this actualy works both ways. 


if you dont have a local iceweasel running, start a remote one, then try
to start a local iceweasel, you actualy get a extra window on your
remote running iceweasel



I have not tested this, but iceweasel/firefox use a wrapper script that
does a lot of things, you can try to call the binary directly and see if
that changes anything it should be called something
like  /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin


Do you need help?X

Try looking in log files such as /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog etc.,
They are invaluable.

The machine running that host is currently down, i already pinged local
admins to reboot the machine. The last thing i saw from that machine was
a load of ~700 before it stopped working.

Has anyone used this yet?  I bought a few tunes, just to try it out, and
it went quite smoothly.  Just being able to use it with Iceweasel (no
user-agent spoofing either) on Debian without any complaint or glitch
was really nice.  And the files sounded great (256K bitrate) and there
was actually a surprisingly not awful selection.  I would have thought
there would have been more hooplah out there about this, but so far
haven't noticed much commentary online.  Maybe I should finally start
reading blogs?

I have seen this for years but until now I just left it alone. I now need to 
be able to allow someone else to do some of the system updating & they are 
not as experienced as I so they are less likely to perceive this as simply a 
quirk. When I do an update or any other function from the xserver screen in 
KDE with any Debian system update app I get this message from the app:


dpkg-preconfigure: cannot connect to X server :0.0
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Kde
debconf: (DISPLAY problem?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 398019 files and directories currently installed.)

It is a source of irritation to me. I tried switching the Xwrapper.config 
to "allowed_users=anybody" (against my better judgement) but that did not fix 
the problem. I do not run these as root but instead use the root password 
from the xserver screen when asked for it.
Any other suggestions?

debconf is set to use KDE as its frontend, which means it needs access
to the xserver, but the X environment is setup for whatever user
initiated this session.=20

well, which app specifically do you want this person to use?=20

I would recommend that you=20

dpkg-reconfigure debconf -plow

to setup debconf for a console based front-end -- either dialog or
curses.=20

the other option is to set up a proper X environment for root that
gets invoked when you run these apps. I don't know how to do this
without reading some manpages, but it involves preserving the users
environment when swithcing over to root's environment and is probably
not advised.=20

My understanding is that it works just fine with linux for individual
tracks, but not for the full album which requires their special
downloader. but that's hearsay from the above articles.

Assuming that its the same size, somewhere there's probably a one-bit
error.  The easist fix is to install rsync on the box you're downloading
to and then use an rsync mirror to fix the image.  Rsync only downloads
the difference between the files.  You can find rsync mirrors listed on
the debian mirrors page.

Well, that teeny bit could be a problem.  

It's likely related to some piece of hardware; not necessarily a
hardware problem but perhaps a problem with with a driver.

The first culpret to check would be X.  Try booting single-user and then
su - to a normal user and use the system (edit some files, run lynx,
whatever) and see if it locks up.  Try setting the system to not boot
into X (get a normal text login: instead).  Then use the system.

Try removing/disconnecting any hardware you don't need: printers, USB
devices other than keyboard/mouse, etc.  Then reboot.  Does it lock up
with fewer devices installed (and therefore fewer modules loaded by
udev)?

Install smartmontools and check your drives.

Check /proc/interrupts and match up what devices are using the highest
interrrupt counts.  

Doug.

Normal is uni-directional.  ECP and EPP are both bidirectional.  I don't
know if your print spooler would prefer bidirectional, in which case try
EPP.

I'm running an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe that has an AM2 socket.  I have an
AMD Athlon64 3800+ in it.  It will take 8 GB ram, 7 on-board SATA ports,
one eSATA port, 10 USB ports (6 for the front, 4 on the rear), firewire,
great sound, one IDE controller, one serial port.  It has the board
connector for a Parallel port but the actual riser to take it to the
back panel costs more than a USB-LPT converter.

So far, everything works great on standard Debian Etch.

Hi all,

Package        : linux-2.6
Vulnerability  : several
Problem-Type   : local

CVE-2006-5755

    The NT bit maybe leaked into the next task which can local attackers
    to cause a Denial of Service (crash) on systems which run the 'amd64'
    flavour kernel. The stable distribution ('etch') was not believed to
    be vulnerable to this issue at the time of release, however Bastian
    Blank discovered that this issue still applied to the 'xen-amd64' and
    'xen-vserver-amd64' flavours, and is resolved by this DSA.
----- End forwarded message -----

What do they mean by an "NT" bit?  I'm assuming (hoping?) that they
don't mean a piece of Windows-NT...

Just curious.

Why is it that there always seem to be another vulnerability found in
the Linux kernel requiring another long download (I'm still on dialup),
when the BSD kernels (which support most, if not all, of the same
hardware) don't?

I was looking yesterday at freedesktop.org/xorg at the state of free
drivers and noticed that this is a known problem with the driver.  Since
I don't have an Intel card, I didn't notice if there is a work-around.
Perhaps you could peruse that site.

I've never seen such a thing as a 32Gbclip.  I know about
master/slave/CS jumper settings.  The only drives I've had new are the
546MB drive that came in my 486 and my two Seagate 70 GB drives that are
in my SATA which only have a SATA-1/SATA-II jumper.

None of my other drives have such a thing as a 32GB clip.  The Quantum
850 MB only has three jumper positions that select master/slave/CS.  The
WD drives do have some extra pins so I'll have to track those down, but
of course they are already less than 32 GB.  Surely a P-II that came
with an 8GB drive (with no extra jumpers) should be able to use a 1 GB
drive.  The BIOS does show the correct size for each drive, detecting
the same geometry as printed on the drive.

Thanks,

Doug.
