Re: Sound on via8233

[Mark]

I've got alsa working with the via8233 southbridge.  I'm running
unstable so I have access to the alsa 1.0 sources, but I'm currently
using alsa compiled with 0.9.0rc6 I believe.  I found the following site
at linuxorbit to be very helpful:
http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541&page=1
I've found alsa to be a joy, although I can't wait for 2.6 when it'll be
included in the kernel.  That'll alleviate all of these problems with
getting it installed & configured (hopefully).  Oh, I'm using the
2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel, and I haven't had as much luck with the 2.4.20-686
kernel.  But, to be honest I haven't really tried all that hard with
it.  Goodluck.

Not so.  "exim" is a base package.  That doesn't mean that "exim4" would
have to be a base package.  It would just be another _optional_ package.

It need not be structured as an upgrade of a base package.

These people need to turn up thier debconf priority to get fewer
warnings so they only get the more critical ones.

Problem is a lot of people ignore those warnings.  That's because most of
the time the warning is meaningless in that they warn people of a config file
change that could cause problems and in 99.9% of the time it doesn't.  It
leads to the "yeah, yeah, whatever" syndrome.

Also since Exim is a base package a little more care has to go into it. 
If it were an optional package sure, they could do that.  However an upgrade
of a base package can cause serious problems if not handled properly. 
Considering Debian's well deserved reputation of stability is it any wonder
that a problem like this exists.

Finally, how would one package a later version of Exim without it
resulting in an upgrade on automatic runs?  Do we really need to start putting
the version number in the package name now, IE exim4?  That's about the only
way I see it getting around it as I think even the epoc(?) notation will go
for a higher epoc.

It's under kernel debugging in menuconfig.  Or you can add

Sid changes daily and has no installer for it, so odds are there are
no ISO's for it.  I've never seen any.  Best method is to install
stable then change your sources list to include sid, and upgrade that
way.  Sid has kde3.1.

I would leave this one at it's original score, since this one is an
automated BL and adds hosts that are currently spamming and removes
them in a timely manner when they stop (well under a week in the vast
majority of cases).  I think SBL means "Spamcop BL" in this case.

I would also *strongly* recommend not sending tagged mail to
/dev/null, but rather a dropbox so you can check it and run nonspam
through spamassassin -k so the Bayesian filter can get it right next

Get your netblock delegated to you, then, and resolve it on your own.

Yes, this affects u too.
get the patch and then man patch to learn how to apply the patch.
one thing though, the patch is applied to the source files and u
would have to recompile the kernel after that. If u'r not scared of
that, go ahead and upgrade.

I would include just the ~blade line for xfree86, my backport lines for
gnome2.2, and official woody.  Then do:

apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade

This should show you everything that will be upgraded.  Feel free to say
yes unless packages you want are being removed.  If you did the above,
now do:

apt-get install gnome-core gdm gtk2-engines*

Hopefully this will get you there.  If not, make sure that something
isn't being pinned in /etc/apt/preferences or a setting in
/etc/apt/apt.conf isn't holding things up.  If all this fails, post the
complete output of apt-get to the list.

Most of my upgrades have been from gnome1.4 on official woody.  However,
one of my computers I upgraded from the gnome2.0 backport on woody
without problems (though configuration in .gnome2, etc wasn't quite
right-- though easy to fix).

Re: Sound on via8233

[George Georgalis]

lspci (might need to install it) will be very helpful.

I have a similar board and this is the output, less add on cards...

00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133] (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133 AGP]

00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev

I have compiled my own kernel, these configs where what I needed when I
built my it...

CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX=y
CONFIG_MIDI_VIA82CXXX=y
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y
CONFIG_SOUND_TRACEINIT=y
# CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_AD1816 is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_SGALAXY is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_ACI_MIXER is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_CS4232 is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_SSCAPE is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_GUS is not set
CONFIG_SOUND_VMIDI=y

so alsa does not seem _required_ (it may work) but I seem to recall
sound did not work with the standard kernel.

You may have missed one of these two options when you compiled your kernel. 
'dhclient' requires this, or you could use 'pump' which doesn't require one 
or both.

Yes, certainly, if you rely on your backup, both test and verify.

What I was getting at specifically was that after experimenting with
rdiff-backup, I found it problematic.

