I'm trying to block that drat embedded yahoo messenger in yahoo mail on a squid box. I edited the hosts file to point webcs.msg.yahoo.com and httpcs.msg.yahoo.com to 127.0.0.1 but nslookup is still returning good IP addresses. I checked my host.conf and the order is correct for hosts,bind Is there a cache somewhere to flush? I reloaded nscd, which should have cleared the cache according to google.. any ideas?

Lucien posted:Not all programs use /etc/hosts to resolve a domain name. You mentioned you use squid, why don't you just block the domains in the squid.conf? I've got the domains blocked in squidguard, but they're still getting through. I'll look at modifying squid.conf as well. edit: any you're right.. squid doesn't give 2 shits about the hosts file edit2: maybe squid does care. the line in squid.conf for the host file was commented out. I uncommented it, and pointed it to /etc/hosts We'll see what happens. This has been making me crazy... I've blocked all IP's for both domains, and the domains themselves in squidguard and the poo poo still works. loving yahoo...... I know on the workstation if I set the hosts file to 127.0.0.1 for the domains it works.. I could update the 300 workstations here hosts file, but I'd prefer not to. skipdogg fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Feb 24, 2009 |

I've started using flickr_upload (http://search.cpan.org/~cpb/Flickr-Upload/flickr_upload) to get my pics on flickr. I still have to log in to my account to get the URL for the fullsize picture (e.g. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3305419351_863285698b_o.jpg). Any way to retrieve this info from the command-line?

I'm looking for a quick, easy and painless way to stress test systems before they leave our manufacturing dept. All we're really concerned with is stressing CPU and RAM. I've played around with Inquisitor (https://www.inquisitor.ru), and had some measure of success with it, but I can't run the CPU and memory tests simultaneously, they seem to clobber each other, which results in the memory test failing. Does anyone know of a good, easy to use bootable CD utility that will test both CPU and RAM? Memtest isn't sufficient, since it only works the CPU just enough to address memory and perform basic operations on it. If anyone knows of such a magical tool that'll just boot + run, I'd be ever so happy. sonic bed head posted:Thank you so much! That's amazing. I had no idea that command existed. It's basically unlocker for Linux. Check out http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/advanced-lsof-usage-in-ubuntu-or-any.html - this has some quick and easy examples of how nice lsof really is. Just running "lsof" can be very slow, if you know what you're looking for and throw lsof a few arguments when you invoke it, it'll speed up considerably.

Memtest isn't sufficient, since it only works the CPU just enough to address memory and perform basic operations on it. I've spent considerable time hunting around for this, with no real luck. So I wound up using remastersys to create my own bootable ISO image based on an already existing HDD install. Slapped down a pretty minimal Ubuntu 8.10 install, installed mprime and an init script to start it up in "torture" mode when the system boots. As it turns out, I probably spent more time hunting for a pre-made tool than I actually did rolling my own. Remastersys is surprisingly easy to use - if you ever need to create your own custom bootable CD, it's a pretty handy tool to have. Burning the .iso now, fingers crossed.

I'm trying to get Ubuntu up and running on my house's public computer (been running off a Knoppix disk for awhile) but the install can't detect my SATA drive. I've dug around in the BIOS and can't seem to find anything to switch on/off - I figured I need to provide some sort of SATA driver but don't know what I need/where/when I need it. The board is an older Asus or Abit one, about 3 years old with an AMD 2500+ in it. Install runs fine, but when I get to the partition manager it can't detect any drives and eats a donkey dick. Thanks.

