Re: [Haifux] Router question
Hi, I am also connected to Bezeq Beinleumi (actually 'upgraded' to it after Actcom's demise). I have tried your gpg command, and I found IMO some interesting results. Doing an nslookup on subkeys.pgp.net reveals that this host has a number of IP addresses: $ nslookup Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing. subkeys.pgp.net Server: 10.71.0.138 Address:10.71.0.138#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: subkeys.pgp.net Address: 114.31.78.196 Name: subkeys.pgp.net Address: 208.72.157.55 Name: subkeys.pgp.net Address: 195.113.19.83 Name: subkeys.pgp.net Address: 213.239.206.174 Name: subkeys.pgp.net Address: 213.239.212.133 Name: subkeys.pgp.net Address: 64.71.173.107 I tried your gpg command using the host name subkeys.pgp.net and then with each IP address instead of the host name. Using the host name subkeys.pgp.net causes the command to hang (I guess because the command tries only the first IP address). The command succeeds if using the IP addresses 208.72.157.55 and 195.113.19.83 while it fails for the rest of the addresses. For the last IP address (i.e. 64.71.173.107) causes the command to fail with No route to host, while with the rest of the problematic addresses it just hangs Regards, Emil On Sat, 16 Oct 2010, Ohad Lutzky wrote: Hello everyone, I have a Linksys DSL-2760u router/DSL modem, using a Wow (Bezeq) connection to the Bezeq International ISP.

Re: [Haifux] Kernel oops, so what?
Hi, IIRC in Linux an OOPS will not necessarily freeze the system (though this can be configured via some /proc entry or at compilation time). If an OOPS occurs in the context of a process, that process will be killed with a SEGFAULT, and the system will attempt to continue to work.

Re: [Haifux] Kernel oops, so what?
On Fri, 15 Jan 2010, Eli Billauer wrote: Thanks for your answers (on this one and on my other issues). I realize that the oops is still an oops, only nowadays nobody want to stop the whole show, just because some kernel code misbehaved. If the general idea is that the worst thing a kernel can do is to crash, No, it isn't. Crashing is one of the best of the options in some situations. Imagine a bug in the filesystem that writes a zero byte at random places on the filesystem or even funnier, on the neighboring partitions where you have installed another operating system. (yes I made one such bug once but I did not have another OS installed on other partitions;-). This won't crash the kernel too fast. But the consequences are not funny at all. why crash now? Because the consequences of a faulty kernel can be very dire. The kernel controls the hardware. A faulty kernel can decide to flash the firmware on your DVD drive. Or the BIOS on your motherboard. It's not funny to recover from these. The kernel is assumed to be a trusted component. When this assumption is gone, all your assumptions on security are gone. You are basically back to Windows 3.1 when every process can crash the other one at will. Therefore as soon as the kernel finds itself in an inconsistent state from which it cannot recover, the best option is to crash. Kill the offender, hope it didn't have time to screw things up too much, and go on as if nothing happened. Sooner or later the bug will be fixed, user upgrades kernel, the user won't notice anything. Why make the user's experience miserable with ugly crashes? Well, some people believe that a corrupted filesystem in an irreparable state or a dead DVD-ROM drive is a much worse outcome than a kernel crash. Some security-conscious people (no, I am not one of them) will argue that a cryptography grade random number generator that no longer generates random numbers due to a bug in a driver is a very bad thing. As for my own computer's welfare, this seems to happen once per reboot, with no stability issues at all. I'll see if I can find a way to avoid this, but my gut feeling tells me that the answer is a kernel patch, which is already waiting in the kernel's digestive tract. Sure, as long as it is a personal computer with little important data on it, this is almost OK. However some people want to use linux for more serious applications. I doubt that such kernel behavior is acceptable.

The only problems is that I see no improvement. In particular, the Bayes filtering remains as misled as it was previously, possibly even worse.

Not to mention those mails in which the name of the drugs are in capitalized letters with spaces between them, and then a paragraph with normal text. I'm pretty close to giving up the Bayes filter, and let Razor2 do the job instead. Before I do that, does anyone here have a comment to make on this?

For example: Jan 19 23:38:58 nahum-x telnetd[24258]: ttloop: peer died: EOF Jan 19 23:38:58 nahum-x telnetd[24375]: ttloop: read: Connection reset by peer And this one that is much more to worry about: Jan 21 02:42:57 nahum-x kernel: eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status 8401. Sounds like a broken network card driver. A long time ago, I used to have similar problems with Mandrake 8.0 Try to see if there are any updates for your network card driver or linux distro.

Re: [Haifux] Resizing NTFS problem
Give PartitionMagic a try, if you can. I don't know how it works with XP, but at least with Windows 2000 It does make wonders ;-). Although not being free, I think it's an excellent piece of software. Emil On Wed, 8 Oct 2003, Eli Billauer wrote: Hello all. I have a nasty problem with my newly bought Presario 2121EA Laptop. Well, the problem is really with XP. But on a laptop, a reinstall of XP doesn't sound like much fun. The thingy came with a 18GB hard disk, in one partition of NTFS. I want to resize it to 5 GB (this is the Linux context, right?). I can't, because there is data stored above the cutting point, even though there is plenty of free space. The MS defrag doesn't do this, because there is a nice, unfragmented chunk in the middle of the hard disk. It just says, your disk doens't need defragmentation, which I translate to your computer doesn't need Linux. No piece of the chunk is unmovable. I've already killed virtual memory, hibernation and System backup. It's all plain files out there. I think. I've seen several programs that offer defrag, but all that I've seen are merely a front end to the built-in command-line defrag, which gives me exactly the same annoying answer. (Haven't checked Norton nor Partition Magic yet) I've tried to move files (copy, rename, delete old), but it seems like the chunk I have is the Windows directory itself. I think it's because the laptop installed itself from the hard disk I'm quite surprised that I haven't crashed the system with all this playing. Does anyone have an idea? Except for my own problem-solving, this is expected an issue on insta-parties. People will come with defragged hard partitions that you can't resize. You can tell me to reinstall XP (which I will soon), but that's because the computer is fresh. So, fellows, who knows what to do?

Re: [Haifux] JVM
Hi Nahum, Goto Help-About Plugins and check whether the Java plugin is on. You have to see lots of mime types such as aplication/x-java, application/x-java-applet, etc handled by the plugin. Probably you will not see anything like this, meaning that the java plug-in is not loaded. In this case, 1) Exit netscape. 2) log on as root. 3) copy (or make a symbolic link of) the file /path_to/j2sdk1.4.xx/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so into the directory /path_to/netscape/plugins/ Hope this helps, Emil On Sun, 5 Oct 2003, Nahum Cohen wrote: I have a question regarding Sun JVM runtime version: I am running RedHat 9 and I installed Netscape 7.1.
