Greg,

The OP's question is a bit deeper than that. There are some files which are
not readable by anyone other than root. For example, /var/log/messages
which is readable only by root. The question is how to copy those things as
well. (The above file is a bad example, since in this particular case you
can add the user to the 'adm' group and read the file. But you get the
general idea).

Sorry to come up again with that problem. I thought  that Nigel gave the 
solution, because installing libdvdcss2 made my computer play all kinds of 
dvd's.

Last week I installed libdvdcss2 on the third computer with that error, but 
here it did not work. With commercial dvd's still the error:
 cannot find plugin for MRL
occurs.
w32codecs are installed.
Something else still is missing. How can I find out, what I have to install?

Thanks for help

OK, but your original question should have been clearer. I still don't
really understand the situation. The 'key' option is for WEP passwords;
for WPA you need 'wpasupplicant'. What's this 'eXtra' password you're
asking about? What kind of authentication is this?

I do it all the time... as root on the "target" machine and as myself on
the "source" machine.

Most configuration are readable by regular users.

So for example I want to use "/etc/apt/sources.list" on the new machine,
form a machine I already have everything set the way I like it. Here is
what I do:

ssh target_machine
sudo su -
cd /etc/apt/
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/apt/sources.list .
blah_blah_blah output

The only thing you have to allow is password login for your username...
and you are good.

While it may be frowned upon, you can always set 
'PermitRootLogin without-password'  in your sshd_config, and use key 
authentication for root.  In a secure environment, it works great, root 
can login, but no passwords are allowed.


Also, depending on how many servers you have at home, or even at work 
where this might be of more use, would be to set up cfengine.  It can be 
tricky at first getting it up and running but once you do, it's great. 
You can control config, send out scripts, binaries, packages , or what 
ever.  It's really handy. http://www.debian-administration.org/ has some 
great how-to's for it, amongst other things.

Since it's a daemon I assume it's in the /etc/init.d/ directory, so a
simple

/etc/init.d/art start

Should do. (I say tab because I'm not sure if there is a d at the end of
not, it should autofill otherwise though). If it's not there run
"updatedb" as root and try locating something along the lines of
bin/arts, and see what that turns up.

Kino is a video editing program available from Etch's repositories, and
blender is also available. For cinelerra and lives, you need to add the
following repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
deb http://giss.tv/~vale/debian64 ./
deb-src http://giss.tv/~vale/debian64 ./ 

Also, before adding the multimedia repositories, install the
debian-multimedia-keyring package, so that you'll not get irritating
messages about unverified or untrusted sources.

If you are using iceweasel, there are nice extension called Adblock plus,
Adblock plus: Element hiding helper. Once you install these extensions, you
can right click on the ads and block them. Very easy to use than privoxy.


There's also Flash Block or NoScript.  I have both installed.  For
sites that I allow to run scripts, I still have the flash animations
blocked by Flash Block.  If you have both, make sure you set NoScript
to block flash, since Flash Block uses javascript to, well, block
flash.  If NoScript isn't handling flash as well, you'll get no flash
blocking on untrusted sites, and that's probably not what you want.

I've discovered a feature of Debian cron that I think is not present
in traditional Vixie cron, namely the directory /etc/cron.d
It is explained in some additions to the traditional cron man page.
It is a line in this directory that starts anacron at 7:30am on my
computer. All set up as part of a standard install. It works, and
not that I know how, I can make it do its stuff when I want.

how to scp from one box to another with no root ssh?

[Douglas Allan Tutty]

In the past, to move config or script files from one box to another on
my home network I've used scp or rsync.

However, recent discussions on the list have pointed out that root login
with ssh should not be allowed.

How then to copy files that either only root can read or only root can
place, or that need owner/permissions to be unchanged?

I have sshd setup to only allow ssh based on pre-existing keys (no
password login allowed), and it only listens on the local interface, and
I've got shorewall running and doesn't allow ssh to/from the net.  

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Doug.

Really annoying! Volume % window that won't go away. After etch upgrade.

