I just wanted to install tomcat:

Package: tomcat5.5
Depends: java-gcj-compat-dev (>= 1.0.30-5) | kaffe (>= 2:1.1.6-3) | java2-runtime, libtomcat5.5-java (>= 5.5.20-4), adduser (>= 3.34), ecj-bootstrap, jsvc


Hmmm.. what’s that java2-runtime?


Package java2-runtime is a virtual package provided by:
sun-j2re1.5 1.5.0+update03
sun-java6-jre 6-00-2
sun-java5-jre 1.5.0-11-1
gij-4.1 4.1.2-4
gij 4:4.1.2-2


Well, in this case everithing is OK, since

sun-java5-jre is already the newest version.


However,

Package: ecj-bootstrap
Depends: ecj


Furthermore,

Package: ecj
Depends: gij-4.1 (>= 4.1.2-1), libgcj7-jar (>= 4.1.2-1), java-common (>= 0.23)

So, eventhough I have sun-java5-jre (even sun-java5-sdk), I also have to install gij-4.1.

Why is it always so complicated for me to run anything written in Java?

It’s time to shut down for 24 hours…

The time has come to install 3rd party fonts to a linux laptop. It was not easy to find out how to do this. Although the process itself is simple:

# defoma-hints --no-question {type} /usr/share/fonts/{type}/{dir}/{files} >/etc/defoma/hints/{name}.hints
# defoma-font register-all /etc/defoma/hints/{name}.hints
# dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig


I’m expecting the brand new .vanyi.org server to be set up within one or two weeks, and after that I can start migrating my stuff. Until then I’m just fowarding my email to the Mora dormitory, where I still have my email address. However, today an issue came up:

# echo helo |netcat orion.fwall.u-szeged.hu 25
421 orion.fwall.u-szeged.hu: Too many concurrent SMTP connections; please try again later

The MX for Mora is orion and eos. Both were full. I’ve checked the postfix incoming graph with munin on the dormitory server, and it was clear that only the half of the usual email traffic came through. My test email did not. So, I’ve quickly changed the forwarding to gmail. I hope no important email has been lost in the last 24 hours.

Today I’ve upgraded drupal from 4.7.2 to 5.0. New version, new theme… new new…

Remember my last post? 🙂 Now, check this out:

Thanks to a documentation and some downloads I’ve found here, I have now a debian etch running on my ASUS wireless router. The guy exactly did what I wanted to. I already had debootstrap on my laptop, and OpenWRT dev kit. But he saved me some hard work. I should thank him 🙂 Although I needed to tweak a little bit, but now it works!!! I can now sleep better 😀

Long time, no blog. 🙂

We moved to another flat, w/o internet. Fortunately, within one month we could arrange one. It’s not that good as previously, but it works. I have also bought a wireles router. Not the ASUS WL-500g Deluxe, because I could not find one, but an ASUS WL-500g Premium thanks to one of my colleagues. It’s even better then the one I wanted. 32M RAM, 2x USB 2.0, supported by OpenWRT… yum! I have already an OpenWRT running on it:

.

Of course I’m already planning to replace OpenWRT with Debian mipsel. Crazy me, huh?

The results of my previous action were imminent. However, there was another issue. Check this:

There was an infected machine making connections with a lot of hosts in the university network over port 139. The soulution? Restrict the port in the firewall. 🙂
