Re: [Linux-users] new Firefox laggy

Thats not the only thing wrong with firefox. The mozilla foundation
wants more censorship.

It will die a death very soon unless someone forks it.

Hi Guys

Another great service is Digital Ocean you can get a basic linux server for
just $5 USD. That gives you 512mb ram 20Gb drive and 1Tb of bandwidth. They
also have block storage if you need to more storaged to store files. I use
it for my owncloud server.

As nix users we should stop supporting Computer Companies that don't give
you a way to turn off secure boot. You can still use uefi with out secure
boot and if you need to use it ubuntu has the necessary files to enable
secure boot. As for people like myself who use arch if i cant turn off
secure boot then we just don't support that company with our money.

However in countries like China who are trying to move away from Microsoft
spyway they are using Linux so their computer companies will still need to
support legacy or a way to turn offsecure boot.

PS The approved way of forwarding X windows is to do it using SSH. I
only use X forwarding occasionally on my LAN so I reckon the security
provided by SSH is overkill for my situation.

Both ways are fundamentally different and complement each other.

Remote X-server connection (XDMCP):
   Connection security: none;
 furthermore the X server is exposed as a network service.
   Performance: excellent (on LAN), though not all 2D/3D acceleration may
   be available (not sure of the precise details).
   Desktop functions: available, the whole desktop is remote.
   Is sometimes not well supported because of a perceived lack of
   use-case.

ssh X forwarding:
   Connection security: excellent.
   Performance: sucks. Bordering on being useable on a 100Mbit LAN, with
   apps that contain their own operating system (like all the mozilla
   stuff), or KDE apps. Perfect for straightforward X11 apps like nedit.
   Desktop functions: not available; only individual apps can be run.

There's a third option:

Remote desktop:
   E.g. VNC type methods.
   Connection security: possible, SSL
   Performance: lousy. Sluggish even on LAN, and the clients I tried
   really sucked - severe graphics errors, dumb layout wasting screen
   real estate, unsupported software. Badly designed protocols to top it
   off (my impression).
   My conclusion: useless.

Volker

I use a program called x2go http://wiki.x2go.org/ its great and easy to 
setup, much easier than using x11 forwarding. They have clients for 
windows as well.

 Hi Chris  Others,

 I know what it's like. Would you mind keeping an eye out for exotic
 hardware, before it goes to molten media? They tend not to know much about
 what they are scrapping.

 As an example, I recently pulled an ordinary looking ISA card from an
 absolutely shagged old 386. This card was the basis for downloading data
 from a portable ECG monitor (as used in ambulances) into a computer.
 Without it the heartbeat waveform was only 8 pixels high on the LCD screen
 the units have. Would have otherwise taken months to reverse-engineer the
 communication these devices were using. Now I can just buy a PC104
 motherboard from ebay, install the operating system and hard-wire the card
 straight on to it!

 Do let me (us?) know if anything exotic turns up, as the hardware is
 needed to create drivers, which in turn could possibly end up in the linux
 kernal!

 Cheers,

 Peter

 Hi Chris  Others,

 I think these may be useful when formatted with FAT32 and maybe on a
 USB2 to PATA adapter. I have tried on many occasions to get various
 livecd distributions to work on various hard drives. They always seem to
 require FAT32, and frequently fail due to some other factor (I'm
 guessing the USB-PATA bridge). Perhaps the lower CHS count on these
 drives may improve compatibility? Have seen W98SE2 running on an 80Gb
 drive myself. I also suspect there is some extension to FAT32 used by
 default at least in windoze that would seem to create incompatibilities
 with creating bootable live CD distros.

 Hopefully someone else on the mailing list will be able to give better
 advice...

 In any case, I could do with a few of these myself, to upgrade some
 legacy systems.

 Cheers,

 Peter

Shutdown the computer don't restart, then turn it back on. Ss soon as you
push the power on key then press the f10 key (once every second) it should
go into the bios.

The first time i bought computer it was a consumer HP pc and that was the
last time. I find they are worst than a dell for lock in, software and
hardware. The HP business desktops are much better.

 Hi Steve,

 Have you checked the MTU and tcp-mss? This smells MTU related.

 Generally speaking most DSL’s should be either 1492 or 1500 bytes. So to
 check this do the following:

 ping -M do 8.8.8.8 -s 1464 #check if its 1492 bytes
 ping -M do 8.8.8.8 -s 1472 #check if its 1500 bytes

 Remember the size value is the payload size so this excludes the IP header
 (20 bytes) and ICMP header (8 bytes).

 Cheers,

 performance has plummeted.
 
  The best way of describing the problem is that you need to refresh a web
 page before you get any content. In addition, bulk loading across a VPN (
 eg scp ) fails regularly.
 
