Hello - I've used Gallery2 and Gallery1 by installing from the tar.gz 
package from the menalto website.  I see they are available in Sarge, and I 
have questions about installing one codebase and using from several 
different virtual host URLs.

I'd like to know more about how the install goes using the deb packages. 
What are you asked during installation, ie do they give you a chance to 
install to virtual hosts?  I've read the support docs about how to do that 
starting with the tar/gz package, but I haven't been successful doing it 
that way for multiple virtual hosts on the same server, AND I know it would 
be generally more desirable to install from the sarge packages with a Debian 
package manager etc.

I'm guessing the deb packages install and then you are just directed to the 
/gallery2/install directory after which you proceed with the web installer 
like I do starting from the tar.gz package?  Or does Debian do it a 
different way?

Thanks any comments about gallery2 on virtual hosts.

- John

fail2ban is designed to ban ip addresses when someone tries to
authenticate against *your* box nd fails the specified number of
times. It is generally used for things like banning ip's that are
dictionary attacking you ssh server or something along those
lines. I'm not sure its really suited to do what you want.=20

Does the authentication failure get to /var/log/exim4/paniclog? that
thing is empty unless there is a real problem, so just checking the
file size of panic log would be simple and straightforward.=20

I have two machines with Nvidia cards. I've tried the nv driver, and 
while it's perfectly adequate for general use, it won't drive the 
video resolution above 1024x768 (in my experience), and color depth 
is stuck at 16bits.

Also, if you have to have TV out, using the Nvidia driver may be the 
only way to do that. I didn't find any way to make the nv driver 
activate the TV out system back when I was trying to make it work. 
Unfortunately, it didn't work well enough for me anyway, I expect to 
go to the MythTV forums when I build my TV server to find out what 
video-out cards work for other people.

For me, the color depth, 3D acceleration, better font-size control 
with DPMS, and the native 1400x1050 and 1280x800 monitor resolutions 
are un-beatable combinations in favor of using a non-free binary 
driver like the Nvidia.

number your internal lan addresses in a different subnet. Use
192.168.2.x for your lan. Then, because the modem is on a different
subnet, it should "just work". At least in my lan it works that
way. My dsl modem is accessible as 192.168.0.1 while my lan is
192.168.1.x.

also, you can sometimes (depending on how its all configured) access
the modem by browsing to your *public ip* which resolves to your
modem, but since you're coming form the inside, it gives you the
configuration.=20

I've had this problem for a while, and I can't seem to solve or even fully 
diagnose what's wrong. The 2 most common symptoms are:
1) random segmentation faults during compiling. It's most apparent (and 
annoying) during long compiles. There's sometimes an assembler message 
instead, complaining about unknown variables or junk at end of line. In the 
error message it's often apparent that something got corrupted by one 
character. The file is usually a header and it isn't corrupted on disk.

2) occasionally the system goes wild and thrashing, sucking up nearly all cpu. 
Sometimes it causes the machine to lock up, but usually I can kill the 
process that triggered the problem and everything settles down after 10 
seconds or so. If I restart the process, sometimes everything's okay, 
sometimes it goes wild again.

Is this a familiar problem? Is it the mobo or ram? Or is it a software issue 
messing up virtual memory? My bios is updated, and I've tried several kernels 
in the 2.6 line, including a couple of custom compiles. The problem exists 
even in single-user mode, so it doesn't have anything to do with the 
windowing system. I'm currently using kernel 2.6.21, etch amd-64, ext3 fs, 
and sata disk (WD Cavalier, I think).

Please help  :(

apt-get is a CLI.  Try 'apt-get remove --purge somepackage'.

I've done it successfully to other accounts on the localhost, but I
don't know about your own accoutn, maybe that causes a problem?=20

did you get some output from this command?=20


>=20

our results are the same to here:

=2E..

> debug1: Offering public key: /home/tong/.ssh/id_rsa


and then mine just works:

=2E..
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /home/andrew/.ssh/identity
debug1: Offering public key: /home/andrew/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 277
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: Sending env LANG =3D en_US.UTF-8


>=20
> Anything else is wrong?=20


without seeing some output from ssh-copy-id above or some confirmation
that the command acutally did something, I'd guess that was the
problem...=20

or perhaps something else in sshd_config or in a local ssh config
(something in ~/.ssh/ somewhere)

I don't think the versions are the issue. pubkey authentication has
worked for a long time...

This is probably related:

  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-sysvinit-commits/2006-November/000923.html

  "It is useful to disable this on machines with the root file system in
  NFS until ifup from ifupdown work proberly in such setup."

I did not research this problem to root cause but on the surface it
appears that it is related to your issue.

Right.  That is a bad side-effect.  Instead the client should block
and wait for the server.

Glad to hear that the default is the one that works for you.

I thought you were talking about the sync/async option.  See this
reference for more information.

I think this would be covered by the 'initscripts' package.  You may
want to look to see if this is already reported in the BTS.

Hi,

I got a problem, I am using cpanel it keeps replacing postfix with exim. 
I like to know what is the simplest way to tell apt-get not to install 
exim. I have try to google, but most of the stuff I am reading makes it 
sound like you can't tell apt-get not to install app.

Payne
