ANNOUNCE: New Logo and Feedback Page for the Debian Logo (v12)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi folks! I just installed the new Debian Logo Page (v12) today. You can have a look at it via http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-logo/ The new page contains 11 new and 13 old logos and uses HTML forms to make it easy for you to tell us your opinion. We collect all the comments we get this way and make a ``feedback page'' out of it. The current version contains 307 comments. Thanks a lot to all that told us their opinion! There is a new "Overview Page" which shows all logos that have been submitted so far, ordered by popularity! In addition, there is a new "Profile Page" for each logo that contains several versions of each logo (small, large, colored, grayscale, b/w). I reworked all pages today, so I appreciate _any_ comments, suggestions, or critics about the new pages.

Some minor post-install TUNINGs
As I told in my previous posting, I think Debian is great. But this does not imply that only _gurus_ may want to use it. It took some time to me to find out how to do some tunings after installing from scratch, nothing so important but anything unuseful I think. Here I give four attachments. Probably most readers on this mailing list can do better, but here I am. 1) Some lines which I decide to let survive both from the Debian default /etc/profile and from the one I have in an old Slackware (August '95); they provide setup - to show the current dir path in the shell prompt, - to have colors (red for gzipped) in files lists from ls (if going directly to a terminal, not e.g. to less or grep or a file) plus the eventual symbol for the file type (@ link, * executeable... so it is already ok also for a monochrome terminal), - to have less as a pager for man and to have ascii output from man (good - almost here - both in text mode console and in xterm sessions, otherwise in the former some strange characters are shown). 2) ls colors, to be set up be a call done by the previously attached sample /etc/profile script. It comes from Slackware August '95. 3) Done here under Debian 1.2.4, performs some tuning of X and fvwm2 OVERWRITING FILES, so please create some dir such as /looking/ and "untar" staying in it, and give a look comparing what YOU have and what is going to overwrite it, not only links to null.hook (nothing-doers, predispositions for plug-ins) but also Debian default files which you might already have modified, e.g. you may want to save your own /etc/X11/Xresources file and then overwrite mine, which is the Debian 1.2.4 default + lines I also copied to added-to-Xresources.cat, and finally add those lines to YOUR file with a command such as 'cat added-to-Xresources.cat >> Xresources'. Colors are rather dark and with not much contrast to minimize eyestrain (almost here with this pretty good display, otherwise if they are too dark to well read then take it as a hint on where to change those colors). - The desktop background color and a first xterm instance have been left to each user's ~/.xsession file (NOT ~/.xinitrc, which should take care of ANY of the actions otherwise performed by the global xinitrc file, which is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, actually a link to /etc/X11/Xsession; that clever script looks both at the system-wide and at the user's Xresources and Xmodmap files, and at the user's ~/.xsession file, and takes care of resources merge). - Xresources has been added default colors for emacs (grey on black instead of black on white) and default colors and font for xterm (grey background, 7x14 font). Notice that some xterm settings such as scrollbar presence are left to the invocation done by ~/.xsession or via the fvwm2 menu and will not be automatically "inherited" by xterm instances eventually coming from typing 'xterm &' in a scrollbar-fournished xterm session. - The fvwm2 mouse-button-1 menu has been added "shell" and "screensaver"+"screenlock" popups. This has been done using the "hooks" in /etc/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2, not modifying what is in /etc/X11/fvwm2 (notice that /etc/X11/fvwm2/menudefs.hook is "maintained" by the Debian install/deinstall procedures; great Debian, great idea those hooks). The screensaver/screenlock modes are the ones currently (Debian 1.2.4) mentioned in the help given by xlock. 4) The last attachment is only useful (if not as a [bad?] hint) to PC users with an Italian keyboard. I had to fix correspondence of a few keys and I just used the Xmodmap way because could not find what to change after reading this in XF86Config: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" AutoRepeat500 5 Xkbkeycodes "xfree86" XkbTypes "default" XkbCompat "default" XkbSymbols"en_US(pc102)+it" <-- XkbGeometry "pc" EndSection If I've put any mistakes before posting the files please don't miss to notify to me!

According to the procmail docs, you need the following line in your
/etc/smail/transports:
local: return_path, local, from, driver=pipe; user=root,
cmd="/usr/bin/procmail -d $($user$)"
and comment out the "local" line that is there like so:
#local: driver=appendfile, from, local, inet, return_path, unix_from_hack;
# append_as_user, check_user, file=/var/spool/mail/${lc:strip:user},
# group=mail, mode=0660, notify_comsat, suffix="\n"
Let me know how it goes, I haven't tried smartlist yet, but I'm using
smail and procmail alreadyand I've heard favourable mention of
smartlist on other lists.
Hope this helps!

