<p>I don't find any log contents (that make sense to me) to tell me:</p>
<ul>
<li>Did suspend-to-disk reach <strong>successful</strong> completion? If not, what went wrong?</li>
<li>Did start-up <strong>successfully</strong> detect the need to restart-from-hibernate? If successful suspend, why did detection fail?</li>
<li>Did restart-from-hibernate fail its processing? What was going on at the time of failure?</li>
</ul>
<p>I found postings about suspect modules and problem devices (where suspend-to-XXX matters) and made some progress, but the fact that one laptop works while one fails is driving me crazy.</p>
<p>Completely stumped.</p>

<p>Hello guys, just tried to connect internet upstairs and to my surprise it does connect. Don't know exactly why. Only thing I've done recently is input the codes said bij Oli and Installed Jupiter and laptop-mode-tools. I really don't know if this can effect my internet but it's the only thing I can think of.
Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it :)</p>
<p>PS If someone thinks it might be helpful for others I would like to help find a 'real' solution to this problem. Just post down what I need to post here and I will try my best to help.</p>

Is this possible, and how would I do so?</p>
<p>To provide a bit more detail: I am trying to set up Gnome Nanny to block adult websites from my kids' computer. I'd like to give them full access to the computer ACCEPT for Gnome Nanny. Windows has a program called K9 that cannot be turned off or uninstalled unless the user has the password EVEN if the user is an admin.</p>

<p>I've been able to install onto a USB flash drive and boot successfully from this. I have installed Ubuntu onto the jump drive using <a href="http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Universal USB Installer</a>, and this was a total success in terms of getting Ubuntu to run off a flash drive. <strong>I was unable to accomplish this with the portable HDD.</strong></p>
<p>I then, <a href="http://www.pendrivelinux.com/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">following instructions</a>, attempted to install the OS onto the HDD once booted up from the flash drive. After installing the OS on the HDD, the computer would simply not load the OS when the HDD medium was selected for booting from.</p>
<p><em>However</em>, as there is no <code>System-> Preferences-> Removable Drives and Media</code> I could not complete this step. Is this vital? How do I do this under Ubuntu 10.04?</p>
<p>I have formmated the MBR on the HDD and repeated the above, still with no success.</p>
<p>I have also browsed some forums that mention there may be something related to spin-up speeds, but nothing explained in detail the issue or how to solve it, and I'm not familiar enough with system booting to understand if this could be an issue.</p>
<p>Basically, what I'm trying to do is get Ubuntu to boot off the HDD, I've attempted several things, and the result is, after selecting the HDD from BIOS, the OS never starts booting (after waiting upwards of ten minutes). I just have a white cursor blinking. I can always get it to boot from the jump drive.</p>

However, the system sounds aren't working (I love those drums and the road runner sound when you press backspace). Also, with a 7.1 setup my center channel and subwoofer don't work at all. All other channels are working like a champ.</p>
<p>So I am trying to accomplish two things, get system sounds working and get center/sub channels working. How should I try to fix this?</p>

<p>Here's what seems to be the relevant error that comes up when I try to (apt-get|aptitude) install <code>ghc6</code>:</p>
<pre><code>A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

<p>(Here's the full output, if you're interested: <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/566475/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://paste.ubuntu.com/566475/</a> )</p>
<p>This still happens after <code>apt-get clean</code> and <code>apt-get update</code>.</p>
<p>My searching around has not really helped me understand what's going on, except that it might be caused by a mismatch in locale. So, here's the output of locale too:</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>Additional background: this all seems very strange to me, because I used to have <code>ghc6</code> installed correctly--I use XMonad as my main window manager most of the time. I tried to install <code>haskell-platform</code> (through apt), which failed and told me that there was something wrong with <code>ghc6</code>, and so I reinstalled <code>ghc6</code> and began to get the above error message.</p>

27485 | 1 | 27487 | 2011-02-22T04:58:05.563 | 4 | 477 | <p>Unfortunately when I installed the <code>fcron</code> package to take a look at it, I didn't realize that I was also uninstalling Ubuntu Desktop and Anacron.</p>
<p>So, I then did <code>apt-get install anacron ubuntu-desktop</code>, which also removed <code>fcron</code>.</p>
<p>However, I need to know what instability issues I may now encounter because I have done this change and changed it back. I mean, now that <code>anacron</code> is back and <code>ubuntu-desktop</code> is back, am I out of the woods? Or, will I lose any important jobs that need to run periodically from anacron?</p>

