I think you got it wrong :-) Today's CSS styles techniques can split (x)html/xml output quite nicely and work great in all kinds all layouts (columns or whataever). Webmasters can make use of them and embed the code in their web pages (like does the code you referenced). That's the part it takes "web design". References: http://www.csszengarden.com/ http://www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/css-layouts/ But if I understood you correctly, you were looking for a way to dynamically change the layout of a web page you are viewing not designing, (you as "user", not as "webmaster"), and that is very hard. You can use browser add-ons and tell Firefox (or Chrome...) to use custom CSS styles for web pages but one CSS "does not fit all" so people makes CSS templates to specifically customize every site (the CSS template for Google does not work for Facebook and so...). In brief: you cannot change the layout design of every web page, only the person who makes the code of that page can. It's up to them, not you ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Well, if you still prefer going that path, just some points: - Check for Mediawiki 1.16 requirements an ensure yu fulfill all of them http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Installation - Mediawiki seems to be a php template driven package (you uncompress the tar.gz inside a folder in your web server and run the wizard) so I don't think you'll fall into many problems - Check the Debian page inside mediawiki: Get latest MediaWiki http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Debian_GNU/Linux Should you remove the old (lenny) package?

Scrolling of web pages with graphics is slow with frequent repainting of the complete web page from bottom to top which looks like a tidal wave on my screen. TExt pages do not seem to show this problem. 2. Clicking *just once* on the right scroll bar results in a complete scroll down as if I am clicking constantly. I suspect that it is a problem with the N(non-free) fglrx video driver because this does not happen onmy other PC which has a NVidia. Does anyone recognise these problems and/or has a solution?

Re: Debian 5 installation
You think, Cameleon, that I am picky because I think an OS with an automatic configuration should be able to correctly configure a Nvidia TNT2 video card with a CMedia sound board. Slackware and Zenwalk do a fine job of it. Let me say that in one regard you are mistaken You must register first before using this userlist. Secondly I don't appreciate you editing my messages! I know it makes you look great but it aint honest. You have told me absolutely nothing except to seek help from outside and it's probably the best piece of advice I have received.

This can be 2nd highest risk path. (One without back up is the worst.) I do not think you need to uninstall debian package. Installation via tar.gz path usually installs under /usr/local so it usually do not collide with Debian package as long as some services are properly turned off. This is normally a path we used to take on small system. The safer path is not to touch current set up and try any update activity on a separate instance of machine with a copy of your current system. Having another system for testing such things used to be luxury for most of us but it is getting not-so-expensive option using virtual machines or just by buying another cheap machine for experiment.

bash increment in a given way
It's ok, that i can use this, when i want an incrementing sequence, in a given
way:
# {START..END..INCREMENT}
$ for i in {0..10..2}; do echo "Welcome $i times"; done
Welcome 0 times
Welcome 2 times
Welcome 4 times
Welcome 6 times
Welcome 8 times
Welcome 10 times
$
but what's the "magic" for this? :
$ MAGIC; do echo "Welcome $i times"; done
Welcome 0 times
Welcome 1 times
Welcome 4 times
Welcome 5 times
Welcome 8 times
Welcome 9 times
$

Camaleón has earned her place on this list. As for the OP, he clearly doesn't understand a number of basic things about Debian and this list, such as: (1) While Debian may make closed-source drivers available in the non-free section of the archive, the stock Debian installer will *never* install a non-free driver by default. The Debian distribution is committed to being an all-free distribution. (That's free as in freedom, as well as in price.) Most other distributions do not have this commitment. If you don't like that, then don't use Debian. This is who we are, and this is what we do. As I compose this e-mail, I am using a computer running Debian squeeze which has a video card with an Nvidia RIVA TNT/TNT2 chipset, and using the free nv driver. (The default driver in squeeze for this card is nouveau; but nouveau does not work properly with interlaced video modes, which my monitor requires.) (2) As Camaleón correctly stated, it is not necessary to subscribe to the list in order to post to it. It is only necessary to subsribe to the list if you want to get postings to the list (including replies to your own postings) sent to you as e-mails. An alternative to subscribing is to use a web browser to browse the list archives. (See http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ for more information.) (3) Top posting is frowned upon around here. Please use the usenet style of quoting. Some e-mail clients adapt to this posting method more easily than others, but that's no excuse. My own e-mail client uses top posting by default, and I have to spend some time reformatting things. But I do it, because that's the way things are done around here. (4) Trimming posts is a normal part of the usenet quoting style. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting for more information.) When in Rome, do as the Romans do. (5) If you don't understand something, ask follow-up questions. Misunderstandings are to be expected when others can't see your screen, etc. But don't insult the people from whom you are trying to get free help. If you want to give verbal abuse to your support personel, then buy a paid support contract from somebody and abuse them, if they will stand for it; but don't treat your fellow users that way! It's not even in your own interests to do so. -- .''`. Stephen Powell : :' : `. `'` `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I have seen that report (and to be honest some more) but as it worked OK until recently (1-2 weeks ago) so I did not think that these reports were related to my problem. Also some of the reports mention problems with NVidia cards, whereas my other PC with a NVidia card works OK. It is actually quit annoying. Especially because it seems that after a while (> 4-5 hours of working on the pc) it starts to affect other applications, and I actually have to reboot my machine. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

