How to port forward inside a folder ?

[J. Bakshi]

Hello,

iptables port forwarding is running fine here.

192.168.1.1:82 forwarded to 192.168.1.2:80

``
# for 82 > 80 of 192.168.1.2
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 82 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i ${LAN_IFACE} -p tcp --dport 82 -j DNAT --to 
192.168.1.2:80
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 82 -i ${LAN_IFACE} -j ACCEPT

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i ${WAN_IFACE} -p tcp --dport 82 -j DNAT --to 
192.168.1.2:80
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.1.2 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
```

How can I forward inside a folder like
192.168.1.1:82 forwarded to 192.168.1.2:80/mysite

I have modified the rules as [ --to 192.168.1.2:80/mysite ]
but no success. Am I missing anything ?

Thanks

Yes, you have missed quite a bit about how networking works. You just
can't do that with port forwarding or packet filtering. You have to do
that URL rewrite to the "folder" in your application serving on port 80,
probably Apache. iptables does not understand anything about folders.

Are you saying that if you log in by SSH then issue a command like

cp large_file4gb large_copy4gb

that even though the command produces no output you then get broken
pipe?  If so the connection is likely being terminated because it's idle
(check your internet provider).  The keepalive should prevent this.

If you log in and do a

ls -R /

do you get the output or broken pipe?  If you get broken pipe before the
command completes this again suggests (to me) that you are subject to
packet inspection.

For me, putting sshd on different ports helps here like ports 22, 81,
443, 2022, 3389 and 20222.  Some 3G providers here (UK) block port 22
altogether. One works best on port 81, on others 443 seems to work most
of the time.  Some network admins prefer to administer Windows boxes and
(thus) leave port 3389 untouched. YMMV.

Either way, in my experience broken pipe is usually a network problem.

You can't do this with iptables.

You're confusing the application layer(7) with the network layer (3).
iptables works at layer 3 and is thus not aware of filesystem folders or
web directories.

You'll need to use http redirection to accomplish what you apparently
desire above, either with an http proxy or http server.

Ok, thanks.
Then I'll do it by rewrite through .htaccess

If you have access to the web server's configuration file, put your
changes there instead.  It is better to have everything in the same
place.  Also, if you haven't already, take a look at the Rewrite Guide:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/

if i modify

Hi - entering this thread late...

I've seen that before and it took us ages to narrow down - in our case
(admittedly your case may be different), it was the combination of
network interface MTU and packet fragmentation.  Reducing the MTU on
our local network interface (on the server which runs the SSH client)
to 1450 (rather than the default 1500) solved it consistently:

   sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1450

(to make the effect permanent, tweak /etc/network/interfaces and/or
network manager config)

Unfortunately we never found the root cause of the problem: Packet
fragmentation is normally handled transparently by the TCP layer and
there were no VPNs or VLANs involved.

Hm. These commands would not use the network - unless /tmp or /media
happen to be NFS mounted, ISCSI-backed or similar - and neither
involves ssh...

Hm.. this example does not involve ssh at all!?  And (apparantly) not
network either?

That is consistent with the symptoms we saw before decreasing the MTU.

ah. I misunderstood your scenario in my previous mail... sorry.

So the ssh breakage is (somehow) triggered by moving bits around on
the remote machine only - not by moving lots of bits through the SSH
connection.

Anything in the logs on the remote machine? these files may contain relevant 
stuff:
 /var/log/syslog
 /var/log/daemon.log
 /var/log/kern.log

.. basically all of them... look for files in /var/log which were
touched around the time (or later) of the problem.

Hope this helps

Mounting local filesystem failed on boot

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

i am getting Mounting local filesystem failed on every boot. and the
problem line in fstab is "proc/proc   proc
defaults0   0"

here is my fstab

#
proc/proc   procdefaults0   0
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=42c02fba-5d23-44d6-b510-5967f61809de /   ext3
errors=remount-ro 0   1
# /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=52f78bea-8afd-4bee-a3b9-2498abceb55f /boot   ext3
defaults0   2
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation

   0   0
#/dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0


the problem line is proc mounting. when i comment this line error disappear..
i haven’t created proc partition during installation. i just created 3
 partitions boot, swap and root
However the error is gone by commenting the line but i am worried how
it going to impact my system
and what this proc mount is for. as i haven’t created it.

Thanks,

This can't be the cause. The line is correct.

"The proc file system is a pseudo-file system which is used as an
interface to kernel data structures. It is commonly mounted at /proc." -
http://linux.die.net/man/5/proc

There's an entry in fstab, when /proc is NOT on it's own partition.
