Debian User Forums

It appears that threads in the "Sid's something or other" forum ignores my theme selection.
Is that really necessary?
Or maybe it's done on purpose so as to not have readers?
Who's the idiot in charge?

You run log indicates that your browser attempts to use that server as proxy, and that the server fails to perform its role as a NAT router by in particular failing to facilitate the DNS handshake that precedes any content access for a browser. In other words, it would appear that your SSH socks tun...

Ok. Second best would be to configure your Debian box to route for itself at least. The command is as per below, if your interface is named enp5 : ip route add 192.168.10.0/24 via 192.168.0.3 dev enp5 Note that you can lookup your interface name by the following command line: ip route get 192.168.0....

configure 192.168.0.1 to route packets to network 192.168.10.0/24 via 192.168.0.3

Is "Debian" just its installer? I think of "Debian" as a repository of software that is divided up into as separate "packages" as possible, where Debian Developers spend their effort at maintaining the interoperability and dependencies between these packages. An, or the...

afaik, the best you can do is to utilize the "inherits" appendix, as in the following: iface boo inet manual pre-up echo $IF_HELLO iface foo inet manual inherits boo hello banana iface fie inet manual inherits boo hello apple In that example, the "extension block" foo defines the...

Just a final thought: is there an issue with the loopback, lo, interface (on the server)?

Yes, I'm just making useless noise I'm afraid ...
I suppose you've already gone through Nagios support "general troubleshouting tips".

Right. I suppose next is the question about firewall on that router. Perhaps that's where port 5666 is filtered?

RIght, 10.25.34.89 will send any packet for 10.25.29.33 by sending it to its router, 10.25.34.65, which is supposed to send it onward onto the 10.25.29.0/24 network, provided that a) it (10.25.34.65) has such route and b) it forwards packets for its 10.25.34.64/26 network. Does it?

I was looking for the output of "ip route" on your server (10.25.34.89), which is not on the 10.25.29.0/24 network.

Maybe add the routing table... does 10.25.34.89 know a route to 10.25.29.33 ?

Yes the server is archive.debian.org and the sources.list should thus be:

And then you probably also need the debian machine to masquerade the network traffic, which you'd do as follows with iptables installed and assuming your Ethernet interface name is ens5:

Volans VT-BT50 works quite well for me.

You might need to tell the debian machine kernel that forwarding is ok, by And for convenience you might also want to add the setting into a file in /etc/systctl.d/

You might be lucky with gdb.

Sometimes merely attaching gdb transits a process into something vanishable that vanishes when you exit gdb.

And otherwise it might work invoking functions at the gdb command line.

Fair enough. Those commands are sufficient for me to make it work; basically I run the installer until a first "detect disks" ends up in asking for modules; I do the commands; then go back and retry "detect disks" which now works, and then installation continues successfully. Tho...

I had some luck with going into C-A-F2 console and using the following commands: # iscsi-iname > /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi # iscsistart -i $(cat /etc/iscsi/ini*) -t TARGET_NAME -g 1 -a PORTAL_ADDRES -d 1 I got that from the run_hook detail in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ISCSI/Boot Then ret...

Instead of using the "dhcp" method, you can use the "manual" method and then add your own start and stop of the dhclient process as associated "up" and "down" steps. For "up" you would copy the broken command line you see with "pgrep -a dhclient...