27501 | 1 | 27504 | 2011-02-22T07:31:17.413 | 100 | 75071 | <p>After using just plain <code>kill <some_pid></code> on Unix systems for many years, I learned <code>pkill</code> from a younger Linux-savvy <strike>co-worker</strike> colleague<sup>1</sup>.</p>
<p>I soon accepted the Linux-way,<code>pgrep</code>-ing and <code>pkill</code>-ing through many days and nights, through slow-downs and race conditions. This was all well and good. </p>
<p>But now I see nothing but <code>killall</code>. How-to's seem to only mention <code>killall</code>, and I'm not sure if this is some kind of parallel development, or if <code>killall</code> is a successor to <code>pkill</code>, or something else. </p>
<p>It seems to function as a more targeted <code>pkill</code>, but I'm sure I'm missing something.</p>
<p>Can an Ubuntu/Debian-savvy<sup>2</sup> person explain when (or why) <code>killall</code> should be used, especially if it should be used in preference to <code>pkill</code> (when <code>pkill</code> often seems easier, because I can be sloppier with name matching, at least by default). </p>
<p>When speaking of <code>killall</code>, I'm not thinking of the command that on some Unix systems (Solaris, AIX, ?) would kill all user processes. Here's a description of that version, from <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds3/killall.htm">a manpage for IBM's AIX</a>: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>The killall command cancels all
processes that you started, except
those producing the killall process.
This command provides a convenient
means of canceling all processes
created by the shell that you control.
When started by a root user, the
killall command cancels all
cancellable processes except those
processes that started it. If several
Signals are specified, only the last
one is effective.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><sup>1</sup> 'colleague' is free upgrade from 'co-worker', so might as well.<br>
<sup>2</sup> Originally I thought this was a Linux or Debian thing, but some sources are saying that the Linux <code>killall</code> is derived from BSD-flavored Unix. </p>

Killall has a flag to match by process age, pkill has a flag to only kill processes on a given tty.

It's the <a href=\"http://procps.sourceforge.net/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">procps package</a> that has ps, top, kill, and pkill (among others).

As you mention, <em>jgbelacqua</em>, Solaris's killall was not the utility psmisc provides, thus Solaris probably only had the procps package. Someone wanted a pattern matching process tool, thus pkill and pgrep. Whether it was developed by the procps dev or added in afterwards, I don't know.

I think the problem is in the NVIDIA x server, that doesn't support an RGB screen from 1990. The screen was the best of them all when it was released. </p>
<p>This a strange thing! In windows the EDID must work because 1280*1024 is used as max resolution, but in ubuntu those stuff aren't being received, so how do I tell ubuntu/nivida to find those EDID stuff?</p>
<p>Hi, I have an external monitor which is an 20" 1280*1024. In windows 7 it works fine with that resolution but in ubuntu it can't. </p>
<p>The screens model name is IntelliColor Display/20 and the name of the company is "radius".recived
Well, twin view is working but the only maximum resolution is 1024*768.
I'm using nividas x server program. If I force it to use 1280*1024 it all crashes and I have to force a reboot.</p>

27534 | 1 | 31586 | 2011-02-22T12:51:37.287 | 7 | 2452 | <p>Just bought my significant other a shiny new Samsung Q330 13" netbook, stuck an OCZ Agility in it and installed Maverick. Just as a quick aside, this is a devastating combination. Graphics work perfectly and it cold-boots to desktop in about 7 seconds. Very quick.</p>
<p>But (common to laptops) I've got a couple of problems. I'll start with the most problematic and start a new thread for the other.</p>
<p>Like a lot of laptops, there is a <kbd>Fn</kbd> (function) modifier to allow some keys to have another purpose. When I tried to alter the brightness of the screen by tapping <kbd>Fn</kbd>+<kbd>Down</kbd>, it worked but kept on going until it was as dim as it could go. I tapped <kbd>Fn</kbd>+<kbd>Up</kbd> and it went to the other extreme.</p>
<p>After that the entire keyboard ceases to work properly because the <kbd>Fn</kbd> modifier appears to be locked. Additionally, and as a direct side effect, I think, clicking on things doesn't result in a standard result. It's as if control is being held. A reboot is the only thing that seems to fix these problems.</p>
<p>This isn't a problem if you don't touch the <kbd>Fn</kbd> key but as there are two of them on the keyboard, an accident is going to happen sooner than later, requiring a reboot (and probably some data loss).</p>
<p>I don't have a lot of experience with laptops (I prefer my hulking great desktop) so this isn't my area of expertise. I'm open to all suggestions, even disabling the two <kbd>Fn</kbd> keys until we can find a better solution.</p>

