Debian :: Get An IM Program To Work With MSN Account - Protocol In 5
Aug 14, 2010
I'm not that new to Linux having used a few other distros but at the same time i am not really 'clued up' and can quickly get stuck. My problem is trying to get an IM program to work with my MSN account. I use this just to keep in touch with family/friends. Pidgin, doesn't seem to have an option to add an MSN account at all. I installed Empathy after using it in Fedora which gave me an option to setup a MSN account but it doesn't connect?

I have just found, that my pidgin on a old debian Lenny machine does not support Yahoo as a protocol anymore. When checking out the list of accounts, the one with yahoo is now listed as (unknown). And when I wipe pidgin clean off the system, remove all configuration and reinstall is, now there is no way to register a yahoo account, it is just not listed in all the protocols. What is going on???
I have another lenny machine and I use yahoo there all the time...

I want to simulate a serial protocol in user space program to test reception algorithm. The protocol is similar to UART protocol but frame format is different. The duration of 1 bit is 114,46 us. In my main function I'm creating two threads. Tx for simulating transmitting data and Rx for reception data. For measure time I use create_timer() function and signals. Each thread has its own timer and signal handler. Tx timer uses SIGUSR1 and Rx timer uses SIGUSR2. Tx thread sets the global variable and Rx reads it.
The timers are set to sample with 114,46 us period. When they reach this value signal handler should set the flag. Flag is check in thread and some operation are made. When I set the timers period for longer time (100 ms) everything works fine but when I change it to default value (114,46 us) the Rx thread doesn't receive the proper data. I am wondering if the 114,46 timer period is possible to simulate in user space? Whether the time will give me the proper resolution ? Theoretically it should provide 1 ns resolution.

1) In one of the pages about the differences between Linux and Windows it mentioned that new drivers mans updating the kernal. In windows something like this would erase everything. Can the kernal be updated without losing everything? 2) Can you have more than 1 account on mint? (ex: Owner, Billy, Guest...)2.2) ...Can the accounts have different access levels? (ex: Admin vs user)2.3) ...Is it possible for one account to run a program the others don't? (ex: Billy's account will load a video enhancer program on start up, but as I don't watch as many videos my account won't.)
3) How can I tell which themes/add ons will and will not work on my Firefox once I have switched to Mint?4) One of the games that I would like to follow me on the transition does not work in Linux but supposedly works in WINE according to the manufacturer. Would WINE or something like it be available in Mint?5) How hard is it to make your own theme in Mint? I'm very attached to a theme I have used for over a decade now and reproduce it in every computer I use. Can icons from windows be imported? About the computer:This will be a home computer in a multi-user household. It will be a brand new build starting from scratch with a few old personal files (videos, pictures, music, ect) making the leap. The computer is mostly used for internet, music/movies, light office work, art (GIMP!), and some games (most of which can run on Linux).

I installed IPlist earlier today on my main/admin account (which I only use for installing programs. I don't use this account daily.) and everything was fine. When I logged into my every day account and tried to load the program, it prompted me for my password. When I entered it, I got this message:Quote:Failed to run /usr/sbin/ipblock start_gui as user root.The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo)t allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.Does this mean I am not able to use this program on this account, or is there a way around it? I'm new to Ubuntu so forgive me if I'm asking the obvious. I looked around and couldn't find an answer. I really don't want to use my admin account for daily activities, but I also really want to be able to use IPlist

I have Debian 8.4.0 with gnome gdm3 and NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS. When I run some applications the following message appears:
Code: Select allname of display: :0
X Error of failed request:Â BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
 Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)
 Minor opcode of failed request: 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
 Value in failed request: 0x0
 Serial number of failed request: 33
 Current serial number in output stream: 34
Previously, I had lightgdm instead of gdm3 and I fixed this problem allowing indirect GLX protocol just setting xserver-command=X -core +iglx in /usr/ share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xserver-command.conf...Now I can't allog GLX protocol. I have tried the following:
Set Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "On" in xorg.conf Set serverargs="+iglx" in /usr/bin/startx Set exec /usr/bin/X in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
Despite all this, the error message persists and xorg.0.log indicates that indirect GLX is disabled (line 19.477):
Code: Select all[Â Â 17.604]
X.Org X Server 1.16.4

In short, I don't find the way to enable indirect GLX in gdm3.

i am wanting to use Firefox to connect to my smb shares. However, i keep getting this error message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (smb) isn't associated with any program. My client configuration is as follows: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Shiretoko/3.5.8preI tried the instructions below to try and fix the problem with no success: Quote: From [URL]
Linux with Firefox In order to connect to a network share directly from you browser under Linux, you must configure Firefox to handle URL's starting with "smb://". This is done by typing "about:config" in the address line and hitting return. After that you must right-click the list of settings and choose "New -> Boolean" as shown below.
As name you must type: "network.protocol-handler.external.smb" with a value of "true". After that you must do the same thing over again, but this time choose "New -> String", type the name: "network.protocol-handler.app.smb" with a value of the path to the application you wish to use for browsing network shares. If you use KDE, this will typically be "/usr/bin/konqueror".