It very well could be that I did something stupid, or that the software
sucks, or that my computer is punishing me for being a US aggressor. I
dunno. 

I was merely interested in provoking due diligence for those who choose
to employ that particular software.

The gnome 2.0 lines are out of my sources.list!
Even forcing 'apt-get install xfree86-common' from
people.debian.org/~blade doesn't seem to do the trick;
there must be other dependency issues as to why
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' wasn't sufficient
to pull in the new XFree86 once the
people.debian.org/~blade source had been added to my
list.
Any ideas?
'apt-get install gnome' doesn't work either as I get
the error message

  gnome: Depends: gnome-core (= 21) but it is not
going to be installed
 Depends: galeon or
  galeon-snapshot but it is not

Like, a tar file in /usr/src that a *-source package installed?  You
can unpack it in /usr/src, or unpack it somewhere else and set the
MODULE_LOC environment variable to point to the resulting modules/
directory.  You also need a kernel source tree that was built using
kernel-package.

(In other words, I think you can't do this without full kernel source,
since make-kpkg wants to get information about things like the
revision of the kernel out of the files in the debian/ directory.  The
kernel-headers/kernel-build packages don't seem to provide this data.)

Kernel Recompile Issue

[Irish, Jon D MEVATEC]

I just recompiled my kernel to get sound working. I used 2.4.20, and sound is now 
working fine :-) However, my network connection is now dead.  I selected it when I 
compiled the kernel (it is a 3com 3c905C), and dmesg reveals that it was found and 
loaded. ifconfig shows it, but there is not IP address assigned to it. If I try 
dhclient eth0, I get no errors, but no address either. /etc/network/interfaces looks 
fine (even has the DHCP switch). What am I missing here?

Not quite if this meets your requirements, but how about using split?
'man split' indicates that you can split by bytes, lines etc. would
(gzip|bzip)ing your file and then splitting the resulting file work?
-Mark

Mark,

I never thought of that.  I tested your approach on a ~500K zip file.  I 
split it into two 256K files then cat-ed them back together into another 
file.  I ran the md5sum on both files and they checked out.  Then, just to 
be sure, I booted over to windoze and unzipped them an ran the .exe file.

Everything worked great.  I appreciate your advice.

And, on a related note, once Flash is disabled, is there a way to
prevent Mozilla from throwing up a "do you want to download the
appropriate plugin?" dialog every time you load a page that uses
Flash?

Yes, this affects your kernel, assuming it is the stock Debian
kernel.  You can either download the kernel sources, patch it,
and compile a new kernel yourself, or wait for the Debian team
to release an updated kernel (if they haven't already).

The device is probably /dev/hdd, then, so try /dev/hdd4. Also, to see
the partition table, use 'fdisk /dev/hdd' and print the table.

You should be able to see hdd somewhere in dmesg. If not, you may not
have built the necessary kernel modules.

Couldn't they just package 4.x as exim4 and leave 3.x as is for those
already using it?  Then if someone installs 4.x, display several

Just watch out in the case of systems which might run microfots as

soundproblem KDE 3.1

People.

What am I missing here?

System is an IBM 300 PL (PII 300MHz), with CS4232 soundchip on board. 
kernel 2.4.18, Debian.
Sound was working with KDE2. I upgraded to KDE3.1.

I was not able to upgrade earlier because I forgot to install kmix as 
appeared 2 days ago.
So I did and the system went upgrading to KDE3.1 (at last solved that 
problem!). Looks nice BTW.

Bad news, sound has gone.
I didn't change the kernel during this upgrade. Modules compiled in on 
this moment:
ModuleSize   Used byNot tainted
cs423235200
uart40160800 [cs4232]
ad1848   20736   0 [cs4232]
sound  52172   0 [cs4232 uart401 ad1848]

In KDE3.1 I don't hear anything, not in autodetect, /dev/dsp nor /dev/audio.
I installed wavtools: wavp plays *.wav from cli (prompt) perfectly (only 
very soft)
cat plays *.au sounds on /dev/sound and /dev/dsp

In /etc/modules.conf in find nothing in it for sound/snd/ALSA/OSS or 
whatever. Is that OK?

What do I do from here? any clues? Help?

TIA.

