iptables entry

alex — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 03:45:00 +0100

Just wanted to comment for anybody having problems on this step:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Your error will probably be something about iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. or iptables: Unknown error 4294967295.

The solution is to simply use this line instead:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o venet0 -j SNAT --to x.x.x.x
replacing venet0 with your interface and x.x.x.x with your servers external IP address.

Btw, happy holidays :)

Don't download the linked

Don't download the linked script itself, but use git clone to get the full repo. Otherwise the patches will be missing, resulting in this error.

I prefer sim city 2000's

Anonymous — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:31:00 +0200

I prefer sim city 2000's graphics. But Lincity looks horribly ugly to me. I wish somebody would try to make a good open source game that looks and plays like sim city 2000 without lazy soul-less traced 3d graphics that seem to pollute open source building type games. Bring back pixel art.

fw_laptop on servers

Uwe Hermann — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:05:24 +0200

I'm using fw_laptop on various servers too, I just hand-edit it a bit to allow access to services I want to run, and forbid everything else.

Just be careful not to disable ssh on remote servers, otherwise you could have a problem.

Server firewall

Anonymous — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 04:41:00 +0200

Do you plan on posting an example of the firewall you use on the server? I see the laptop/desktop, but not the server one.
Thanks!

Sure, no problem. Please go ahead.

Hi,

It's also possible to dump the repository into portable format and recover it.

I used this to relocate repositories from RHEL4 to RHEL5 where the bdb format had changed.

svnadmin dump repos >repos.dump
mv repos repos.old
# copy repos.dump to the new host, and continue there...
svnadmin create repos
svnadmin load repos

Kernel routing table and intefaces to get this to work

Bertil — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:01:00 +0200

Thanks a lot Uwe,
finally the Telia E1750 modem is up on my Debian Squeeze/LXDE laptop (EEEPC 1000HE) and with usb-modeswith 1.2.3. (no configuration needed!)
To share my working configuration:
My 'wvdial.conf' (and I didn't need the PIN, since it is deactivated with the supplied Telia Windows dial-up utility), but the username/password is required. When playing with the PIN I had some difficulties with the wvdial.conf until I removed all whitespace like so 'Init1=AT+CPIN=XXXX'

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0
Baud=460800
[Dialer pin]
Init1=AT+CPIN=XXXX
[Dialer telia]
Phone=*99#
Username=**********
Password=**************
Stupid Mode=1
Dial Command=ATDT
Init2=ATZ
Init3=AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","online.telia.se"

In my /etc/network/interfaces I addeed the ppp0 stanza:
# The primary PPP device
iface ppp0 inet wvdial

To ensure that the routing table default to the ppp0 and not the wired eth0 interface I wrote a small shell script in /usr/local/bin/
#
# Telia Mobile Broadband (Huawei E1750)
#
#!/bin/bash
echo "Insert the Telia Huawei E1750 modem and wait 5 seconds"
echo -n "Press Enter to continue..."
read
echo "Taking down eth0..."
ifdown eth0
echo "Bringing up ppp0..."
wvdial telia

Thus, the routing table should look like so (with some Destination address, after running the bash script:
root@eeepc:/etc/network# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
XX.XX.XX.XX 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0

http://shelr.tv/ uses script as backend but recording and sharing is much more easy.

ebook format support

isi — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:12:00 +0200

From the marketing blurb on the AllWinner page i tried a few .rtf's from Word 2003 and 2007, and they work flawless from the file manager. The "normal" Library display doesn't show them, though...

Also, html support is strange - the library shows and processes a few of my test files and displays them in the reader, while the File Explorer marks them with a questionmark and, on trying to start them in the reader, bombs with an "Ungueltige Datei" (invalid file)...
