mouse emulation with keyboard in X

[Juraj Fedel]

(I will try my luck again:)
I offten use mouse emulation (activated by Ctrl+Alt+NumLock). It
works fine, my problem is that emulation is automaticaly
deactivated if not used for a while. How do I prevent this.
In man Xserver I found command line option:
   [+-]accessx [ timeout [ timeout_mask [ feedback [ options_mask ] ] ] ]
enables(+) or disables(-) AccessX key sequences.
The question is where do I put this option and what values do I
use (my guess is +accessx 0). What does all that optional values
stand for - I did not find any more info about this option that that
two lines!
I am using Debian Sarge, gdm, XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1, and blackbox
as windowmanger

It's a packaging bug. You will find that kde-i18n-engb has installed
everything under /share, when it should go under /usr/share. If you move
the files to /usr/share then the right English should show up in KDE.

I didn't bother to report this; perhaps you'd like to.

Although you use GNOME maybe you'd like to try ksnapshot?  It does what

Re: How do you "move to testin =?iso-8859-1?Q?ng/etch=22??=

[Angelo Bertolli]

You may already know this, but just in case you don't . . .you need to
understand that the decision to track testing instead of stable or
unstable is a serious one, with potentially serious hazards.  Many
people have the concept in their heads that testing is a fairly
robust distribution that's less risky than unstable -- something like
"more current than stable, but less dangerous than unstable."  That
isn't true, because that isn't the purpose of testing.  When things
break in testing, they can often stay that way for an extended period
of time -- viz. two occasions last year when first GNOME, and then
KDE, were uninstallable out of testing, and broken for those tracking
testing closely, for more than a month in each case.  That's not
because of the developers doing anything wrong; it's just the nature
of what testing is.  If your reason for wanting to upgrade to testing
is because you see it as splitting the difference between stable
and unstable, you need to read about what testing is and how it's
(automatically) put together.

OTOH, if you already knew all the above, cool, sorry for being
long-winded, maybe it'll be helpful to someone else.
 



I think it's good to point out, and I think I know where the confusion 
comes from.  When sarge was almost stable, but still in testing it was 
much more like what you described:  "more current than stable, but less 
dangerous than unstable."  I kept hearing people tell me don't use 
testing unless you want things to be broken sometimes, but of course 
nothing ever broke because sarge was so close to becoming stable.  Now 
we're at the beginning of another testing phase--things aren't going to 
be as smooth at the beginning of a testing phase as they are towards the 
end.

GNOME 2.8 has "Take Screenshot..." right on the drop-down "Foot"
menu.

After you've taken the screenshot, edit it GIMP to pull out only
the window you want.

Now, a "windowshot" utility would be so useful...

requests on port 2000 to 192.168.2.199; 192.168.2.199 picks up the
request and an ssh tunnel is formed
 

You won't need tunneling for this, just the NAT that your "router" 
does.  Your router should just forward all data to specified machine.



on the other hand, if I type
ssh -p 3000 -l metoo mydomain.dyndns.org
the router sends the request to 192.168.2.254 instead. 


On my router confiugration screen, there seem to be 3 places where this
sort of thing can be done:
1. "DDNS" -- here I'm allowed to have 1 static IP address designated as
a "server" ; requests on ports 80,21,and 25 (http, ftp, smtp) are
forwarded on to the "server".  I've tried this and it works fine for
http at least (I get the standard debian default index page from my
local machine).  But there seems to be no further flexibility.
2. "NAT".  This section comes with the following instructions:

*Special Applications*

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming,
video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications
cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you
need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the
port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port"
field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public
ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

Note: The range of the Trigger Ports is from 1 to 65535.

THen there's a tablei nwhich I can associate "trigger ports" with
"public ports".  But I odn't think I really understand what this is
about, as thre seems to be no way to associate a particular local
machine with a forwarded port.

3. DMZ.  THis screen lets me associate a local IP address (192.168.2.x)
with a public IP address.  But this isn't what I want, is it?  Because
after all I only have one constantly-changing IP address available to
me... 
 

Maybe.  This is what I use, but I don't require direct ssh ability to 
both of my machines.  I login to my machine in the DMZ and then ssh to 
my other machine from there--it feels more secure that way.  If you can 
set a permanent IP address for your local machine then this should be fine.


Your other option is to see if your router has some firewall rules, such 
as map this to that.