[A. F. Cano]

Greetings one and all,

I had previously posted about my upgrade to etch on a thinkpad 600E
that went extremely well.  I'm now fixing up all kinds of issues
manually after the same sarge -> etch upgrade on a Dell 8600.

The most annoying and urgent is that on login with kdm, a window
pops up right in the middle of the screen (quite large too) with
"Volume" in extremely large letters and a % status bar which
remains at 0 no matter what I do with the mixer volume control.

Actually, raising the volume with either kmix or alsamixer, does raise
the volume but it immediately goes back down gradually, as if
something is lowering it behind the scenes.  This window has no
border and is unkillable even with xkill.  It also stays if the
foreground, so I can't even hide it.

Killing kmix has no effect, this window comes from somewhere else.

The 8600 has an AC97 and modem/soundcard.  This was an issue in
sarge because of the interaction of the two, but while I was running
a 2.4 kernel, the pctel modem worked fine.  Since I moved to 2.6
the modem has never worked (couldn't even compile it or load it),
although sound was fine.  Since the upgrade, kmix sees both devices:
the modem and the sound card.  Both can be selected and configured.
Yea!  But the master volume is being pulled down by something and
the %$*!@ window won't go away.

I have installed the smartlink modem (sl-modem-daemon) which is
apparently the preferred modem for this machine.  It went in without
a problem.  I look forward to using it as an answering machine since
it apparently does voice.

lspci reports the following:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM 
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 
Modem Controller (rev 01)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go 
AGP 8x] (rev a1)

I had been running a custom-compiled 2.6.18 kernel under sarge.  After
the bulk of the upgrade, I installed the current 2.6.18 source and
recompiled it with the current (4.1) gcc.  I also compiled the nvidia
driver.

Does anyone know where this window comes from?  What process should I
kill?  It remains up even when all other windows are put away to see
the desktop.  I'm using the nvidia driver, which has been working just
fine for years under sarge.

Does anyone know why the volume is being lowered automatically?  I don't
see CPU usage, as if some process has gone crazy.

I'm wondering if might have installed a trojan during the upgrade.  Some
downloads gave warnings about signatures.  Perusing the output of 
ps aux I see this:

root 20392  0.0  0.2   3792  1388 ?S17:47   0:00 -:0

What the %&*# is a process called "-:0"?

pstree 20392 gives this:

kdm---startkde-+-kwrapper
   `-2*[ssh-agent]

Which makes sense.  The window pops up unpon graphical login, but
ssh-agent?  Is this normal?  I'm wondering if the :0 refers to display
0, but that process name is strange...

Thanks in advance.  I anxiously away any hint or solution.  I really
want to get rid if this window in the middle of my screen.

A.

The proper way to do this is by having privoxy between your browser and

TKIP error messages with WPA wireless on Etch

[mh4s]

Hi,

I recently installed Etch on my Dell Latitude D610 laptop. Wireless seems to be
working fine, but I am getting TKIP error messages in the syslog every few 
seconds.
Does anyone know what these error messages are? Following is an excerpt from 
the syslog
(with numbers changed):

Apr 13 20:40:55 localhost kernel: printk: 11 messages suppressed.
Apr 13 20:40:55 localhost kernel: TKIP: ICV error detected: 
STA=00:12:e8:d3:80:21
Apr 13 20:40:55 localhost last message repeated 2 times
Apr 13 20:41:01 localhost kernel: printk: 8 messages suppressed.
Apr 13 20:41:01 localhost kernel: TKIP: received packet without ExtIV flag from 
00:12:e8:7b:15:44
Apr 13 20:41:15 localhost kernel: printk: 5 messages suppressed.
Apr 13 20:41:15 localhost kernel: TKIP: ICV error detected: 
STA=00:12:e8:d3:80:21
Apr 13 20:41:16 localhost last message repeated 2 times
Apr 13 20:41:21 localhost kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed.
Apr 13 20:41:21 localhost kernel: TKIP: received packet without ExtIV flag from 
00:12:e8:7b:15:44

The numbers look like MAC addresses, and several different ones show up. None 
of them
are the address of my router or wireless card. Are they MAC addresses? If so, 
maybe they are coming from other wireless networks in range. If so, how can I 
prevent them from being received? Is it a problem to have messages like this 
being
written to the syslog every few seconds?

