[SLUG] howto rerun Ubuntu/Debian keyboard detect program?
When setting up Ubuntu/Debian in 'advanced' mode, a screen comes up that detects your keyboard by asking you to type in a series of characters. How would I get that program to run again on a machine that's already installed? I've swapped a (hardware) keyboard on a machine to a different language layout, and I want the labels on the keys to map to what is actually entered. -- Sonia Hamilton blog: http://SoniaHamilton.wordpress.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I don't know the package that asks you to type the keys and auto-magically determines the keyboard, so if you or anyone finds out, I would like to know. However, I do know that you can change the keyboard this way (if you know the language layout)...

Sam,
thanks
in present scenario, domain rewrite seems the best choice, eventually, the
current domain will be dropped
.htaccess
---
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*oldwebsite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.preferredwebsite.net/$1 [R=301,L]
-
how do interpret 'www.sub.domain.org.au' in above rewritecond: ?
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*domain\.org\.au$ [NC]
?

[SLUG] Netcomm Nb9W - any problems with Linux?
Hi all, I'm with TPG and thinking of using their VOIP service. To do so I'll need to get an NB9W - my current modem only has one port and no phone port. Apparently the NB9w uses an SPI firewall. Wikipedia lists the following pitfall: Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Vista, uses TCP window scaling for non-http (web) connections. So do Linux kernels from versions 2.6.8 on. This behavior is incompatible with some firewalls that use SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) as found in routers like the Checkpoint NG R55, Cisco PIX and IOS, NetApp Cache Appliances, SonicWall, D-Link DI-724U, Netgear WGR614, and Linksys WRT54GS. [1] This may be related to previous failures to work properly. Pre-released (beta) versions of Vista allegedly had more problems, including failed http (web) connections through SPI firewalls.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall#Pitfalls I've searched the Ubuntu forum and searched a little further, but come up with nothing specific. Does anyone know if this information is accurate, or out-of-date? Thanks for any information or referral.