I dont know much about this stuff but try copying the file instead of

Well, __iob is reasonably portable because it looks like it's a standard
part of a System V libc. In theory, I think glibc is supposed to support
the System V ABI, but it doesn't seem to have an __iob[]. I don't think
__iob is specified in any other standard, and different versions of the
System V ABI standard don't even define it in quite the same way.

Even if it did have an __iob[] you probably shouldn't be relying on
somebody else to keep track of the files you have open. You're the only
one who knows (or at least you're supposed to know) why you have files
open, so you should usually be trying to make an informed decision about
what to do with them.

Thinking ahead about things like that is a good habit, I've had no end
of headaches from listening to programmers going on about how the
compiler/runtime/server/whatever "should do that for me" when you tell
them their code is crashing because they didn't think about the side
effects of what they were doing.

I think the main reason why Debian is still on the 3.x series is because
it is the default mailer for Debian and with the 4.x series Exim broke
config file compatibility.  I remember reading somewhere that because of that
combination a utility to convert configuration files needed to be made and
that hasn't happened yet.

You can always select the address with the mouse, hit 'a', type in an
alias name, and when it presents the suggested address delete it (using
Ctrl-U) and paste. Clumsy but works and saves you editing the alias file
manually. You could almost certainly knock up a script to do what pine

Local Root Hole

I recently read on slashdot.com the following.

xepsilon writes "A local Linux security hole using ptrace has been
discovered that allows a potential attacker to gain root privileges. Linux
2.2.25 has been released to correct this security hole, along with a patch

Dear Sir,
I would suggest that you delete the signature (but the name) of the original 
poster when replying to a mailing list like debian-user. In this case at 
least the PGP signature. The content of this email is not such that it really 
need pgp encryption anyway.

Please see this as a friendly advice. It is up to you if you want to pay

How do I 'tar' a huge file?

[Roberto Sanchez]

I have a VMWare virtual machine image of ~3.5GB, that I need to tar (and 
hopefully gzip) into multiple (relatively) smaller archives that I can 
backup onto CD-R.

I know that if I invoke tar with -L and give it the media size in KB, I can 
generate a multivolume archive.  However, when I give tar the file name in 
which to store the archive it overwrites the file for each volume (since I 
can't actually change the media).

So, I thought I would get smart and open two terminals and when I was 
prompted to change media and press return, I would go to the second terminal 
and change the name of the file from archive.tar to archive01.tar (and so on 
in a one up manner).

This actually worked in that I was able to store the whole file into 
seperate archives.  But, when I tried to untar, it failed on the first file, 
saying it encountered an unexpected EOF.

Am I missing something here? or can this simply not be done?

No it doesn't.  VNC implementations (and the protocol itself) have no

Someone with a packet sniffer can get your password, then all bets are

What I do is first ssh to the server and use local port forwarding to

libxrender pacakges to fix xft2 crashes (esp mozilla) underxfree86 4.2

[James D Strandboge]

The render code in xfree86 that is in xfree86 4.2.1 has a bug which will
cause xft2 enabled apps (like mozilla and gnome 2.2) to crash if strings
are too long.  See:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186704

Though mozilla triggers this quite frequently, any xft2 enabled app is
affected by it.

I created new packages called libxrender1.1 and libxrender-dev that
simply replaces the buggy render code with the patched code.  The code
is taken from fcpackage from http://www.fontconfig.org (the same source
that provides libxft2).  These packages are for debian woody using a
xfree86 4.2 backport (eg from http://people.debian.org/~blade).

These packages are not required under Official debian woody since no
packages in woody use xft2, and won't be required in debian unstable
once 4.3 completed.  The packages are mainly for people using unofficial
xfree86, mozilla-xft and gnome2.2 packages on woody who don't want to
recompile all of xfree86.  Others may find some use from them.

The packages can be found with my gnome2.2 (actually 2.2.1 now) backport
at:

deb
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody/ 
gnome2.2/

deb http://mirror.raw.no/ gnome2.2/

They should hit the above mirrors tonight.

Simply do:
apt-get install libxrender1.1

You can optionally get libxrender-dev for dev files.  Sources are
available also.  

These packages divert the xlibs files they replace, so uninstalling them
leaves xlibs and xlibs-dev intact.  Also, the packages will uninstall
themselves when upgrading to xfree86 4.3.