Some other background information:

My home network has
a wireless access point that uses WAP encryption with TKIP. The wireless card
in my laptop is a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN 
Controller
(rev 03)" (from lspci output).

I installed wpasupplicant and bcm43xx-fwcutter, and placed the following entry
in my /etc/network/interfaces file: (ssid and psk key altered, of course)

allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid thessid
wpa-key_mgt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto WPA
wpa-pairwise TKIP
wpa-group TKIP
wpa-psk thekey

Thanks,
Mark

my three (home) systems that had spontaneous reboots were power supply
(twice) and dying mobo (once, probably solder issues). Never
underestimate the power of the power supply ;)

can you boot into the older kernel as a means to eliminate (or not)
the kernel as the source of the problem?

That solved my problem. Now saving is *really* fast, even in a large

Communications throughput problem

[Alan Chandler]

I run a Debian Etch server which acts as my gateway/firewall to the 
outside world. The firewall os a simple iptables script thatI made.

I also run a linux desktop, which connects through the server and out 
onto the internet.

When I try and download from youtube, the transfer rate is about 
7KBytes/sec.

When I try the same directly on the gateway/firewall I get 10 times the 
bandwidth.

What could be limiting the flow of information

You can restore the XUL-based dialog again by setting
"ui.allow_platform_file_picker" in about:config to "false".

I should have written "saving a page" is incredibly slow.

Now it's clear that this only is the case, if the download directory
has many files in it. (Other applications manage, so it is still a
problem.)

But now I'm wondering.

Earlier versions of firefox had their own "save as" dialog - giving
for instance the choice whether the just the html page, or the whole
page should be saved.

But now at least I get something which looks like the standard gnome
"save as" dialog. (I use KDE.) It's three part: Name, Save in Folder,
Browse for other folders. No choice of what to save. Is that now for
all etch users the case? Or could it be an indication of where lies my
problem? Why would this gnome "save as" dialog considered to be an
improvement?

Thanks again!

compilation issues with a Gnome based app.

[Bob McGowan]

Hi, all,

I'm trying to build an application called gASQL, version 0.6_0.2.94 and 
it's bombing out in the configure script.


Bottom line is that it wants to use 'gnome-config' to find out about the 
parts that are installed, but when run the way the configure script sets 
it up, it fails to find things like bonobo, which so far as I can 
determine are there.


I have been able to get pkg-config to provide the information needed, 
and have munged around in the the configure script, trying to figure out 
what else might be going on.


So, I find that configure tries to compile a C program to figure 
something out about the Gnome environment, and fails as it can't find 
the include file 'bonobo/gnome-object.h'.


I used the Debian package search page to try and find this file (in all 
four releases) and it came up empty.  A Google search does find 
references to it, so it must be in some dev package I can't find.


Any ideas on where to go from here?

Thanks,

Bob

I tried this: But I can't change the download directory by setting it
in the preferences, in the prefs.js file or using
about:config. Firefox continues to save in the last directory I used,
whatever the settings. Very strange that.

I can change it by just choosing some other place in the the "save as"
dialog, but I cannot get rid of that dialog (in theory for instance
setting "Saves files to Desktop" should get away with that dialog, but
it doesn't).

When I change the directory things indeed get fast enough: But this is
still a problem, as I prefer to have everything in the same directory.

I also wonder, why this suddenly becomes a problem: The Debian sarge
Firefox didn't have that problem.

I checked those libraries. They seem to be all installed ok and there
are no stale libraries laying around, as far as I can see (using
ldconfig).

Thanks a lot!

Before I wrote that, I tested it: in Nautilus, the exact same set of
bytes when called foo.txt is "plain text document", and when named
foo.py is called "Python script", even if it's not a Python script.

One is for the machine to boot and the other is for the hypervisor to
boot.

I am not really sure which one is which, but the vserver is the
hypervisor booted one.

