After failing with "Connection closed by foreign host", what output, if any, do you get from these two commands?:

Code: Select all

grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts
diff /initrd/pup_ro2/etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.allow

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it going, even though the reason that there was a problem is still a mystery. If you still have the old save file, trying to connect and failing, then running this command might or might not provide a clue: grep telnetd /var/log/messages | tail But if you are hap...

That looks good, assuming you are still trying 127.0.0.1 or localhost. Using Lupu 5.2.8.6-20140106 and the Inetd-Telnet.pet package you linked to in your previous post, I do get a login prompt, and can login. # telnet 127.0.0.1 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Psync Time Synchroniser Version 2.10

As mentioned in the post to which I attached version 2.9x , that version was a beta for Psync 2.10. Now that it has been tested for a few weeks without any problems, I am releasing it as Psync 2.10. Version 2.10 identifies itself as "Psync 2.10" in the title bar, not as the experimental be...

I am not up to speed on all the colours the directories seem to use; can you tell me, in particular, what a green coloured directory signifies?

You don't get the download packages option in Precise 5.6.1 . Actually, I think there is confusion because that option sometimes appears and sometimes doesn't. I don't have Precise 5.6.1, but the following is based on experimenting with Precise 5.6 and 5.7.1 (which have identical PPM scripts). Here...

As mikeb said, it depends upon what is included in the value. The memory data provided by the htop utility is actually consistent with the memory data provided by the top utility. The problem is that it is labeled incorrectly by htop. Pressing F1 for help in htop shows the format of the "memory...

I have seen that my windows key is assigned to mod4 so key mask=4 was right. Good. So Super_L is mod4. So, since it isn't working for you, your keymap probably doesn't map keycode 115 to Super_L. Some keymaps (including the Spanish keymap) don't assign any symbol to keycode 115. You can customize y...

Hi Moose, Thanks for sharing your rewrite of Psync. You have some good ideas. I especially like the compact dialog box that will fit easily on a 640x480 screen with room to spare. And the ability to quickly link to pschedule to automatically re-sync the clock every day or so is a nice feature. Feel ...

As for that .pet file, I'm not familiar with it, but it is certainly possible that it had something to do with the change you saw. Probably not, though.
