Thank you for that. In the mean time I found the answer to my last
question: how to get unicode keyboard input on a console as user:

kbd_mode -u

I just tried this: create a file in lynx with a name with accented
characters: works. But bookmarked it does not show correctly. But maybe
that is not what you talk about.

Anyway, I can go ahead for the moment.

Thanks again // Jasper.

AFAIK fam uses inotify (or dnotify, I don't recall which) when available.

SCSI hard disk connected to IDE interface ???

2006-12-25 Thread Alejandro

People, I have a Debian PC with a hard disk with the following features:

IDE interface

Is it possible to have a SCSI disk connected to a IDE interface ???

And if I want to put a seconadry similar disk, do I have to treat it as 
IDE or SCSI in order to see it on my system ?


Really thanks,

Also see the option "Use locale-based character set", which (when set)
overrides the Display Charset, and can be a little less cumbersome to
make lynx display as expected in xterm (non-UTF-8) and uxterm (UTF-8).

However - lynx doesn't accept _keyboard_ input in UTF-8 (something that
I'd like to do - between fixing bugs ;-)

Yup: that'd be FAM in not-very-good poll-files-for-updates

re: shutdown problem

2006-12-25 Thread Jude DaShiell
Apparently debian tries to use acpi by default and I suspect your bios may 
be too old.  You might try acpi=force lapic as two boot parameters on the 
kernel lines in menu.lst.  After that's done try aptitude dist-upgrade as 
root and when that's finished try shutdown -h now and power off the system 
if necessary and wait a minute then power back up and after logging in as 
root do shutdown -h now and see if anything improves.  I have a Dell over 
here with circa 1999 cmos and acpi won't run without acpi=force here.  A 
consequence I found with not having acpi running is that cd burning 
doesn't work.  I'm using the speakup version of debian but at kernel level 
2.6.18.  When I have this system shutdown, it actually works and the 
system turns off.

Got that one: o for options, Display Charset: Unicode( utf-8 ). It's
there, I previously overlooked it.

Then the next option: Assumed document characterset: can also be set to
utf-8. 

I use mcedit as editor. It actually does handle the utf-stuff. 

Problem: I can only write characters with accents as root, not as user.

So this is the next one. // Jasper.

...That is what I eventually did, and it made me feel really stupid.

Turns out it was a relic of some hacking I did years ago connected
with getting the machine to accept keyboard input from a keyboard
attached to a different machine (while still directing output to the
local display, so ssh etc. wouldn't do the trick). It had lain dormant
for years while I totally forgot about its existence, then suddenly
awoke and freaked my forgetful mind out...

You could be right.

I have a cron job that runs overnight and does:

/usr/bin/aptitude update 2>&1 > /dev/null
sleep 5
/usr/bin/apt-file update 2>&1 > /dev/null
sleep 5
/usr/bin/aptitude -d -y -f dist-upgrade 2>&1 > /dev/null

/usr/bin/aptitude -s -y -f dist-upgrade 2>&1 | /usr/bin/Mail andy -s "Package 
status"
sleep 5
/usr/bin/aptitude autoclean 2>&1 > /dev/null

This is corrupting the files pretty much every night.

However, if I run this script manually (after deleting the *.bin files) then
it completes successfully (I assumed it was the apt-file that was doing it
because I generally just run aptitude update when I do it manually).

Very odd...

upgrading from Sarge to Etch on an old PC...

2006-12-25 Thread Michael Fothergill

Dear Debianists,

I installed Sarge 3.1 r3 on a Gateway 2000 PC (133 MHz) with a 13GB hard 
drive I put in it.


I am going to upgrade to Etch RC1.

Because the machine is rather slow, I had to remove gnome and replace it 
with xfce4.


I noticed when I installed Etch on my 1200MHz machine at home that both the 
xorg, gnome and OpenOffice all start up much faster than they did when I had 
Sarge on the same machine.


So I am now interested to try out gnome rather than xfce4 on the old PC when 
I install Etch.


But I have a few questions.

If I upgrade from Sarge to Etch, will it automatically replace Xfree4.3.0 
with xorg?


If not would the command apt-get install xorg achieve the xorg installation 
in full?


I have looked at the docmentation on etch testing but although it talks 
about a lot of other things I couldn't find a list of commands to install 
the common packages used in a desktop install.


