Hi,
I recently installed my first debian, sarge. I had kept my home intact during this install, so all the previous configuration files were still present in my home dir. Since my favorite Windowmaker wasn't installed, I installed it using apt-get. But when I log into it, I find that everything is very messed up. None of my previous shortcuts seem to work. Even the standard "alt+tab" doesn't work properly. The standard icons don't work. Clicking on one of these gives me the error Error Could not execute command "/usr/X11R6/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs" And there is no /usr/X11R6/GNUstep directory present. The biggest problem is that I can't find the configuration directory. I had one ~/.gnustep/library/windowmaker directory with mandrake 10.1. But this seems to have been deleted during installation. Do I need to create my own configuration directory? |
cheema: this sticky is to post tips and tricks about the configuration of Debian. Please post a new message, more people will see it and respond quicker to your problems.

Hi macondo
I followed your advice and I installed guarddog as you explained in your thread 'Debian Post-Install Configuration'. Now I have a firewll in function and I thank you for that but I have an error also. Here are the thins: I am runing Debian 3.1r1 with kernel 2.6.8-2-386, I installed the base system+GUI+Gnome. Everything is OK. BUT From time to time on bash terminal (not on GUI terminal) appear a message on my monitor like that: DROPPED IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=01:005e:00:00:01:00:a0:c5:c8:46:a1:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=1061 PROTO=2 Doesn't matter where I am (in what program or window) it just appear on my screen this text. The only thing that I observed that is changing is ID. This message become to appear after I installed firewall guarddog. I don't know what I have to do. It is embarassed that when you want to do something to appear that message like that. It appear to the login screen, it appear when I work in Midnight Commander, it appear with a regalrity of 3 minutes. Please tell me what I have to do to disable this message? What I must to configure for that messege not appear in the future? Thanks. |
Hi macondo
I followed your tips to install a firewall and I managed to install and configure guarddog as you explained in your thread 'Debian Post-Install Configuration'. I have now a working firewall and I thank you for your advice but I have now an error also. I have installed Debian 3.1r1 'sarge' with option linux26. I installed base system+GUI+Gnome and everything was OK. When I installed guarddog become to appear on my bash terminal (not on GUI terminal) a message like that: DROPPED IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=01:00:5e:00:00:01:00:a0:c5:c8:46:a1:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=1061 PROTO=2 This message appear everywhere I work on bash, when I login debian, when I work in Midnight Commander, when I read on man or any program. Doesn't matter where I am this messagfe simply appear on my monitor. It is embarassed to work with something and suddely appear that message. The only thing, I observed that is changing is ID on that message, the rest of it is the same. It appear with a freqvens of 3 minute (every 3 minute I have it on my screen). What I have to do to disable this message? What I have to configure not to appear in the future? Thanks a lot. |
Eliminating log messages in Guarddog
Launch guarddog:
# guarddog and in the section "Logging", disable these 2 lines: Log blocked packets Log rejected packets Press Ok, wait a few seconds, a couple of messages will appear and then reboot. |
Thanks.
I disable this two option in guarddog and everything is OK now. Thanks again. |
