Question about fbpanel

[Kristian Niemi]

I have this strange problem, and I'm wondering if anyone else is 
experiencing something similar; if it's a bug, I should report, or a 
feature I can adjust, or ...

I run openbox, with fbpanel to get ... a panel. Fbpanel gets executed 
from my .xsession: (the last four lines from ~/.xsession)
 docker &
 fbpanel &
 eval '$HOME/.fehbg'
 exec openbox

Now the problem is that fbpanel only shows on my first desktop. In order 
for it to show on *all* desktops, I have to start it from xterm.

I know it's supposed to be a feature of fbpanel that it's possible to 
start several instances, using different configs, enabling the 
possibility of having different panels on different desktops. But I 
can't seem to find out (at least by RTFM) how to have it show the same 
panel, on all desktops, right away from startup.

Or taking another approach: why is it shown on all desktops when 
starting it from xterm (using simply the command 'fbpanel &')?

Every idea is appreciated.

h: Kristian

I apparently lost the script /etc/init.d/ppp. Where can I get a copy :-)

I think you are right.  I looked at an output file in ghostview and it

1. RTFM.  The Linux Kernel documentation does tell you the difference.
   If you're lazy, just use the process of elimination.

2. If you're going to subscribe to the digest, it's recommended that
   you use a MUA (mail reader) or MDA (mail sorter) that will split
   the digest into individual messages.

3. Never reply to a message to start a thread.  Just email the list.

Google is your universal friend.  Just end your search with
site:packages.debian.org and you should get results.

Hi 'User' and Kent,
I know most folks say not to, but 'tasksel' is something I find is ok
for limited use. So I'd say to use tasksel and select x windows and kde.

You probably have a minimal Debian install, which does not include X.

To install a basic X setup, try the command:

   apt-get install x-window-system

Firefox + Extensions

[Patrick Wiseman]

Hello all:

I've installed mozilla-firefox the .deb way but most extensions the
mozilla .xpi way (more often than not to the user profile directory).  Is
there any reason I shouldn't be doing that?

Incidentally, I've only been using firefox for a few days, but I've been
sufficiently impressed to get rid of mozilla and firebird.

mozilla-firefox extension problems

[Robert Rati]

I just installed an extension system-wide (in the app dir), but I can't
get my user account to use it.  It recognizes the extension, but I can't
seem to actually USE it.  The only way I can seem to get it to work is
to delete my .firefox directory and let firefox recreate it.  If I do
that, I can use the extension.  Is there something I'm missing when
installing an extension?  I don't have to recreate my profile do I?

They've been removed from unstable but not yet removed from testing,
because other packages in testing still depend on them. This is a
feature, not a bug: it protects testing from breakage when packages are
removed.

The fact that libplplot9 still depends on libqhull4 rather than
libqhull5 is a bug, though, namely bug #237929.

can't install plplot9 some packages in testing but not unstable

[Micha Feigin]

I just tried to install plplot9 but the installation fails saying that
it can't install libqhull4. Looking for it in the archives shows that
it exists in testing but not in unstable?

How come there are packages with versions in testing and not in
unstable, or is this a bug?

There are lots of people on this list who can give you specific, useful
advice. My note is here to give you 'moral' support. Debian is a learning
experience. Treasure it. You will be a better, stronger person when you
get X working. But you really won't be a proper 'developer', or even a
'maintainer'. Not to worry. The gods of Debian reveal themselves thru 
their mercy. They will help you. 

My poor explanation of what to do next: 1. make sure you have proper
setup for downloading and installing Debian packages via apt-get, or
dselect or aptitude. e.g. Try installing the package 'most' in the
Debian way.  2. Install aptitude, if it is not already installed.
3. Use aptitude to scan thru packages. Look for Xwindows and Gnome
stuff.  4. Try installing some of it. Then post more questions.
5. Learn.

Re: Problems installing Debian on PIII using Adaptec 2400A RAID 5 array as boot drive

This seemed to be the last post in this thread and I assumed that 
this might have some chance of working but I could not get it to be 
so. The woody install CD's don't appear to support jumping out and 
being able to compile a kernel (not really surprising).

