Alternate docking station for the Dell Precision M3800? (Re: The Dell Precision M3800 Laptop)
The computer shop which suggested to me the Dell Precision M3800 laptop suggests that the E-port with 210W adapter (http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=my&l=en&s=dhs&cs=mydhs1&sku=450-14000) be used with the laptop. I googled for Linux support for this adapter, but found no information. About using 3 displays with the laptop (2 + laptop's own, or 3 external), it seems to be possible according to: http://superuser.com/questions/369488/will-the-e-port-plus-laptop-docking-station-allow-me-to-use-three-viewports-moni Does anyone have experience using it with Linux? BTW there is another model with confusingly similar name and more connections: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&sku=430-3312&s=bsd).

Testing my network for vulnerabilities
I would like to tighten my internal network security and to protect against rouge computers on my LAN. Anybody knows of a good tool to scan my network for vulnerabilities ? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

use Kali Linux which come preloaded with many security tools, and check out OpenVAS. -- Rabin On 24 December 2015 at 12:21, Erez D wrote: > I would like to tighten my internal network security and to protect > against rouge computers on my LAN. > > Anybody knows of a good tool to scan my network for vulnerabilities ? > > ___ > Linux-il mailing list > Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il > > ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
OT: Android Marshmallow and contacts
Hi I posted this to the Android list, but I don't think anybody reads it... Anyway, I got an update to Android 6.0 on my Moto X. I was really looking forward to this, but it seems that something is broken with the caller ID. After going through a few forums it turns out that there is some discrepancy between how the numbers are stored in Contacts (only local area codes) and how the Phone app is searching for numbers (with an international dialing code +972). It could be that the service provider (Golan, in my case) is contributing to this confusion. There are a few workarounds, including creating duplicate copies of all numbers with/without international number, deleting and restoring all contacts and rewriting all contacts. None of those appeal to me, for the simple reason that they are only workarounds and don't provide a solution to the underlying problem. Had anybody encountered this problem? Has this issue been raised to Golan? Google? Does anybody know of a solution? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: How to search Linux Kernel changelogs? (USB disconnect problem)
As it turned out, it did not matter that I misunderstood tlp's name. The package tlp exists only in Debian Stretch (testing) and in Debian Sid (unstable), and my PC runs on Debian Jessie, so there is no tlp in my near future.

Re: OT: Android Marshmallow and contacts
If you are using Google app then clear cache and data of its contacts app, using application manager under settings. Actually it'll be useful for any app. Now, If your are using a proprietary Moto app, It just might be that its local storage is corrupted. In that case, make a backup before clearing data.

Unless it has dependencies that force you 'onward' there is no reason not to download the deb and install it manually 2015-12-24 20:14 GMT+02:00 Omer Zak : > As it turned out, it did not matter that I misunderstood tlp's name. > The package tlp exists only in Debian Stretch (testing) and in Debian > Sid (unstable), and my PC runs on Debian Jessie, so there is no tlp in > my near future. > > On Wed, 2015-12-23 at 09:32 +, Daniel Shahaf wrote: >> Omer Zak wrote on Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 13:54:50 +0200: >> > At your hint, I have installed powertop. >> > I did not find a tip in Debian, but there is a tiptop command in my >> > system. >> >> Rabin wrote "tlp" with an 'L', not "tip" with an 'I'. >> >> Daniel >> >> > How can they help me diagnose USB problems? >> > >> > >> > On Mon, 2015-12-21 at 13:35 +0200, Rabin Yasharzadehe wrote: >> > > do you install/use powertop or tlp ? > > -- > Did you shave a yak today? > My own blog is at http://www.zak.co.il/tddpirate/ > > My opinions, as expressed in this E-mail message, are mine alone. > They do not represent the official policy of any organization with which > I may be affiliated in any way. > WARNING TO SPAMMERS: at http://www.zak.co.il/spamwarning.html > > > ___ > Linux-il mailing list > Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: OT: Android Marshmallow and contacts
That was one of the less destructive workarounds that I had found, and tried. It didn't work. I cleared the cache and data of both the Contacts app and the Google app. And yes, they are stock Google apps. If you are using Google app then clear cache and data of its contacts app, using application manager under settings. Actually it'll be useful for any app. Now, If your are using a proprietary Moto app, It just might be that its local storage is corrupted. In that case, make a backup before clearing data.