Well, yeah, kinda...  It is just a holding area, after all.  Your

Agreed, if you intend to use the holding disk as a primary repository
for your backups.  Its intended purpose is to allow backups to be run
faster than the actual backup device is capable of writing data to
tape, but it also works well as failover in case of problems with the
tape drive, tapes not getting changed, etc.  Within the bounds of the
intended purpose, putting it in a different server is likely to be
counterproductive since access speed would be reduced.

Yup.  Basically my point:  If you have a TB of real data to back up,
I can't imagine that it wouldn't be worth enough to warrant either
buying a robot or hiring a monkey to swap tapes as needed.

If you've got a live backup that can be brought online with just an

The reasons you give would all spoil a backup from 5 minutes ago just
as readily as one from yesterday or last week.  What I was wondering
about was why you "assume 'yesterdays or last weeks' tape/disk/
backups is BAD".

In theory, yeah, that's possible.  In practice, going back to a two-
or three-week old full and then applying all the daily incrementals
will be equivalent (aside from taking more time to perform) in almost
all cases.  Also keep in mind that amanda spreads fulls out over the
dump cycle rather than doing them all at once, so a single tape
failure can't take out all of my most recent fulls.  (The down side,
of course, is that it will take out at least one of them.)

Sound on via8233

[Notivago]

 Hello, All!!!

 I´ve installed Debian Woody r3 on my home box about
two weaks ago and I´ve gone trought the "video-card
instalation saga" with minimal losses. But, then,
comes the sound, I´ve got the /dev/dsp permisson
denied, with the help of the Archives, I've solved it,
then I´ve got /dev/dsp no such device, to the archives
again, then I found out that the sound modules were
not installed and decided to go the Alsa way, get my
inst cd´s and dselected alsa (wich is 0.5something),
bla bla bla -> started the sound config, wich sees my
card as a via82cxx, tries to run some sample and
crashes. Back to achives, how-tos and alsa.org.
Finally I found out that my bord was misdetected,
searching the specs of my mb, it is a via apollo kt333
with the via8233a southbridge chip set.
 I do not have internet at home, each time I try
something, I have to wait to come back to work,
search, print, go to home and try it overnigth. 
 There is somebody with a configuration that works
within the base original alsa into debian woody inst
cd?

 Thanx
 leonardo.

That is correct.  You can't count on a tape to still be where you
left it if you relinquish control of it for even a moment, so amanda
rewinds the tape and starts from the beginning each time.

However, the latest version of amanda sounds like it has explicit
backup-to-disk support (according to what I've read on the amanda
mailing list), which might work a little better with CDRs.

> If I wait 
> until the end of the week, assuming I've accumulated only 500-600MB of

It could, but it's not quite how amanda is designed to work.  In
normal operation, amanada puts some full backups and some
incrementals onto each tape with the objective of equalizing the
amount of data on each tape.

> What if it 
> accumulated more than would fit on a disk, would it span multiple disks?

Amanda can spread a backup run across multiple tapes, but cannot span
tapes within a single disklist entry.

> Also, if you wait until the end of the week, does Amanda keep multiple 
> generations of the files modified during that week in the holding disk, 
> or only the most recent modification?

Amanda ignores the fact that the backups will not be going to tape
so, assuming you run it each night, you will get a version of each
file for each day on which is was changed (and for each day that its
disklist entry has a full backup, of course).

"ou=Roaming" used to be used for Netscape's roaming profile
support.  I usually create another organizational unit
("ou=users") for user accounts and put regular address book
entries under the People organizational unit.

There is no certain way you *HAVE* to do it, you're free to
create organizational units and use them how you see fit.

Re: Mounting 250mb Zip Drive (Internel)

Are you using scsi-emulation? If not, then your drive will be in
/dev/hd

As you say it's on the same cable as the cdrom, it will be "c" or "d"

If your cd-rom is /dev/hdc, your zip will be /dev/hdd

Check for messages about those devices in `dmesg` or /var/log/kernel.
You'll find the wanted info over there.

Now, if you have scsi-emulation... how is your cdrom device called?

smbclient and ISO8859-15

[Emilio Murcia]

Hi,

I am accessing a (spanish) M$ WinXP PC from my Debian box. I mount the 
Window$ drives with the help of LinNeighborhood (which invokes smbclient 
to do the job). Everything goes ok, but I am unable to see the local 
characters (like ö, ¤, ñ and so on) correctly.