That should do it.  Oh, and make triple sure you have ATAPI DMA

Re: expose internal network to the outside world

I agree with Sanchez. I run an old Pentium II as a NAT box with
iptables and it gives me much more flexibility than a ("standalone")
router. Routers dont need to be a cutting edge machine, old ones will
do it just great for home networks. If you are not sure how to set up

Enter package name.  View  Latest News.  Note the package appears in the
archive and mirrors soon after the date of the email for the version

gnome and mime types

[David Zelinsky]

When I click on a realplayer link (.smil extension) in epiphany or
galeon, it wants to open it in a text editor.  I can't find any way to
change that behavior.  Unlike what I'm used to in mozilla, there's no
preference setting for helper applications.  I guess these are
supposed to be handled by the gnome configuration, but as far as I can
tell (from trying it, reading the help, and searching the web), the
configuration tools in gnome2 seem to have been gutted of any such
features.

How can I fix this?

I realize this is probably more of a gnome question, not a debian
question, although maybe it's a debian issue that this wasn't
configured correctly on installation.

Anyway, I couldn't find an obvious gnome list in which ask this
question (they all seemed to be aimed at more specific topics).  I'll
be grateful for an answer to my question, or a suggestion of where to
ask.

Thanks.

I use shorewall for my firewall, which lets me specify in simple rules
any ports I want forwarded and to which hosts they should be forwarded.
Other than that, I am sure you could whip up a short iptables script to
do what you want.

Is cdrecord broken?

[Roberto C. Sanchez]

Today I just got a new DVD burner.  I thought that the problems I was
previously having where cdrecord would burn at a max of 16x were
attributable to the cheap CD burner I had purchased.  However, this new
DVD burner burns DVDs fine at its max burn speed (8x or 16x for the
various DVD flavors) using growisofs.  But when I burn with cdrecord,
anything more than 16x (on a drive that is capable of 48x and CD-Rs that
are rated for 48x) produces coasters.

Google indicates lots of conflicting reports.  For example, some people
claim that kernel 2.6.8 causes them all sorts of problems, others claim
it works perfectly fine.  Some people clain that the solution is to
switch back to ide-scsi, others claim that ide-scsi is broken.  I am
really at a loss.

Any ideas?

expose internal network to the outside world

[Matt Price]

hi folks,

I have 2 computers on a home network, connected to DSL through a modem
and a cheap SMC router (Barricade  g = SMC2804WBRP-g).  I would like to
be able to ssh into both of them form the outside world.  I have
successfully set up "inadyn" to associate a stable URL (x.dyndns.org)
with my dynamic IP, which is great.  Now the problem is to tunnel remote
ssh requests to the two local machines.  I don't really understand this
very well (though I tried something similar about 2 years ago -- got
stumped then). 

As I understand it, what I need to do is set up some kind of a table
where external requests on particular ports are forwarded by the router
on to corresponding (perhaps not identical) ports on one or the other
local machine.  SO I imagine something like this:

from work, I type:

ssh -p 2000 -l me mydomain.dyndns.org
which gets to the router; the router sees that it's supposed to forward
requests on port 2000 to 192.168.2.199; 192.168.2.199 picks up the
request and an ssh tunnel is formed

on the other hand, if I type
ssh -p 3000 -l metoo mydomain.dyndns.org
the router sends the request to 192.168.2.254 instead. 

On my router confiugration screen, there seem to be 3 places where this
sort of thing can be done:
1. "DDNS" -- here I'm allowed to have 1 static IP address designated as
a "server" ; requests on ports 80,21,and 25 (http, ftp, smtp) are
forwarded on to the "server".  I've tried this and it works fine for
http at least (I get the standard debian default index page from my
local machine).  But there seems to be no further flexibility.
2. "NAT".  This section comes with the following instructions:

*Special Applications*

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming,
video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications
cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you
need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the
port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port"
field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public
ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

Note: The range of the Trigger Ports is from 1 to 65535.

THen there's a tablei nwhich I can associate "trigger ports" with
"public ports".  But I odn't think I really understand what this is
about, as thre seems to be no way to associate a particular local
machine with a forwarded port.

3. DMZ.  THis screen lets me associate a local IP address (192.168.2.x)
with a public IP address.  But this isn't what I want, is it?  Because
after all I only have one constantly-changing IP address available to
me... 

