I couldn't agree more. I have bogofilter dealing with incoming mail to Kmail, 
and it's doing a good job. No false positives, and all the spam ends up in 
the trash. I do get a few unsures, but not many. Now and again I look through 
the trash to see what bogofilter has put there as spam, but I'm so sick at 
seeing the "get-a bigga-dick" stuff that I'm not even going to view the trash 
any more.



If anyone that I know sends me mail with a dodgy subject line/content/etc, 
then it's hard cheese. It'll go to the trash care of bogofilter.


Do you need help?X

I got so annoyed the other day, that for the first time in some months I sent 
all the spam that bogofilter had put in the trash to spamcop. There were 
about 80 spams, and for only one did spamcop say that the ISP concerned was 
going to stop spamming, and you have to take that with a pinch of salt. How 
serious were they?



I could go ranting on and on, but would be a total waste of time. It appears 
that spam will exist while the Internet exists, and we have to deal with it 
as end users. Enough said.



Nigel.

Hi,


I'm trying to install my canon pixma printer on Etch, amd64.
Unfortunately, I just can't manage to get it working... Most links I
find provide information for 32 bit systems.



1- I tried http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/, but couldn't get
any amd64 debian packet from there.



2- I downloaded driver's source from Canon, but they're 32-bit RPMs: I
don't know how to debianize them using alien. Alien doesn't want to do
it because it complains my architecture is different. So, I tried to put
all files by hand in the right directories. In the end, I couldn't get
my printer working because it complains the driver is 32-bit while my
libcups is 64 bit. I stopped there, I was too afraid I'd completely ruin
my configuration...


Do you need more help?X

3- I tried to use my printer using another driver, hopefully compatible,
and already installed with CUPS. So far, I haven't found any suitable
driver. All fail to print on my pixma ip1500.



Can somebody help me out there and tell me what are the correct steps ?
Thanks


Axelle.

Just kill the suspicious processes one by one until iceweasel can play
sound. (You might have to restart iceweasel for each new try.)



The output of



lsof -w | egrep 'snd|dsp'



might be helpful, too.

Whilst I agree with the R recommendation, the 'documentation is 
excellent' bit I strongly disagree with.  I count on one hand open 
source projects with 'excellent' documentation, although this a 
subjective subject.

I have recently been introduced to R and forced to learn it after many 
years C++, and have found the experience quite (pleasantly) eye-opening, 
but not through the documentation - rather through a colleague mentoring me.

R has huge applicability far beyond statistics, yet all the beginner 
docs I have read over-stress its (very capable) statistical 
functionality and provide only very rough guides to its expressive 
abilities and its wide applicability outside of statistics.

It might not sound like it, but this is really a strong vote for R.  I 
just think the docs are too biased towards to stats, thats all.

FWIW,

Martin

Googling for "debian-40r0-amd64-DVD-1.iso" finds a few places that list
the checksums for 4.0r0, for example:

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-cd@lists.debian.org/msg16901.html

You can compare your md5/sha1sums with the ones listed there. That is
nowhere near as good as having a signed file, but it is better than
nothing.

[...]

It does not hurt to check against the checksums on the web. One of the
DVDs might have been produced incorrectly or might have been damaged
since. (Most physical damage would probably have shown up already as a
read error when you ran md5/sha1sum, though.)

This is a minor point, but let me clarify: The "Release.gpg" file only
vouches for the content of the "Release" file and nothing else. The
Release file has the checksums for the "Packages", "Packages.gz", and
"Packages.bz2" files, which in turn list the checksums for the
individual .deb packages. You can look at all these files, they are just
(compressed) ASCII text.

Therefore it would be possible to put Release.gpg files on the CDs and
DVDs. Maybe this is not done because the security implications are
different for physical media than they are for repeatedly downloading
packages from the net.

That looks OK to me. I don't understand why you get these duplicate
entries in aptitude's interactive interface.

Well, I make some progress.
I can get stunnel to behave correctly.
but there's still not much luck with dbmail.

I can start dbmail-imapd -vn and it will start without much issue.
Except I can't connect to the port and eventually it times out and  
dbmail-imapd quits.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello;
I've installed Debian 4.1 and would like to know how to
drop out of Xwindows into a console display. It seems
to be different from distro to distro. I tried F1, F2, etc;
command F1, F2, etc;
alt F1, F2, etc
shift F1, F2, etc
control F1, F2, etc.
So what is the magic incantation on Debian?
Xwindows usually runs on tty7or  tty8 as I
recall from Mandrake and Yellow Dog. And
it is accessed via F7 or F8.

Another question, I have installed without
the installation process contacting a mirror site.
The machine is on local net and I have had
another machine function as an http proxy
but disabled the proxy function because someone
discovered I was running a proxy for outbound
net traffic and was using it to bounce request
and tie up my network connection (static ips).
So, now if I want to install software from the
cds, I assume I need a public net connection.
Is that a correct assumption? I can hook it up
to a public ip address directly just for the sake
of software installation, BUT I would rather not.

Does Debian use tcpwrappers?

Thanks in advance;
Jeff K

In X it is ctrl-alt-F?. On the consoles it is just alt-F?
X is on F7

It should be possible to make the proxy work only
for your internal network.

You can install software from the CDs without any
network at all.

I don't know if it does by default, but the package is
certainly in the repo as libwrap and tcpd.

Thanks.  I saw the X800 listed, unfortunately, ATI makes both a PCIe and an
AGP 8x version of the card.  Not sure which they used.  If you have a clue,
let me know.  I'll email them and ask too.

Java 6 is an issue unto itself.  I finally decided to move all my 
clients back to Java 5 because of too many little glitches on both 
Linux and Redmond OS.

That all my clients are non-local and I had to deal with them all one at 
a time as they downloaded it, uninstalled Java 6, then installed Java 5 
should tell you how frustrating Java 6 was that I was willing to go 
through all that to purge it.

If you report your spam emails to spamcop (www.spamcop.net) then you can
easily send notifications to owners of IP addresses from whom the spam
email originated. Doing it manually is error prone and time consuming.
Spamcop makes it automated.

Whether this kind of approach is effective or not is another question. I
personally find that reporting the spam emails is better than filtering or
deleting it.

Provided, your IP is static, simply set port forwarding in your Router so that 
ports for web/email/etc. will be forwarded to your server (at 192.168.0.102).

At FreeDNS, point the antifoo.chickenlips.com to your public IP (Router).

Well, I don't have any direct experience with PCIe, but my understanding
is that it should make no difference at all. PCIe should work just as well
as AGP. If you find anything that indicates otherwise, I would be
interested in hearing about it.