You also can try


proc/proc   procnodev,noexec,nosuid 0   0


"dev / nodev
Interpret/do not interpret block special devices on the filesystem.
exec / noexec
exec lets you execute binaries that are on that partition, whereas
noexec does not let you do that. noexec might be useful for a partition
that contains no binaries, like /var, or contains binaries you do not
want to execute on your system, or that cannot even be executed on your
system. Last might be the case of a Windows partition.
suid / nosuid
Permit/Block the operation of suid, and sgid bits." -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab

Perhaps this prevents against something fishy.

Ralf

Yes, that's the problem:
1. the installed font was removed / disconfigured during the upgrade.
2. the script to reinstall the font is gone. :-(

Well, probably not:

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 0+456/600 --dpi 456 uopb8r

[Thomas H. George]

Ran a dist-upgrade, Wheezy, and now starting Calibre fails with a

I looked at the mailing list list, and debian-embedded says its for

doesn't target Debian, but VxWorks, so my gut reaction is that it would 
*not* be the proper mailing list.  But I don't know the community over

considered off topic there.

can't seem to find xorg.conf

[Michael Fothergill]

Dear folks,

Isn't xorg.conf supposed to be in /etc/X11?

I recently reinstalled squeeze on my new AMD64 box and I noticed that
the login environment in gnome looks grungier than normal - I didn't
get the cute login box and impressive pictures of the earth taken from
space followed by shots of parts of the galaxy now and again...

Gnome itself seems to be OK.

I thought maybe gdm or xorg hadn't completely installed or something
but synaptic thinks they are installed and reinstalling them didn't
seem to change much.

X is not sussing out my HW191D monitor resolution as it used to.

So I googled this and was reminded that I needed to edit the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file and put in the correct resolution which is
1440 x 900 and try again.

So I fired up a root terminal and did the following:



root@Vigor15:/home/mikef# cd /etc/X11
root@Vigor15:/etc/X11# ls -l
total 76
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 23 14:17 app-defaults

I can't see xorg.conf in there

This is a new installation.   Maybe I'm looking with my eyes shut.

Suggestions welcome.

Regards

Michael Fothergill

However, if a xorg.conf file is created and placed in /etc/X11/, the configfile 
will be loaded from there.

dhclient does not recognize config file

[Paul Zimmerman]

dhclient in Squeeze pays no attention to the config file at 
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

All I need it to do is prepend the local host to resolv.conf so dns caching 
will work. 

How do you get dhclient to do anything other than the default behavior?

Yes, that's the kind of things I have read from Canon users, at least 
when you want to get the device working in Linux and despite the good or 
bad quality of their products (which I won't comment about) the worst IMO 
is the lack/bad support from this manufacturer to Linux and for that 
reason it has been completely ditched from my list of possible candidates 
when I look for new hardware ;-(

Nah... that never works. 

By that time the samba team will have completely rewrote their smb stack 
which will be radically different from the current implementation so the 
tip you have saved as a treasure will be of no effect and you will be 
forced to ask all over again, an again, and again... that's known as "the

An interesting bug report. It appears to me you have grounds for adding
to it. First compare what is on your system with the what is mentioned
in the report. From my reading of what is said your system should not be
impacted by commenting out the proc line in fstab.

By reading the changelog of the package:

***
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/texlive-extra/texlive-extra_2011.20120424-1/changelog

* replace otf/ttf fonts with links to the files in the

It could be that commit what misconfigured the font :-?

That seems to be on purpose so there's must be a new way for doing the 
same with the new version, though I think this should be documented. Is 
there something at the docs that explains how to do this? If not, you can 
report a documentation bug.

Only the run commands? Mmm... let's back to the original error then:

***
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for uopb8r.
mktexpk: perhaps uopb8r is missing from the map file.
***

Check if what it says is true. Is the font "uopb8r" available at the 
mentioned map file?

It seems the OP has already opened a bug report for the issue (@Debian

there and also consider in adding your own comments/experience at the

Describe "grungier" (or better yet, upload a snapshot), although that

If you want to correct any aspect of your screen settings, you can use

Hello,

I am using debsums right now to check the integrity of the installed
files. However, it would be nice to verify the deb itself. I looked at
*dpkg-sig* and I think it might do the job. However, I only would like
to verify the hash and not the gpg signature of the deb file. Do you
know if this is possible with dpkg-sig? I will play around with it
tonight.