I'm pretty sure Iceweasel uses the shared MIME spec from freedesktop.org
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications_2fshared_2dmime_2dinfo_2dspec

If you are using a desktop environment, it should already use this, so
setting realplayer as the app for .ram files should be done through
whatever tool you usually use. If you're not in a DE, I think you can
use xdg-mime from the xdg-utils package.

Oh, and you should definitely file a bug about this, the realplayer
package should provide a .desktop file with mimetype specifications.

Adding new disc

[John K Masters]

I have just added a new 250GB disc to my etch setup. 4 partitions, all
ext3. Changed /etc/fstab to mount to /music /data /images /shared. So
far no problem but the new partitions show up on my desktop as 40.6 GB
Volume, 56.4 GB Volume etc. 

I don't mind them showing on the desktop but how can I change the
labels?

I think the problem was that the ipw3945d didn't finish
loading/recognizing my card, which explains the message after Apache.

I moved ipw3945d to the near beginning, and networking to the end and it
seems to work perfectly fine.

How to add Iceweasel file associations ?

[Tim Day]

After a successful upgrade to etch, I'm looking at the shiny new
Iceweasel 2.0.0.3.

If I 
  Edit->Preferences->Content->FileTypes-Manage
I see a list of extensions for various things (SWF, PDF, RA etc)
but how do I add new ones ?  There's buttons to change existing actions
or remove them, but none to add new ones.  What's the trick ?  Something
involving /etc/mime.types and /etc/mailcap instead ?

(Specifically, I want to get the .ram files linked from the BBC player's
"Launch in stand alone player" to actually launch realplayer rather than
just complaining there's no associated helper function for the filetype;
they work just fine if I download them and provide them to realplayer on
the command line, but it's a bit roundabout).

Thanks for any help
Tim

question re. diff. kernels

[Miles Fidelman]

Hi Folks,

I've just been busy installing Xen, and noticed that there are two 
different kernels available for the 686:


xen-linux-system-2.6.18-4-xen-686
and
xen-linux-system-2.6.18-4-xen-vserver-686

Both described as "XEN system with Linux 2.6.18 image on i686."

which seem to depend on

linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686 


and
linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-vserver-686 



both described as "This package provides the binary image for Linux 
kernel 2.6.18 on i686 and compatible machines."


I can't seem to find anything to tell me what the difference is between 
the two - which has my curiousity raised.


Anybody know what the difference is?

Thanks much,

Miles Fidelman

I think the deciding factor for an email attachment is the MIME type
that is specified in its "Content-Type:" line in the raw message. At
least, this is how people with broken mailers manage to confuse my MUA
in spite of my best efforts to set up my .mailcap file correctly.

Sorry. It is from crontab. And, it shows that if anacron is installed
run-parts is not run for cron.daily (I think).

GNOME (and other DE's I expect) happily uses magic number tests to look
up the mime type for files without extensions. 

That said, I agree that it's best to always add an extension.

Are you sure this snippet is from /etc/anacrontab? It looks like a line
from /etc/crontab to me. (I cannot find "/etc/anacron" anywhere in
Debian, so I assume you mean "...tab".)

Do you by any chance boot the system around 7:30am every day? Anacron's
default delay for the daily jobs is 5 minutes. 

> There is something, somewhere, that is doing this. Where?

This is how I understand it:

/etc/init.d/anacron starts anacron as a daemon in the background during
boot (unless the system is running on batteries at that moment). This
daemon handles all the jobs specified in /etc/anacrontab. The default
configuration causes anacron to take over all daily, weekly and monthly
cronjobs. Anacron determines how many days have passed since each of
these jobs was run the last time. If this period is longer than what is
specified in anacrontab then anacron will start the job after a certain
delay (which is also defined in anacrontab). The "0anacron" jobs make
sure that the timestamps in /var/spool/anacron get updated whenever
cronjobs are executed. 

The "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron" statements in /etc/crontab make sure
that cron does not interfere with anacron, even though cron still takes
care of the hourly jobs itself.

