Don't set the PATH this way. Specify the path list fully:

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH JAVA_HOME

Find out your current PATH before and add :$JAVA_HOME/bin to the end of it.


The first time I started and logged into gdm, it failed.
Then I went to /etc/ and changed environment permissions.
Ok, I managed to log in, but PATH doesn't have /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin
I can't run a program that uses java from the menu link
Only if a open gnome-terminal with any user and call the program, it works.

I know its possible to make a "workaround" starting everything thought
terminal, but it's horrible!
Or go to "/usr/bin" and "ln -s ..." everything in JAVA_HOME/bin
but that is not the point, I MUST know how to set PATH variable because its
ridiculous. I no windows user.

Both my Sarge and Etch installations have /etc/environment. You might

If it's obvious that /etc/environment is being ignored, you can place 
this line in ~/.bashrc


. /etc/environment

Or you can just place the PATH and JAVA_HOME adjustments directly into 
~/.bashrc.

Put a filesystem on it (e.g. ext3), mount it under /mnt, cp -a or rsync
(or even use mc) everything under /usr, then unmount it from /mnt and
mount it as /usr.  If it works, unmount it, change /etc/fstab, remove
everything under /usr and reboot.

Your main partition filesystem will now have additional free space
equivalanet to the size of /usr.
  

To add this space at multiple points in the filesystem:

* Use fdisk (or your favorite partitioner) to remove hda1
* Recreate hda1 as an extended partition
* Create as many logical partitions within the extended partition as you 
need

* Mount these logical partitions wherever you need them in the filesystem

Just a heads-up, that event number could easily change from boot to boot.
You can preserve your sanity by making a udev rule like the following and
put it (or a symlink) in "/etc/udev/rules.d/"

KERNEL=="event[0-9]", ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR *", SYMLINK+="lirc%n"

I *think* that rule should work for you Hauppauge card, but I'm making an
educated guess on the 'ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR *"' bit.

You can confirm/correct the rule by running the following as root:
  % udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/input/event1`
where event1 is the lirc dev you want.  Hopefully the appropriate match
rule is self-explanatory.  '*' behaves as a shell-like wildcard.

Not really.  Mainly because that old laptop is really old.  No other

Thanks.  I eventually got this working with that link and another really
useful one on X fonts:

http://www.klauser.ch/lxug/ch13.pdf

I did install xfonts-efont-unicode but in the end didn't need it.  Instead, I
set the default xterm font to this:

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

which is in the 7x14.pcf.gz file from xfonts-base.  It passes the UTF tests
I've tried so far.  I'm not sure how this is different from the efont
version, namely:

  -efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

other than a slightly different ptSz.

Re: PATH to java in X11

[Henrique G. Abreu]

I've created /etc/environment file like this
JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_12"
export JAVA_HOME

PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
export PATH

The first time I started and logged into gdm, it failed.
Then I went to /etc/ and changed environment permissions.
Ok, I managed to log in, but PATH doesn't have /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin
I can't run a program that uses java from the menu link
Only if a open gnome-terminal with any user and call the program, it works.

I know its possible to make a "workaround" starting everything thought
terminal, but it's horrible!
Or go to "/usr/bin" and "ln -s ..." everything in JAVA_HOME/bin
but that is not the point, I MUST know how to set PATH variable because its
ridiculous. I no windows user.

Major application resource leaks in Etch

[Marty]

While copying 30MB of text from a backuppc (web-based) log on a remote server, I 
ran into several problems:


1) Selecting the text using the Iceape edit->select-all menu option pegs the 
2.8GB CPU at 100% for tens of seconds, although it is much faster in subsequent 
attempts.


2) Each repetition causes two 60MB clipboard cache files to appear in /tmp. 
They persist after logging out of Gnome.


2) Pasting the text into kedit, or cutting it, pegs the CPU from 10s of seconds 
to a few minutes, and virtual memory usage approaches 2GB, increasing each time 
I repeat the operation.  (I stop before 2G only to avoid swapping.  I have no 
evidence that the leak is bounded.)