Thanks,

this is more then a treasure to me and specially when you even aware
of the problem but you are thinking in a different direction  then
tips like this are life saving   :P

 being system admin its like  " life = 24/7 tension"  you may receive
a call from your bosses at night that VPN down or any support call,
specially when your customers lives in different time zones and at the
top of them all you are the only resource who can resolve the issue.
so i am not tense at all even if it is going to happen what you have
said, then i will be saving another precious tip from some one. may
be, it could  b your tip :P

Should be:-



You'll probably get a mime type unknown error - with Iceweasel just tick
the "always use this application" (or similar) and select /usr/bin/vlc
as the handler in the pop-up dialog


Pick another handler if you prefer, mplayer should play Quicktime.
You're also missing a codecs parameter from the video tag - but doesn't
matter for local use. You'll need to modify your .htaccess if you want
to publish the tag.

Mplayer may need some tuning - it appears you have the incorrect video
output module.


Try vlc - it 'should' work out of the box (*not* the one from
debian-multimedia).



Kind regards


==

Thanks to all for your advice and help.  I still cannot get it to work.

There was an error in the statement of the  tag.  I had it as 
you suggested.


Let me try some very specific questions.

Let us assume that the file is foo.avi

1] What is the command line, using mencoder, for converting foo.avi to foo.mov.

2]  What is the command line, using mplayer, for playing foo.mov.

3] What is the HTML5  code, using with the  tag, for playing foo.mov.

4] Using the answer to #2, can we force foo.mov to be played with mplayer.
  a]I do not seem to be able to fine a mplayer plug-in.
  b]I understand that Quicktime will play foo.mov.  How do I 
force that to happen?  I have the plug-in, but seems that I cannot 
find in the preferences an option to force the Quicktime plugin.


Thanks.

Ethan

Don't panic.

If you are interested in reporting the problem, jump to a debug console 
or save the logs somewhere, then open a bug report and append the data.

If you only want to get the system installed, skip the netwok 
configuration and install the system with the CD or DVD packages. Once 
you complete the install, you can manually install the required firmware.

The command is

Look - it is 'b', not 'b1'. isofile.iso is written to the whole device,
not to a partition on it.

Put tigon_tg3.bin on the root of usb2. Make sure it is a FAT16 partition
*and* is formatted with mkfs.vfat. Only insert usb2 when the installer
asks for firmware. Write down *exactly* what it says and make a note of
*exactly* what happens.

There is another way to proceed if the firmware is not loaded but let us
see what happens first.

Fwd: Switching between modes in mutt.

[Peter Easthope]

This morning I skimmed through
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-2.html#ss2.3 .  Section 2.3
describes index mode and pager mode.  In index mode, typing a message
number opens the message in the pager.  That's the switch from index to
pager.  How is a switch from pager to index invoked?  Ie.,
when finished reading a message, how can I see the index again?

Thanks, ... P.

This depends on which distribution you are using?  Are you on
stable, testing, unstable, or something else?  If you're on
testing or unstable, this bug /should/ be fixed.  If it's what
I'm thinking it is, the mountkernfs script (and now also the
initramfs) mounts proc with the same parameters as are by
default in /etc/fstab.  If you're on testing/unstable, you
could also try initscripts/sysvinit from experimental.

The proper solution is to get debian-installer to not create
this (useless) /etc/fstab entry in the first place.

The only reason the bug is open is because I haven't had
proper confirmation it's fixed, so knowing which distribution
you're using will be important to know.

Roger

Dying Iceweasel.

[Peter Easthope]

Two systems here with current Squeeze.  One is a Compaq Armada E500; the 
other a generic desktop machine with a Foxconn board.  Try this in each. 
 In iceweasel, google "site:skype.com create account" and attempt to 
open the account creation page.  The URI is too long to mention.


In the Foxconn machine, the page opens with no problem.  In the Armada, 
the spinning animation appears for a few milliseconds and iceweasel dies 
abruptly.  In 2005 there was a thread about removing ~/.mozilla to "fix" 
a dying browser.  More recently, there was a thread including a 
suggestion to try this.


ICEWEASEL_DSP=none iceweasel

Anyone care to offer ideas about my current problem?

Thanks,   ... Peter E.

No! It is not the same. It does something completely different. It may
work but I would not recommend you use it in preference to the 'cat'
command. Putting an iso on a USB device in Debian is best done with the
'cat' command. UNetbootin may be a fine program but it is unsuited to
deal with Debian installer images. Its use should be discouraged for
this.