I stopped relying on browser's bookmarks. That is because they are not

These days, I am using google's toolbar and using their bookmarks
facilities provided by www.google.com/bookmarks

just my 2 cents

Well, some good news for you: I have a machine that *never* worked with 
google earth through several nvidia driver updates. However, after writing 
my last message, I thought, "hmmm, I should try that again, since I haven't 
updated the driver in the last month or two" ... and at least that one 
machine *does* now work correctly, instead of getting a weird scattered 
display.

For reference:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] 
(rev a2)

$ apt-cache show nvidia-glx | grep Version
Version: 1.0.9746-2

So, 1.0.9746 at least works with this card. The immediately previous 
released nvidia driver did not.

That worked! I just changed the command above by removing the 'rw' and 
replacing it with "fmask=0777,dmask=0777" and it worked. Thanks so much for 
the help!

no.  vt100 never did color (unless you count "black" and "white", which
varied according to the phosphor used).  Some terminal emulators add
the ANSI/ISO controls for colors.  But they're not vt100's.

vt100

(noting that the "vt100" terminal description refers to a real hardware
terminal that required padding, one may want to suppress the padding,
e.g., "man ncurses" and see the comment regarding NCURSES_NO_PADDING).

The maintainers have it of course, after all, they are the ones who
build it in the first place and upload it.

I guess the debian dir of the package in question is available from the
kernel maintainers svn repo if you want to build your own packages and
not wait for it to move out of NEW.

question about cron and anacron

[Paul E Condon]

When I moved to Etch, I noticed something strange, and
am looking for an explanation. My cron job for doing 
daily backups started doing the job at the wrong time.

It turns out that the move to Etch somehow installed
anacron on a system that is supposed to be left on and
it was anacron that was actually running the script.

But how? I look at the code in /etc/crontab and in
/etc/cron.daily/0anacron and I think I see that it
is impossible for anacron to be run on a daily basis:

/etc/anacron contains a line:
25 6* * *   roottest -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts 
--report /etc/cron.daily )

This line invokes run-parts only if anacron is _not_ installed. And,

$ ls /etc/cron.daily/
00test-env  10chkpnt  aptitude  exim4-base  logrotate  modutils  standard
0anacronapt   bsdmainutils  findman-db samba sysklogd

And,
script 0anacron contains:
#!/bin/sh
#
# anacron's cron script
#
# This script updates anacron time stamps. It is called through run-parts
# either by anacron itself or by cron.
#
# The script is called "0anacron" to assure that it will be executed
# _before_ all other scripts.

test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || exit 0
anacron -u cron.daily


But how is this script executed usefully? Since cron doesn't do
run-parts /etc/cron.daily if anacron is installed?

Further, it appears that cron.daily scripts _are_ being run daily, ---
at 7:35am.  Why 7:35am? Where is that time set? It is _not_ a time
that is in /var/spool/anacron. I can't think of anywhere else to look.

There is something, somewhere, that is doing this. Where?

What's the difference between scribus & scribus-ng?  According to

Has it been considered that we could automate the recommended
steps to upgrade? That would certainly help users avoid some of
these gotcha's.

How about a package just for the upgrade? I realize that maybe
not all steps can be fully automated, but I think that can be
handled gracefully.

I am fairly new to Debian, but not averse to contributing. If
this is something the team would like to have, I would consider
doing it (with help).

How are you mounting the samba share on the debian box?  AFAIK you need
to specify the mount options to allow write access for your user, the
default is read only.  This is not a limitation of NTFS write as the
host win box does the writing to the disk.

Here's my mount command executed from /home/randy;

smbmount //myserver/wwwroot wwwroot -o 
usernane=myusername,password=mypassword,rw


Just to mention again 'myusername' was permission set to full control on the 
wwwroot directory on the win box.


Thanks,

Have you tried the dmask and fmask options to smbmount to force the 
mounted filesystem to be writeable?  I think this is how linneighborhood 
does it.


Also, on the win box (XP here) in `sharing and security` tab of the 
properties for the shared folder I tick `allow users to modify files` or 
something similar.