Anyway -- I feel a little bit stumped.  I wondered whether anyone else
had ideas about what I should do, whether I'm out of luck, etc.

THanks much,

matt

One entry in /etc/lilo.conf should look like this: 

  image=/boot/memtest86+.bin

It will then be selectable at the boot: prompt.

If you want a snapshot, then why not just take the show with whatever

If you use a package manager like dselect or aptitude, then you can tell
it to "hold" the package.  You can also do this directly with dpkg.  In
aptitude, simply pressing equals (=) with the package name selected
places it on hold.  For dpkg and others you will need to read the man
pages, or maybe someone else can explain how.

Knoppix has memtest86 installed.  You can enter either memtest or
memtest86 (check the cheat sheet to be sure) at the prompt and off you

For rsync, add "RSYNC_ENABLE=false" (no quotes) in /etc/default/rsync.

to not apt-get upgrade certain packages

Hello all,
I am trying to ensure that certain packages that I have apt-get
installed are never upgraded (even security). specifically these are
libwine wine wine-utils. I have version 20041019 the version
recommended by winetools package
(http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/) and I am more than
happy with this version. the other versions do not work as well (I
have tried). now everytime i need to do an apt-get upgrade I first
simulate with a (-s) and see which packages other than the wine*
packages have to be upgraded and select those manually to be updated
using apt-get. anyway I can tell apt-get upgrade to never upgrade
those three packages and leave them untouched? I tried to do something
with apt-preferences but got nowhere (still a newbie - just 2 months
with debian - although a year with rpm based distros)

I did install using Marillat's package and once having done that
downloaded the codecs from mplayerhq.hu site and unzipped them to the
appropriate folder as per:
http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/install.html#id2835200

I think that the mplayer packages were compiled and packaged with
support for the win32 codecs and you just have to place the codecs in
the right folder to get it to work. If I am mistaken, I apologize.

I use memtest86:

http://www.memtest86.com/ 

You can create a bootable floppy or CD.


You should also test your hard drive.  Go to you hard drive manufacturer's web
site and look for a bootable diagnostic utility.


I recently put two old drives into an older box, and they both went bad.
Someone on the BSD list suggested that I check the power supply, as it could
have caused the problem.  I've seen testers at retail computer stores (CompUSA),
but I'll probably just use my digital multimeter to measure the peripheral
voltages under load.


HTH,

looks to me that your kernel supports fat16/msdos

but your kernel is not able ot use the modules
to talk tothe usb stick

manually do:
modprobe msdos
modprobe fat
modprobe vfat

and see what it spits out at you

than spit back and do:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-stick

and see what it barfs at you 

if it still doesnt work ..

- change to 2.4.31 or 2.6.13 directly from kernel.org
and skip all the broken modified kernels

- the above kernel and usbstick should be working on your system

The stock linux VESA VGA framebuffer module is limited in its ability to

The patch makes the module behave differently with S3 Virge cards, so you may

Any general way to disable a service

[Tong]

Hi, 

Is there any general way to disable a service along all updates? 
I mean, I think I've stopped my rsync service, but noticed that it is now
starting again. I think having a new version of rsync installed will
default the rsync service being runned on startup. Is that so? 

I know how to stop it, but I want to know if there is ways for me to do it
once and for all.

you just need to have the usb drivers for the usb controller
on your mb
lspci | grep usb

- check the kernel options against the lspci output

but your kernel supports the usb controller

since it finds the fat16 partition you do NOT have a usb problem

debian way to memtest86?

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,
My computer is seriously segfaulting during compilation (eg: kernel,
gnome, openoffice,... src.rpm)
I dont know what's going on, so I decided to test the RAM first.
Is there any "debian way" to do memtest? On some distros, I saw a
memtest entry into the bootloader. I use lilo for the moment, anyway, I
dont have floppy drive, just CDRom.

Here's what I have in my userChrome.css, which does that and a bit
more.  Note especially the frequent use of "!important".  I'm not
entirely sure why settings in userChrome.css don't automatically get
top priority, but there you have it.  For anything I haven't set, you
can always unpack the default theme and go poking around, which is
what I did.  That is, unless they've gotten around to actually
documenting these features.

