Anyone can help me? thanks The current version of the package is 1:1.6.3, did you already try that one? Did you test the wget command as root or as your normal user? There might be differences that break the download for root, e.g. the http_proxy environmental variable. Also, the script uses wget with additional options, so maybe that is what causes the problem. If nothing else helps then you can edit the file /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree and change line 38 from verbose=no to verbose=yes . Then run "update-flashplugin-nonfree --install" as root and you should get more verbose messages about what is going on. Post the output here, it will hopefully give us a clue. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Alternatives are: After any xorg upgrade go to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions and (as root), make libglx.so a symlink to the libglx.so.### that is nvidia's. Xorg upgrades place there own libglx.so file. OR. There is a way to have nivida put their stuff elsewhere. Look at the --help for their installer OR Use Debian's versions (note that in the past, I had gotten a lower framerate with these but on the otherhand, they might install in cases where the proprietary ones do not). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

network management framework daemon
ii network-manager-gnome0.6.6-2
network management framework (GNOME frontend

I recall there is / was a problem with network-manager not liking it
when you have the '/etc/network/interfaces' setup with the wireless
interface. here is a copy of my interfaces file if it any help.

Re: hibernate s2ram so that I could sleep well
Shachar Or wrote: Hi! I've moved my desktop to my room, where I sleep at night and it is very close to the floor and to my head (I sleep on the floor (not directly, of course)) so the little noise made by the large silent fans is too much. I am thinking of suspending it at night because I don't like the time it takes to boot up. I'd like it straight up when I press the button. I've installed the hibernate package and the uswsusp package and vbetool and made dash my /bin/sh. By default, the hibernate script tries to s2disk before s2ram. This works as expected; I only had to configure the /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf a bit. When I try to make hibernate use s2ram, it seems to really suspend to ram (very quickly, I can only see the suspending progress bar for a split second) and the computer seems to either get suspended or turned off (how can I tell?) What mother board do you have? Does it have an ACPI compliant power LED, i.e., on my ASUS A8N-SLI Premium the power LED flashes when the machine has successfully suspended to RAM. What graphics card are you using? You mentioned tweaking hibernate.conf and having vbetool installed. Did you enable vbetool in the /etc/hibernate/ram.conf script? Have you tried manually issuing the s2ram commands? Look at http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram for the command line options. There might be some trial and error involved. When I press the power button the fans go on and the monitors turn on but they stay black and nothing seems to do anything. Not ++, not typing in 'shutdown -r now', etc. so there's a bug in the process. This is as far as I know how to go on my own. Help? I was, only just recently, able to get the ASUS board to successfully suspend using s2ram -f, but only after I removed the module ohci-hcd.

My /etc/network/interfaces file is very simple:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#auto eth0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#auto wlan0
You'll notice that the 'auto eth0' and 'auto wlan0' are commented;
that's because, as I recall, network-manager was bypassed if I didn't
do that. And I don't have any hard-coded IP addresses in there.

Perl understands the "@base" as an array here. So you only encode
"help.com" in base64. Use ' instead of " and you get
aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQ==
> $ echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | openssl base64
> aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQo=
Now the only difference is the new-line produced by echo.

The @ is special in strings inside " " in Perl, so you need to escape it
writing \@ or use single quotes.
> $ echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | openssl base64
And here you're adding a newline character after the address.
These two give the same result (which is neither of the ones you got
before :- ) ) :
$ perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); '
aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQ==
$ echo -n "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" |openssl base64
aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQ==

openssl Vs perl encode
Hi all,
I am sure that this is more of a security question and does not
pertain to 'debian', please advice me to re-route this mail to
appropriate list if you are offended.
I am trying to encode using base64 to get data for SMTP authentication
which i am experimenting upon. I stumbled upon this issue. I am not sure
why this is happening.
Say the text to be encoded is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
$ perl
use MIME::Base64;
print encode_base64("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
aGVscC5jb20=
$ echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | openssl base64
aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQo=
why are these two different ? Are'nt they supposed to be same ?

The .Xauthority file in your home directory isn't accessible to the firefox program running inside the chroot. Bind mounting /home into the chroot will make it work. If you don't want to do this, then the next best alternative is to copy .Xauthority into a minimal home directory inside the chroot. See copyfiles-defaults and /etc/schroot/setup.d/20copyfiles.

Hmm.. I misread you. The man page states: -u Operate in ‘‘unsafe’’ mode. The temp file will be unlinked before mktemp exits.

In your case, it is probably set to use the memory card when connected to the PC. When you set it to use the data cable, instead of the memory card, you should be able to use the serial interface (ttyACM0). I am not sure though that this is indeed the case here.

If you want to be on the safe side then you can check how many symbols are defined for keycode 26 by default. I would write my replacement command such that the number of symbols stays the same. For example, I have this with pc+de(nodeadkeys): $ xmodmap -pke | grep " 26" keycode 26 = e E EuroSign EuroSign EuroSign EuroSign Therefore I would use xmodmap -e "keycode 26 = e E eacute Eacute eacute Eacute" to get "é" and "É" with AltGr and AltGr+SHIFT, respectively. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I solved this so that I reinstall linux-kbuild-2.6.24, purge linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 and remove it's directory in /usr/src/ and install it again. -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you are new to Debian, stay with Etch and backports.org, plus debian-multimedia if you need multimedia applications. > I install the ntfs-3g package externally, not from the etch.

The ntfs-3g package that you installed seems to suppose that the "fuse" group exists on your system. Normally this group is created when you install the "fuse-utils" package. It may be possible to fix your problem by creating the "fuse" group manually by running addgroup --system fuse as root. I cannot guarantee that this will help, though. If it works then you should install "fuse-utils" immediately. > I will be inform you after checking , what is error showing when > installing new packages using aptitude. Aptitude will show the same error because it also calls "dpkg -i" to install packages. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
