I'm sure there is a 'proper' way to do this, but the quick hack which
works right now is to specify /usr/bin/firefox (or iceweasel,
whatever) as the program to use to open this file (instead of the
default less). Works here, but forces the download dialog to appear as
well (though that is a configurable item in edit->preferences. That's
not really what you're after though, i'd bet.=20

Hi,


Can we help you?X

FYI.  Some time ago I bought a cheap $150 Linspire box
from Frys.  (Great Quality PC, it says on the box.)



I bought it because I knew Linspire did not ship
binary-only drivers, so I knew the box would work
with all distros.  Sadly, Linspire has changed their
policy and buying a box with their OS is no longer
a guarentee of anything.  For that and other
reasons I can no longer recommend buying a pre-loaded
Linspire box.



I'd love to be a fly on the wall when these people are talking
about how they want to sell a crippled box, and what
features they want to pay extra money to rip out.



It comes with a ECS 741GX-M2 motherboard.
(10/18/2005-741GX-M2-6A7I8E19C-00, says the boot screen.)
Turns out this is a ECS 741GX-M motherboard that's been
fitted with a crippled BIOS, as far as I can tell.



It turns out that you can flash the bios with the latest 741GX-M bios
from www.ecs.com.tw.  This gives you the option of
booting at power-up, so you know your box will come
up after a power failure, and lots more.



YMMV.  Don't blame me if you turn your box into a brick.



Here's my notes:



Installed the 41GXMA13.bin bios from:


Can't find what you're looking for?X
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?d=
etailid=3D422&DetailName=3DNew&DetailDesc=3D741GX-M%20%20(V1.0)&CategoryI=
D=3D1&MenuID=3D82&LanID=3D9



Used the AWD865.exe program to do it.



This makes a backup of the old bios:


AWD865 backup.bin /pn/sy



This installs and clears the cmos:



AWD865 41gxma13.bin /py/sn/cc



Then told the bios to install the optimized settings, not the safe
ones.  And then told it to boot at power-up, etc.



The BIOS chip is a:

EN29F002ANT-70JC


You have to rip 2 layers of stickers off to get see the
part number printed on the chip.



Note that the bios protect jumper is documented backwards.
Pins 1 & 2 need to be jumpered to allow the bois to be updated.


Don't know where to look next?X

Hi folks,



I'm generating spurious DNS requests from a
variety of (closed) ephemeral ports. By the time I identify
the port with tcpdump or snort or ethereal the request has
been made, answered and the port closed. So I'd like to
trace the connection back to its source program/process. 
The necessary info isn't present in a pcap dump. So what 
else is there? Any alternative approaches? Any suggestions 
welcome.

Assuming it's not just Bind querying from random ports,
try blocking incoming DNS replies to non-Bind ports so
that the processes hang around waiting for the replies.

You do not need this, although it might be easier than the method=20
already available in vanilla epiphany.



You can achieve the desired behaviour by adding a bookmark containing a=20
"%s" which will be filled with the entered string.



So to add a search for debian bugs just add the following bookmark:

You are a generous person - thank you. The snapshot of Xmms you display 
(+ Husker Du :-) ) pretty much echoes what I was thinking of. I am less 
concerned with Iceweasel, but I guess that it must be something to do 
with GTk*, although what I couldn't imagine. I am not keen on throwing 
yet more fonts at the problem without understanding more of what it is 
that is causing the problem. But maybe it is just GTk*?

Thanks for your assist Florian. Much obliged

Andy

Yes, how did you do that? I did that by creation of a .mailcap file here
with the inclusion of the proper entry, but I could not do it inside the
browser itself, which is a shame. :-(

Yes, that's a semi-solution to the problem, but I could find an
extension to the browser somewhere with Google that makes it open things
with the browser, but as I don't want to have extensions (I want here a
pretty minimal environment), I'm using the mailcap hack. :-(

Hmm...  It is hard to debug remotely.

If you are at the end of the possibilities then I would simply disable
the prerm and postrm scripts entirely.  This is a serious "force"
action but if you have exhausted your other options then this is
probably the best that is left to you.