Sorry, I do not know. I've never used it. It sounds like it will create
a FAT16 partition but the partition must still be formatted as vfat. I'd
use

   mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1

where X is a, b, or c or whatever.

dear camaleon,

after all I have read now  I should have bought another printer if this one 
was not given to me. we got a dutch proverb that says: 'do not look a given 
horse into the mouth'. so: i will try out this machine whatever happens. i see 
it as a challenge. if it does not work i buy myself a decent hp-printer with 
the proverbial (?) good support.


 thank you and all others for your kind and interested reactions. so now i go

I always avoid Canon devices as much as I can but if there's no

I'm not very happy with my MP-240:

1) [Binary only :(] drivers don't install cleanly on my amd64 system,
and hacks / tweaks (don't remember exact details) were necessary.

2) Drivers don't expose the printer's full functionality - incredibly
annoyingly, there's apparently no way to direct the thing to print b/w
instead of color (which is easily done with this same machine when
driven from a Windows box).

3) Printing is often poor quality and unreliable: paper jams, extra
sheets feeding through, paper jams, text not getting printed or printed
barely legibly, as if faded. Some of this could just be the age of the
machine or ink cartridges, but I'm pretty sure the other user of the
machine, with a Windows box, does not see this.


Yes, that's the kind of things I have read from Canon users, at least
when you want to get the device working in Linux and despite the good or
bad quality of their products (which I won't comment about) the worst IMO
is the lack/bad support from this manufacturer to Linux and for that
reason it has been completely ditched from my list of possible candidates
when I look for new hardware ;-(

glibc2-14

[Shane Johnson]

I have just run into a issue where the driver for a ASPEED video card
worked in wheezy, and now is complaining about glibc not being at 2.14.
 When I look to see the version installed, it is 2.13.  Does anyone know if
there was a reversion or how I might go about resolving this?

Thanks

Word Perfect 5.1 under Free Dos

[Charles Kroeger]

Is this possible now? 

Installing Free Dos loading in a copy of Word Perfect 5.1
that can also use the system printer under CUPS?

Is this hopeless?

Ah! A true believer!

IMHO think WPDOS  to work with CUPS is more trouble than it's worth. The
following page suggests that WPDOS gives you the option to print to a
postscript file. If your printer understands postscript (and I think
almost all of them do at this point?) you can print the resulting
postcript file using lpr.

You can certainly drive the system printer using DOSEMU.  However,
how well this will work depends on what type of printer you're
using.  If you're using a printer supported natively by WordPerfect,
then you can just get DOSEMU to run "lpr -oraw" and it will get
passed through without any processing, and behave pretty much as if
it was hooked up directly to the parallel port (albeit without direct
parallel port access--it's faked by the emulator).  However, if you
have a modern printer which needs special CUPS drivers, which can't be
driven by WordPerfect directly, you'll basically need to see if you
can find a PostScript printer driver for WordPerfect to use--then it
will send the PostScript directly to CUPS, which CUPS will happily
print one any type of printer.  You might need to fiddle with
timeouts--DOSEMU can't always tell when jobs end, so it ends the job
after a delay.

WRT WordPerfect itself, can't see why it wouldn't work; I've run
plenty of software in DOSEMU without trouble.  If FreeDOS doesn't
work, then try a copy of "real" MS-DOS, PC-DOS or DR-DOS.

Roger

Rebooting does a pretty good job of restarting all programs, including daemons.

This is an ongoing problem through days or use, so yes, it gets restarted often.

Yes, that's what I tried first. It has absolutely no effect. Then I created 
some specific
"interface" entries. Since it left error messages in the log when I made 
mistakes, it
is clearly reading the config file.

No, but I do use wicd. Does that write resolv.conf too? Avahi was running on 
the system, 

but I removed it. Also checked for resolvconf and it doesn't show as installed 
even though 

there is a resolvconf directory. Is there anything else that might be 
over-writing the file?

How to get new RSA key in known_hosts file?

[Marc Shapiro]

I recently had to reinstall Squeeze on my desktop box due to hard disk
issues.  On reinstalling OpenSSH a new key was generated.  Now, when I
try to connect from my laptop I get the following message:

@@@
@WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@

Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

Googling for how to update my known_hosts file turned up this suggestion:

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no yourserver

I tried this (obviously replacing "yourserver" with the name of my
desktop box to which I am trying to connect).  This resulted in the
following, similar, but not quite the same message:

Should be:-



You'll probably get a mime type unknown error - with Iceweasel just tick
the "always use this application" (or similar) and select /usr/bin/vlc
as the handler in the pop-up dialog


Pick another handler if you prefer, mplayer should play Quicktime.
