Canci: good question. The reason is that debian security repository is really slow for me, (I'm from Ukraine, and it takes about 15 min to install security updates per server, speeds are very slow ) and I need to install a lot of new servers (30 or more). I do disable security repo, but enable Debia...

Hello

When Debian 11.4 is supposed to be released ? Any Release schedule?

Both answers not very helpful. And first search gives me exactly zero useful results. (Google is not _that_ good) Anyway, "client IP" allows to query extra parameters about "your IP" from a different interface with a different IP, which I think is redundant. (since client can spo...

Hi, Looking at DHCP RFC2131 - What is the diff between "client" and "your" IP? ciaddr 4 Client IP address; only filled in if client is in BOUND, RENEW or REBINDING state and can respond to ARP requests. yiaddr 4 'your' (client) IP address. I read it, but still don't understand. I...

50-bits can be put into 64-bit integer, so there is only 1 extra CPU operation - the bitmask (bit extract). It is way faster than trying to process 128-bits on 64-bit CPU (IPv6) or doing checksums + fragmentation on every hop (IPv4). Considering the other optimizations (such as no ARP), in reality I...

I think not.

All the people I know, that are buying smartphones and tablets, are buying them *in addition* to their current PC (desktop or laptop). No one is buying a tablet to replace a PC.

Hi all, I have created a new Internet Protocol "Five Fields". Why ? Because IPv6 is hard to use, and I wanted to keep look & feel similar to IPv4. Problem with IPv6, is that those addresses are very hard for humans to remember, compare and visualize topologies in human brain. IPv4 has ...

After I close lid on my laptop, it goes to sleep, but after I open it up, it never wakes up.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Debian 8 Jessie.

Any ideas on how-to install touchpad drivers and how-to figure out which kind of touchpad I have ?

Well, it required a Linux laptop restart to get firmware working.

Hi all ! I got a new Ultrabook, Toshiba Z30, but can't get it to WiFi. lspci shows: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 6b) NOTE: This is the -ac standard wireless.

Are there any good loan calculators ? -Something with Spitzer tables aka "equal payments" -Open-Source -preferably desktop GUI (Qt) -preferably cross-platform (Windows + Linux) -- Android is a bonus ! NOTE: Debian package list returned zero results for keyword "loan" or "mor...

Okay, it seems few things combined helped: 1. GRUB: (in /etc/grub.d/10_linux...) gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode needs to be removed. 2. GRUB kernel: (in /etc/default/grub) nomodeset 3. GRUB itself: (in /etc/default/grub) GRUB_TERMINAL=console GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 Only those modes together helps ! For me th...

>You can turn that off with a boot cheat command.

What cheat command ?

There is no display manager, and no X11.

Problem: I can't see anything at the hi-res of modern monitors, as my eyes degrade. I need to console lower res to good-old DOS-style, 80x25. I installed brand-new Debian 8 (netinst), no X11, no display manager for now. (Intel 4400 graphics chip) I tried: edit in file /etc/default/grub: GRUB_TERMINA...

Debian 7.0 needs MTP support in order to be relevant

Debian needs to backport this killer feature into it's KDE, else Android 4.x devices (such as samrtphones and tablets) will not work with Debian.

Debian 6.0 ships with patented codecs, including MP3 and MPEG4 in the main repository, to which you can access by KDE Kaffeince and other programs. (which both openSUSE and Fedora refuse to ship) What is the stance about such issues ? (esp. considering that Google Chrome recently dropped support for...
