Re: very slow Xorg and/or bash

Hi, I think you are looking for the answer in the wrong place. Remember that Xorg is totally network aware. When it starts up, it checks your hostname and resolv.conf file. A bad configuration of these two will slow Xorg down considerably. The reason I say this is because very recently (last wee

USB storage exposes two superfloppy devices in Ubuntu, but Debian testing won't recognize it.

Hello all, I have a YP-GS1 Samsung Galaxy player that I'm trying to uses as usb-storage in Debian testing, but I plug it in and don't get any of the device files or partitions detected. In Ubuntu, where it does work, this is some info: $ dmesg |tail [173296.103783] sd 7:0:0:1: [sdd] 15556608 512

Sounds like what you really want is for your local nameserver to forward the query if it doesn't have the answer. It might be helpful to look at the forwarders option for named.conf. resolv.conf would just need your local name server then. Pat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ..

Using mutt this morning, I was informed that my postfix certificate had expired a few days ago. I made a new one with: openssl req -new -outform PEM -out smtpd.cert -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout smtpd.key -keyform PEM -days 365 -x509 I'm fairly certain this is precisely how I did it a year ag

Re: 3.13 Kernel

When the 3.13.0 was out, some problems with filesystems seems to get in[0]. But in general I don't see any improvement, I run VMs and heavy things and it still seems as long as usual :) So it might be a very subjective impression ;) If you want, you should make some benchmarks to get more formal

Looking at those files makes me think of a possible installation error: that one or more partitions on the old install were used and mounted "without reformatting" for the new install. Is there a timestamp check that could be performed (install time/date for the file, rather than the datetime

My guess is that this situation is the result of invoking: dpkg -X *deb / or, simply unpacking a tarball into /. But your guess is as good as mine. The only package I installed via dpkg was youtube-dl, as I couldn't get it by invoking apt-get install (and I still can't). I downloaded it fro

Please note the difference between *are/is* installed, and *were* installed. I would expect dpkg -S to fail if those packages had been wrongly removed (corrupting dpkg database) but the pam and man files are extremely unlikely to be the result of malware. The OP never responded to my query about

By the way, do not have sshd installed (and there is no /usr/sbin/sshd). I mentioned sshd as an example. There are plenty of ways to do remote connection to the host (telnet, VNC, XDMCP), all of them can be used for the root access. Just to be on a safe side, scan your host with 'nmap -sT -sU