You're also missing a codecs parameter from the video tag - but doesn't
matter for local use. You'll need to modify your .htaccess if you want
to publish the tag.

Mplayer may need some tuning - it appears you have the incorrect video
output module.


Try vlc - it 'should' work out of the box (*not* the one from
debian-multimedia).



Kind regards

Thanks to all for your advice and help.  I still cannot get it to work.

There was an error in the statement of the  tag.  I had it as 
you suggested.


Let me try some very specific questions.

Let us assume that the file is foo.avi

1] What is the command line, using mencoder, for converting foo.avi to foo.mov.

2]  What is the command line, using mplayer, for playing foo.mov.

3] What is the HTML5  code, using with the  tag, for playing foo.mov.

4] Using the answer to #2, can we force foo.mov to be played with mplayer.
  a]I do not seem to be able to fine a mplayer plug-in.
  b]I understand that Quicktime will play foo.mov.  How do I 
force that to happen?  I have the plug-in, but seems that I cannot 
find in the preferences an option to force the Quicktime plugin.


Thanks.

Ethan

That got me connected, after answering 'yes' to a few prompts, but...
When I now try to connect, I get the following:

Try changing the video output module in mplayer - sorry I can't give you
more help, but you're dealing with an application I don't install.

I suggest you confirm that your .mov movie is valid before spending time
trying to put the video into a web page (and to stream it you'll need to
provide codec information, and change the src=file:///)

I tested (the tag) with a known working .mov file.

No idea - I use WinFF (from debian-multimedia, uses ffmpeg) for that.
(presuming you understand difference between container and codec)

Feeding your question into a search engine yields:-
$ for fl in YOURMOVFILE.MOV
 do
   mencoder ${fl} -o ${fl/mov/avi} -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc
   mplayer -ao pcm -vo null -vc dummy -dumpaudio -dumpfile ${fl/mov/mp3}
${fl/mov/avi}
   #rm ${fl/mov/avi}
 done

No idea.
Seriously - I don't have it installed (vlc works fine).

> foo.mov.

I suspect you misunderstand the difference between legal use of the tag
(what you have) and support for your use of the tag (which you won't
get). As yet the tag is not widely supported - it won't work with Safari
3.1.2 (under WINE).

You can test for support by seeing if a browser will render text between
the video tags. eg.

http://http.cdnlayer.com/itke/blogs.dir/36/files/2012/01/chuck-norris-thumb.jpg";>
http://*.*.*.*.*.*/uploads/files/419ScammerScammedByChuckNorris.mov"; 
type="video/mov"/>
  If you can read this then your browser does not support the video tag.


NOTE: the above tag has been tested, with the correct IP address, but it
still requires the client to configure the application association -
less than ideal.

> 
> 4] Using the answer to #2, can we force foo.mov to be played with
> mplayer.

No.

*If* mplayer will play your .mov file then you just need to set that as
a mime type association. (command line doesn't come into it)

 ie. video/mov is the mimetype you need to register (locally)
 and mov => mplayer is the association you need to register (locally).


Perhaps if you explained what you want to do?

While it's possible to use the video tag to display a mov file most
people won't go to the trouble of configuring their browser to display
it - and it (as it stands) won't stream so people will have to wait for
the whole movie to download before viewing it.  Note that the "poster"
parameter will give people something to look at while they wait, but
it's less than ideal.

> a]I do not seem to be able to find a mplayer plug-in.

I don't believe it needs one - but I'm not a mplayer user.

> b]I understand that Quicktime will play foo.mov.

I would hope so - it *is* a quicktime format. ;-p

What plug-in?

I'm vaguely aware of a Helix/RealPlayer Quicktime associatio

$ nano .ssh/known_hosts
and delete the first line (they're numbered starting with 1).

That's it.

Marc has previously connected to a given address and stored a key.

That address now has another key - the correct (IMO) approach is to
delete the old key for that address (remove the 1st entry in
~/.ssh/known_hosts.

i.e. change the key stored for *that* computer.

You've asked him to change *his* key which will have no effect on the
problem (the machine he's connecting to still has a new key that differs
from the one he has stored).

So there was a bug in January? It was solved? And appears now again? :(

You should file a bug report.

I'll be glad to report back but first a little help:

I take it this isn't about using DOSMU but a virtual machine with a FAT16 file
system like going back to 1987. How can I do that?

i am not sure if it is a bug or my mistake as i am new to linux. i
think i should verify at my end first instead of reporting false bug