It can connect but after a little use, especially if it does a lot of downloading at once (read: install something from the Software Centre), the connection stops working.</p>
<p>Network Manager still see the connection, there's just no network throughput. I've simple tests like pinging other local network hosts and they just fail.</p>
<p>The Samsung Q330 has a Broadcom BCM4313 wifi card (it's proper ID: <code>14e4:4727</code>) and it's running on the Broadcom STA drivers that Jockey suggests (it didn't work at all without this).</p>
<p>I did try installing <code>b43-fwcutter</code> but this just didn't do <em>anything</em>. I was expecting a configuration screen to come up (to select a firmware) but it never did.</p>
<p><a href="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This page</a> suggests the newer <code>brcm80211</code> driver might be able to help, but I don't know how to install that. If you think this is the right route, please let me know how one goes about installing it.</p>

<li>Which codec should be good? PC is not so fast so it shouldn't be too cpu hungry codec. Mpeg2, mpeg4, xvid? </li>
<li>how much video buffer should I use (vb=?)?</li>
<li>What about setting IP and ports?</li>

<p>Under Karmic (64-bit), hibernation worked fine. Under Maverick, the computer goes to hibernation but when woken, USB and display don't come back and sshd doesn't respond, either. Sometimes when waking from basic sleep (as opposed to hibernation), sshd does come back and the computer can be reached from the network. IIRC, the regression happened when upgrading to Lucid.</p>
<p>Is there a know workaround that would restore the hibernation capability that existed under Karmic?</p>

27592 | 1 | 44020 | 2011-02-22T17:42:13.093 | 0 | 1557 | <p>I've got a semi-old laptop (<a href="http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=NL&com.broadvision.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=117742" rel="nofollow noreferrer">toshiba satellite a110-228</a>), that's appointed <em>'laptop for the kids'</em> by my sister. I've installed <strong>ubuntu netbook (10.10)</strong> on it because of the lack-of memory and it seems to work fine, accept from some heat-issues. These where never a problem under windows.</p>
<p>It looks like I've got something similar to <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/11171/high-load-but-nothing-running">this problem</a>: Load is generally 1 or higher, sometimes its stuck at 0.80, but its way to high. Top/htop only show a couple of percentage CPU use (which isn't too shocking, as i'm not doing anything). At this point all the software is stock, and i'd like to keep it that way because its supposed to be the easy-to-maintain kids computer.</p>
<p>Now I'd like to find out:</p>
<ul>
<li>What could be the cause of the high load? Could it be as <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/11171/high-load-but-nothing-running">this thread</a> implies, some driver, are there other options to check?</li>
<li>How could I see what is really keeping the system hot and bothered? How to check what runs, etc etc? I'd like to pinpoint the culprint.</li>
<li>further steps to take for debugging?</li>
</ul>
<p>The big bad internet leads me to believe that it might be the graphics drivers. The laptop has an Intel 945M chipset, but that doesn't seem to be one of the problem childs in this manner (I read a lot abotu ATI drivers that need special isntall).</p>
<p>I'd not only welcome hints to directly solve this (duh) but also help in starting to debug what is going on. I am really hesitant in installing an older kernel, as I want it to be stock, and easy upgradeable (because I don't live near it, it should run without me ;) )</p>
<p><strong>As an afterthought: to keep the whole thing cooler, can I 'amp up' the fancontrol? Its only going "airplane" mode when the computer is 95 Celcius, which is a tad late for my taste.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Edit</strong>: Just for an idea of what I mean, here's a screenshot of Character Viewer on Mac OS X 10.6. The "Containing selected character" is near the bottom of the screen. I seem to remember that this part of the interface was better in 10.5 or 10.4, actually.</p>