Oh, we could get into a nice discussion about this one.  But since the
list is now full of people asking questions, we'll keep the off-topic
stuff to a minimum.

I will agree with you that file extensions make it handier to see what
things are at a glance, and leave my counterpoints alone.

It looks like your X setup is OK as far as the graphics card is
concerned (see my remarks below). Maybe the problem is in some weird way
related to the pcspkr module which controls the system bell. You could
try to (un)load the module and see if that makes any difference. The
whole thing might be a very rare coincidence of several factors;
tracking it down might be difficult and not really worth it.

You can comment out these paths in the "Files" section of your xorg.conf
to make these (harmless) warnings go away.

I see the same here (Intel Q965 chipset) and I never noticed any problem arising
from it.

My laptop (Intel 855GM chipset) works without trouble in spite of
similar "Bad V_BIOS" and "Extended BIOS function ..." warnings. I think
these are symptoms of minor glitches of the driver. 

You have to adjust the values in the "Monitor" section of xorg.conf if
you want to get rid of the "hsync range" message.

[ snip: the same for other visuals ]

Same story: I get these warnings too and I never had problems. I guess
these messages will go away once AIGLX support for the Intel chipsets
has matured a bit more.

I can bet.  I suppose it makes a difference how many users are on the
machine.  For me it's just me, so if I screw something else I get to
yell at myself, but if I had 200 users yelling at me for doing something
like that I might decide that it's better to jump off a bridge.

Still, backups to the rescue.  Once can never can underestimate the
importance of a good backup plan.

Here's my mount command executed from /home/randy;

smbmount //myserver/wwwroot wwwroot -o 
usernane=myusername,password=mypassword,rw

Just to mention again 'myusername' was permission set to full control on the 
wwwroot directory on the win box.

Thanks,
Randy

Imagine the howls of outrage if apt-get decided to scan thru

There would be much blood spilt, and I'd be one of those doing the

The FAM daemons spawned from the root one just end after the user does a
logout.

The root one stays there waiting to spawn a priv sep'd for the user.


That is what the problem is. The one that runs with my user-id is the one that
is started along with other daemons at the boot time. That is the only one
process in the box that named /famd/. There is no another one that runs as
root. Furthermore, I have no idea of /logout/ because I have not logged-in
since I never know how to use that daemon/service.
(The package was automatically installed maybe due to some dependencies.
Maybe I shall have it removed later since my box is a desktop and I don't do
things like monitoring file changes.)


From what you said, I guess it may be a bug I am afraid. I shall file a bug

report tomorrow if it really is.

How are you mounting the samba share on the debian box?  AFAIK you need 
to specify the mount options to allow write access for your user, the 
default is read only.  This is not a limitation of NTFS write as the 
host win box does the writing to the disk.

I haven't played with it myself, but here are some links, suggesting

And last, Erich Schubert have been working on SELinux for Debian for a

Deb 4.0 - Samba -> NTFS

[Randy Patterson]

Hey,

I have a home network with a Win Adv. Ser. 2003 box connected to my Deb Box. 
Everything is working as it should with no problem connecting through Samba. 
the permissions on the share in the Win Box, an NTFS partition, is set to 
allow full control to my user login. I have mounted the network share to a 
local directory on the Deb system /home/randy/wwwroot. The only problem is I 
can't write to the directory. I have read about the lack of write support to 
an NTFS partition so am I to understand that this applies when using Samba as 
well or is there a way I can get around this problem?

Thanks,
Randy

Re: Complete system freeze from virtual terminals / terminal emulators

[patprimate]

Thank you Florian and Kamaraju, I am impressed by the speed and
helpfulness of the Debian-Users mailing list :) As for my system, I am
completely up to date (clean install of 4.0r0) and the crash doesn't
happen in the tty1 terminals, Only inside KDE/X11. I checked the bell
settings in Konsole (settings ---> bell) and it was set to System bell
and not visual bell, BUT (the good news) I tried setting the bell
settings to 'system notification', 'visual bell', and 'none' and all
three of those settings allow me to use konsole with NO CRASHES :D So
it seems that the crashes only happen when the bell setting is set to
'system bell', but the funny thing is that I don't actually hear the
bell beep, the crash happens first (even though my sound SEEMS to work
fine for other things).