To get around this I looked in synaptic in my Etch install on my 1200 MHz 
machine.  The highlighted packages I assume are the ones that hav been 
installed on the machine.  For xorg, there only seemed to be one installed 
package, xorg itself, so I am confident that the command apt-get install 
xorg is likely to be sufficient to install it completely.


Please correct me if I am wrong.

But when I looked for packages with the word gnome in them there was quite 
variety.


I was thus not sure if the command apt-get install gnome or apt-get install 
kdm gnome would be sufficient in Etch to install everything needed to make 
gnome work.


In the case of Sarge I know that apt-get install gnome kde works for the 
window manager and apt-get install x-window-system work fine.


But my worry is that Etch may contain other packages that require a somewhat 
different

set of commands.

I could just wipe Sarge and install Etch from scratch to get around this 
problem, but I would like to try and make the upgrade work.


Your suggestions are appreciated.

Regards,

Michael Fothergill

Check .bash_profile for the original user.  It is probably sourcing 
.bashrc with code similar to:


# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
   . ~/.bashrc

and your new user is probably not doing this.

Is it possible to tweak the bootscreen ?

2006-12-25 Thread Niels Rasmussen
Hi list

I 'm running on a amd-64-Etch install with a 19" LCD-1280x1024:

I've found these two bootscreens from LinuxQuestions.org:

This one is a typical debian bootscreen, an what mine looks like:
http://home.tiscali.nl/isildur/d-i/nl/images/20.02_boot.jpg

and this one is from the gentoo distro:
http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gentoobootag6.jpg

From my perspective, I found the one from gentoo very nice.

So my question is: Is it possible to have something similar in my
boot-up ?

Just blocking "intellitxt.com" with adblock seems to work for me.

Hi,

Key is George Hein's finding on how to run yaird correctly to create an

I updated his wiki a little:
http://wiki.debian.org/USB-HD_Boot_Full_Debian?highlight=%28USB%29

I am having trouble, of all things, with USB connections to the mice and 
the apcupsd raemon, once I am inside.


I figured that out: usbhid was never loaded. On non-USB systems it is, 
not here. So I added usbhid to /etc/modules and all went precisely as on 
the originating Sid system *except* for the slow original initrd load.


Made more changes to the Wiki entry mentioned above.

I cannot answer to that, but I do have another question on my present
Lynx (-cur) on Etch: I don't get any characters with accents ! They are
left out and then another character might get lost as well, for instance
on the bottom of google.com there is a copyright-sign and then '2006',
which results in '206'.

I did not investigate much myself yet, but maybe there is an easy
answer.

As a sidenote on Links2: I had not seen it yet in its -real- graphical
mode, with the -g switch. It's fun to run it on a console, it is
actually a graphical browser completely independent of X. ( I think. )
For me it is not an alternative for Lynx, but it could be a nice as a
viewer from within Lynx

Thanks so far, // Jasper.

What about READING THE MESSAGES? How can we know what is going wrong if
you hide them?

Debian sid digikam help

2006-12-25 Thread rocky
Hey,

I have installed digikam on my Dell Inspiron 2200. I'm using Debian
sid. I used to be able to download pictures from my Canon powershot
A520 camare. Days ago I aptitued upgraded my system. And since then my
digikam even can download any pictures from the camera. When I plug the
camera into the USB port it says "Failed to connect to camera. Please
make sure its connected properly and turned on. Would you like to try
again?" I did not launch the digikam before I plug in my Camera and
digikam just pop up and gives me the above warning. Can any of you help
me out please?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: pppoe configuration - unable to ping outside

2006-12-25 Thread Anuj Singh
Hello Celejar and everyone else,
now second problemI have to create a gateway server with squid,
content filter (dansguardian) and virus filter, after installing debian
sarge things are ready, now facing problem with masquerading, as i have
to masquerade few machines. I am using shorewall iptables based
firewall. masquerading is not working, can ping my debian box but from
local to out threw my debian gateway server is not working.

I am free to use any other linux, and I want to use debian this time.

I went threw google guru, debian forums but not satisfied yet, hope for
an early response.. i don't want to give up with debian on this minor
problem but same things worked fine on rhel, suse, fedora. 

overall at the moment I am stuck to first problem over pppoe, personally
i want to use debian without giving up.

has someone found it working?? pppoe in GNU/Linux 3.1 (`sarge') after
fresh installation ??? 


regards 
anuj
