This is non-trivial. The current plan is to just have some procmail
rules to deal with this, which can be set on a per-list basis, instead
of having different Spam Assassin configurations for different lists.

As you can imagine, those rules would create mayhem on lists such as
debian-chinese-big5.

Not really. This list is supposed to be in english.

If they should be fine. I picked a list at random the other day and did 
some quick analysis of what was getting blocked on murphy, and what 
was going through. I posted the results (so far) on:

http://www.redellipse.net/stuff/2004/01/12#2004011201

Of the 98 messages which did make it onto debian-devel, 68 would have
could have been blocked if we had a test on the GB2312 charset. I'm
assuming there will be similar results on other lists at the moment.

Cheers,

I can't access some site with Mozilla

2004-01-13 Thread Christopher L. Everett

OK,

I git this problem only once in a while.  Otherwise useful site that I
can't access that give me "connection refused" errors when Moz or
IE on a Windows box behind the same firewall as me works fine.
Here are 2 sample URLS:

http://www.mwave.com/
http://www.egain.com/
I realize that most likely these turkeys have a braindead (MS ISA? )
firewall in place.  So how do I deal?

because default vmware uses a SCSI disk for Harddrive. Sorry I forgot
which type of controler, but it is not a very common one. To ship
around, remove the SCSI stuff from the vmware configuration and add a
IDE disk [vmware machine has to be "stopped" for this]
if you want to keep the SCSI thing you have to boot with an SCSI enabled
kernel that has this scsi controller driver as module or compiled in.

Not exactly apt-cache, but, if you install grep-dctrl, 'grep-available 
-PX foo' should give you the output that you want.

Hi,
some time ago I had exactly the same process going on on my box and asked
the question here on the list. This is what I have been told:

[...]

Subject: Re: Changes made to /etc/ioctl.save follow
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

It's init (process #1). /etc/ioctl.save saves the stty(1) settings
of the console.
This is because originally, Linux and Unix didn't have a way to
specify the console speed, parity etc at bootup which for a serial
console is important. So if you boot single-user mode, at the moment
you leave single-user mode the settings of the console are saved
in /etc/ioctl.conf. The next time you boot and init is started,
it restores the console settings from /etc/ioctl.save
Now today you can set the console speed, bits and parity on the
kernel command line when booting, so it's not all that important
anymore. So in sysvinit-2.85 the ioctl.save code was removed.
Current testing/unstable doesn't have a /etc/ioctl.save anymore.

2.4 won't recognize my keyboard?

2004-01-13 Thread Forest Fisher

I'm trying to install Debian on my new laptop and I want to install the 2.4 kernel so 
I can use reiserfs.I'm installing from cd's that I ordered from debian.org for 
woody 3.0r2, i386 architecture.  The problem is that the 2.4 kernel doesn't seem to 
recognize my keyboard but the 2.2 kernel does.  My laptop's model is hp pavillion 
ze4560us and the product spefication says only that the keyboard is a standard 
keyboard with 88 keys.  Any thoughts on why the 2.4 kernel won't recognize my keyboard 
if the 2.2 kernel will/ways around this problem?

try this:

first, you have to know which I/O address and IRQ (aka resource) your card
is trying to use. To get them, pull out the card and insert it again, then
look in kernel (or in your console) for those parameters. This is a kernel
log example:

Jan 10 00:24:27 mypc cardmgr[350]: socket 0: 3Com 572/574 Fast Ethernet
Jan 10 00:24:27 mypc kernel: eth1: Megahertz 574B at io 0x300, irq 3,
hw_addr 00:50:04:8E:F6:E5.

(in this case IO address is 0x300)

then open /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and add a line like:

exclude port 0x300-0x300

restart pcmcia service and see the result. Another attempt is to exclude the
IRQ:

exclude irq 3

or both IO and IRQ first requested by your card

switching from stable to testing in apt causes problems

2004-01-13 Thread enantiomer

I am reposting this because google didn't post my last response for
some reason...
I have recently made the switch over to debian and am
definitely a newbie. I noticed that when using the apt utilities like
apt-get and apt-cache, much of the software that I want just isn't
available in stable (stable worked fine though). so i moved over to
testing but couldn't get it to work. here are the steps that I
took...
1. first used apt-spy to get a list of testing servers 'apt-spy -d
testing'
2. then tried 'apt-cache search firebird'
but it didn't work it kept on giving me a "Couldn't stat source
package list ftp://mirrors.usc.edu TESTING/contrib Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirrors.usc.edu_pub_linux_distructions_debian_dists_TESTING_contrib_binary_i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)"
error type of message for each testing source in my sources.list file

i then tried running 'apt-get update' and got the same error. why
does this process work under stable but not testing? I have scoured
the google groups site trying to figure this out and have read close
to a hundred articles probably and would really appreciate some help.
Anyone? Below is my sources.list file. Thanks!