This helps you visually pick out the fonts containing the selected character(s).</p>\n\n<p>In the screenshot below, you can see that \"BABEL Unicode Bold\" (selected) contains all characters except ṝ and that \"Arial Regular\" (where the mouse is) contains only a few characters.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://i.stack.imgur.com/EN4jv.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Fontmatrix's Preview\"></p>\n",

<p>As you can see, something fails when trying to ban an attack against my custom filter (so such attacks are detected, but not correctly banned, I don't know why)</p>
<p>So my questions would be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are those errors a <code>fail2ban</code> problem or an <code>iptables</code> one?</li>
<li>What do those errors mean?... and... how can they be avoided?</li>
<li>What am I doing wrong, or how could I correct this behaviour?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
<p>Maybe this is useful to answer the question (or not), but <code>iptables -L</code> shows no trace of my <code>apache-404-slowattackers</code>, while other jails are present:</p>

What should I do otherwise?)</p>\n<p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>\n<p>As nobody answered, I'll jot down what I discovered.\nTwo things were wrong about my setup (actually one about my setup and one about fail2ban itself):</p>\n<p>1.- If I try</p>\n<pre><code>sudo iptables -N fail2ban-apache-404-slowattackers\n</code></pre>\n<p>which is the command fail2ban issues, I get the following message:</p>\n<pre><code>iptables v1.4.4: chain name `fail2ban-apache-404-slowattackers' too long (must be under 30 chars)\n</code></pre>\n<p>If this had been logged to <code>fail2ban.log</code>, I would have known what wass going wrong (but it wasn't logged). So, changing the name of my custom filter to something shorter (for instance <code>apache-404-slowatt</code>) did the trick, as iptable chain name becomes below 30 characters.</p>\n<p>2.- There's a (seemingly) faulty fail2ban script that apparently 'runs too quickly', so I found <a href=\"http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Fail2ban_talk:Community_Portal\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">a workaround</a>.</p>\n<p>Quoting:\nI had multiple fail2ban.action.action ERROR on startup/restart. It seems there was a "race" condition with iptables. I solved the problem completely on my system by editing <code>/usr/bin/fail2ban-client</code> and adding a <code>time.sleep(0.1)</code>:</p>\n<pre><code>def __processCmd(self, cmd, showRet = True):\n beautifier = Beautifier()\n for c in cmd:\n time.sleep(0.1)\n beautifier.setInputCmd(c)\n</code></pre>\n",

<p>Google now has version 6 available as a .DEB, so I decided to install that. However, that seems to have messed up both installations and now no matter what I do, I can't get Google Earth to run.</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt-get purge google-earth-stable
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
</code></pre>
<p>Which I thought would work... but when I run <code>google-earth</code>, I get:</p>
<pre>
/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found

<p>How can I get it installed now?</p>

In windows, I mount it locally and share it on my local network. I'm trying to do the same in Ubuntu 10.10 but am running into permission issues. The tc volume has funny permissions and I just can't seem to figure out a way to access it (unsecurely of course) over my network. Other non-tc volume shares work just fine.</p>
<p>To recap, I mount a truecrypt volume in Ubuntu and set up a samba share as normal. The share shows up on my local network but accessing it gives 'permission denied'. Mounting as a network drive using a password does not seem to work either.</p>
<p>Any insight would be greatly appreciated.</p>

I am using telnet because of a barcode reader. It is pretty old before 2000 i think and it seems that it supports only telnet via wifi connection. However how can i restrict telnet access to only this device ip and to only one user?
How can i force that only a terminal application is executed and when it is closed no one can make any change to the system?</p>