What do I have to do? I tried to modify the /etc/samba/smb.conf, adding 
a "character set = iso8859-15" entry, but nothing changed... I've 
noticed that a /usr/share/samba/smb.conf file exists on my system. Maybe 
LinNeighborhood forces smbclient to use this conf file instead of the 
Debian default one?

Thanks for any help you can provide me...

Emilio

 AuthType  Basic

Works consistantly.

I have almost the same config for users home dir, and thats working
fine. The only difference is that I use "Require valid-user" insted of
the config above.

What user your apache runs under, it should run under www-data. if it
does on your computer, your apache user can't read this file. you should
make it owned by www-data.www-data, and with permissions=600.

I used the new libc6 package from unstable. It doesn't conflict with

Yep ;-) And I just found out I didn't had to use mail2alias.py for that to
work... I've read all the mutt manual yesterday and I'm quite sure that
"action" is not documented there :(
I believe it's just a keybinding or macro (don't know the difference) 
that's defined in the default .muttrc or maybe /etc/Muttrc. For all I know, 
that keybinding just calls something similar to "mail2alias.py" (???).


Anyway, that is still not what I wanted. For instance, what I get when I
press "a" with and e-mail that has this header
-From: "Diogo Quintela (EF)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,...
is that "a" allows me to get "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but what I wanted was that
it allowed me to select from a list, just like pine allows...
For instance, it could do like this:
"
Multiple e-mail addresses found. Please choose the one you want:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"
For instance, what if someone tells you, in a mail:

" From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Hi! About your problem, please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ! "
How do you take that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" address? write it down in a
paper, exit mutt, add alias to file, enter mutt? (or some other
combination of these actions, whatever)
mutt is just looking at certain headers, not text in the body of a message. 
Keep using your current method. :-)

I ran into this some months ago, so my memory is a little foggy.
However, I'm 90% sure I fixed it by removing one of the following
options from ~/.gpg/options :

  force-v3-sigs
  rfc1991
  digest-algo md5
  load-extension rsa
  load-extension idea

Sorry for being imprecise; I hope this puts you on the right track!

Yep ;-) And I just found out I didn't had to use mail2alias.py for that to
work... I've read all the mutt manual yesterday and I'm quite sure that
"action" is not documented there :(

Anyway, that is still not what I wanted. For instance, what I get when I
press "a" with and e-mail that has this header

-From: "Diogo Quintela (EF)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,...

is that "a" allows me to get "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but what I wanted was that
it allowed me to select from a list, just like pine allows...
For instance, it could do like this:
"
Multiple e-mail addresses found. Please choose the one you want:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"

For instance, what if someone tells you, in a mail:

" From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Hi! About your problem, please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ! "

How do you take that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" address? write it down in a
paper, exit mutt, add alias to file, enter mutt? (or some other
combination of these actions, whatever)

See the question now?
Thank you ;-)


And Btw, what is "mail2alias.py" used to? Or it has become obsolete
because mutt integrated the functionality?

Nate means that you should edit/create the "/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config" 
file as root. The file should already be there, and if you execute the 
command
   echo "allowed_users=console" >/etc/X11/Xwrapper.confi
you'll overwrite whatever file is already there. So I'd suggest editing 
the file instead (with nano, or joe, or vi, or whatever editor you're 
comfortable with). My file looks like:

allowed_users=console
nice_value=-10
and the permissions on it are like so:
-rw-r--r--1 root root   37 Mar 21  2001 
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

The reason Nate is having you do it as root is because the file is only 
writable by the owner, which is root. Once this file has been changed so 
that allowed users is set to console, any user who sits down in front of 
the physical machine should be able to start X. It's probably currently 
set to "rootonly", which of course means only root can start X. You can 
read more about it with "man Xwrapper.config".

Subject: IRC under NAT
 

I´m using Debian 3.0r1 with kernel 2.4.19 as a iptables firewall

I have internal webservers that I need to publish as Internet Sites For
   

this
 

manipulation I´m using Apache ProxyPass. The site works perfectly under
apache.. even when the internal host is an ISS.
1. How can I do it without apache proxypass, using iptables?