What you can do however is copy the dpt_i2o.o module from the floppy 
(http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ I already had a 
copy from prior to the break in) to /lib/../scsi/ by invoking a 
shell. I had several goes at this as it's not exactly obvious where 
to do it and once done it breaks the flow of the install process.

Once done you can boot from the 2400a (or presumably whatever card 
you have) and compile a kernel in the normal way.

Hopefully this will help others. Bring on Sarge

If no one else responds with hard information consider this.  From
whatever source you used to get fedora, get the source code of the
program that you want to have in Debian. Look at the source for
comments that indicate who wrote it and who maintains it. Post this
info here with a plea for a developer to adopt it and construct a
proper Debian package. It sounds like it might be a simple project for
someone who knows what that are doing (i.e. not me)

Define "OSS".  The Audigy is not supported by the SB Live driver in the
kernel, it never has been.  Whether or not the pay-ware OSS supports it, I
have no idea.

It shouldn't have.  To support an Audigy, you either need to use ALSA, or
the SourceForge SB Live driver.

...this is true. I don't think there was any need for a change between
2.2 and 2.4; and most people don't switch back and forth between
radically different kernel versions very often... I suspect you won't
have to either once 2.6 has been out a bit longer.

Does it work without "nice"?  Maybe there is some weird interaction of
the stdout/stderr of the nice and make commands.  Maybe try:
   (nice make build ) > /root/XF4-make.out 2>&1 &

which should run everything in () in a sub-shell, thus only 1 stdout/err
stream to work with.  You did say "bourne" shell, and I guess I'm more
familiar with "bash", but I think this is still okay.

If you're talking about having a ppp network interface started
automatically and unconditionally at boot time, then there is a file
"/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot", that, if present, causes this to happen. The logic
for this is in "/etc/init.d/ppp". The default Debian action is for the
"ppp_on_boot" file to be named "/etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot". There are
comments in 'no_ppp_on_boot' that discuss this and what should be done to
bring up the ppp interfaces you want at boot time.

First you need to run apt-get update to read the list of packages. Next

I have the same problem.  Even when I print to file and look at it
with kghostview, all the letters are little rectangles.

Using Mozilla Debian Package 1.6-2 on unstable.
Galeon 1.3.13 has the same problem.
I can print ok from Konqueror as well.

SoundBlaster Audigy under OSS?

[Paul Galbraith]

I have a soundblaster audigy gamer, and am running sarge with a 2.4.24 
kernel.  Has anyone gotten this card to work under OSS?

I tried installing the emu10k1 driver module and it wouldn't install, 
complaining that there is "no such device".  I was able to install the 
ac97_codec module, but that didn't give me sound.

I don't know if the writes will fail if you kill the process before it exits 
(doubt it), but it might.  Try using a shorter process for debugging.

Well, I don't think you can do it on the web, but apt-cache search will let

KDE Update failure

[martin welsh]

This is on a machine loaded with Xandros2 using Xandros Networks to 
update KDE.  I am on a time limited dialup modem and update the 
dependencies one by one to ensure that I get everything in during my 
alloted time windows.

I loaded the dependencies in reverse alphabetical order before loading 
the KDE update.

When the machine was restarted access was only available on tty1 or 
through an ethernet connection.

Attached is a copy of the log file generated when the startx command 
is typed in.

Please advise of any effective cures.

This sounds familiar... I _think_ this may have something to do with a 
discrepancy between the kernel source you're compiling the modules 
against and the currently-running kernel.

Try compiling and installing the kernel, rebooting into the new kernel, 
and _then_ compiling and installing the alsa modules.


Cheers!

I have built kernels and alsa for 2.4.x several times and it has worked
fine for me. I have never encuntered the problems you describe so here
is what I do.
Make new kernel and install kernel. (with oss-drivers for my card, as
modules)
Boot with new kernel. 
Check the /usr/src/linux symlink
Build alsa
Reboot and ok.
I remember that i had some problems getting alsa to start at first. I
think it was related to the oss driver being loaded. The alsa script was
ok I think.
try answering yes instead of abort and see what happens. 
Good luck.