And 'modprobe ndiswrapper' after setting up the 64-bit XP drivers results in 'unknown symbol' errors involving NDIS.SYS. So the final result is success using a native driver.

Weird icon colors in squeeze (ppc). Which package should i file a bug report for?
Since my upgrade to squeeze, many menu icons, scrollbars, and some images displayed in browsers have been displaying funky colors. I don't know which package is causing this bug, so can anyone offer any advice? Here is a picture of what I'm talking about, using the clearlooks theme: http://imgur.com/mK8Uv The other themes I've tried have the same issues, except for Amaranth (mostly). I noticed that the customization window doesn't allow color schemes for this theme. Also, I can change the iconset to the debian default and have no problems, despite the fact that these same icons are displaying poorly in other themes. However, if I customize the appearance of the "controls" in Aramanth to inherit from another theme, then everything looks just as bad as if I had selected one of the problematic themes. Here is some choppiness that is caused by scrolling up and down with one of the bad themes: http://imgur.com/Kb6zP This picture is of OpenOffice Draw. It seems to be using a different theme than Amaranth, so that might be why it is still kinda messed-up: http://imgur.com/Px8M6 I'm also noticing that the Debian icon in iceweasel looks blue sometimes. Some other icons on webpages do have issues as well. Sometimes, rolling over a bad image (or on the same latitude) with the mouse will fix it. Someone on irc suggested that this might be a bug in an image library, but I don't know which one is the culprit. Does anyone know which package this might be caused by, or which other package I should post the bug to in the meantime? Thanks, -Drew

right? I think so, because the following two nested loops do what you
want very easily:
for((i=0;i<=30;i+=4)); do
for((j=0; j<2;j++)); do
echo "Welcome $((i+j)) times";
done;

The USB barcode scanner versions that I have used so far all appear to the system as a keyboard. Scanning in a barcode acts as if the data were typed in at a keyboard. This type is fairly easy to use since there are no special drivers needed since the usb keyboard driver is already available. Unfortunately you appear to have a different type. > and i get this in dmesg: > [ 7014.401237] generic-usb: probe of 0003:04B4:BCA1.0008 failed with error -22 Perhaps the information in this thread will be of use. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112575 Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Sorry! The avi thing is a typo. I had written my example command, then I changed it to match your example command, but I forgot to change the name of the output file. It should have read: mencoder foo.mpeg \ -vf crop=720:352:0:64 \ -oac copy \ -ovc lavc \ -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video \ -o bar.mpeg Sorry for the confusion, Phil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I was about to do the same with this one when I remembered a Ubuntu-users thread/rant about floppies where the apparent solution was to keep the above lines in "/etc/fstab" and mount floppies with "udisks --mount /dev/fdX".

I don't even use a bookmark toolbar :-) Not having a clue as to what this thing is/does.. where the source is... who the blessed author is and how long he plans on staying alive and hopefully maintaining his creation... such as keeping abreast of browser upgrades in an timely fashion, for instance.. I'll pass on this one :-) All that stuff kinda reminds me.. of Microsoft Windows practices.. you drool, you click, and yet another piece of potential scumware graciously installs itself and infects your computer. Add-ons, indeed... Nothing personal, I assure you: To be honest, I did activate the bookmarks ‘bar’ in seamonkey and checked what this add-on does before (hopefully..?) removing it. If nothing else, playing with it gave me perspective in an area of computing I am totally unfamiliar with. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion. FYI, y'all.. css3's ‘column-width’ and ‘column-count’ may need a bit of tweaking my end yet, but that's what I was looking for.