With a slower machine eventually press "r" twice: radar off. - Immediately one after the other press "4" and "a": full throttle and afterburner. In a well running ACM: >>> IN 3-4 SECONDS the left vertical rudder should reach 150 (knots) <<< - Here if you find it interesting you can smoothly pull back the mouse and take off, keep the small circle (flight path marker) on the 20 degrees up line, at 200-250 knots press "y" twice (flaps up), at 400-450 knots press "a" (toggle afterburner to off)... you'll enter the clouds and exit soon, press "n" and shake the mouse a little, then press "n" again... you have better read the postscript documents if you really decide to "fly" ACM, and train quite a lot to land safe (if you're not a pilot, I mean), which is to me the most beautiful thins, especially with a broken engine or unbalanced plane or at least with minimum throttle (20%, which is anyway less difficult than with broken engine or with no fuel). BY THE WAY, the "rotor" mode of xlock seems very slow too, isn't it? I mean, under an old Slackware '95 (and 3.1 December 9.6 and other distributions I gave a look at) I saw it so fast that full geometric shapes appeared quickly changing, and not a running point. I find Debian great under many aspects, pon/poff, mgetty, I've well understood and configured the /etc/X11/fvwm2/.fvwm2 hooks and noticed that the install-deinstall procedures for some packages automatically update the /etc/X11/fvwm2/menudefs.hook (I'm thinking about posting a couple of messages after this, one to help ex-Slackware users with a minimum fvwm2 menu setup and one for the Italian users to fix correspondence of a few keys). I was really hoping to be able to rebuild not only ACM version 4.7 but also that (still beta?) 4.8 with that IEEE standard for networked distributed computation... I find fast X graphics fascinating since I was a kid (what a surprise it was to have Battle Zone, cbzone, under my first Linux install).

[INSTALL]:novice questions
Hello, I am now a proud owner of a Debian Linux box! I just finished installing the base system, everything went almost flawlessly, cool. Now I have a copule of novice/lame, whatever you like, questions: 1. For some reason, my up/down left/right keys produce weird output to the screen. Why? I have US keyboard, everything SHOULD be fine. 2. I need to install all the other stuff, what is the best way to do that? I have a ppp 33.6 connection. I am probably going to install a lot of stuff. 3. When I tried to install drivers for my CD-ROM (mitsumi), the install didn't see my cd-rom, what can I do about it? 4. I have a bunch of other peripherals, where do I get drivers for those? 5. Could you give me some pointers to info about building a kernel with custom drivers, lilo config etc., all the novice questions, so that I could RTFM and not bother people on the list with stupid questions.

strange ifconfig output..
Heya.. I finally got my ISDN running.. but now I'm experiencing some strange ifconfig output, something like this: ippp0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol inet addr:194.109.15.56 P-t-P:194.109.31.5 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:74 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:83 overruns:0 RX shows 74 errors and TX shows 83 dropped packets.. This can't be right, since I succesfully logged on a telnet account during that session.. I'm using kernel release 2.1.29.. I'm also experiencing another problem.. I rewrote the isdn script and added a line that reads: route add default netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ippp0 Since 2.1.29 needs a netmask with the route command.. After doing this I'm getting name lookup errors when trying to telnet or ftp or whatever. I cant connect to anything. When I remove the 'netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ippp0' and change it to 'route add default ippp0' it works fine.. Maybe my netmask is wrong but I doubt it..

Re: /sbin/clock not ticking

Someone kindly suggested I run "strace clock". I am not familiar with
strace, but it did seem to give some potentially useful information.
I tried running clock on my brother's computer (also running debian) and
it works fine on his system. I compared the strace from his clock with
the output from mine. There were a few differences, but the most relevant
was:
My brother's output:
open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
iopl(0x3) = 0
My output:
open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY) = 3
ioctl(3, 0x7003, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "ioctl: Invalid argument\n", 24ioctl: Invalid argument) = 24
I don't know what /dev/rtc is, but it seems that on my brother's computer
it can't be opened. It seems that this in turn allows clock to work.
The strange thing is that /dev/rtc does in fact exist on my brother's
computer (and on mine).
On my brother's computer:
# ls -laF /dev/rtc
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 135 Jan 1 1970 /dev/rtc
All very strange.
The other thing of possible interest is that my brother's computer
opens an older version of libc.so:
open("/lib/libc.so.5.4.13", O_RDONLY) = 3
Whereas on my computer:
open("/lib/libc.so.5.4.23", O_RDONLY) = 3
I don't know whether this would have anything to do with it? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

When I lock the screen with xlock and I continuously click the middle mouse button on my Logitech mouse to cycle through the different screensavers, xlock exits with the following error: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap) Serial number of failed request: 20908 Current serial number in output stream: 20913 Sometimes, xlock also seems to mysteriously exit with this error without any keyboard or mouse input. I am using all of the packages from the frozen tree. Thanks for any help, -- Michael Q.