Edit this file:

  sudo editor /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7.postrm

Change the script so that it is simply the following:

  #!/bin/sh
  exit 0

That can't fail and therefore the dpkg --purge should succeed.  I
believe the postinst script is the oen that calls update-grub and
would match your output and so should be the script that was hanging.
If any remnants of that linux kernel are left after being --purged
then you will need to manually find them and remove them since this
bypasses the normal package scripts that do the final cleanup.

I used to be able to mount USB devices without any problem as long as I
was part of the plugdev group. No need for fstab entries or anything
else. Now I'm getting messages from gnome-volume-manager saying that I
don't have sufficient privileges to mount the volume. I'm not sure
exactly when this started, as I don't use USB volumes all that
frequently. I can see the device using udevinfo and I can mount it as
root manually, but why won't volume-manager work anymore?

Did you look at the actual device nodes in /dev to see who "owns" each de=

Subject:  booting problem (udev related?)
Message-ID:  <87abtaerwv.fsf@catnip.gol.com>
Content-Type:  text/plain; charset=us-ascii

For a long time, I used self-compiled kernels, with no problems.

Recently I installed a debian kernel package, "linux-image-2.6.22-1-686"
(version 2.6.22-3).  [It was a tight fit -- my root partition only has
130MB on it, and the debian kernel package used up 60MB -- but it did fit
with about 4MB to spare!]

The problem is that with the new kernel, the system won't boot all the way.
It fails when it tries to mount the root partition, and dumps me into the
ramfs emergency shell.  The error message is something generic like "File
not found" (sorry for the vagueness, those boot messages don't get saved
anywhere and I didn't write them down).

I seems like it may be related to udev because if I look in /dev, the disk
device nodes which should be there _aren't there_, even though the disk
hardware is recognized fine by the kernel.

Indeed, I can fix things enough in the emergency shell to get the boot to
succeed; I just use the following commands:

   mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
   mount -text2 /dev/sda1 /root

Then I hit ^D to the shell prompt to exit the shell, and the boot continues
sucessfully (I'm typing in that running system now)!

So it appears that for some reason, udev didn't create the appropriate
/dev/sda1 node for the root to be mounted?!?  Oddly, once booting
continues, everything works fine, including mounting of my /usr partition
from /dev/sda3 (notice that I didn't create /dev/sda3 above, and it
certainly wasn't there initially).  [I know my raw /dev directory has an
entry for /dev/sda3 from before udev existed; does udev notice that and
somehow copy it?]

With my old self-compiled kernels, I have no problems, using exactly the
same system.  Those kernels though, have compiled-in drivers for all my
devices, and don't use initramfs (or initrd) at all, so perhaps it's a
module-loading issue?  The last self-compiled kernel I used was version
2.6.19.7 btw.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on, and how I might try to fix it?

BTW, my system uses a SCSI disk with an old Adaptec SCSI card, if that's
relevant... here's some related msgs from dmsg:

Check in /etc/mysql/my.cnf , there you should find some options to log.

This sounds to me as if the initrd did not load the device drivers, as
you suggested later in your message.  Look in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
file and verify that the initrd is being loaded.

Check that you have current versions of 'module-init-tools' and
'initramfs-tools' packages.  The 'mkinitramfs' command is what builds
the initrd.img file.

I think the problem is your clue that previously you had compiled into
your kernel your required modules.  This may be making it difficult
for mkinitramfs to determine which modules are required.  If it fails
to detect this it would build an incorrect initrd.img and have similar
results to what you are reporting.  You may need to hint to it a
module to help bootstrap the system along.

That was a great card.  I have one too but it is no longer in use.
I miss SCSI.

I think it does, but I never used it like that.  Check the manpage.

It certainly can do what you want, if you leave it running and use it as a
shell and not as a single-command download tool. lftp can carry as many
transfers in parallel as needed, to as many sites as needed, and bounce from
one to another as needed.  Pause them, queue them, stop them, etc.

If you need to detach lftp from terminals and access it remotely, screen is
your friend.

I am still struggling with the format of the text file. I haven't had
deskbar create it for me. So, could you please give me a sample?

I tried:
