arno-iptables-firewall package question
So far as I can tell, the firewall package is only installing itself after the network has already come up. From what reading I've done, this is the wrong order. How can I correct that order after the package has been installed so arno-iptables-firewall runs just before the network connection gets brought up? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

d-i issues
Hi, I downloaded the latest d-i: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso and used it to install a lenny system but only with what was in the iso. Ran into the following: I don't want lenny, I want sid and have a sid local mirror. The reason I don't want lenny is that it takes me 3 days to download a lenny system and with sid a matter of seconds. But changing the sources to sid, dist-upgrade only upgrades 4 packages from the 138 installed. So in attempting to install kernel-package ran into the problem with perl: perl-base is installed but is 5.10.0-10 and perl wants 5.10.0-11. The reason I want kernel-package is I have to roll my own kernel because the one that comes with d-i (2.6.25-2-686) fails to give me framebuffers so I can't see a thing with those huge 80x25 characters.

Indeed I did use the rt2500 from the rt2500-source package with the old kernel, and the in-kernel drivers with the new kernel.

And guess what: vga=791 works! The problem lies in the .config file that Debian uses and apparently my hardware. Something that Maximilian Attems pointed out in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481063: ... please enlighten us on the .config changes. we are *not* carrying any fb specific patches. ... So now I have to go item by item and investigate the diff in .config files, which is vast because with my .config the kernel compiles in 12 minutes and with the Debian .config it takes 1 hour + 20 minutes! That is good news. You may be getting close to a solution. Might I suggestion the following incantation: diff -y | less I use that after I compile my new kernels from source and respond to the questions presented by 'make oldconfig'. I keep personal documentation on the kernel config settings that are relevant for my machines, and I have found this diff trick to be the fastest way to incorporate changes with new kernel versions. The "-y" option gives you a side-by-side dump of both files -- no lines omitted -- with indicators of lines that are different and lines that are contained in only one file. Hopefully you have a fairly high resolution monitor! ;) I like to run that diff in an xterm that I have maximized using the F11 key. Good clue! But I am no closer and consider giving up: it would only be useful if I found a kernel parameter for the cmdline to avoid being without framebuffers. Any other "fix" entails recompiling the Debian Kernel, e.g. in order to install uvesfb you have to do that. The last Debian kernel that ran with vga=791 was 2.6.24. So I did a diff -y beteen that and 2.6.25 that does *not* allow vga=791. That file is here: http://www.geocities.com/hugovanwoerkom/config-24-25-diff.txt Thanks David!

airprime module compilation

. Now, I want the device to be driven my the aiprime module. To do so, I
edited `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/drivers/usb/serial/airprime.c' so that
there are the following lines in it:
static struct usb_device_id id_table [] = {

{ USB_DEVICE(0x05c6, 0x3100) }, /* CDMA Wireless Modem/Phone */
{ },
};
, then compiled the module with:
# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
# cp airprime.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
, but the device does not work. Did I miss any thing important?

How to restore the default top panel in xfce4
Hi: I'm meeting a problem on xfce4 panel after I did a full package upgrade (no dist-upgrade), debian lenny/sid 2.6.24-1, xfce4.4-2, xfce4-panel 4.4.-2-6. My default top panel with the task list, workspaces was becoming bigger after the upgrade, and I couldn't get it back to normal by modifying the properties of the panel. So I removed the panel, and tried to add a new panel. But there is no option for the newly added panel to be placed at the top of screen. I have to get the previously removed panel back because I want one panel be on top of the screen. Does any one know how to do that? Thanks a lot! Michael.

I sometimes have a hard time figuring out why apt keeps certain packages back. For example the other day during an apt-get upgrade it was "keeping back" openoffice (and all the OO componant packages). It was not requiring any packages to be removed, it wasn't causing any major packages to be upgraded. How can I find out the *reason* why a package is kept back?

Finally got Google Earth working on amd64
Hello, all: A while back, there was some discussion here about Google Earth not working on amd64 systems. I decided to take another whack at it today, using make-googleearth-package. I had it download the latest GoogleEarth.bin, but then, trying to make the package, it threw lots of warnings at me, claimed "Success!" at the end, but in fact had failed to build a package. So, I decided just to go with 'sh GoogleEarth.bin' (as root) which installed Google Earth. So far, so good, but when I invoked googleearth, as an ordinary user, I got an "authentication error." So, I googled that, and learned that I needed to install lib32nss-mdns. Did that, and now I have Google Earth - with all its cool new features - up and running; and I did NOT have to remove my ~/.googleearth directory (as one googled answer had suggested), so that all my saved sites were still listed.

how to close port 113 ident xinetd
Hi,
I tried doing an nmap scan on myself the other day and found that tcp
port 113 was open. Nmap listed the service as ident. I am trying to
remove this service since I don't think I need it, but I can't figure
out how. I removed the package pidentd, after which nmap reported the
port was still open, but changed its service description to "auth?".
I have no other identd related packages installed on my system. I
used netstat to find the process listening on port 113 and it seems to
be xinetd. The exact listing of the process in `ps` is
root 6766 1 0 17:45 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/xinetd
-pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid -stayalive -inetd_compat -inetd_ipv6
I've pasted my /etc/xinetd.conf file at the end - it is really short
and doesn't contain anything relating to ident. An ls on
/etc/xinetd.d shows these files:
chargen daytime discard echo time
I should also mention that xinet seems only to be listening on the
default ipv6 address ::, and not on any ipv4 addresses.
I don't think removing xinetd is the right way to go, but I haven't
been able to find any answers on google. And I don't want to go about
blocking ports on my firewall as that doesn't seem to me like a real
solution - I just want to stop/remove the process that is listening on
this port.
Thanks in advance for your help!

That's presumably the reason for the changed description from nmap - xinetd is still listening on the port, but can't find the program when it tries to start it. Removing the package has hopefully removed the relevant line from the config file (/etc/inetd.conf?), so xinetd won't listen on that port when it restarts.

From the network diagram we see that dalton also knows the (connected) route to cantor via eth3 (aka eth1). Assuming no iptables blocks on any of the three systems, you still need to ensure: 1) That cantor knows the route to joule (via dalton) 2) That joule knows the route to cantor (via dalton) In short, every step along the way needs to know how to route packets in both directions. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