Since I am aware of the clipboard files I probably could probably safely delete 
them, but most users would be forced to reboot when their system mysteriously 
becomes unresponsive.


It doesn't appear to be Etch-specific.  I duplicated the problem in Sarge using 
Firefox, but the symptoms differed: the CPU usage delays were greater, but only 
one clipboard file was produced after each text selection, and this was 
reflected in 50% less virtual memory leakage.

My webhost is testing Roundcube and asked me to try it out. I took a
quick look:

I would say it is still in alpha stages because of various
inconsistencies in features. E.g. if you delete an email using the "Send
to Trash" button it ended up in the Trash only a few times while all
other times it just disappeared! The AJAXified(hence needs Javascript)
interface sometimes goes crazy with selecting a whole lot of text on the
page. One can't define filters yet. It doesn't have a pretty editor for
composing email. I only use text email but some of your users might want
rich text.

it only detects 4MB of video RAM

the best you can expect is 1024x768 with that amount of RAM, and that
is what it says it is using later.  If you have more RAM you may be
able to specify the actual RAM in the video section of Xorg.conf
file.  If you actually have only 4MB of RAM and 1600x1200 resolution
then you will have to change the DefaultDepth to either 16 bit or 8
bit color.

FLOSS support for signed PDFs

Hi,

A financial institution refused to enable electronic delivery unless it
detected Acrobat Reader installed on my system.  When I challenged it
on this, mentioning that I use non-proprietary apps for PDF reading,
the response was as follows:

Is there really no FLOSS app that can handle PDF signatures?  I suppose
the institution could use PGP or some other better supported
technology, but as long as they choose to use Acrobat's solution, do I
really have no choice?

I would be very grateful for further details, since I am an amateur with
a  problem.

The problem is similar because Debian Etch (kernel 2.6.18) is looking for
the firmware file in the wrong directory.  The error message reads:

/usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin/esfw54.bin : Not a directory

"esfw54.bin" is not a directory but a file and it is located in
"/usr/share/iscan/" (with copies in a few other places - just in case the
alternatives locations are easier to find)

The problem is worse, because it is intermittent. Whenever I reboot the
system, it is a gamble.  Sometimes the scanner is found and sometimes I
get the above error message.

I have no problems if I choose to use Debian Sarge (kernel 2.6.8).

All suggestions will be gratefully received.

This was discussed in this list some time ago.  JW Stumpel pointed to
his site explaining how to do it: "Configuring xterm for UTF-8".

http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/xterm.html

In short, you need to install xfonts-efont-unicode and configure
~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults.

I've been happily running xterm with unicode characters (using fluxbox)
ever since, including the Euro symbol.

apt-file knows everything there is to know about Debian package
contents.  If that's all it knows about xf86config, you're pretty safe
to assume there is no xf86config in Debian.

Have you considered reinstalling onto hda1 without removing hda2?  

Use debootstrap from your existing system.  Make a grub-disk (floppy, so
your laptop can boot it) so that you can set up your boot loader if
something happens.  

See the installation manual for installing from an existing unix system.

I never could get X working with Sarge's drivers.  I ended up keeping

Debian doesn't run that well on my old boxes, so I tend to use OpenBSD.
Their Xorg stuff runs just fine on video cards that don't need
closed-source drivers.

It looks like its giving you 1024 x 768.  What do you think you're

What resolution do you think you should get with 4 MB video ram?

This may help to start:
$ man at
and perhaps a script could be run to kill it as well, but I wouldn't

I've been stumped before trying to configure X on an old sarge system.
What solved my problem when all else failed was to load knoppix,
then extract the needed info from knoppix's X config file.  Ugly, but
effective.

I don't currently have rtorrent installed, but can you give a bit more
explanation or a pointer for future reference?  What differences in the
environment do you mean?  Which variables have to be modified, and to
what values?

As you see, "The Debian Way" is to use dpkg-reconfigure.

Often, Xorg will at least start by not using an xorg.conf file at all.

If dpkg-reconfigure doesn't give you a functioning X, you could try, as
root:

# xorg -configure

This should generate a basic config file that you can edit or at least
get some info to then plug into your dpkg-reconfigure answers.

