Solfa, Magazine CDs are usually cheapest quality due to its free bee status. Most CD press houses do not inspect CD for that category.

You should be able to launch apps remotely to X if you ssh with X forwarding enabled.

As far as I remember, changing the device=.. is the only

Re: this beeping makes me sick
hi. not sure if this has been answered yet, but this works for me: ( for inclusion in ~/.bashrc ) echo -e "\\33[10;20]" the '-e' has something to do with getting bash to understand escape-sequences such as the \\33 apparently indicates. ( 33 is the numeric id for ASCII 'ESC' ) the '10' is a part of the escape-sequence that specifies something like 'bell volume' or, more likely, 'bell frequency' ( in hertz, Hz) . the '20' is an out-of-range frequency , so it disables the bell. ...that explanation is coming from a fuzzy memory of it, and might not be 100% right, but hopefully the command will work regardless. & this doesn't seem to disable the bell under x-windows, but it should work for the console. -- s.c.

modul installation problems
Why is it that, when installing the kernel moduls in debian 2.1 I had no problem installing the network card (3c509) and the printer (lp); I just hit the "enter" and the modul was installed, and now can not install the printer port, no metter what I do, the modul installation always fails. Az for the network card installing 3x509 sometimes the installation succeds, and sometimes not. When the installation fails, I have to restert the installation (and restart the computer to). After this the 3c509 installs just fine (by just hitting the enter)? Attila

I have 2 potato systems, #1 is a Slink upgraded to Potato box. On this box I have /dev/mouse linked to /dev/ttyS1 and have in /etc/gpm.conf 'device=/dev/ttyS1'. Mouse works fine in X and console. This box does not have a /dev/gpmdata entry. On box #2 I had problems with the upgrade so I did a new install of potato from cd's. I use the same /etc/gpm.conf as box 1. I tried linking ./dev/mouse to /dev/ttyS1 and the Mouse didn't work in X. I then linked /dev/mouse to /dev/gpmdata. Mouse works in X and console now. This and other problems lead me to think that a new install sets the system up differently the an upgrade does. ie box #1 does not have any /dev/ttya or /dev/ptya devices but box #2 does. The latest version of Splitvt works on box 2, using /dev/ttya* devices but gives an error of 'no available pseudo terminals' and an strace shows a failure on /dev/ptya not being there. I didn't see these problems in going from 2.0 to 2.1. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) -- Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it. ___

file ownership
In Potato, I'm installing qt-2.0.1 from a tar.gz. After uncompressing, unpacking and re-naming the directory 'qt', I checked its permissions and found owner and group given as '508'. On a previous occasion, when compiling some other software (forgotten what), I noticed its owner and group was shown as 'staff'. I presume this is the work of the software producer and not Debian. Can anyone explain the significance of '508' and say if I can safely change ownership or if some other course of action is desirable. Grateful for any assistance. John.

Can you start lpd by hand? I think there is a debug option leaving it in the foreground (maybe -F, have a look). It would be interesting why the daemon can't be started. If it starts, try printing again. I saw there is a bug-report concerning your problem (#45527).

Exim and DomainZero
Hi debianers. I've recently signed up with DomainZero to register my own domain (dlesage.com). Since I've got a cable connection at home, I figured I'd try to set up exim to receive emails sent to (user)@dlesage.com. Outgoing messages work fine, but messages sent to (user)@dlesage.com never show up, but never bounce either. Of course, since DomainZero's documentation is terse (not to say non-existant), and my knowledge of exim is not much better, I have no clue if the problem is at exim's end or in my configuration of DomainZero's email record. Can anyone nudge me in the right direction, or at least ask me the right questions? Thanks, Dan.

Hi guys, I found this little bit of trivia interesting but I cannot figure out how it is happening. Under a friends RH box when I ssh into it from PuTTY it will change the titlebar to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: /directory. That's very cool, however, when I ssh into my debian box it just puts up domain.com - PuTTY. Does anyone know why/how this is happening for the RH box or how I could enable this type of behavior for the Debian box?

Any explanation? This is because someone has a full mailbox who subscribes to the list, the MTA that is handling their ISP thinks the mail came directly from you to them and sends you the notification. You will often see a similar problem with people who don't disable their mailing list subscriptions when they go on vacation or a business trip so you get an "away" message from them. Most mailing lists I get two or three every time I send a message. There is nothing the mailing list can do about it, it is caused by a subscriber's ISP having a misconfigured MTA. -- Harry Henry Gebel, Senior Developer, Landon House SBSICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware

I'm using woody as well, recently dist-upgraded, and for some reason that option is most definitely not in my lpr man page.

Hi, I figured out the why I was having that compatability problem. I had installed from a Corel Linux CD, then upgraded to potato, and now to woody.

Installing Lahey fortran (libc5?) in Potato
Hi! I want to install Lahey's fortran 95 compiler in my debian box. This is a vanilla (ish!) potato box which works fine. However, there is a little catch: the installer (which takes a key and licences the software, copies the files and so on) is a shell script that calls some programs. These programs seem to be linked against libc.so.5 and will not run. The installer detects the version of libc/glibc I'm running (glibc 2.1) without a glitch, but since these other executables are needed and are not being run, the installation isn't succesful. If I create a quick hack (ln -s :D) libc.so.5 to the real libc, the think segfaults (which is to be expected, I suppose). I have thought about compiling an older libc for installation purposes (I can always select which version of the compiler I want to install anyway), but I don't know how hard this is, and whether it might break my system. Does anyone have any views on this? They'd be appreciated (and especially if mailed directly!).

The "kernel_image" target makes the kernel and anything you chose to compile as a module.

OT: A question for those lucky souls who have a job with *nix
What is the best way to present yourself when searching for a *nix job. This is what is on my resume. Any suggestions for better things to mention. Skills I might want to pick up etc. Yes I know this is not really what this list is for. If you don't like it please let me know and I won't do it again. Any suggestions will earn tons of thanks.

After unpacking 1417kB will be used. When I want just one package from, say, unstable, I put the proper source lines in /etc/apt/sources.list (and nix any other source lines) and do a "apt-get source --build " If you have to right -dev packages, this seems a simpler solution than upgrading many packages unnecessarily. > > TIA > juh > > -- > 6 Millionen arme Sünderlein > http://www.sudelbuch.de/2000/2807.html > -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> But maybe good is more than the absence of bad. -- Hobbes in "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson

Support Ogg/Vorbis. http://www.ogg.org/ http://www.vorbis.com/ I believe the plan is to make a video codec. If it becomes popular enough (hint, hint) then perhaps we can look forward to hardware that supports the patent free Ogg/Vorbis. BTW, it's apparently much better than mp3 and comparable to the latest and greatest audio formats (sorry, I'm not sure what they are. see the website for more info). They have beta's of a player, encoder, xmms plugin, winamp plugin, and beos stuff as well I think.
