Condensed fonts in Mozilla menues etc.
Hi, restarting after some weeks of uptime and upgrading testing suddenly gives me condensed sans-serif fonts in the menues, bookmarks, URL field, forms etc. of Mozilla with xft. Searching with Google and the BTS gave nothing. Does anybody have a clue what's wrong or how to correct that?

I have a Sagem Fast 800 USB here that sort of works, it's good enough for me when I'm home, but not reliable enough for a server, sometimes it loses connection and then (of course) the machine can no longer be reached from outside. If I really needed to I could try a newer driver and/or a watchdog that restarts it, though.

Re: Thinkpad and Serial Port
Hi Kris, "Kris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Below is from the readme but I am still very new to linux. I have successfully > recompiled my kernel but below eludes me > what does it mean when it says use make-kpkg to make a module. Please advise You need to install kernel-package, it contains make-kpkg . I then use make-kpkg clean && fakeroot make-kpkg --us --uc --config menuconfig --revision=freitag.1 --append-to-version -2 --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image modules_image freitag is the name of my machine, and the --append-to-version -2 is counted up so that modules from different compiles end up in different directories. The clean is just in case, your mileage may vary. This creates binary packages for the kernel and every modules package, which I then install, reboot, and presto. Be careful to point to a specific known-to-work kernel as the old one to boot in lilo.conf . The kernel packacke install always moves the /vmlinuz link to /vmlinuz.old, so if you use that one and have two non-working kernel in a row it's time to look for a bootable CD.

Is there anything I should > know about doing this ? I think that should work fine, but simulate first by % apt-get -s install tomcat before doing the real install, that way you see what will be done and avoid some nasty surprises. For upgrade it is even more important. > However, I believe that there's a better way, using apt-get 0.5. > how would I get apt-get 0.5, which is in TESTING ? See above :-) > How would I do this, and Look into the man pages for apt.conf and apt_preferences. In particular you can put both testing and stable in your sources.list and specify a default release in apt.conf . I have stable, testing and unstable in my sources list, and a default release of stable. In addition I'm playing with pins in /etc/apt/preferences to make it prefer testing over unstable. It works reasonably well, but it is not quite perfect yet (it has no mind reading module :-). Jürgen -- Jürgen Stuber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.loria.fr/~stuber/

Write 'debug' on a single line in /etc/ppp/peers/provider, try to connect and look into /var/log/syslog to see what's going on.

I have the same problem with ssh, it's explained here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=102619&repeatmerged=yes Now I'm trying to install a name server for my 198.192.0.x private network.