The board is an older Asus or Abit one, about 3 years old with an AMD 2500+ in it. I'm having a disk-related issue with Ubuntu right now, specifically, Xubuntu. My 2nd hard disk that's used for storage on my home theatre PC spins up whenever I log out of XFCE, but not when I log out of bash. Only on logout too, not on login. Any ideas what could hit /mnt/storage on an X Window/XFCE logout on a clean profile? I removed tracker from the system, and updatedb is configured to skip the mount point, so anyone have any ideas? I've checked /etc/gdm/PostSession and /etc/xdg/xfce4/ for any logout scripts, and I can't see anything that would hit the 2nd disk. (especially since nothing was installed to it)

I'm running RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.1, and it's desperately (read: YEARS) behind on updates. I want to be able to download all available updates one night, then install them all the next. I installed the yum-downloadonly plugin. So, should my procedure be: yum update --downloadonly -THEN- yum update Will yum know that those files are already download and ready to roll? Is there some other command I should be using?

I'm trying to get a *complete* list of all of the files that rtorrent is using at a given time (trying to clean up disk space, want to make sure I'm not deleting something that rtorrent is seeding and wind up re-downloading it). It isn't as simple as I thought it would be, though. code:Anyone know how I can get an actual complete list? Or is rtorrent doing something internally like releasing filehandles until it actually needs to do something with them?

How do I get Ubuntu's remote desktop to resize the resolution on connect? I've done some googling but haven't had any luck. I'm running the standard poo poo that comes with the distro and connecting via Vista with the standard VNC client. I used a large clunky CRT and a 24" WS LCD remotely, so the resolutions are pretty disparate.

Did I f my raid 5 in the a? I moved the 4 drives into a new machine. Both the old and new machines are Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I did a mdadm --create /dev/md0 ..... The raid did the normal syncing, but now I can't mount it. I try mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /files and it tells me it can't find an ext3 filesystem on the device. Did I gently caress it over by doing a create? Should I have done assemble instead? Ugh.

This has been bugging me all day new install of Fedora 10, for whatever reason the network throughput speed is very very slow. Right now it's running yum updates and they're downloading at 10kb/s. It's not a network issue because I have a XP machine sitting on the same switch that can get the full speed of the line (downloading megabytes per second). If I browse both of them to the same speed testing website they get scores which match what I'm seeing (dialup-esque linux and blazing fast windows) What the heck is wrong with my linux box? At this point I'm kinda hoping that when yum finishes updating something will get patched and it'll work like a normal machine should. I'm not very good at linux yet so please give the full commands I need for stuff I need to check.

You'll probably get some improved responsiveness by disabling IPv6 lookups. But your best bet to troubleshoot might be to try a livecd of another distro to see if it's linux support of your hardware.

I took a DSL connection that's separate from my main network, and that works at full speed on my linux box (makes me wish I tried that hours ago, finally got yum update to finish!). So there's something wrong with my main network that's causing this drama, be it proxy server or something else. There was a command I've since forgotten that I needed to enter to make the system accept my proxy servers IP address How do I check duplex settings at the client side? (it plugs into a tiny switch). And how do I disable ipv6 lookups? When I was googling this problem I saw a number of people say to disable ipv6 dns lookups in firefox but that wouldn't propagate to the rest of the system would it? (they described a problem where firefox would be slow, but downloads were normal, different from my issue)

waffle iron posted:Firefox is one of the few apps requests AAA records (IPv6 aliases). You can disable it system wide by putting ipv6 in the modprobe blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and restarting. As far as duplex modes go if would be useful to know what module it uses. For that the output of lsmod is useful. blacklisted ipv6, no difference though here's the lsmod output: code:

I love Quod Libet, but it sounded like the guy really wanted something simpler. If he does want a library, QL is great. Another alternative is mpd along with Sonata or some other frontend, but QL is a lot easier to get working and has much better metadata support (mpd uses hardcoded values).

(they described a problem where firefox would be slow, but downloads were normal, different from my issue) "ethtool eth0" will tell you if it's full-duplex or not (along with lots of other details). You can disable IPv6 by unchecking the "Enable IPv6 configuration for this interface" checkbox in system-config-network (Devices tab, select the device in question, click Edit). (This isn't causing your problem, though -- it would only make name resolution approximately twice as slow, not actual data transfers.)