<p>100MB Boot partition (automatically made by Windows 7 installer)
390GB Windows partition
~1.6TB free space</p>
<p>When I go through the Ubuntu installer it does not give me the option to install alongside another operating system. My only options are to use the entire disk or to specify partitions manually. When I chose to specify partitions manually it tells me that the drive is all free space!</p>
<p>Windows is still booting and behaving normally, and I had not doing anything in Windows yet (had simply installed, booted for first time, then immediately restarted). I am even able to mount the windows partition within Ubuntu Live CD, and see it in the disk viewer (not GParted). GParted in Ubuntu Live CD again reports no partitions, all free space.</p>
<p>Not sure what to do :S. I have installed Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu countless times, even Ubuntu 10.10.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your help :).</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I tried adding a partition through Disk Utility since it identifies the partitions, it failed. However GParted now identifies the free sapces as a NTFS partition. I used to have Ubuntu as my only O/S before I wiped to add windows 7. I wonder if there is some remnant of the old partition table left over that the Windows installer wasn't wiping over, so GParted was getting confused on where partitions started/ended.</p>
<p>I am trying to create the partition table/partitions with GParted now and see if that helps.</p>
<p>I got to install Windows 7 first unfortunately since I can never figure out how to repair grub once Windows has stomped on it.</p>

So I installed it again from Boot. But the problem persists. There is No sound at all, but the OS seems like that it has no problem at all.<br>
And Also, I cannot reduce brightness. The brightness applet says "Cannot get laptop panel brightness" ..</p>

<pre><code>Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

E: Version ‘6.22-0ubuntu1~10.10’ for ‘sun-java6-jdk’ was not found

<p>I've taken this version number from this changelog: <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+changelog" rel="nofollow">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+changelog</a></p>
<p>Is this the correct way to install a previous version of a package? Have I got the correct version from the sun-java6 change log?</p>

27715 | 1 | 27731 | 2011-02-23T11:11:39.963 | 75 | 42116 | <p>I searched for a simple way to create .deb Packages for things which have no source code to compile (configs, shellscripts, proprietary software). This was quite a problem because most of the package tutorials are assuming you have a source tarball you want to compile. Then I've found <a href="http://www.tomprogs.at/tutorials/linux/debian-paket-tutorials-01-ein-erstes-paket.xhtml">this</a> short tutorial (german).</p>
<p>Afterwards, I created a small script to create a simple repository. Like this:</p>
<pre><code>rm /export/my-repository/repository/*
cd /home/tdeutsch/deb-pkg
for i in $(ls | grep my); do dpkg -b ./$i /export/my-repository/repository/$i.deb; done
cd /export/avanon-repository/repository
gpg --armor --export "My Package Signing Key" > PublicKey
apt-ftparchive packages ./ | gzip > Packages.gz
apt-ftparchive packages ./ > Packages
apt-ftparchive release ./ > /tmp/Release.tmp; mv /tmp/Release.tmp Release
gpg --output Release.gpg -ba Release
</code></pre>
<p>I added the key to the apt keyring and included the source like this:</p>
<pre><code>deb http://my.default.com/my-repository/ ./
</code></pre>
<p>It looks like the repo itself is working well (I ran into some problems, to fix them I needed to add the Packages twice and make the temp-file workaround for the Release file). I also put some downloaded .deb into the repo, it looks like they are also working without problems. But my self created packages didn't... Wenn i do <code>sudo apt-get update</code>, they are causing errors like this:</p>
<pre><code>E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
E: Error occurred while processing my-printerconf (NewVersion2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/my.default.com_my-repository_._Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
</code></pre>
<p>Has anyone an idea what I did wrong?</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 2012-03-06:</strong> Just a a hint for another person who is searching for a easy way to create DEBs: Take a look at <a href="https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki">FPM</a>.</p>

<pre><code>When installing ufw from source, you will also need to integrate it into your
boot process for the firewall to start when you restart your system. Depending
on your needs, this can be as simple as adding the following to a startup
script (eg rc.local for systems that use it):
# /lib/ufw/ufw-init start
For systems that use SysV initscripts, an example script is provided in
doc/initscript.example. See doc/upstart.example for an Upstart example. Consult
your distribution's documentation for the proper way to modify your boot
process.
</code></pre>
<p>On my system I have this:</p>
<pre><code># /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
#
# Set to yes to start on boot. If setting this remotely, be sure to add a rule
# to allow your remote connection before starting ufw. Eg: 'ufw allow 22/tcp'
ENABLED=yes

