.bashrc
Where should environmental variables be set to be accepted at boot in order to launch an application from anywhere from terminal window as root? I tried moving .bashrc (where the env variable are written) from my home to either /root or /boot/grub Neither worked. Of course I checked that setting manually the env variables from terminal window as root worked correctly. Also. .bashrc worked correctly to launch the application as user. Why launching as root? It is another story, surely of no interest to anyone else than me. Thanks for answering francesco pietra

The direct answer to your question would probably to set the setuid bit
of those applications and set the owner to root. This is not very safe,
however. Somewhat better may be to install sudo ('run application as
root').
Yet a better way may be to try to explain which programs you
want to run as root and why.
You are right, though I have nothing to hide. I have setup a pivot_root install
of knoppix, which provides a quasi-debian and which I use on other people
hardware when visiting institutions, lijke recently in the South Seas. This
saves the burden of a notebook and costed 115 euros only. If op hardware has at
least 1GB ram, applications run faster that on true debian on the same
hardware. Now, having broken the X system on etch (following upgrade, dropping
in version mismatch), and having met difficulties in reestablishing it, while
attempting to solve the problem, I use that pivot. One of my small
computational application (mol mechanics) requires env variables to be launched
from terminal window from anywhere. Placing a script saves the burden of
writing the env variables each time.
cheers

problems running fglrx drivers
Hello all, I am having problems with my ATI video board and fglrx driver, in debian etch amd64. I already install the packages fglrx, and make the fglrx kernel module without errors. I can start the Xorg environment with xinit or running kde, gnome, etc. But if I try to go back the virtual consoles (ctrl+alt+[1-6] ) my machine freezes. If I click on shutdown or restart buttons, or if I exec 'shutdown -r now at a konsole or gnome-terminal, the machine freezes. Ati, vesa or vga drivers don't work. At /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I dont have any errors. My video board is an ATI Radeon 256MB PCI-E. Anyone can help me with this? Best Regards, -- Eder L.

Re: problems running fglrx drivers
My video board is an ATI Radeon 256MB PCI-E. There approximately 16 different ATI Radeon graphics chipsets in use which appear on a PCI-E bus and feature 256MiB of memory. You need to be more precise if you want a helpful answer - especially with the curious vesa doesn't work statement. --Jo Shields -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Linux kernel 2.6.19 is out
Dear friends, Linux kernel 2.6.19 was released today on kernel.org. I hope it reaches Debian unstable soon. This kernel fixes most freezing problems under AMD64.