I'm coming into the middle of this thread.

So, you can start X if you use Gnome, but not if you use KDE?

What if you log in as a different user (who has never run KDE and 
therefore has no KDE-related files in his home directory), and try 
starting KDE? Does that fail also? (Alternatively, kill all the 
KDE-related files in your home directory and try, but it'd be better to 
use an entirely different user.)

How are you starting KDE? Via a session manager (xdm, gdm, wdm, kdm, 
etc)? Via "startx" with something in your .xinitrc? If you try a 
different method, do you get the same failure?

Problem with Toshiba 5105 laptop, kernel-2.6.4 and nvidia driver 1.0-5336.

[Ralph Crongeyer]

Hello,

I'm having this problem with Toshiba 5105 laptop, kernel-2.6.4 and nvidia 
driver 1.0-5336. There is about a 1/4 inch gap of the screen not being used 
on the right hand side of the screen running vertically. I used to be able to 
fix this problem (with kernel-2.4.x) by editing my "/etc/modules.conf" file 
with this:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2
alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia

But now this has no effect? (I'm using Debian "SID" with kernel-2.6.4). Even 
if I exit out of the GUI and stop x, and kdm and "rmmod nvidia" to unload the 
module and then reload it with:
"modprobe nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2"
to insure that the options are loaded, and then restart kdm and x it has no 
effect, the 1/4 inch gap is still there?

How can I fix this?

Ralph

So how do I remove whateve was left over from j2sdk1.3 remove operation?

I think solved:
~# dpkg --remove j2re1.3
~# apt-get install  j2re1.4
seemed to have worked.

Which leads to me the question is the deb package of j2re1.3 from 
Blackdown broken? Since it didn't remove itself with "apt-get --purge 
remove".

This seemed to be the most likely culprit, but I couldn't rule out the
possiblity that the problem is with the DHCP setup.  Is there anything
I can try to make sure?

I love Knoppix, but it is a bit bloated for the Pentium 200.  I used it
for testing purposes to determine that networking can work properly,
but I loath to use it regularly.  If the discover package is what
allowed Knoppix to handle networking so effortlessly, then I'm a happy
camper.

Thanks for your help Darik.

weather reporting program in debian

[Kamaraju Kusumanchi]

I am looking for weather reporting program without any graphics etc., 
which works on a console. In fedora there is a program called weather, 
which can be used on console. I could not find a similar application in 
debian (I am using testing). I searched in debian packages website, but 
could not find anything.

Can some one point me in the right direction?

thanks

I'm open to all suggestions! 

I did have bastille installed at one stage but not now.
I don't know anything much about lsof or why it might do this.
I'll have to research chattr; I don't know what package it belongs to.

I can't find anything else, so far, that's unusual apart from this, so
I'm rather reluctant to go to radical steps like reinstalling
everything. I compared /bin/ps on another machine which is OK; this was
exactly the same length and date.

apt-get reports conflicts while installing j2sdk

grub-install doesn't handle the devfs-style symlink naming as

The screen, while you are trying to boot ;-).

Seriously, though, you should have a floppy disk or cd handy to boot

package search

[Paul Yeatman]

Hi, is it possible to search for more than one word with the
online Debian package search (for searching package descriptions)?
If so, I wasn't able to figure out how.

Bonus question (and the reason I'm trying to search for more than
one word in Debian package descriptions): is there any tool that
someone knows of to convert a PDF to an image.  According to one of
the users here, the Windows version of acroreader has this option
but it doesn't appear that the linux version does.

