Adding sound to Iceweasel

Iceweasel problem with youtube sound

I'm using debian squeeze and like it. Unfortunately Iceweasel browser does not have sound support for flash. I've checked installed packages using next command:

debian:/etc/iceweasel# aptitude search flash

p flashbake - automated snapshots with git

v flashblock -

p flashgot - transitional dummy package

i flashplugin-nonfree - Adobe Flash Player — втулок переглядача

i flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound - Adobe Flash Player platform support library for Esoun

p flashrom - Identify, read, write, erase, and verify BIOS/ROM/fla

p flashybrid - automates use of a flash disk as the root filesystem

v iceape-flashgot -

v icedove-flashgot -

v iceweasel-flashblock -

v iceweasel-flashgot -

p m16c-flash - Flash programmer for Renesas M16C and R8C microcontro

p python-webflash - Portable flash messages for Python WSGI applications

p tvflash - Mellanox firmware update utility

p vrflash - tool to flash kernels and romdisks to Agenda VR

p xul-ext-flashblock - mozilla extension to block Adobe Flash content

p xul-ext-flashgot - Turns every supported download manager into a downloa

v xulrunner-flashgot -

flashplugin is installed. It's OK. After this I've checked iceweasel config file:

cd /etc/iceweasel/

debian:/etc/iceweasel# ls

iceweaselrc pref profile

debian:/etc/iceweasel# vim iceweaselrc

and change value of ICEWEASEL_DSP from 'none' to 'auto'

# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use

ICEWEASEL_DSP="auto"

After this I restarted browser and got a sound.

  debian,  amavis,  virus inside archive   One my client asked informed me, that amavis skips some files types. mail server configuration is really simple: Postfix as SMTP server and  amavis working as context filter. Also amavis runs spamassasin and clamd antivirus. Amavis gets files from attachment and unpack it. lha file is not detected. short investigation First I deceided to run amavis  in debug mode and verify how virus passed postix+amavis.  root@newserver:/var/lib/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis stop [ ok ] Stopping amavis (via systemctl): amavis.service. root@newserver:/var/lib/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis debug Trying to run amavisd-new in debug mode.

Postfix can not start via systemd (simple fix)

Solving problem related to systemd process I like postfix.   This is really smart and secure mail server. I'm helping above  dozen clients around the world and  tunning  postfix is really fun task. This morning I was downgrading postfix  to the stable version for one of the my friends and come across interesting issue.  root@newserver:/etc/init.d# systemctl status postfix ● postfix.service Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad) Active: inactive (dead) since вт 2017-06-13 14:35:41 EEST; 1h 48min ago Main PID: 25145 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) чер 13 14:47:09 newserver systemd[1]: Stopped postfix.service. чер 13 14:47:29 newserver systemd[1]: Stopped postfix.service. чер 13 14:58:22 newserver systemd[1]: Stopped postfix.service. чер 13 14:58:23 newserver systemd[1]: Stopped postfix.service. чер 13 15:05:20 newserver systemd[1]: Stopped postfix.service. чер 13 15:29:06 newserver systemd[1]: Stopped postfix.service. чер 13 15:29:06 newserver systemd[1]: Stopp