  Basic design of network: 'firewall' server runs fail2ban and links
 upstream ADSL to local wireless and wired subnets. It also provides DNS (
 caching server ), DHCP, OpenVPN etc services.
 
  I initially thought it was a DNS problem, and have migrated from the
 local ( Voda ) DNS servers to OpenDNS, having briefly tried Googles
 resolvers on the way. No improvement.
 
  Any thoughts on what I can try to identify the real problem? My thought
 is that the GCSB are involved somewhere along the line, but as a SysAdm I
 am paid to be paranoid!

Re: [Linux-users] transparent squid proxy with a separate wifi gateway

[Bevan]

There is no squid on the pfsense wifi gateway they just nat portforward
 everything on http to the linux squid server. The current squid servers
(3.1) don't have iptables enabled because the pfsense gateways are doing
the role of the firewall. However of course this wont work on any squid
server 3.2 onwards because there needs to be some natting done on the squid
server itself. Something to do with preventing host head forgeries.

 We have a several pfsense embebbed boxes as wifi gateways acting as

 It appears the traffic just loops inside squid on localhost.

  Reiterating for understanding...

 You have clients behind a pfsense box, which is running captive portal and
 transparent proxy on http with Squid.

 The traffic is then picked up by other squid processes, using transparent
 proxy again?

 And the problem is that the squid boxes keep forwarding to themselves?



 *If adding NAT seems like a good answer, you're asking the wrong question.*

 The pfsense squid boxes can use the main squid boxes as parents if you
 want, but realistically its primarily about logging and/or filtering, not
 about bandwidth saving.


 Perhaps it would be better to break the problem down - first try
 connecting explicitly to the squid process from a client, and then test the
 transparent proxy part of the main squid boxes.



 In your squid configs, do you have any of these options?

 follow_x_forwarded_for allow all
 acl_uses_indirect_client on
 log_uses_indirect_client on
 delay_pool_uses_indirect_client on





 Questions:
 What do the squid access logs say?
 What are you doing with the https traffic  like google and facebook?
 Are the main squid boxes internal to the LAN on each site, or connected
 somewhere else?
 A network map might go a long way to explaining it with less typing - do
 you have one?

 What are your goals / outcomes for this setup ?

In reply Volker Kuhlmann comment about looking for list members to do it

create a member logins for those who wish, if they want to add content by

I am also thinking of adding a Christchurch Linux news board as well. Where
any news about Linux in Christchurch can placed there too.

Re: [Linux-users] CLUG at Pub, My 2 cents worth

I remember an doco about linux and it showed people who had issues with
linux would bring in their linux machines so others could help them trouble
shoot any issues they might have. I think that would be a great way to get
people into linux. Maybe we could rent a room (if other linux users of this

a Saturday.

 Hi All,

 That idea would be great for newbies too. I Have had several employers who
 fund these sorts of events, and from my own perspective find that this
 really helps getting focused on the job at hand as well as getting a handle
 on the nature of the job (and people) at hand.

 The human factor also helps a great deal in even at least getting the
 right mindset for working on a new system, and helps a great deal in
 keeping motivated. This was always a case with the Amiga community, as
 those systems were such a dog to use, but with the different perspectives
 of other users, and at times encouragement, support and ideas; usually it
 was possible to find a way through the technical jumble of using those
 machines.

 Regarding venues, There a 2 possibilities I can put forward;

 The Peg in Belfast; Usually heaps of space (tables) available. Regulars
 are usually there in the afternoons only.

 The Speights Ale house (Tower Junction) Very busy usually. Atmosphere
 seems quite professional though.


 Not to forget the various Churches around, usually with good sized halls
 that lie idle most of the time.

 Just 2 cents worth, but hopefully good ideas.

 Cheers,

The way they are rolling the ufb seems pretty daft, doing some area but not
completing them. The only reason I'm about that because when Telstra was
laying cable, they stopped when they bought Clear. Man i was bitter then

Hi



I live in Penwood St and had a look at your site for when fibre is coming
and it appears we missed out. You were coming down Hawthornden road as well
as Yaldhurst road and it appears you have stopped at Withells Rd. Now i
don't see any more work happening. What is the big idea? Do we miss out
again? We missed out on the Telstra cable when they bought Clear and it
seems we will miss out again or will we get it in 2020. Do you have any
idea when we will get it. It seem most of Christchurch has it but not us.

And then got back this anwer

Dear  Bevan,



Thank you for your email regarding fibre availability in your area.
Enable’s network roll-out is a large-scale infrastructure project and it
will take us a number of years to complete. We negotiate and agree our
fibre broadband network deployment plans with our Government partner, Crown
Fibre Holdings, for each year.



