Re: something just sorta cool ...
This will make the viewer command work even if netscape isn't already running. Basically, you're saying run netscape -remote OR run netscape. If the remote command fails (netscape's not already running), then you'll fire up a new one! If netscape is already running, then you'll open the html file in the running copy, and never try running a new netscape process! You could extend this even further with another OR statement, which would run lynx if neither netscape command works. That's really useful if you're on a non-graphical session (i.e. logged in remotely). hey, cool. i'd wondered if it would start up a new session if one didn't already exist ... but hadn't gotten that far yet. also i didn't know that || was valid syntax in a mailcap. danke. adam. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It works fine under Windows 95. It does not work at all under Linux. When I run XF86Setup, I select PS/2 mouse and set the device to be /dev/psaux and apply the changes, but moving the mouse does not move the cursor. The /dev/psaux file exists and looks right. I believe the kernel has PS/2 support included because in /var/log/messages there's a line that says PS/2 Auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed. But in /proc/interrupts there's no mention of a PS/2 device or a mouse. I've also tried disabling both serial ports and the parallel port in the BIOS to see if there was some IRQ conflict, but that made no difference. So... what should I try next? If you haven't already, try to get it working with gpm. Run gpmconfig (if I remember it correctly) and select the PS/2 device. The man-pages describe how to do this better. If that works okay, then you can follow the man-pages again to use gpm to handle it under X using the -R switch, changing the device in XF86Config to /dev/gpmdata with type MouseSystems. What this does is set up a fake device for X to use, controlled via gpm. This is all from my rusty memory, but I know that it should work. It's a shame that simple things like this are so complicated to get working, as I'm sure it puts a lot of people off using Linux. I hope that this is of some use to you.

Xwindows
Hello to the Debian users list. I have hade good luck so far in setting up my system with Debian 1.3.1 (kernal 2.0.29) from the FTP site. I had installed the Xwindows and it came up at boot time but was a complete mess so I deinstalled and started over. I thought the installation went proper this time but it doesn't come up at boot time, or with XDM, STARTX or XINIT. Also there are no indications of any added processes with the ps command. With XDM the disk runs for a second and I am returned to the system prompt. I get the following message with either STARTX or XINIT. _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 the above message 6 times giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to Xserver xinit: No such process (erno 3): Server error. The installed packages are. Xserver-svga Xserver-vga16 Xbase fvwm95 fvwm-common plus some others None of the packages indicated any missing dependances. Where should I start looking for the source of this problem. I didn't see anything with a quick look in the logs but I could have missed something. XF86Config appears to be in order per the included docs/manpages. I will provide any output necessary on request. Also where and what file/s do I get to install a stable version of Netscape with this version of Debian. Thanks in advance for any help. John C.

If I set manually these proxies everything go through the socks, squid get http queries from socks proxy and there is no info about the machine who requested the web page. So i can not log the clients' activities!! When i use the automatic proxy config javascript where http goes onto squid ftp goes onto squid gopher goes onto squid any other onto socks then mail server is inaccessible (from netscape) Any ideas?

David, You can do a clean shutdown as a non-root user if you have planned for it as root. You can set Control-Alt-Del up to do a shutdown. My Debian system came up that way when I installed. I think they all do. However, my system at work has this in /etc/inittab: # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. #ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -r now Some administrator here is paranoid.

Re: clean shutdown
On 8 Apr, Kenneth L. Summers wrote in reply to David B. Wilson Is there a way to do a clean shutdown without becoming root? (Preferably still restricting access to those who can push the power button.) The method I tell folks around here to use is to go to a virtual console, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and watch for the bios screen. Then shut it off. If there is a better way, I'd be interested in hearing it (mostly so I can make sure nobody does it :) ObDisclaimers: I have no idea what, if anything, I just broke. I have modified /etc/inittab and /etc/kbd/default.map.gz. In /etc/kbd/default.map.gz, I have Control-Alt-Insert mapped to KeyboardSignal, and in /etc/inittab, I have added a line (okay, I uncommented one that was already there and modified it) that runs shutdown -h now when it receives a kbsignal. This way, when I press Control-Alt-Insert, it does something almost like Ctrl-Alt-Del, but halts instead of rebooting. On my laptop, or on some machines which support power management, this turns off the power as well. I suppose you could modify the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence to halt instead of rebooting, but I like the option to choose rebooting or halting. I can provide copies of the relevant parts of those files on request - I have three machines running Debian right now, and I've made this modification on two of them.

These questions are based on my home machine and I have read over DNS/SMAIL/NETWORK, etc. manpages and HOWTO's.

Re:Xwindows
Did you setup the file 'XF86Config' ?. Your problem look likely come from the setup. If you did not setup that, use 'XF86Setup' command. Jongmook for me xwindows took several tries to get it installed correctly. the key i think was finding out exactly what kind of monitor and monitor card i had, and putting in the exact specifics. there is a directory with doc files specifically for each different monitor card, that is supported right now. it might be in /usr/doc/x11r6 but i think you'll find it also one level deeper than the xf86config file. hope that helps you somewhat. it may take a little while. rohit Just had the exact same problem with my S3 server. Read all available info for your card and try to run xf86config once again Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Been there, done that, but will do it again since I could have missed something. BTY in the rc*.d directories there is the K99xdm and S99xdm files to bring up Xwindows at boot time but they do the same thing as xdm does from the command line, apparently nothing. The console messages appear to me like the Xclient isn't coming up for the server to connect to. Being new to Linux I have found that many things take several tries to get them right. Also so much of the how-tos are slanted toward Slackware and Redhat and are just enough different from Debian to cause some confusion. Any other suggestions will be appreciated. John C.

Quantum fireball ST 3.2 and kernel 2.0.32
I have a quantum fireball ST, 3.2 gig. It sounds quite nice and fast in Windows, but under Linux it thrashes around quite a bit. I hear much much more disk activity than in Windows, and sometimes it sounds unhealthy (I can hear the drive rattling around). This doesn't give me warm fuzzies since the tech sup guy at Quantum told me to replace my drive SOON (in response to another problem every now and then it makes a horrible head crashing noise). Is this because Win95's virtual memory is not truly virtual memory? When I run top, I usually see all my swap (64mb partition) is gone. Usually it's because of X and XEmacs and gimp. Is there any way to tune the control of my drive? I don't know the first thing about this, so I'm not sure where the code controlling the drive resides. But it just sounds different in Linux. (Also, is it safe to run defrag. I am very afraid to screw up my Linux partition. I'm getting an identical replacement drive in the mail, and I plan to use something like dd to clone the current one before it checks out.. perhaps: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb will that work?)

Hello, I somehow messed up one of my long-stable hamm systems during an upgrade. On boot-up, even a single-user boot, the boot process fails with the message in the subject line above.