(3,1) is /dev/hda1
- you need to install the /boot/grub/dxxx_stage_1.5 for that
partition

if you moved grub from xxx system to a differently configured system,
than you have to change /boot/grub/devices.map for the new system

- you can test it by manually editing the grub lines
just before it starts to boot at the grub boot menu

You can specify wich file configuration is used by webcam; de default
is /home/user/.webcamrc is you run as user, and /etc/.webcamrc if you
run as root. You also can define it with &webcam /dir/.webcamrc to use
your own

In that file you can specify the parameters of where do you want to
upload the picture; for example, if you want to do it at your local
host, you can hace a file configuration like this:

terpsicore:~# more /etc/.webcamrc
[grab]
device = /dev/video0

I am by no means an expert, but I believe that your 'best guess' is all
that is needed - it works for me, at least.  So in summary, edit
/etc/apt/sources.list, replacing sarge or stable in each line with etch
or testing and then execute the following:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get dist-upgrade


The start of my sources.list file looks like this:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://the.earth.li/debian-secure-testing testing/security-updates
main contrib non-free
deb-src http://the.earth.li/debian-secure-testing
testing/security-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

I'm not sure I really need the last line, but it doesn't seem to do any
harm.  I think it is only there because I originally installed sarge
and then upgraded to testing, which didn't have security updates at
that time.

> In addition, is there a written example of adding a package from sid?
> 

I don't know about this.  My only experience with sid is accidentally
installing it instead of testing, and then finding that nothing worked.

Hope this helps,

Joe

Making a live cd (initrd / kernel panic)

[Patterson, Richard A]

On one machine I created a chroot using debootstrap, and put grub
(stage2_eltorito) into it, but I think I'm having trouble with my
initrd.

When I tried just installing the kernel, by default it automatically
tried to run mkinitrd, but I think because I was in my chroot (and not a
real device) it failed.  So before installing the kernel, I installed
the initrd tools, and modified the mkinitrd ROOT variable to be blank.
Now the kernel installs (without an initrd).

So I used (bootcd) mkinitrd-cd to create the initrd inside the chroot.
And then mkisofs and cdrecord the whole thing.

On our target system, I boot to the cd, grub loads, and the kernel
appears to load, but then panics...  Cannot mount root fs on
unknown-block(3,1)

I'm not sure, but I'm afraid that (3,1) coorisponds to the boot
partition of the first machine (where the initrd was created)...

Any clues?  Thanks so much for your help
Rich

^^^ pointing to description of the process ^^^

This is out of date?
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html
It was updated a month ago.

> In addition, is there a written example of adding a package from sid?

Be sure sid is in apt.sources, then...
apt-get install package
That should get sid if you have no /etc/apt/preferences

or the more sureshot way
apt-get -t distribution install package

Look at 'Keeping a mixed system' in the doc mentioned above, or search
for apt preferences, or apt-pinning to keep control of things

clients not supporting proxy SOCKS

[Paolo Pantaleo]

I would like to play chee onine, but i am behind a firewall...
Now i have a nice program called "your freedom" that acts as SOCKS 4
proxy, but there are no chess clients (as long as i know) that support
SOCKS.

So is there an easy way to use SOCKS proxy anyway? In win there shoud
be something like SockCap, or whatever, that let you send al the
traffic of an app to a SOCKS proxy.

I need to SOCKSify only one tcp connection, so I was thinking that a
good solution is to make the client connect to a local (fake) server,
and the server will send the traffic to the SOCKS proxy. Is there a
progra that can do that?

Thnx
PAolo

ethel?

Is it booting with GRUB or LILO?
You can send the kernel an argument for whatever init you want (e.g. 1) 
by just appending it to the argument list.  That will get you root 
access as long as GRUB/LILO isn't password protected.  If they are, you 
can try booting from a Debian CD (or Knoppix) and change the password 
for root.  That will work if the BIOS isn't password protected.  
Otherwise, you'll have to take the drive out, put it in another 
computer, and reset the password by hand.

Hi,

I've scoured the archives and docs, and googled the globe, but I cannot 
find an explanation for safely moving - as safe as it can be - from 
stable/sarge to testing/etch.

The Debian Reference has chapter 5, 'Upgrading a distribution to stable,

as well as stating, "After properly setting up /etc/apt/sources.list and 
/etc/apt/preferences as described above you can begin the upgrade.", 
without actually saying what needs to be done.

My best guess is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and apt-get update, apt-

process, please.