Our government partner requires that we focus on making services available
to priority broadband users in the first instance – such as businesses,
schools, health services and new subdivisions – and deploying network in
areas where these users are will be our focus until the end of 2015. The
most recently announced plan was up to July 2015. We are currently planning
the deployment of our network for the following year. Unfortunately Enable
is not able to provide a clear indication of when fibre broadband will be
able at your address at this time.



Please continue to consult our website at www.enable.net.nz. You can sign
up for updates to learn our build schedule as we release it and to know
when works will begin in your area. If you have further queries, please
contact us at supp...@enable.net.nz or 0800 4 FIBRE and we will be happy to
assist.

If so, it appears to have 2 versions with different chips.

Re: [Linux-users] nzviddl - download video from NZ news sites

Hi Guys

I can watch tvnz on demand in firefox on my arch system by installing
hal-flash from the aur (Arch user repos)

there is probably a fix for Ubuntu but I'm not sure

Re: [Linux-users] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Running 14.04 on the main computer with unity and i like it. Find it great
to use and would recommend this to a new user. The only issue i have is
with Kaffeine for my tv card. I can get video but sound is hissy and
distorted. I think its xine issue.  Cant run dvb in totem as there is an
issue with it and there is a bug logged and has a fixed.. I hope Ubuntu
release it soon. In the meantime I can use Kaffeine to record and vlc to
playback and watch live tv.

I run arch in the form Antergos  on my laptop and have also installed it on
my daughters laptop.

Re: [Linux-users] Fwd: Ubuntu One file services

[Bevan]

My solution is really simple. I use raspberry pi with unison install on it
and i have setup dynamic dns with no-ip. unison will do bidirection rysnc
of file over ssh and there are Unison clients for windows and linux. I have
bought Acrosync Pro for my iphone to sync with the pi as well. although
unison uses rsync with diff over ssh which are standard linux software you
still need unison installed on your server as well.

Re: [Linux-users] new Seagate 1T drive x Warehouse Stationary

[Bevan]

I have a seagate 3tb drive and i have no problems with it. I formatted the
whole drive as ext4 which i use for my backintime backups. I haven't cut it
up into partitions and i only use it when i want to back up so it has stays
under the couch in its box.

I think they have some kind propriety software running as an interface but
it still works with Linux i.e. some details of the drive aren't available.
I have checked the forums and other Linux users use them with no problems.
I would suggest just to check the forums yourself just in case.

thanks for all your help

the commands you guys gave me were helpful i have tracked it down to a cron

a piece hard rock music but because i had turned off the speakers i didn't

been resolved. Still dont understand why it would fill up the system

 That's not quite the whole picture.

 If you are doing regular software updates, extra disk space will be used
 by
 the currently in use files until they are released, which happens as they
 are
 shutdown and closed by programs (for example). Even logging out and back
 in
 again sometimes regains 20-50MB after an apt-get dist-upgrade (on sid)
 for me.
 Updating the kernel I find consumes about 15MB until I reboot. OpenOffice
 and
 Chromium use more.
 There are other reasons this can happen in addition to software updates,
 but
 they should be more rare.

 I had a weird one on my home pfsense firewall...   /var is only about 60
 Mbytes, and it was over-full.   As in 109% filled.
 But adu -shc /var returned 8.9 Mbytes in use.

 Turns out that a process of iplog  was running  but the package had been
 uninstalled so it was somehow able to write files into /var and immediately
 delete them, but was not able to clean up the file handle so the disk was
 slowly being eaten.

 Killing iplog was enough to free the file handles and all is well.

 What conclusions do you draw? Is there any major increase?
 Use the commands I gave you and find out which directory is growing,
 then find the file. I can't understand why you will not run the
 commands I suggested.

 I agree with Nick - you've used 4 Mbytes in /var and 1.3 Mbytes in /home
 over the time between the two commands.  Neither of those looks
 particularly unusual.

ok i want to test the root (linux system) drive but the test that i have
done so far dont show what is taking the space. My home is on a separate
partition.

It is only in the morning after the computer has been on over night and
when i come back to it in the morning it is then it starts filling up the
system / partition until it is full or i restart it, then it is good until
the next morning. it not /var and wont be /home.

 One more thing to keep in mind, and this may have been mentioned before...
 depending on how you are invoking du you may be missing files or
 directories due to shell globbing. For example, if you are running du (or
 any command for that matter) from bash as it comes on most systems like this

 du -s *

 to obtain summary disk usage for everything, I would expect that it won't
 scan anything with a name beginning with a period '.' This is due to the
 fact that bash expands * to pretty much everything, except names starting
 with a period.

 To test this, try

 ls *

 in a location where you have some files or directories with names
 beginning with a period, and you may find that they won't be listed. This
 behaviour of bash is configurable by setting the shell option dotglob by
 executing this:

 shopt -s dotglob

 which will make bash expand * to everything, also including names starting
 with a period. You can check the shell options with just

 shopt

 I am not sure whether this is what's missing in your case, Bevan, but it
 is one possible way of missing files and directories.

