Apple is intentionally rendering hacked iphones useless. If this isn't an argument for open standards in lieu of monopolistic abuse I don't know what is.

Altered iPhones Freeze Up

Published: September 29, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28 — Since the iPhone hit the market in June, tech-savvy owners of the phone have been busy messing with its insides, figuring out how to add unauthorized software and even “unlock” it for use on networks other than AT&T’s.

Since Monday, Apple has been warning iPhone owners that using unlocking software could damage the phone.

Just a heads-up, that event number could easily change from boot to boot.
You can preserve your sanity by making a udev rule like the following and
put it (or a symlink) in "/etc/udev/rules.d/"

KERNEL=="event[0-9]", ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR *", SYMLINK+="lirc%n"

I *think* that rule should work for you Hauppauge card, but I'm making an
educated guess on the 'ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR *"' bit.

Hi community (sorry for the OT)
I keep trying in order to radius authenticate and authorize users from XP. I
have a very simple configuration, only a "plain user". Please bear in mind
that I've just read
http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_Wiki:FAQ#PEAP_or_EAP-TLS_Doesn.27t_Work_with_a_Windows_machine.
I've put xpextensions file in the same directory that openssl.cnf.
I've imported cacert.pem both Windows XP and Linux too. (Linux is an Ubuntu
7.04)

I feel like a fool because I can't solve this problem being and server so easy
to configure it... I've even read some RFC, but I couldn't find the problem

The Access Point es a Linksys WAP54G.

Please could you help me?

While copying 30MB of text from a backuppc (web-based) log on a remote server, I
ran into several problems:

1) Selecting the text using the Iceape edit->select-all menu option pegs the
2.8GB CPU at 100% for tens of seconds, although it is much faster in subsequent
attempts.

2) Each repetition causes two 60MB clipboard cache files to appear in /tmp.
They persist after logging out of Gnome.

2) Pasting the text into kedit, or cutting it, pegs the CPU from 10s of seconds
to a few minutes, and virtual memory usage approaches 2GB, increasing each time
I repeat the operation. (I stop before 2G only to avoid swapping. I have no
evidence that the leak is bounded.)

Since I am aware of the clipboard files I probably could probably safely delete

My webhost is testing Roundcube and asked me to try it out. I took a
quick look:

I would say it is still in alpha stages because of various
inconsistencies in features. E.g. if you delete an email using the "Send
to Trash" button it ended up in the Trash only a few times while all
other times it just disappeared! The AJAXified(hence needs Javascript)

Hi!
I'm trying to set up a mailserver on Debian etch for the first time, but
I have a problem: every time I restart postfix I get this message:

/usr/sbin/postconf: /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2: no version information
available (required by /usr/sbin/postconf)

Any idea on how can I fix it? I can't use SASL...

TIA

This was discussed in this list some time ago. JW Stumpel pointed to
his site explaining how to do it: "Configuring xterm for UTF-8".

http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/xterm.html

In short, you need to install xfonts-efont-unicode and configure
~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults.

I've been happily running xterm with unicode characters (using fluxbox)
ever since, including the Euro symbol.

Hi all,

I have a problem with an old desktop running etch. Before it was
running XP + etch dual boot. But recently I have deleted the whole XP
partition. Now the problem is I started running out of space for the
etch. I want to resize the partition so that I can install more
programs and stuff like that. The current partition is like

hda1 - 5G (before running XP)
hda2 - 1G ( etch is living here)

So I'd like to resize hda2 but I can't as it said I need to unmount
hda2 before resizing. People suggest using a live CD but it's not
possible with my old laptop (I didn't even install etch using CD, I
can only install etch via goodbyemicrosoft.com). USB boot is also not
available.

Any suggestion would be welcome. What I want to do is to be able to

When I first installed Debian, gdm worked like it should, but after
doing a dist-upgrade, it comes up looking garbled. I can fix this
problem temporarily by going to a console and restarting gdm. I'm pretty
sure it's a configuration issue but I don't know enough about X11 to be
able to tell, Where do I go from here?

Thank you for your consideration.

duh!

My x freezes on start after I installed etch and I want to use
xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlitlty? I cannot
work out what package its in.