In addition, is there a written example of adding a package from sid?

no icons on kde 3.4.2 desktop after reboot

[Paulo M C Aragão]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has seen this problem and knows how to solve it.  
After a reboot, my KDE desktop shows no icons and a pop-up window shows 
the message:

Error - KDesktop
The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly

If I end the session and log in again, the icons appear.

I'm running KDE 3.4.2 on an up-to-date debian sid machine (kernel 
2.6.12-1-686). I use kdm and configured it to auto-login with my userid.

I didn't know what was the "file protocol" (from the error msg) and 
googled for:

kdesktop "file protocol"
kde "no icons"

but didn't hit anything that seemed relevant to this problem. The full 
error msg had no google hits at all.

I disabled auto-login, rebooted the machine, logged in manually, but hit 
exactly the same problem.

The impression I have is that whatever process sets up the icons on the 
desktop requires a process which is only started later, so that, when I 
end the session and log in again, it's then there, available.

I wasn't sure if I should post this on the kde list. I'll accept any 
suggestions.

Thanks for taking the time to read
Paulo

Hey Marco,

I thought I knew what you was trying to do, but now I think I don't :(

The rewrite rule that we started with does exactly that, i.e. it
rewrites the clients request domain1.com to www.domain1.com. I thought
this was what you were trying to do originally.

Anyway, now I think you are just trying to create site which has name
based virtual hosts, which respond to domainx.com and www.domainx.com so
here goes...

First you need your main site, let's call it www.domain.com and the
ip-address for your site is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

You create a file 000-domain in your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (you
actually create it in /etc/apache2/sites-available directory and symlink
it in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled). The file is something like this:

NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Re: Routine upgrade of packages tracking etch has hosed gnome

[Chuck Williams]

FYI, I resolved this and the follow-on problems fully by:
  1.  Upgrading all X components to version 6.8.2 (from etch repository)
  2.  Upgrading my kernel to 2.6.13.1
  3.  Upgrading to the latest nvidia driver (7676)
  4.  Moving to the xorg xserver
  5.  Reconfigure my virtual workspaces to the desired number (stupid
to have forgotten this, but it happened...)

After first fully upgrading X and moving to xorg, before the kernel and
driver upgrades, the xserver crashed on start-up with a signal 11.  I
suspect the upgrade to the new nvidia driver corrected that problem,
although the kernel upgrade could also be relevant as I did that at the
same time.

Google searches indicate many people are getting the signal 11 crash
using nvidia with the new xorg xserver.  The other essential thing is
to ensure that the dri and GLCore modules are not loaded in xorg.conf
as they conflict with glx (see
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt).

  Hi all,

I'm tracking etch and installed all upgradable packages on two systems
today, including current etch upgrades to version 6.8.2 of some X
packages.  During the upgrade of one of the systems, but not the other,
I was asked for the default xserver in a configuration question. 
Inadvertantly I left the default answer of xorg, while I run XFree86. 
The reconfiguration generated an xorg.conf that successfully copied all
the config from my XF86config-4 (even the TwinView settings, etc.). 
However, I was left with a version of some core component in gnome that
I'm not familiar with and cannot figure out how to revert.  I've moved
the generated xorg.conf out of the way and restored the default X server
to XFree86 (by doing a dpkg-reconfigure on xserver-xfree86).  However,
my gnome still has these symptoms:
  1.  There is only one virtual desktop instead of 4
  2.  The standard Debian desktop background does not work -- it is
selected, but the background is flat pale blue
  3.  The menus are different.  Instead of Applications and Actions,
I've got Applications, Places and Desktop,  The set of available apps in
the menus is also different.

This is probably something very basic that I'm missing, but can someone
tell my how to get my beloved version of gnome with its 4 virtual
desktops back?

Thanks for any help,

Chuck

Normally, /usr/bin/time -v, but apparently since 2.4 kernels a lot of

I think the entry is somewhere in 
/lib/modules//modules.*map ,
containing the module name and the vendor and product id.
However, don't change this. Just add a new line with the module name to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist
and hotplug won't load this module any more.

It seems to me that the conditions for the first domain say that
any hostname which is not www.doamin1.com should go to www.domain1.com.
I.e. Apache is doing exacly as asked (domain2.com != www.domain1.com) :)

I guess you want requests to http://domain2.com to go to the second
virtual host and www added at the front?  IIRC Apache looks for the
virtual host files in /etc/Apache2/sites-enabled/ directory in the order
their appear. That's why I use the 001-site1, 002-site2 etc to make them
appear alphabetically in the right order.

