new to debian sarge need help
Hi
finally i decided to finish with redhat and go to sarge. installation went very nice , it was with net install not direct to internet modem but through my second centos router (net) gave ip address and gateway and all was amazingly ok. but i now wont to stop iptables , got to /etc/init.d and nothing there. find / -name iptables gives /sbin/iptables-save /sbin/iptables-restore /sbin/iptables but no stop script. how can i do it? another question, how to open kde ? when i startx i see some old x not like kde in centos machine. Thank Eran |
Hmm may be try as follows:
iptables -F INPUT iptables -F OUTPUT iptables -F FORWARD |
it should be in /etc/init.d/ as iptables
You should be able to do iptable stop, clear, halt and many more commands. If u set to iptables clear, this will remove all rules and set default policy to ACCEPT. To start KDE, set ur default desktop manager to KDE on the login manager. On most of the login managers, actually all the longin managers i've used gives u the option to choose ur preferred desktop manager. Good luck D |
Thanks for replying.
there is now iptables in /etc/init.d like redhat. how can I connect sarge to internet with cables modem? the script i have works good with redhat , any reason? Eran |
how do u connect to the cable modem? is it via ethernet port or usb port? make sure u machine recognise the modem, secondly check the ip address, gateway and the rest are given correctly to access ur cable modem. If i'm not mistaken cable modem works as a router, so u have to configure the LAN on the modem and then configure the machines connecting to the modem accordingly. Also make sure iptable rules are set to ACCEPT.
If u can post the script u use to connect that might be quite helpful too. D |
this script works perfect with redhat9/centos
#!/bin/bash USERNAME="$1" IFACE="$2" PPTPS=cable.netvision.net.il ifdown $IFACE ifup $IFACE NVGW=$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -1) CABLEGW=$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3) route add -host $NVGW gw $CABLEGW dev $IFACE ./pptp $NVGW debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute persist nobsdcomp usepeerdns sleep 7 NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1) route add default gw $NEWGW route del default gw $CABLEGW echo nameserver 194.90.1.5 > /etc/resolv.conf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pptp client came with the script and on the same directory as well. its a mototrola cable modem. when i ifconfig i dont see ppp0 , also a massage say so. |
KDE
For KDE, I suggest having an initial welcome screen such as gdm (gnome display manager) or kdm present. This way, you will not need to "startx", and the welcome screen will give all sorts of options such as either gnome or kde. To install, type "apt-get install gdm", then reboot.