Also, in the debian reference manual, at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-xsrvr, it
refers to xserver-common-v3 (I think I need this as I have an old matrox
card)- I can find no such package in etch - is the ref manual out of
date or something? Surely not?

Thanks for any help,

Martin

Hi,

I recently noticed weird behaviour with my USB memorystick. This is on
AMD64 unstable, with:

linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64
udev 0.114-2

I have defined the following udev rule:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="13e0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2517", KERNEL=="sd*",
SYMLINK+="usb/stick%n", OPTIONS+="all_partitions"

The memorystick has one primary partition (vfat).

When the stick is inserted while booting, udev correctly creates the
desired symlinks:

# ls -l /dev/usb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-09-30 17:30 stick -> ../sda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-09-30 17:30 stick1 -> ../sda1

However, when I insert the same memorystick after the computer is booted, only
the symlink to /dev/sda is created.

Also, the kernel messages are quit different in these two cases.

I realise there are no realtime patched kernels on the main debian repo's, and
have been googling a bit, and found this.

http://pkg-freebob.alioth.debian.org/lowlat.html

It says to add the line below to /etc/apt/sources.list, but after running
apt-get update, and opening synaptic, I can't find a source pkg for the
2.6.21 kernel.

deb http://pkg-freebob.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main

The only 2.6.21 kernel there appears to be a realtime patched one, but is a k7
one. As my machine uses a 1.3GHz celeron, I don't suppose this is going to
work, is it?
linux-image-2.6.21-2-k7rt8

Anyone any suggestions to get realtime working, if the above kernel is a no
goer?

The problem I have is that when starting jackd there are loads of xruns

I've read many forums and threads in debian lists, but no solution worked to me.

I've downloaded and unpacked to /opt the jdk1.5.0_12
I didn't used apt-get because I need this specific version.


Then, I need to set java environment variables globally
And include /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin to PATH

I inserted in /etc/bash.bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin

it works to all terminals, but don't to X11

for example: I can't start Azureus from menu link

Then I tried /etc/profile
but it didn't work either

thanks,

Hi list !
I am running Etch on a quite old Thinkpad laptop which
had not been connected to internet for over two weeks.
Before this I had experienced no problems using
apt-get update. When I tried it yesterday night, here
is what I got :
Get:1 http://security.debian.org etch/updates
Release.gpg [189B]
Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release

There is a log of this going around on Sid:

Any fix?

Hi!

I am running etch in a machine with two HDs. Etch is running in the
master HD (hdc), the second HD (hdd), the slave, is empty. In the second
hd (hdd) I need to install windows xp. I wonder how to do that in order
to get a dual boot system, managed by grub. The bios let me define the
HD from which the system boots. Now the bios is configured to boot from
hdc, where etch (and grub) resides: hdc-hdd. Due that during the install
of xp the system re-boots several times from the HD, I wonder if I can
install xp on hdd simply inverting the boot sequence: hdd-hdc, and,
after the installation of xp, inverting the sequence again: hdc-hdd, in
order to boot with grub.

If it is possible, I guess I still need to tell grub that there is
another OS in the system. How can I do that?

My ISP does not provide DHCP, so I configured network manually, all data I
got from windows by ipconfig /all
command.

I left http proxy field empty, my LAN uses http proxy but internet
connection does not so I supposed I do not need it.

However during installation, "configuring APT - scanning the mirror" phase
does not work out, whatever mirror I choose.

My internet is through pppoe, but at no point netinstall asks
login and parol. So apparently I should install just base system, then
configure pppoe and then go on with apt-get.

Here I found old tutorial for Sarge, according to which pppoeconfig should
be in the base system:
http://www.debiantutorials.org/content/view/6/234/

However there is no pppoeconfig in my base system!

Hi *,
it's some time now (I can't say how long) that I have a "little" problem on my
Debian (it's an unstable box). What happens is that at every boot the netmask
of my eth0 is reset, so I can't connect.

This is /etc/network/interfaces:

---8<---
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
gateway 192.168.1.1
metric 1
address 192.168.1.36
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
---8<---

Here's what appears when the computer has just booted:

# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:DE:AD:DE:AD:00
inet addr:192.168.1.36 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.255