Doug.

Changed nothing.  Thanks for suggestion,. but given the above, and

don't work somewhere!


Man page for it gave no clues either.

Is it just me or  was it easier when stuff wasn't dumbed down to

Thanks for that David. Slow is no problemo, as I'm on dialup.

With the help that's been offered, I'll get realtime working on Etch, and 
Lenny, one way or the other.

webmail for low-end VPS

[John K Masters]

Can anyone recommend a webmail app suitable for a low-end VPS. I already
have Postfix/Courier setup.

It looks like I have three choices:
1. Squirrelmail
2. Roundcube
3. Imp4/Horde

I have used squirrelmail before and was not impressed but have heard
that Imp4 is resource hungry. That leaves Roundcube, of which I have no
experience. Any suggestions?

If you google for "intex ethernet card linux" then you find a number of
complaints, stating that this card does not actually use the Realtek
8139 chipset. It seems to be a cheap knock-off chipset from Silan
Microelectronics; the confusing model number has almost certainly been
chosen on purpose.
 
The people in this discussion thread

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=441115

conclude that you need the "sc92031" driver for Intex NICs. This module
came into the mainline kernel at version 2.6.21, while Etch has 2.6.18.
(I can only confirm that the 2.6.22 version of sc92031.c has the text
"Rsltek 8139D PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter driver" in the source code.)

The best procedure for someone who is relatively new to Linux and Debian
might be to download one of Kenshi Muto's custom Etch installer images,
because they have the 2.6.21 kernel. ISOs for i386 and amd64 are
available here:

Sorry, I am confuse:
about two weeks ago my laptop hibernated normally when the ac adapter
was on-line, but now only the screen is sleeping.
If the ac adapter is off-line the laptop hibernates normally and when I
resume I get a message:
problem of sleeping, hibernate failed

There are two questions:
1 - Why I get the error message since the laptop seems (for me) hibernate
and resume normally ? (ac adapter off-line)
2 - Why the laptop doesn't hibernate when the ac adapter is on-line now ?

Thanks

resize the partition with /

[Manu Hack]

Hi all,

I have a problem with an old desktop running etch.  Before it was
running XP + etch dual boot.  But recently I have deleted the whole XP
 partition.  Now the problem is I started running out of space for the
etch.  I want to resize the partition so that I can install more
programs and stuff like that.  The current partition is like

hda1 - 5G  (before running XP)
hda2 - 1G ( etch is living here)

So I'd like to resize hda2 but I can't as it said I need to unmount
hda2 before resizing.  People suggest using a live CD but it's not
possible with my old laptop (I didn't even install etch using CD, I
can only install etch via goodbyemicrosoft.com).  USB boot is also not
available.

Any suggestion would be welcome.  What I want to do is to be able to
apt-get upgrade stuff as right now I have only <5Mb of space in hda2.

Thanks a lot!

Manu

OK - thanks. This just takes me to section 5.14 - default editor...I 
know you're trying but that doesn't help much ;)


It seems the bits of documentation I can find on the debian site don't 
match up with etch.  I cannot undertsand that and will not comment.

Also, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and  $ man xorg.conf.

Post errors from /var/log/ for more help.
  
The best I can do to determine my (PCI) card is read what's on the 
card/chip which says:


MATROX - MGA 1164SG-A

I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, which asked lots opf questions 
many of which bore no semblance of what xf86config used to ask. In 
particular something about a PCI Bus ID... 


I took the defaults when prompted as I knew not what else to put.  
xf86config in woody/sarge worked fine with this card - I know its old 
but c'mon...even shitty windows can provide a driver for it.

That's a 4 Mb PCI card.  Works fine with Version: 1:7.1.0-19 (Etch).
For some Matrox cards, you may be better off trying the generic vesa
svga server.


  
Lucky you.

Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/ ./

After apt-get update, you will see various 2.6.21 rt patched kernels, modules 
and sources (as well as most recent Ardour and Rosegarden to use them.