But back to your question. You need a condition to tell domain1 that it
only takes requests for domain1, i.e.,



 


VirtualHost for site www.domain1.com
...
 

   


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^.*domain1\.com [NC]


 


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.domain1\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain1.com/$1 [L,R]
 

   


or something like that, and same for other hosts as well. It's late so
double-check the syntax :)

And don't forget http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

Hope this helps...

Hi Simo,

I have test with your settings but I have still problems. This is the 
configuration of 000-domain1.com



This is the configuration for 001-domain2.com



ServerName www.domain2.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/domain2/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^.*domain2\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.domain2\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain2.com/$1 [L,R]


These are the results:

http://domain1.com --> http://www.domain1.com OK (and I see domain1 site)
http://domain2.com --> http://domain2.com NO (and I see domain1 site)!!!

I would want http://domain2.com --> http://www.domain2.com (and I see 
domain2 site)


Where is the mistake??
Thanks

Marco
   



Hi Marco,

Just like Angelo suggested, the configuration needs the ServerAlias
directives. If the requested domain does not match any ServerName, the
first one is served. And then the RewriteCond directive I suggested
earlier should not be needed.

 


NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80



ServerName www.domain1.com
   


 ServerAlias domain1.com *.domain1.com
 


DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^.*domain1\.com [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.domain1\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain1.com/$1 [L,R]

   



And for the second host ServerAlias domain2.com *.domain2.com

Of course you can change the *. to www if you want those servers only
respond to domainx.com and www.domainx.com.

Simo
 


Hi,
I have removed the Rewrite rule on my Virtual Host configuration file, I

Yup. I found that even those cheapest SATA controllers that were

only thing I can think of is that your monitor settings aren't right. I 
had similar problems for a while with my envision en-710e. my horiz sync 
and vert refresh ranges weren't right and consequently it couldn't get a 
good set-up for the higher res. I adjusted those numbers to some 
conservative ranges that fit the monitor specs and problem solved. 
youmight check the monitor specs and see if you can make that work. be 
conservative soyou don't fry the monitor.

You snipped the part of my email where I did follow the links :-)
I eventually got to the OK-looking existing file
/usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz .

Net install image

[olive]

Hi,

I tried today's net install iso file but it did not work.
I downloaded it from 
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/current/
I control checksum and it's ok.
I burned it twice.
I have an error while installing base system saying me some packages are 
missing. Seems file is corrupted.

Could someone check this.

kernel version and gcc's

[Tong]

Hi, 

Do I have to install the gcc that corresponding to what was using when my
kernel was compiled? 

Googling on the web tells me that it might not be necessary. But I
get the following message when trying to compile modules for vmare:

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.4.3", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.0.1". This configuration is not supported and VMware
Workstation cannot work in such configuration. Please either recompile your
kernel with "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.0.1", or restart 
/usr/bin/vmware-config.plwith CC environment variable pointing to the "gcc" 
version "3.4.3".

I applied the latest any-to-any patch, but still the runme.pl stopped. Do
I have to install a 3.4 version of gcc before proceeding? 

Thanks

With 2.6.XX kernels, in xcdroast main menu, you could try choosing

You might need to follow the links. This happens occasionally over
here, and I wondered about it as well. Try looking in /etc/
alternatives, you may find that the file x-terminal-emulator.1.gz
points nowhere, or is nonexistant. Or, it points back to a manpage in /
usr/share/man/man1 that does not exist.

Here, I have a message that refers to the manpage for ftpd(8) being a
dangling symlink (/usr/share/man/man8/ftpd.8.gz)

$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l ftpd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 27 Oct  3  2004 ftpd.8.gz -> /etc/alternatives/
ftpd.8.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l ftpd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Oct  3  2004 ftpd -> /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 32 Oct  3  2004 ftpd.8.gz -> /usr/share/man/
man8/wu-ftpd.8.gz

OK, so far so good - let's see what is in /etc/alternatives now:

$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l ftpd*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Oct  3  2004 ftpd -> /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 32 Oct  3  2004 ftpd.8.gz -> /usr/share/man/
man8/wu-ftpd.8.gz

Now, we need to check where ftpd.8.gz points to:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l wu*
ls: wu*: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Bingo. There's the dangling symlink. In my case, I'm not going to be
veryworried about this as I don't really have a need for an ftp server
(and there are better ones than wu-ftpd AFAIK). But I did find one
relating to vi - jsut had to correct the /etc/alternatives/vi.1.gz to
point to the right flavor of vi on my system (vim).

