ion2 + x2vnc + multiple workspaces = possible?
Hi, I just started using ion2 on my home laptop. I would also like to be able to use it at work while using x2vnc to connect to my windows box which I am forced to also use. I can't stand working in just one workspace, so I usually have about three workspaces minimum at all times to separate my shells, firefox instances, cplay window, etc.. But it looks like when I start an instance of x2vnc in workspace one, and then i switch to workspace two, my mouse and keyboard movements are not passed over to my windows box, it effectively doesnt "see" x2vnc running in any other instances than the one it was started in. I do not know if there is a way to share this x2vnc session over all workspaces, or if this is an inherit limitation in design, in that all workspaces are separate entities and cannot share this type of information. Anyone else encounter this and know if there is a solution? Thanks, Stefhen

I currently login to my linux box which is is running metacity. I then start x2vnc which connects my currently logged in X11 session to my windows box. I have a tightvnc server listening on my windows box, that way I can connect my currently logged in X session on my linux box to the actual logged in windows session which I can view on my second monitor with one keyboard and mouse. This works great with metacity, but I would like to switch to ion. But when I go to create a second workspace with "alt-f9", and I switch to that second workspace, I can no longer move my mouse off of the side of the screen to my windows box when I am in that second workspace. I have to switch back to the first workspace where I started the x2vnc session to get back to my windows box again. I do not know if these workspaces are totally independent of one another and I cannot share the x2vnc programs forwarding capability, or if there is just a configuration variable I need to change that I am not aware about. I do not know if this is the same thing as switching between my 4 virtual terminals in my gnome session or not, when I create another workspace, because I can use one x2vnc session over all 4 virtual terminals in metacity, but not on different workspaces in ion. This is what I am trying to figure out how to fix. Hope this helps. Stefhen
How come packages dont have a homepage field?
I dont know if this has been asked before, but one thing I notice which is missing from .deb's is a field for a package's homepage URL. This was a nice thing with gentoo ebuilds, in that there was a homepage field for each package, so it was nice and easy for me to cut and paste to firefox and check out the homepage of a package I was interested in. I know most will say just google for the answer and you will probably find the project's homepage pretty quickly, but this still very handy, plus I could be sure I was going to the correct project homepage. Does anyone know why this is missing from Debian? I am sure about 99% of packages out there have a homepage, and if there are any that don't I am sure they will have a generic entry on freshmeat.net/packagename which could be listed. Sure most of the packages will end up being packagename.sourceforge.net, but this would still be helpful. Any thoughts? Stefhen

tune linux ip stack?
Does anyone have any tips or relevant links for tuning the Linux IP stack? About the only url I have found is: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/tcptune/ About the only thing I have found to change in this link above were: echo 8388608 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max echo 8388608 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max echo "4096 87380 4194304" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem echo "4096 65536 4194304" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem I am still recieving suboptimal usenet downloads from news.giganews.com even after the 4mbps Comcast speed upgrade my city went through a couple of months ago, and I am wanting to know if there are any other tunable parameters I should look into which could be affecting my download speed. Any suggestions? Thanks, Stefhen

Well, um, I used to be able to download pr0n at 400KB/s before the comcast 4megabit speed for a good solid year and a half, and now since the upgrade my speeds seem to be limited to ~200KB/s. Nothing else on my end has changed, and also since my pingtimes have been consistently around 30-50ms to the giganews server since I got the internet connection, plus I am only about 10 hops away I am pretty sure it is not a bottleneck somewhere out of my control.

Actually I did ask them this via their giganews.general newsgroup and one of the staff members stated that they do not do any type of rate limiting on any accounts, so that I believe shouldn't be the issue. I also was wondering that myself..

Uhm... beyond that though, no clue. Sorry. :( > Thats ok...I am waiting to get a call back from a tier2 comcast person today or tomorrow to see if they can tell me anything useful. I am thinking since the speed upgrade they probably re ip'd my subnet and now whatever network segment I'm now on has more traffic, which is making my net connection slower than it used to be.
can pbzip2 run on stdout?
Is this possible for pbzip2 to run on a tar which outputs to standard out? I am trying to speed up a backup process which takes hours, i have about 100g of uncompressed data which will be tar'd up and is currently running thru gzip. This will be running on a 16 cpu box which would greatly speedup this issue. from: tar cf - . | gzip > /tmp/file.tar.gz to: tar cf - . | pbzip2 > /tmp/file.tar.bz2 This doesnt seem to work, is it because there is no way to split the stdio to multiple processors on the fly? Thanks for your help, I'm not subscribed to the list so if you could cc: me in addition to the list that would be great.

i think ifrename will do what you are asking, you can specify that eth0 always be bound to x, and eth1 always bound to y, etc.. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/ifrename stefhen On 12/29/05, Svante Signell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > With the new way of device creation and module loading (udev, discover > etc) my ethernet modules (3c59x,8139too) are loaded in different order > with kernels 2.6.12 and 2.6.14.

Audio / Video catalog program?
Hi, I am wondering if there are any good audio / video cataloging programs for linux, I would like to catalog all of my 12" records, CD's, DVD's and mp3's on cdrom. Mainly interested in: 1] Being able to log all information into a mysql database. 2] Possible FreeDB support as to save me typing for all of my audio cd's 3] Possible support to export contents to the web in a table format (if not I can do this myself with the mysql db dumps and some perl). 4] Random filename indexing, kind of like http://freshmeat.net/discdb 5] Hopefully available as a Debian package. Any suggestions? Thanks, Stefhen

Re: image viewer which supports auto-refresn and partial images?
Feh should be what you are looking for, it is command line based and full featured. http://linuxbrit.co.uk/feh/wiki/FehFeatures http://packages.debian.org/feh [1] Yes. [2] I think so. [3] Yes:"feh -R 1 " Reloads image every 1 second [4] I think so. Thanks, Stefhen
Exim ignoring aliases, relaying email to incorrect addresses.
Hi, I have successfully setup my debian box to send email to my gmail account, but it is not expanding aliases correctly, and it is sending email to the wrong [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to have any email sent to just "root" or my local login account via cron, logwatch, etc, automatically forwarded to my gmail account, but exim is forwarding my email to myself, and then also it looks like to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED], which are my unexpanded userid's on my debian box.