Re: Re: etch + xp

[Henrique G. Abreu]

if you lose your MBR, I think the easiest way to recover it
is booting from debian cd in rescue mode
type "rescue" before installation starts
then go to console, mount your hd, chroot to it and re-install grub
$ mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt
# I'm guessing that it's hdc1 where root ( / ) is.
$ cd /mnt
$ chroot .
$ grub-install /dev/hdc
ctrl + alt + del
your done!

hint: you will probably lose your MBR, like Douglas sad: windows is
megalomaniac

gdm 2.18.4 on X.org 7.3 using an ATI Radeon Mobility R250 video card - Does not look right.

[Levi Campbell]

When I first installed Debian, gdm worked like it should, but after
doing a dist-upgrade, it comes up looking garbled. I can fix this
problem temporarily by going to a console and restarting gdm. I'm pretty
sure it's a configuration issue but I don't know enough about X11 to be
able to tell, Where do I go from here?

Nope. XP will boot from another partition too. hda1 or sda1 is not a 
option
for it. But it will install its own bootmanager into the mbr. So save 
your

mbr first with dd (BEFORE you install XP). You can put the etch
bootimage onto your hard disk and call it by the XP bootloader by setting 
a

line to the XP boot.ini (save it on a usb-stick e.g. to transfer it after
the XP is installed).


But I want to install XP in another disk, different from which etch is
installed. So XP will install its own bootmanager into the mbr of this
different disk. Am I wright? Remember that I can tell the bios from what
disk the system boots. I gues I can use this in order to make the system
boot from the second disk, where XP is being installed, making XP ignore
the disk where etch is installed.


XP will install it into the Master Boot Record. That's the one on the first 
disc who is to boot. Changing the boot priority or the order of the disk 
could cause troubles.

You wrote, that you are Using the first IDE disc as

hdc

Normally the first disc is hda, so have you a DVD Rom or something like it 
connected as primary master?
If XP will write its bootloader onto the mbr of the 2nd disc if it is 
remapped by the bios I don't now. It is a risk to lose your bootmanager on 
the first disc if windows won't get the trick. Therefore I would save the 
old mbr for any evil case.



If you have a SATA disc:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/[your username]/etch.lin bs=512 count=1



Both disk are ATA, not SATA. The line is the same in this case?


primary master is hda
primary slave hdb
secondary master hdc
secondary slave hdd

If it is a primary master, the line is

dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/[your username]/etch.lin bs=512 count=1


Insert this line into your xp boot.ini (if XP uses the partition as 
C:\ ):


c:\etch.lin="Debian Etch"

That gives you a new bootoption in your XP bootloader. From there you can
start Etch again and repair the grub bootloader if you want to stick to
grub.


Thank you!


No problem :)

Windows XP will overwrite the MBR of the first drive listed by the BIOS (the 
one that is booted), so set the BIOS to boot from whatever drive you want 
Windows to replace the MBR of.  When you're done installing, switch it back, 
boot Debian, and set up grub to boot Windows with 'chainload'.

Back up your MBR first though.  And: when I set up grub to boot Windows once 
for someone else, I found grub's 'hide' command and used it to hide the Debian 
partitions, thinking that the less Windows saw, the better.  But Windows (XP), 
when those partitions were 'hidden' by grub, changed the partition types to 
Amoeba (whatever that is) and then grub would give an error on the next boot.  
Of course, problems like that should be expected when running Windows on a 
system.

Any references to XFree86 are outdated if you're using Etch. The Debian 
Reference was written for Sarge (which I'm glad of because I'm still 
using Sarge).


Try this:

usually such problems have to do with the differences of the
environment (bash variables) - you can customize the env. of cron to
overcome this problem

You use mutt, so setting up fetchmail, postfix, SpamAssassin &
maildrop or procmail shouldn't be that hard for you.

Re: euro symbol in xterm (fvwm)

[Steve Kleene]

I'm updating my own post.  On Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:36:09 -0400, I asked how to
select a font for xterms under fvwm that would display UTF8 codes, and I

I just discovered that "xfontsel -print" does show the string above as a
choice, even though I can't identify a font file anywhere with a similar name.
In any case, the font displayed by xfontsel is definitely not the same as the
font used by my xterm.