 If you are using some other shell, this may all be different, but the key
 point is that shells may perform some kind of name expansion, and this is
 often different from what you would expect if you are thinking along the
 lines of regular expressions.

 Kind regards,

 Helmut.

 Well you need to find which file(s) are growing.

 cd /
 sudo du --max-depth=1 -x

 Run it once, wait a while and run it again. Compare. The directory
 which is filling up will be obvious. cd to it and run that command
 again. rinse and repeat.

 Then go that directory


 oops that last line shouldn't be there. By the way the -x excludes
 other file systems, so your /home and /proc and /sys should not be
 scanned.

On 27 April 2012 10:39, Derek Smithies derek.smith...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi,
  Well - the latest is now out. I thought I would do something different,
 and comment on the older version.

 My comments - well - take them as you will..

 Some have decried ubuntu for the lack of configuration tools - to change
 things the way they want. Hmm.
 This is important to some, but I see a computer as a work tool -
 something to pick up and use and get the job done.
 In my experience, tweaking the look almost invariably leads to zero
 productivity improvement, and much wasted time.
 Some teaks do work::decreasing the size of tool bar, adding a cpu
 performance meter. To me - I am happy with the look.

 The update manager seriously annoys me. Some packages hang in the install
 process, doing nothing. You have to open the extra
 details, click q in the less process that is running and trying to
 explain something, and move on. If linux is truly ready for the
 masses, there should be no need for this.

 Pulse annoys me. Pulse is designed around one sound device - which means
 that on a laptop with an inbuilt sound card, and
 usb headset, only one is operational. True - one can go into the
 preferences and move the sound to the headset from the
 sound card. But it is clunky. Would it not be better to make the ring tone
 playable on the speaker, and the conversation on the headset.
 Well - some say - you can edit asound.conf with this wonderful short
 script to get sound that way with alsa. The moment you say,
 edit a system sound file, you are proving linux is not ready for the
 masses.

 Alsa annoys me - applications that are labelled alsa compliant do not
 always work.. A customer asked me to write a linux app
 that has 20 concurrent sound channels on it. On pulse - it runs fine. On
 Alsa - well - it depends. There is now a document that
 says some alsa calls are safe for application developers to use - and
 others that are not safe. Going further, they say that the application
 should write the sound data to the library in sizes appropriate to the
 device - so some want it in 16 or 32 or 200 bytes at a time. All
 applications for alsa have to do this - which means there is a whole lot
 of duplicated code out there. Surely, such bundling of bytes into
 the right size is best done in the library? (That is the purpose of a
 library - to put common code in the one place, accessible to all).

 The transition of Alsa to Pulse is the right transition - the process is
 just painful. Usually hindered by the mountains of legacy alsa scripts
 we have written to get sound somewhat right. Remember that the only thing
 which is advanced in alsa is found in the name.

 But what really bites, and really annoys, is the handling of USB devices.
 This problem is also found on Fedora, so don't get excited.
 I have a USB device which encodes/decodes audio (320 bytes of 8khz audio
 can be turned into 49 bits).  If this device is in the box, the box
 is then powered on, the usb device does not respond to programming
 requests. It shows up at /dev/ttyUSBx - the codec connects to linux
 via a FTDI chip. To get the device to work, it has to be unplugged, and
 plugged in after power up.
 --turns out there are a host of other devices (usb mouse etc) out there
 with a similar problem. Always - they need to be unplugged after boot, and
 then plugged back in, before they will work.
 Turns out that there is a thing called a modem-manager, which actively
 probes all FTDI devices at startup. Yes, I wrote a program to do a
 FTDI reset in an endeavour to bring it back, and copied/tried the programs
 out there to reset the usb bus. None of those brought my USB
 device back to life. So why don't I want to just remove the modem-manager
 (responsible for mobile broadband wireless)?
 Well, I could. It would be problem solved (for me). But for others who use
 my program - they too would have to do the same. And some of
 them are mobile people, and want the modem-manager. Instead, they all have
 to remember to unplug/plug the USB device in, and then start my program,
 and then start work. A process they have to go through every time they boot
 their box.

 Partly the problems results from multiple people using the same
 vendor_id:product_id on different different devices.

 Enough ranting. Maybe this can spark some activity on this list. Who knows
 - I might get lucky and someone tells me how to disable the modem-manager
 for a particular usb vendor/product pair.

 Cheers,
  Derek.

 You'd be surprised - the last 30 pages of the manual for my LG Smart

 Also I understand Sony TV's run a linux kernel.

 So, you never know what is inside that Sanyo!  But its surely easier
