Re: Installing xfce 4.6 on Lenny
Matteo Riva wrote: Hello everybody. I have been using Debian for a while, I had an old system which went through many dist upgrades and I always played with testing and unstable stuff, even before I actually knew what I was doing. Now since I'm running a fresh and "clean" Lenny install I'm here to ask what is the correct way to handle packages from the testing branch, in case I want to use a newer version of some software (namely xfce in this specific case). Do I have to do a full dist-upgrade or can I just mix packages from stable and testing branches? Any input appreciated, thanks. I wouldn't mix stable and testing, get XFCE from backports if it is available or run testing.

AFAIR 's2ram -f' should be used only for testing.

Normally, I suggest to start updating machine(s) when testing is in the "frozen" state. Then check if all the critical software is functioning as it should. If not, file relevant bugs immediately. That way, when a new stable version is released, you can be assured that all the applications are working seamlessly. Anyway, here are my suggestions ... 1) Compile it from source, install it in say /opt. 2) If (1) is not an option, try to install it from backports. If the package is not available in backports already, request for it on their mailing list. Someone might package it for you. 3) Try to see if the problem goes away by installing a older version of gnucash. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you are asking this question, I should say "DO NOT MIX" although it probably work most of time for now until testing get more newer libraries.

I prefer a mixed system although upgrading/installing packages gets a bit more

manually.

Installing xfce 4.6 on Lenny
Hello everybody. I have been using Debian for a while, I had an old system which went through many dist upgrades and I always played with testing and unstable stuff, even before I actually knew what I was doing. Now since I'm running a fresh and "clean" Lenny install I'm here to ask what is the correct way to handle packages from the testing branch, in case I want to use a newer version of some software (namely xfce in this specific case). Do I have to do a full dist-upgrade or can I just mix packages from stable and testing branches?

So pinning here would prefer to install the older version of the package, which isn't what you want. I think that using 'aptitude -t unstable install' and listing both packages might help, but if Boyd is seeing a more recent version of xfdesktop-data than the one on yorku.ca, maybe your mirror is just not synced yet, or you might try another mirror.

Re: [SOLVED] Re: Ldap browsing script
Yes your solution is similar the one I found here :
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/administrators/22998-automated-ad-users-sync-script.html
I work on a mail server with postfix, procmail, amavis, spamassassin,
dovecot.
The authentication is base on a ldap server on another host.
The users maildir are hosted on the mail server.
The problem is to easily create the users maildir :
- at mail reception ? I don't know if it's possible
- at mail consultation (squirrelmail + dovecot) ? I was unsuccessfull
I choose to write a script that :
- list ldap users to file1
- list homedir to file2
- diff file1 and file2
- add new users homedir+maildir
- delete old users homedir+maildir
I don't know if it's a good solution but it'll be ok for me.

It's still doing the same thing. But what I'm not clear on is, it almost looks
like it is saying that it wants an _older_ version of xfdesktop4-data...but
then, I'm pretty new at this ;)

I would not do this; the expected default version is 2.4 on Etch. You
can explicitly refer to your desired version of python in your own code
without changing the default.

IIRC, /usr/bin/python should be a symlink to /usr/bin/python2.4 on Etch.

pyversions.py tries to follow the /usr/bin/python symlink to find out
what the default version is; this fails if /usr/bin/python is not a
symlink.

[ snip: this causes problems for all packages that depend on
python2.4-minimal ]
The first thing to do is to restore the /usr/bin/python symlink and then
run "apt-get install -f". Note that the symlink should use the direct
relative path to python2.4, without any directory components in it.

Good tip, but still no go:

Building dependency tree

Reading extended state information

emacs22 and version control
Hi, I upgrade my emacs from emacs21 to emacs22, but the default version control for rcs files are not working any more. According to http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Version- Control.html "VC is enabled by default in Emacs." and I never have to do anything before to get emacs and version control work for rcs[1]. Do I have to do anything special for emacs22? Further, "currently, it [emacs VC] supports ... Subversion", any one knows how to utilize it please? How about git? Thanks a lot [1]. As per http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/RCS-8.html "When editing a file with emacs(1) which is registered with RCS, the command vc-toggle-read-only (bound to C-x C-q by default) will check a file in to the emacs's Version Control, and then into RCS. Emacs will open a buffer where you can type a log message to be included in the RCS log. . .

I would dearly _love_ to be able to run Solidworks, AutoCAD, MicroStation, plus their related Civil/Mechanical softwares on a Linux machine, but that is just not happening. IF there were more of a push for Linux at the workplace (desktops not just server room) then the "money factor" would help bring the businesses around. As it is, there's no real incentive to produce a product that is cross platform when most of the users/businesses will have a Microsoft OS on the machine anyway. The last I saw was someone getting an old (ACAD 2000?) working on Linux through WINE. The other option is running it in a Virtual Machine, but then you have a performance hit on top of running a Microsoft OS since the software is not native. That just is not good enough.

function create_maildir

smplayer caching other applications?
Greetings from Here. While running fslint i came across a bunch of repeated files on ~/.smplayer. It seems that this application is caching other applications' stuff. Not only do i have Opera's and Firefox's cache, the same files are also under ~/.smplayer/.opera and .mozilla... There's also .Skype and .purple (for pidgin). Why is that? Are these applications using smplayer as a plugin and caching their stuff, while smplayer is doing the same? The only cache i could think of would be youtube's videos... everything else is regular browsing... and skype and pidgin?!

Noatun Title format properties
Hello,
When playing an mp3-song using noatun (KDE 3.5.10 and 4.2.2), noatun
displays the title of the currently played song in a format, that can be
configured in the noatun settings. (The playlist uses probably the same
format)
There's a line that composes the format of the title to display, that reads
(in my default config):
$("["author"] - ")$(title)$(" ("bitrate"kbps)")
That shows that it's possible to use keywords (properties) like 'bitrate'
or 'author' that gets evaluated (from mp3Id's I guess).
But I want the filename to be displayed, not the author, bitrate or song
title. The documentation has no list of valid properties and I tried 'file'
and 'filename' to no avail.
Can someone tell me how to display the filename and where I can find valid
properties (except for the source-code :-) ).
Tnx in advance

Issue with Maildir directories.
Hi all. I have a problem with my mail servers' web interface. On our previous mail server we used SquirrelMail, now we try to use RoundCube. But we have a problem because RoundCube doesn't see users' Maildir directories. Could anyone give me a clue why is it that? Standard folders like 'new' and 'cur' are mapped to 'Received' but other directories are not visible. Regards, R.
Ldap browsing script
Hi I'm looking for a simple example of a bash script that browse a ldap and create a homedir+Maildir folder for each user found in the database.