2. This internal webserver also have a IRC server... how can I manipulating
   

iptables, to the external hosts use this internal IRC server, since i´monly
   

"sharing" the httpd via apache proxypass?

both this problems can be solved with simple port-forwarding like so:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i  -s  -p tcp 
--dport 80 -j DNAT --to 
iptables -A FORWARD -i  -s  -o  -d 
 -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state 
NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i  -s  -o  -d 
 -p tcp --sport 80 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED 
-j ACCEPT

This is for HTTP, for IRC simply chnage to --dport 6667 (or whatever 
port youre running your ircd on)

3. Since I´m using apache proxypass I defined in virtualhosts that
'/internalhost' leads to http://192.168.0.69:8080 , and I need to mantain
that www.foo.com/internalhost , but using iptables someway. And I need the
ircd of this internal server, responds via the same host. I´d like to
mantain my apache since it´s in use... Is it possible? OR I´ll have to put
this apache in another internal host, and them using iptables for
manipulating?
   

Since the Iptables settings above simply forward all traffic coming into 
port 80 to the internal server, the apache on the firewall will not be 
accessible, you'll need to run it on another host or on a different port.

IFireBall.

You will need to 'preload essential modules from a floppy'. Try
downloading http://people.debian.org/~blade/preload-2.4.20.bin and
dd-ing it to a floppy.

The module versions have to match the kernel version you booted from.
The one that worked for me was the minimal bf2.4 installation cd
image.

/var Permissions

[Barak Korren]

Hellow.

I've recently attempted to move my /var directory form the root 
filesystem to a new filesystem I created on my hardrive, unfortunately I 
neglected to command "cp" to preserve the files' ownerships while 
copying the files form the old /var directory.

While most things seem to be working fine with this (mosf of the files 
were seem to have been owned by root:staff anyway) some things dont:

1. Exim - I managed to get it to work by chownning the /var/log/mail and 
/var/spool/mail to mail:adm and chawning the users' spool files to be 
owned by the users - I hope this is the way it should be.
2. MySql - It doesn't work. it seems to be a problem with 
/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock but it doesn't seem to be there, maybe I 
should change the directoryes permission? to what?
3. ws-imapd Seems to be working _very_ slow when accessing a user's 
primary spool file, can it have a problem with creating a lockfile or 
something?

Is there somwhere I can find a good specification to what the file 
permissions should be?
Is there a tool that can fix it all up for me?

scrambled X11-fonts (looks like an inkjet printing, with empty ink-cartridge)

[Felix Erkinger]

My apologies, for reposting this, but any idea, where
to further investigate on this issue ?

Something (while updating) my X11 setup changed, 
and the fonts displayed by the X11-Server are looking like
printed by an inkjet printer with an empty ink-cartridge.
(They are punctured with holes in it) 
 
I was not aware of changing something inside my X11-Setup,
but, as i have nothing big installed inside X11, 
i decided to reinstall X11 (and did a purge of the configuration).
 
After reinstalling a minimum X11 Setup, the problem remained, 
tweaking around the font setup, and looking at other posted
X11 Setups, i didnt get a clue whats wrong.
 
Somebody else encounterd that funny looking issue ?
 
Many thanks in advance,
Felix.

One thing I had to do to avoid missing important mail is to zero the
scores for some tests:

score RCVD_IN_MULTIHOP_DSBL 0
score RCVD_IN_RFCI 0
score RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM 0
score RCVD_IN_UNCONFIRMED_DSBL 0
score RCVD_IN_SBL 0
score X_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC 0

I get important message from quite a few servers included in those lists
(including one of the servers I manage). Sometimes it's not possible for
the admin to remove it (as in my case). We have a DLS connection, and
there's only ONE company which provides such service in my area.
And guess what? Both home and busines users will get blacklisted IPs,
because the company wasn't competent enough to interact with the
blacklist owners and fix some issues.

I do something like "If bogofilter doesn't catch it, run it through
spamassassin". Works well (most spam is caught by bogofilter, but some
gets through, and SA tags it as SPAM).

I assume you mean as a normal user you CANNOT go to X windows..

this usually is because of the Xwrapper config..

check your /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config , the default should have:
allowed_users=console
if you don't have this file, create it. simple way:

startx should work after that, assuming that was the problem, if