Thanks,

Paul

I've already tried to do this, hoping the DHCP serving modem might
accept it.  it didn't work.  When I referenced the bullitin board I
found with another case of the same situation, your suggestion of
recompiling the kernel with networking built in was also mentioned. 
Since it was the only thing I have yet to try, I figured it was worth a
shot.

grub-install /dev/hda... /dev/.../disc does not have any corresponding BIOS drive

[Niels L. Ellegaard]

I tried changing bootloader from lilo to grub, but I am stuck halfway
in the process, and I am slightly afraid of rebooting. (BTW I am using
debian testing). Here is what I did

root:gnalle# apt-get install grub grub-doc

root:gnalle# grub-install /dev/hda
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc does not have any correspondin

I tried looking at google, but I could not understand what was the
reason for the errors. I would be grateful for any hint or
enlighteling flame.

If I reboot now, will my lilo still be working or will my system try
to boot from a malfunctional grub? Where should I look to find out?

   Thanks in advance

Weird ideas that probably won't work:

First you need to run apt-get update to read the list of packages. Next
you can try to run apt-get upgrade. Probably you will however need to
run apt-get dist-upgrade because you need to install new packages. Some
installed packages (like the kde meta packages) will be removed. Wenn I
installed KDE 3, I removed the existing KDE installation:

apt-get --purge remove kde.*

and installed KDE using the group packages:

apt-get install kdebase kdenetwork kdegames kdeadmin...

Getting flash to work in firefox

I installed the flash plugin from macromedia for firefox/mozilla, but I

Harland,

Your mail client is top-posting, and it didn't quote the author

Bill,  I use fwbuilder.  If you have ever used CheckPoint, this will
be very familiar.  There may be a little bit of a learning curve,

You shouldn't need a new script, just use the libusbscanner that is in
/etc/hotplug/usb, the pointer to it may need to be in
/etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap rather than /usr/hotplug.usb.usermap.
Also just a plain usb in epson.conf (i.e. without the manufacturer and
model codes) should suffice.

Sounds like you should just choose a font that can handle your locale
better, using "switch" or the gnome control center.

If you run "switch" or the GNOME 1.4 control centre, what theme does it
say you are using?

Assuming this is the Chinese equivalent of this:

libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ignore it; you can install libmikmod2 if you really want to listen to
MOD files.

That's only true if esd had terminated previously, which it won't
if there are still gnome clients running.  Empirically, I have
gnome sounds enabled and use esd in this fashion with no problem
whatsoever.

Howto get xsane with libusb working for normal users (was Re: Howto get an usb scanner working under linux 2.6.3)

[Joris Huizer]

Hello,

I'm trying to get xsane to work with libusb;
Now, as root user xsane finds the scanner but as a normal user xsane 
doesn't find it! This is both on 2.6.3 and 2.4.24 (where I took out the 
scanner.o module)

I found this page http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/libusb.html 
about configuring libusb but the scanner still doesn't work. I attach 
/etc/sane.d/epson.conf, /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, and 
/etc/hotplug/usb/epson_scanner I currently have

Can anybody tell me what's wrong? I've got an Epson Perfection 1650 
scanner. This is what sane-find-scanner says:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0110) at libusb:001:004

It seems the numbers at libusb keep changing I hope I don't have to 
update settings each time or so :-/

Thanks for any help,

Recently I found that the "i" flag had been set on /bin/ps. I removed it

Is there any way this could conceivably happen innocently following

Short answer:  You don't.  Think twice, delete once next time.

Long answer: If you're comfortable playing around with low-level
information in your filesystem, there's probably a HOWTO for using
debuge2fs.  Good luck.

Well, did you log out, then log back in?  Group changes do not take

Take a look at the command arguments for esd.  It's possible to tell
esd to not hang onto /dev/dsp when it doesn't need it.
My /etc/esound/esd.conf says:

[esd]
auto_spawn=1
spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2
spawn_wait_ms=100
and with that, esd-aware and esd-unaware applications are able to
coexist just fine.
(if you go this route, esd will of course need to be restarted)

Thanks for the pointer
Problem is that I have gnome sounds enabled. They do not recommend 
setting auto_spawn to 1 in that case. Because esd then will be fired up 
every time you hit a button or so.

Actually, I think I was full of crap when I was talking about $TMPDIR.
I think the stuff in there I saw was stuff I had manually extracted
there.

It will still help to keep an eye on the .jar files in
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/chrome though.
