Layer 4 switch from IPtables - setup for transparent proxy
by hanasaki 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

Any way to use IP tables and squid for a transparent proxy but only for http. Basically, the setup for squid and a transparent proxy results in ALL traffic for a given port (usually 80) going to squid to be proxied. I am looking for a way to take any http traffic coming in on Any port and send it to squid. Thus http traffic on port 80 or 22 would go to squid while port 22 ssh traffic would be unaffected.

RE: Screen Goes Black after running Xserver

>From the Mepis.org site. They have seen ATI problems too. I don't remember seeing from you that you definitely had an ATI or a Intel i810, but here you go. Was a Mepis and a Debian problem with an official ATI driver. <block quote> 5. ATI card may not be allowing users to power off their machines or switch users properly. This seems to only be a problem after installing the official ATI driver. This has not been found to be a problem with the free xorg driver. We have included a new version of te driver in this release and we dont know what is causing the issue. It could be anything from the new driver having a bug or how MEPIS has compiled the kernel module and included everything. *UPDATE* The version of the ATI fglrx driver that we were using had this symptom as a known issue. After finding this we found that Norbert Tretkowski of Debian has patched the ATI driver to fix this problem. We have tested this in house and it appears to have successfully fixed the problem. Thanks to Norbert for getting this to work.

Screen Goes Black after running Xserver
by Linux Rocks 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hello Everyone; I have a problem running Debian on a Acer TravelMate 260 laptop: The system boots up and I can login in the command prompt and change to different screens (ctrl-alt-f1 to f7). But, Once I startx I CANNOT change screens. I know I can "kill" X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace but when I do this the monitor just goes black and I cannot do anything else. The only choice I have here is to ctrl alt del and restart the system. I've done some searches in google but no help. I am running: kernel 2.6.15 on a Acer TravelMate 260 Laptop; 1Ghz over 200 Meg of ram Debian 3.0 Thanks in advance for your help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

pros/cons of running services from inetd vs standalone daemons
by hanasaki 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Any opinions on the reasons to run services from inetd vs leaving them running as daemons? The main thing that comes to mind is for busy services like an MTA/email or Samba there is less overhead because there aren't alot of processes being spawned / forked.

Disappointed in Google
by Nick Manley 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

Is anyone else really disappointed in Google recently? Do no evil my ass. Don't get me wrong, I love Google (or used to anyway, I'm on the fence now) but this Google Pack <http://pack.google.com/> stuff is really pathetic. Norton and RealPlayer?! I would only put that on the system of my worst enemy. I do realize Google is getting paid for this service by some of these companies but does that really fit the "do no evil" slogan? That's not the only thing. Its a mass of things that Google has done wrong and this one finally sent me over the edge. As you can see I use gmail despite it being sub par compared to other free services and now executable are blocked in email attachments. Thanks Google. It's nice that you are trying to protect the newbies but at the very least give me the option to disable it. It is MY email! Development has been crappy to say the least. I still remember reading an article on Google Rumors <http://www.googlerumors.com/>about the possibility of a calendar. Still isn't here. I am not saying that I am completely expected one since it was never official and that Google is a free service that I am not paying for, thus they can provide what they want, but its been a while since Google has done anything worth while for their users. I realize this is a Linux mailing list and that most of Google's software is for Windows XP but I still want to hear your opinion on the matter. Is this the beginning of the end? Is Google finally following in the footsteps of their older brothers and becoming corrupt? Ok ok... Maybe I am looking into it too much, but it just seems lacking. Google is still good in other areas though. There support for open source and the summer of code project is a great idea! I feel that Google should set sights on doing a service and doing it well. There search is second to none. For the other stuff.... well, a little more time creating a quality product would do them and everyone else a lot better instead of trying to move on to other projects. Am I going overboard or ranting to much or do you agree with me. So many intelligent computer users (read slashdotters) have built up Google to be a god and to some it would seem sinful to bash Google in any light. Any thoughts?

RE: Anonym.OS LiveCD

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/anonym-os/anonymos-shmoo.iso?download So have you got it yet? I'm getting it now. I'd like to see what they consider easy for the average user. I like that they strive towards that, but I like options to be available to the average or above average geek who wants to do more. Most LiveCDs end up in this situation and come up with some sort of modules or a fork of project. In any case it is nice to have good average default options for a user's first time with a thing like this, rather than mysterious, cryptic, bad or no default options. -----Original Message----- From: On Behalf Of Leo Mauler Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 1:55 AM I apologize if this is old news, but I found an OpenBSD LiveCD called Anonym.OS which, when you boot it up on your PC, promises some level of anonymity over the Internet.

Since, a non-subscriber would not see the reply if it was only sent to the list. This is a closed, subscriber only list though. There's no reason to even send the message to the users e-mail. A "reply to all" the original poster gets the message twice. That of course is not what I'm asking. Leave the user's email or don't, i just want the list's email listed first. > I aggree, it seems silly for any mailing list would not have thigns > setup that way.

Anyone have a spare machine?
by Arthur Pemberton 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

I would like to do testing for Fedora, but do not have the spare machine which I had anticipated. So I just thought I would ask the lis if anyone has a spare machine they are willing to give up or sell for a small price to do testing. Thank you. -- As a boy I jumped through Windows, as a man I play with Penguins.