Should be as simple as set your DISPLAY to your own X. I.e.,

Thank you Aurélien Campéas! you message saved my day. 

I choose to follow up on this thread because it is more complete --
reinstalling xserver-xfree86 wasn't enough, still freeze my Box. 
As Kent and James have pointed out, it only worked when I un-installed
and re-installed all the xserver-xfree86, xserver-common and
X-window-system-core packages.

HTH for other people as well.

Pure X, i.e., xorg. I use startx to start my fluxbox, which was intact
during upgrading. Restoring xfree86 (from xorg) alone solved the problem
is the strongest proof.

Thanks God I have my X back. This is the worst time for me to mess up
with my working environment. I've been following Debian Testing for ages,
never had such bad experience before. I think I'd better stick with sarge
for a while, until the dusts settle down a bit. 

Thanks everyone for sharing! I love you.

Well, this question has no good answer because:
  1. It depends on the average mail size, which depens on your user
 demographics. AND on the expectation of said users... imap goes
 over TCP, which unless you did seriously deranged things, will
 adequate itself to whatever BW you have... but keep in mind that
 the usual timeout for IMAP replies is 1 minute (because of
 Microshaft Outcrook* products).
 
  2. It depends on MUA profile, some like to connect to the IMAP server
 using two or even more concurrent connections, and often do
 selects and lists on both connections.

  3. If you use webmail clients, either install a caching imap proxy
 locally in the same box as the webmail client, or watch it open,
 do major BW-hog stuff and tear down connections to the imap server
 every time the user causes a new web page to be displayed on
 the webmail client.  Webmail clients without caching proxies are
 EVIL.

Please feel free to complain to the glibc guys. Cyrus tries to open the
socket, gets an error from glibc, and prints out whatever that error means
to glibc.

one major plus point for icewm - it starts all programs with a window 
the same size as the available desktop. That's just what I like. 
Enlightenment brings them up with a size = 1/4 desktop area.

Thanks for those tips. Got most of it configured at least in enlightenment.

So I just tried icewm.

I came unstuck pretty quickly. Firstly it didn't really like gnome and 
took about 3 mins to start up instead of 5 secs. I think it has 
something to do with the gnome-session although it's difficult to tell. 
Some other window managers have the same problem.


Once icewm was running, I tried configuring it.

I didn't get a list of fonts to choose from. Shouldn't there be a 
drop-down font list in iceconf?


I'm not sure about the icewm panel. It looked like it had a fixed set of 
applets, and there are a few more I like, such as the keyboard locale 
chooser, program launchers, volume control etc which icewm doesn't 
appear to have.


The program switcher panel which comes up when pressing alt-tab is good, 
but I know there's an even better one out there where they are listed 
vertically. Can this be changed for another program-switcher module in 
icewm?

I was using totem-gstreamer and the changing gstreamer-properties didn't
make any difference. I was advised in the #debian-women irc channel to
use totem-xine as gstreamer was a resource hog. I tried totem-xine and
it works perfectly now.

Following myself...

The keybindings for enlightenment seem to be quite easy to change. I
just copied the /usr/share/enlightenment/config/keybindings.cfg to
~/.enlightenment/keybindings.cfg and edit it.

E.g. to make the logout-dialog come up with Alt-F1, find the

__KEY F1
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__MODIFIER_KEY __ALT
__ACTION __A_GOTO_DESK 0

and change the action line to

__ACTION __A_EXIT logout

This works especially if you don't use multiple desktops, as the Alt-F1
is normally used to switch to desktop 0.

Of course you can modify the Ctrl-Alt-Del keybinding or create your own
binding e.g. for Ctrl-F1

  __NEXT_ACTION
__KEY F1
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__MODIFIER_KEY __CTRL
__ACTION __A_EXIT logout

And you can make the Alt-Tab to bring up the task list

__KEY Tab
__MODIFIER_KEY __ALT
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__ACTION __A_FOCUS_NEXT

by changing the action line to

__ACTION __A_SHOW_MENU "taskmenu"


And so on...
