I can't help you to solve the problem, to say it first. But I had the
exactly the same Problem with a self-compiled 2.6.14 kernel (from the
kernel-source-2.6.14 package) and packaged with make-kpkg.



Trying to "remove" the package worked everytime fine, put when I tried
to purge the 2.6.14-kernel then I got the same error as You. I
unfurtunatly don't remember with which "version" of make-kpkg (i.e.
kernel-package) i compiled it, but comparing then the remove-script of
my kernel-image-2.6.14 deb there was a difference with later

remove-scripts. Maybee so a "idea" could be to analize the
remove-script under /var/lib/dpkg/info in the (probably) apropriate
postrm-Script?


Sorry for my bad english,


Regards


Salvatore

Hi,



        Most of my files/folders are owned by root.  It's starting to seem like that's not such a great idea because a few of the programs that I use don't like 
you to be root when you run them.



        So I'm thinking that I should start recursively changing the ownership of my files to the local user, as I'm the only user of this computer anyways.  I'm 
not sure if 


I said what I said correctly, but is changing my ownership drastically like this a good idea?  Isn't it bad to have so many files owned by root?  If my system 
got 


compromised then they could do whatever.

That would be a very bad idea.  Trust us.  Things were set up the way
that they were set up for a reason.  It was not simply an accident.

No.  In fact it would be bad to have them owned by any user other than
root.


> If my system got compromised then they could do whatever.


If your system was compromised then they could do whatever regardless
of the ownership of those files.

Note that I am assuming that you are talking about system files.
Files in your $HOME directory should be owned by you of course.

It would be best to simply continue using the system until you learn
more about it.  When you understand how your system works then you
will realize that root is the best owner for those files.  Later you
will look back on this and laugh.

Hi,

I want to test how a program would run with a reduced physical

like to evaluate the performance of the system with 2 GB physical
RAM. Of course, I could remove on of the RAM modules. But, is
there also a way to disable the physical memory by software?

At boot time specify the "mem=VALUE" parameter to the linux kernel.
This is easily done with grub at the grub boot screen by adding the
parameter to the end of the existing boot options.

Hey,

My desktop has Debian Etch running on it. I have another laptop has
latest Ubuntu installed on it. I want my Debian Etch box to serve as
file server so I can back up the files from Ubuntu laptop to Debian
desktop.

I installed nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server on my Debian Etch box. In
the /etc/exports  and /etc/hosts I made the corresponding
configurations. From Ubuntu's shell I install and started the nfs-
common and created a directory /mnt/private. But mount rocky-desk:/
home/lover/shareTest /mnt/private/ makes owner and group of the /mnt/
private to nagios. The permission for that is 644. My user name for
the Ubuntu box is not nagios. I do not even use root to change /mnt/
private 's permission. Can any of you tell me how I can make the
ubuntu box's /mnt/private directory with correct user & group so I can
read and write the files stored on Debian Etch box please?

Blessings,
Rocky

 client <-> server <-X-> internet=20

That is exactly my issue . Excuse me for not being
clear ! Anyway, has somebody a solution .
I have read that client and server must be able to
make a reverse resolution of the client and the
server, but I am not sure of it and I don t have an in
depth knowledge of nfs .=20

Hi Ivan,

you might want to try kstart, which is included in a standard KDE install.
It lets you start applications setting several window-related properties.

What is the question re /dev/hda?  'deleting' a file on a filesystem
simply removes the file name out of a directory listing and marks the
inodes as free.  The data is still left on the drive untill written
over.  Actually, even after being written over its still possible to
retrieve it forensically.  

What you are showing is a prime example of why its a good idea to have
an encrypted swap and /tmp on tmpfs so that nothing from memory or /tmp
can end up on the drive enclare.

You should only run root when you need to run root, and your umask
should be conservative.  You should probably read harden-doc although
realize that it is a little out of date.  You should _never_ run the
xserver as root.  Run as a normal user and use su (or some such) to
become root only as needed.

Are these files/folders in /root?  If so, the easiest way would be to,
as root, move them into your normal user's home directory then do a
chown -R user.user on the whole directory.

With the internet off, check:

ping from client to server by name
ping from server to client by name

Send us /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts.*, /etc/nsswitch.conf

Do you have a firewall that perhaps is changing config depending on
internet status?  What firewall do you use?

Relavent error messages:

1.	take a copy of /var/log/syslog on each machine.
2.	Try to mount an NFS directory
3.	Record any visible error messages on either box
4.	Take another copy of /var/log/syslog on each machine and diff
	with the previous copy, and send the diffs, snipping off
	extraneous or sensitive data.

Good luck,

Doug.

According to the description it is scriptable. You could write an=20

Hhhm, this behaviour is typical to German keyboard layouts (maybe others=20