Ideally I was looking to resolve the problem on my Etch, and Lenny installs. 
Someone I know on the LAU list has just mentioned 64studio. Annoyingly the 
full install is only available on dvd for i386, and I can't burn dvd's. I'll 
have to try the live cd version.

It would be nice to fix realtime on Etch, and Lenny though, and it looks like 
I'll have to get my hands dirty, and attempt to compile a kernel using the 
realtime patches.

euro symbol in xterm (fvwm)

[Steve Kleene]

I'm testing UTF8 performance on my Etch machine.  Everything seems fine with
one exception: the Euro symbol doesn't display in my xterms (under fvwm).

If I go with iceweasel to

 http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/multilingual1.html

a Euro symbol is nicely displayed.  If I copy and paste the symbol into a
file, and run od on it, I get the octal sequence 342 202 254.
This is presumably the UTF8 code for the Euro symbol.  I can also generate
the code by feeding groff the code "\(Eu".  Unlike iceweasel, though, the
xterm doesn't display the Euro symbol.  (In general, I think it displays
only those symbols that were defined in ISO8859-1, although I am testing
the UTF8 codes for those symbols.  It does not correctly display the
ISO8859-1 codes unless I convert them to UTF8 with iconv.)

Xorg.0.log shows some errors about non-existing directories under
/usr/share/fonts/X11, and then sets FontPath to:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi

The problem is likely in my old ~/.fvwm2rc, which shows:

Style *   Font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

There is no adobe-times font on my system, so I don't know what font is
being substituted, or which font I should substitute.

So how do I find a default font for my xterms that will display the UTF8
Euro symbol?  Thanks.

'manual' x configuration - where's xf86config?

[Martin Waller]

duh!

My x freezes on start after I installed etch and I want to use 
xf86config to reconfigure it. What happened to that utlitlty?  I cannot 
work out what package its in.


Also, in the debian reference manual, at 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-xsrvr, it 
refers to xserver-common-v3 (I think I need this as I have an old matrox 
card)- I can find no such package in etch - is the ref manual out of 
date or something? Surely not?


Thanks for any help,

Martin

I don't know.  Never done it.  So its not just adding one line to an
existing filter, its learning how to run a filter in the first place.  I
only get a few direct spam per week so it hasn't been worth it.  Most of

Weird usb memorystick problem

[Iwan]

Hi,


I recently noticed weird behaviour with my USB memorystick. This is on
AMD64 unstable, with:

linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64
udev 0.114-2


I have defined the following udev rule:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="13e0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2517", KERNEL=="sd*",
SYMLINK+="usb/stick%n", OPTIONS+="all_partitions"

The memorystick has one primary partition (vfat).

When the stick is inserted while booting, udev correctly creates the
desired symlinks:

# ls -l /dev/usb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  6 2007-09-30 17:30 stick -> ../sda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  6 2007-09-30 17:30 stick1 -> ../sda1

However, when I insert the same memorystick after the computer is booted, only
the symlink to /dev/sda is created.

Also, the kernel messages are quit different in these two cases.

When I insert the stick after booting, the kernel log shows the following:

Sep 30 17:54:15 casper kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 10

memorystick inserted), I see:

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone on this list?

Trying to find a realtime patched kernel for Etch

[Nigel Henry]

I realise there are no realtime patched kernels on the main debian repo's, and 
have been googling a bit, and found this.

http://pkg-freebob.alioth.debian.org/lowlat.html

It says to add the line below to /etc/apt/sources.list, but after running 
apt-get update, and opening synaptic, I can't find a source pkg for the 
2.6.21 kernel.

deb http://pkg-freebob.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main

The only 2.6.21 kernel there appears to be a realtime patched one, but is a k7 
one. As my machine uses a 1.3GHz celeron, I don't suppose this is going to 
work, is it?
linux-image-2.6.21-2-k7rt8

Anyone any suggestions to get realtime working, if the above kernel is a no 
goer?

The problem I have is that when starting jackd there are loads of xruns 
showing in it's messages, and when playing a music app, horgand for example, 
I am getting static like noise every so often when playing notes.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Nigel.