If I use console login it just turn black and after a while it get back to console and no protocol specified shows up together with xinit: giving up.
If I use root there is no problem and I can get into the desktop so it must be a user configuration problem or.....

When I go out of town I normally take my Acer Netbook to travel light. I ran into a problem over the weekend which I have seen before and couldn't find the cause. I used the wifi at the house I was staying at and could connect to the router via Wicd and ping outside IP addresses, however, I could not connect to any websites with Iceweasel or Midori. I receive the generic error that the browser is unable to connect. Now that I am back at my house I cannot repeat the problem, but have found a couple threads about disabling ipv6 protocol. The symptoms sound like a browser setting, but I couldn't find any settings that looked unusual.

ssh works fine on root but when i log into my other account, the ssh doesn't work, it just times out when i putty it. I used this to try and start it from terminal in my reg acc, and then as the su.
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
After that didn't work i did this
sudo apt-get remove openssh-server
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
and still nothing. I have no clue why it only works on root and no other accounts.

I reinstalled Slackware lastnight and was configuring Samba today and when I tested the config (I had just copied over my working smb.conf) I kept getting an NT_LOGON error when I run:
PHP Code:
smbclient -l MYSERVER
from the root account after entering root's password.
I can log in through konqueror if I pass the credentials of the only user defined in smb.conf after I'd run smbpasswd for that user, and if I bring up a full terminal session for that user smbclient works fine, but it seems odd that root can't access the shares on the machine. I may have just never noticed this before because I usually test from a user account, but is this normal since I specifically only define one user where samba is concerned? I'm mainly asking because I was getting some unexpected write errors last night while I was installing the multilib libraries for Slack64 as root and I'm trying to verify everything.

Does anyone know if I can successfully remove / delete the 'debian-sys-maint' account from MySQL? I noticed it there and appears to be something the Debian developers / maintainers of MySQL package added. I am guessing it's there to manage package updates and system maintenance as a back door of sorts. Anyone know if I can remove this account and not break the package or database?

I got a request today from someone on the software development team that reads as follows: Quote: According to RFC 4409 client mail submission to an email server is supposed to use port 587. Server to server SMTP relays are to use port 25. When I am not on site, I can't email via my work account via my iPhone or my residential internet because my ISP(s) filter port 25 to only allow traffic to and from their mail servers. They do however allow 587 anywhere per RFC 4409. Just to send this email I am having to relay off my own server in California. get the proper ports opened on the mail server? [URL] So my question now is I'm wondering if my Postfix server isn't properly configured? Right now it's listening on the following ports:

My dns/firewall Debian7 server (no GUI) was installed with a LDAP client.This client is now useless as no user needs to connect to that machine, so I changed PAM configuration to remove LDAP users from local users.The problem is that I can't login anymore as root or as administration user.The password is unchanged and when I try to login with it it gaves no error, but go back instantly to "login :"On the other hand, when I try a wrong password, it react as it should with an authentication failure.That's why I don't think it's a password issue.
The server still works as far as I can say no service was impacted, I just can't login anymore (and that will be an issue when it comes to some upgrade or administration...).

I came to debian from fedora so there I used ( su - ) to become root user. So my question is that in debian, is it same using ( su ) and ( su - ) or here also using ( su - ) is preferred with slash or without slash. What is the correct and secure way in debian with full root status.
One more question relating gedit sources.list
I use as root account : gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (and then enter and sources file in gedit open)
Is this correct method or any other way as when save after changing entries inside it says error.

I am trying to connect to a Debian account through SMB. So far I havn't had any luck and from what I have read online, without Windows 7 registry modifications, I won't get anywhere either. I have tried two main configurations on in the smb.conf. The first method was to use 'security = share' and submit the username and password on the created share. That didn't work. The second method was to use 'security = user' and authenticate to the entire smb server. That didn't work either.
I am unsure what username/password I have to enter. I am using the accounts credentials, but it isn't letting me connect with those. It also wants me to use a domain (something like 'LAPTOPusername' and then password) which I don't understand the relevance. What domain should I use?
When it comes down to it I just want an SMB share that all the Windows 7 computers in my house can access, but still requires a password. Are there any guides available? Please make sure they are up to date with the latest SAMBA and Windows 7 configuration. The ones I have gone over are old and didn't fix my problem. Also if I need to modify the registry then it isn't worth it.
