Re: New to iptables

While you computer should be protected by a fire wall (I use shorewall for that) maybe you should look at privoxy. privoxy is a Privacy Enhancing Proxy that the browser can be set to go through to access web sites. The privoxy setup for your sand-boxed install would be set to allow access only

Windows is another story. You can't just change video cards since you might trigger Windows wanting to be authorized again. I found logs for each VM in /var/log/libvirt/qemu. Is that where you were looking? *...Bob* On 01/01/2017 05:36 PM, Gary Dale wrote: > On 01/01/17 05:18

Re: debugging KVM connections

I've had a similar problem after an xorg update on a VM running with the QXL video display. I downgrade the xorg packages and all is well. If you are not running X then this may not help you. You might try another video display like VMVGA. Have you tried ssh into the VM after the viewer closes

Try system-rescue-cd at http://www.system-rescue-cd.org. It has a full set of Linux commands (boots several versions of Linux kernels) and some hardware diagnostics including memtest86 you mentioned. It is a full Linux OS even with a graphical mode (run startx or select on main menu) to run a bro

Re: Recommendation: Backup system

Like I said backuppc uses incremental and full backups. The web interface lets you browse any backup (inc or full) and you see all the files backed up. I set the incremental for each day up to a week. So I have up to 7 of them. The full can kept for for however long you want. I currently keep

Re: Recommendation: Backup system

I use backuppc. It is web browser based setup and usage. It takes incremental and full backups that can remain as long as you want or have space for. It can browse files by name or in a version mode where you can see the date where a file changed and restore an earlier version if you want (or to

Re: (OT kinda) Newly-discovered TCP flaw

The way to do it is to put the line: net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 9 in a file in the /etc/sysctl.d directory named xxx.conf (replace xxx with your preferred name). Then run "sysctl -p xxx.conf" and the new value is installed in the kernel tree. My system had a value of 100 before

Have you configured pavucontrol? Under the "Output Devices" tab you should see the BT headphones and other audio devices in your system. If you don't see the BT device (even if you do see it) then go to the "Configuration" tab and make sure the BT device is in Hi fi playback mode (A2DP) and not O

Brad Do you know what is holding up the libkf5... transition to 5.23 in testing? I see there are some architectures that have build problems. Will that hold up the amd64? About half of my libkf5 files are at 5.22 and the other half at 5.23. *...Bob* On 07/06/2016 04:58 PM, Brad Rogers wrote

I installed just libkf5plasma5 (5.23) in my 4 test VMs running Debian testing and confirmed that it appears to have fixed the right click problem. The test VMs were upgraded this morning. I just downloaded the libkf5plasma5 deb file and installed it with dpkg -i. This kept me from adding uns

Re: Recovering data from a Raid 1Sata HD

Yes you can mount the single raid1 disk. Your wheezy system should have recognized your drive as a md device when booted. Run the commend 'cat /proc/mdstat'. It will show you the current md devices and their status. This is what I get after connecting a drive to my system over a usb connection.

Re: after update kde (plasma) will not start any more

Try this to see if it works: The solution is to downgrade libqt5x11extras5 to libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64 (or 385 if your system is 32bit). You should find libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2+b1_amd64.deb in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory if you haven't run "apt-get clean" recently. Mine was