But I want to install XP in another disk, different from which etch is
installed. So XP will install its own bootmanager into the mbr of this
different disk. Am I wright? Remember that I can tell the bios from what
disk the system boots. I gues I can use this in order to make the system
boot from the second disk, where XP is being installed, making XP ignore
the disk where etch is installed.

Both disk are ATA, not SATA. The line is the same in this case?

Before proceeding with major upgrades, I boot with Clonezilla
(http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/download/sourceforge/) and I create
an image of the hard disk. This image is written to an external USB hard
disk. Should anything goes funny after the upgrade, I can always revert
to the state before the upgrade...

PATH to java in X11

[Henrique G. Abreu]

I've read many forums and threads in debian lists, but no solution worked to
me.

I've downloaded and unpacked to /opt the jdk1.5.0_12
I didn't used apt-get because I need this specific version.

Then, I need to set java environment variables globally
And include /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin to PATH

I inserted in /etc/bash.bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin

it works to all terminals, but don't to X11
for example: I can't start Azureus from menu link

Then I tried /etc/profile
but it didn't work either

thanks,

Nope. XP will boot from another partition too. hda1 or sda1 is not a option 
for it. But it will install its own bootmanager into the mbr. So save your 
mbr first with dd (BEFORE you install XP). You can put the etch 
bootimage onto your hard disk and call it by the XP bootloader by setting a 
line to the XP boot.ini (save it on a usb-stick e.g. to transfer it after 
the XP is installed).


If you have a SATA disc:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/[your username]/etch.lin bs=512 count=1

Insert this line into your xp boot.ini (if XP uses the partition as C:\ ):

c:\etch.lin="Debian Etch"

That gives you a new bootoption in your XP bootloader. From there you can 
start Etch again and repair the grub bootloader if you want to stick to 
grub.

You need to enter:

I struggled for a while to figure out how to do exactly this, without
success.  I believe that cron does not work, since (at least some)
ncurses apps insist on being run from a terminal.

My 8139 card may be a bit earlier that yours, but I found that I had to load 
the 8139too module to get the card to work. try as root.
modprobe 8139too

If it works you can add it to /etc/modules on one line as below, and it will 
be loaded when you boot up.

I guess I tried every single control, they're even too many, but this

Alsa seems correctly configured (at least, sudo alsaconf gives no error).

Please post the output of:
lsmod | egrep 'snd|intel8x0'
amixer | egrep -i '^( .*capture|[^ ])'
Here they are. Please note that I have both cards installed, but I put on 
the Ensoniq after I got the audio problem, so I'm almost sure the Ensoniq 
has no relevance, at present.


I agree, let's ignore the presence of the Ensoniq card for now.

You probably already tried to reduce the Playback level for the mic (to

If you cannot improve the recording quality by reducing the Mic Boost
then you could try to successively turn all capture controls to zero
until you find the one that causes the distorting amplification. I
recommend using "alsamixer" for this; it has a curses-based interface
which gives you a good overview of the playback and capture controls.
You can switch between the two groups of controls by pressing the TAB
key; use CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT to select a control, CURSOR UP/DOWN to change
volume/amplification, and SPACE to toggle capture.

The names and the interaction of the capture channels are not the same
for all cards, unfortunately. Therefore you are left with trial and
error, but I am pretty sure that one of them will allow you reduce the
amplification to a reasonable value. The names of the controls are
sometimes confusing or at least not really helpful; for example, my
Intel ICH8 card has a control called "Digital" which determines the
amplification of the recordings. If I set it to its maximum value of 30
dB then I get the same kind of problems that you described in your
earlier mail.

There was no esfw41.bin in my system.  I added a line "usb 0x048b 0x011b"
to snapscan.conf and after this gimp ran 4 succesful color scans with
the Perfection 2400 before locking up on the fifth scan.  There is still 
no esfw41.bin in my system.

[apt-get] : failing update

Hi list !
I am running Etch on a quite old Thinkpad laptop which
had not been connected to internet for over two weeks.
Before this I had experienced no problems using
apt-get update. When I tried it yesterday night, here
is what I got :