My wife prefers Ubuntu, but obviously outside of web stuff, you can't do a lot with Light, so I went ahead and installed the Desktop version of Ubuntu (10.10 / maverick).</p>
<p>Whereas before it suspended beautifully and connected to wifi networks flawlessly, it now displays the following problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>It seems to suspend ok, but on resume, the screen remains blank, even though the computer appears to wake up again.</li>
<li>Wifi doesn't connect.</li>
</ul>
<p>I tried using the suggested proprietary drivers, and those don't seem to change the situation.</p>
<p>All in all, a bit frustrating to run into these sorts of "regressions" - does anyone know what sort of drivers and such Ubuntu Light might have shipped with for this computer that made it work so well? Unfortunately, I wiped the disk in order to install the Desktop version of Ubuntu.</p>

"body": "<p>One thing you can do is block the protocols on your firewall. The primary protocol is SMB which uses a number of ports: 135, 137, 139, and 445. Mac computers may pick you up using avahi which runs on port 5353.</p>\n\n<p>If you don't have any Samba component installed you don't need to block the SMB ports. These are the tools which handle the SMB protocol, and could make you appear a Windows.</p>\n\n<p>A number of packages depend on avahi components, but unless you install and configure the avahi-daemon you shouldn't appear on anyone's Network list. Without the daemon you shouldn't be announcing your presence. However, if there is no DHCP server you may end up in zero-conf mode in the 169.254.0.0/16 network block. This might make you visible.</p>\n\n<p>The normal network discovery tools on the peoples desktops only discover systems which announce their presence. I think Window is quieter now, but each system used to broadcast their presence and identify every few minutes. </p>\n\n<p>EDIT: Most systems get their address from a DHCP server. This configures them so that they can communicate with larger networks. DHCP data will also provide the address of the router to use and additional information. </p>\n\n<p>Some systems are given static IP address configurations. Servers are usually configured this way, but can get a static IP configuration from DHCP. </p>\n\n<p>The address block 169.254.0.0/16 has been defined for self-configuring autonomous networks. Basically this allows computers to self-discover an address for themselves. The avahi protocol allows hosts to register their name in the <code>.local</code> domain. This functionality is often referred to as zero-conf as no configuration is required. Windows (and Apple?) use this as a fall-back option if no other configuration works.</p>\n\n<p>The avahi protocol can be used on any address range to announce available services. Apple calls this functionality Bonjour. Linux provides the avahi-daemon to announce and/or relay service lists.</p>\n\n<p>EDIT2: I've done some further research with Windows, and haven't got it to show up in my Avahi browse list. (I don't have plans to run tests on an autonomous network.) This may be because I have DHCP running and Windows didn't fall back, or Windows may not register. Like WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), Zeroconf (avahi or Bonjour) maintains a list of servers and services which can easily be discovered and displayed by clients. Without add-on software Windows systems will not discover systems using Zeroconf.</p>\n\n<p>DNS is not designed to provide the server/service discovery offered by either WINS or Zeroconf. Local networks may allow zone transfers from which some information may be discovered. Servers without zone discovery only provide name lookup services, but not the discovery services offered by WINS and Zeroconf. Additionally, DNS information is often statically defined, and may not include hosts configured by DHCP. DNS servers can be configured for dynamic updates which allows DHCP clients to register their names. Dynamic updates only provide name to IP address lookups. Apple systems do use this mechanism to discover servers and services. (From the documentation I have seen zeroconf is designed to provide discovery for more services than WINS.)</p>\n\n<p>Another mechanism which can be used to discover systems is ARP. This only allows determining that a host is using an IP address, but not its name. ARP is not useful for a network neighborhood list. I do use <code>arpwatch</code> to discover rouge systems connecting to a network. arpwatch can also discover some configuration problems. </p>\n",

<p>What should I do? Is it a security risk if I continue without a second guess?</p>

27753 | 1 | null | 2011-02-23T16:29:51.113 | 3 | 10251 | <p>I've got an NFS server and several NFS clients, if I reboot the server, then when the client comes up (if the server is unavailable), I can get it to either skip the NFS mount or prompt me to ask how to continue. </p>
<p>However in man nfs it talks about a bg option, which should fork the mount to the background and retry the connection periodically (dmesg says every 90 seconds). When I try that, the client skips the non-existent server, but never seems to retry the connection when the server does come up. </p>
<p>How can I make it work? This is my fstab setting:</p>
<pre><code>server:/var/www /var/www nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,bg,retry=100,nobootwait 0 0
</code></pre>
<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>the command above doesn't do what I want, I can't seem to pipe the output of the svn info to grep.</p>
