when reading such announcements from a major
manufacturer like Dell.
Lets hope for the best.
