Ubuntu wiki states that its packages are compiled with secure flags and secure kernel options. I cannot find this information about debian. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags

I'm using nm-applet to dial up DSL pppoe connections. As there are a great number of user in my local network, I sometimes have to try many times to establish a connection successfully.
I wonder is there some way to set nm-applet or networkmanager repeat trying automatically until connect succes...
@Tshepang It was discussed, but I don't think we're particularly interested in doing it; certainly I'm not. We don't even have a lot of meta activity, so I doubt many people are interested in keeping up a blog
1) A system is installed with an encrypted VG.
2) How can I find out that what did they used?
It's a Fedora 14, they used dm_crypt OR luks. Or it's the same?
Hello all,
I have currently a strange problem on debian (wheezy/amd64).
I have created a chroot to install a server (i can't give any more detail about it, sorry). Let's call its path /chr_path/.
To make things easy, I have initialized this chroot with a debootstrap (also wheezy/amd64).
All se...
I'm doing a shell command (such as sh run.sh > log.txt). How do you overwrite the file each time (so each time I run it log.txt doesn't get appended)
I'm doing this in a python script and I'm checking the log file each time for a specific number (and I don't want the numbers to get added onto...
I'm using HP G42 laptop with 320GB hard-drive and 4 GB memory. I'm pretty sure that, it can be used for dual OS(Windows 7 & fedora) Currently, I'm using only Windows 7, but, I need to install fedora.
This my hard-drive :
Local disk(C) = 50GB(Windows 7 installed here)
Local disk(D) = re...
I recently have been trying out Arch Linux. It seems that their autofs has a usability bug, although I confess that I'm new enough to Arch that I may be missing something horribly obvious.
I want autofs to automagically mount hosts under /net like it has always done. Traditionally it used /etc/a...
I'm having a weired issue wih my Fedora 14 recently.
Many details involed. Let's start from this:
I've been using Fedora 14 for months, and recent few days, offten I can't access Internet for hours. I can verify by a iPod Touch that connected to the same router, that the connection is fine.

SU was talking about getting us and AU to post on their blog a little while ago
@Gilles The asker seems to agree that it's a duplicate; Caleb's concern was just about searching, but we won't delete that version, so searchers can find both versions
Why in the world do all my gnome terminals run under 1 processin Ubuntu? This is integrating things that should remain separated! I much prefer xterm's rational mode of running one process per window.
I tried to switch some auto-started windows from xterm to gnome-terminal so I can freeze a lo...
Is there any way to prevent yum from upgrading a package obsoleted by other package?
I have created a custom repo containing some packages, among them openh323-devel. In current versions of CentOS, openh323 is marked as being obsoleted by OPAL, but I don't want to compile other software (namely ...
I have some devices connected to a Cisco serial term server; many work fine when I telnet directly to the port on the Cisco. However, I have a few stubborn devices that will not use the backspace as it is mapped in telnet by default.
In case it matters, I telnet from rxvt under Debian squeeze. ...
@Gilles Probably; I'm not sure what the threshold is. When I hit 10k on SO people celebrated by upvoting a bunch of my posts; the resulting recalc pushed me back under 10k again. I was a bit annoyed
@Gilles Their understanding is really impressive; there was an audio thing recently (I don't think it was a podcast, it was some interview) where waffles and geoff were discussing how they dealt with the Oct 2010 DB failure
The MM 10k mass-upvoting thing was a challenge, not only cuz he does a lot of shell answering (boring stuff that goes over my head), but also cuz I already voted on so many of his posts already.
Damn, next guy in line is at least 3k away from 10k
I have learned to compile my own source over the years but always left some of the process to "mystery". I'm running into a bitch of a time getting ImageMagick and its myriad dependencies to work correctly on a PowerPC Mac OS X Server.
In setting flags for ./compile where does one typically unco...
Fedora installer must have a partitioning tool that will also allow you to resize that big partition. Here's a scheme I have in mind:
Resize the large partition to something like 220GB.
2-4 GB swap partition (this will come in handy in case you want to suspend, or if you are going to be runnin...
I really want to downvote the other guy, for he seemed to have ignored my answer (check my comment). Either that, or I'm missing something.
@Gilles I'd be fine with it, if SO doesn't want it. I remain hazy on what questions they actually don't like -- I would've expected that to get closed immediately
@Tshepang I follow zsh and a few other tags on all sites, so I see most of these questions. You've seen several of them get migrated to U&L, closed on SO by me + a mod (alerted by a flag)
So the next stable version of Debian is out but I need to install the previous one (Lenny) because my VPS is running that version. I haven't been able to find an «official» download link for Lenny's ISOs.
Can you help me with this?
I recently used a sentence similar to the following:
Curiously, how do you do it?
Some people found it grammatically incorrect. That was a surprise, for I thought it was perfectly okay. Someone even came with an alternative:
Out of curiosity, how do you do it?
Is the second sentence a...
@Tshepang : Assuming your sentence is grammatically incorrect, some people might not understand what you meant. So you could describe the intended meaning of your sentence.
@Gilles, I will take a look... btw, I updated my question about BackSpace... I think maybe I could solve this with keysym, but I'm having trouble getting the syntax right
This keyboard has only one super key, so I want to remap the menu key to make up for that.

If I want to share my Films/Videos, what should I choose? My solution would be NFS. The only problem is that that NFS lacks of security (is it true?).