So here are the attachments you wanted me to add, if you could help me
figure out where to file a bug report and what info to include I would
be very grateful :)

Thank you both so much

According to the manpage, root overrides the rights you put in both
/etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny.

So, have you tried just to remove root from those files, and see what
happened ?

I just googled 'scribus floating point exception' and found your bug
report in the scribus bts. My guess is that they know a bit more than us
about how to fix this issue. We will only ask the same question from you
(backtrace, ldd, etc.). It maybe a corupt dependency, so reinstalling
all those may fix it. That worked for me once.
'apt-cache depends scribus|grep Depends' will show this.

Oh yes, I know all about that.  Ran into the iceweasel bug that did it
to me.  All fixed now.

There is such a thing as restoring a backup, which is what people should
all have.  The bookmarks.html file is enough for bookmarks, but for
cookies and passwords, more files are required.

Personally, passwords are not kept in my browsers for security reasons,
and cookies are routinely deleted, so it makes little difference to me
if they are gone.  Plus the fact that my Konqueror has the same
bookmarks as my IceWeasel and it is not difficult to copy them from
Konqueror to Iceweasel (even easier the other way around) means deleting
.mozilla has more of an effect on the plugins than on anything else.

[ snip: feeding the key to apt again does not change anything ]

BADSIG means: Apt knows the signing key already and the signature fails
to validate against that key. There either is a problem with this mirror
or you simply picked the wrong moment to run the update. (The mirror can
be in an inconsistent state while it is syncing to the main archive.)

Try again later and or try another mirror.

Think about what you would lose _if_ you delete .mozilla.  Bookmarks

One thing not mentioned is video capture. The whole process involved:
take video
connect video to computer via an interface (firewire, usb, etc)
use tool to do editing
use tool to do subtitling

the transfer from camcorder to computer file does not have to be done by
you, maybe you know someone who can do it and put it on a dvd. Other
wise, you need something like a firewire interface and a camcorder that
is computer compatible.

Are you using the old scribus package or the new scribus package
(scribus-ng, IIRC)?

Makes no difference. Both versions get a floating point exception

If you could provide the session showing the error message, we could

Hmm, I wonder why IceDove isn't wrapping your message.  Oh well, I'm too
lazy today to do it.

I agree with you on this account.  I owe a debt of gratitude to all of
the people who have endeavored to produce free software, and applaud
their efforts.  I just wish that more people could/would see the light.

I imagine in this case I am preaching to the choir.

Greetings;

I need a DTP program to functionally replace PageMaker.

I installed Scribus but it doesn't work on my system. I reported
the bug but after a few hours of activity I haven't heard anything
from them for several days.


Are you using the old scribus package or the new scribus package
(scribus-ng, IIRC)?

Regards,

Makes no difference. Both versions get a floating point exception
at startup.


what platform are you running on (hw and sw).  I have been running
first scribus and recently scribus-ng for several years and I have
never seen the kind of error you describe.  Also which debian dist
are you running?

David



  
I am running a P4 2+ GHz on an Intel mobo. Recently installed Sarge then 
upgraded to etch just before it went stable. did an upgrade just after 
that to make sure that everything was up to date. I don't think I have 
anything installed that didn't come from debian.org via either aptitude 
or apt-get.


Thanks.

What kind of on-board graphics.  A very modern nvidia mobo chip
might cut it, but your best bet is a $50 nvidia card.

512MB RAM *might* cut it.

DV straight from a camcorder is 17GB/hour.  And authoring tools use
lots of scratch files.  You may very well have to get a 2nd disk drive.

You apparently aren't a typical d-u reader, are you... :)

If your computer is a year or more old, it has an AGP slot for a
video card.  Perfectly adequate for anything but high-def gaming.

That's not The Unix Way.

Kino (which makes it very easy to pull video from your FireWire
camcorder) and dvdauthor will get you started.
