netscape weirdness and bus errors
I'm using /unstable, and a couple of upgrades ago some really, /really/ annoying netscape stuff started happening with 4.51. The first thing is when I have multiple netscape windows open, and close one, sometimes netscape will all go, and the entire thing has crashed with the following message: /usr/bin/X11/netscape: line 93: 6907[1] Bus Error $netscape "$@" [1] this is not always the same #, probably the PID or something. The second case where this happens is when I press enter after putting a username/password into a dialogue box. The netscape* packages I have installed are the following (sorry for the extra stuff, but I figured it's better to be complete): redpoint:~# dpkg -l netscape* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ NameVersionDescription +++-===-==-=== = un netscape (no description available) ii netscape-base-4 14 Popular World-Wide-Web browser software (bas pn netscape-base-4 (no description available) pn netscape-base-4 (no description available) pn netscape-base-4 (no description available) pn netscape-base-4 (no description available) ii netscape-base-4 4.51-1 4.51 base support for netscape un netscape-beta(no description available) un netscape-browse (no description available) un netscape-browse (no description available) un netscape-browse (no description available) un netscape-browse (no description available) pn netscape-dmotif (no description available) pn netscape-dmotif (no description available) pn netscape-dmotif (no description available) pn netscape-dmotif (no description available) pn netscape-dmotif (no description available) pn netscape-java-4 (no description available) pn netscape-java-4 (no description available) pn netscape-java-4 (no description available) pn netscape-java-4 (no description available) ii netscape-java-4 4.51-1 Netscape Java support for version 4.51 pn netscape-smotif (no description available) pn netscape-smotif (no description available) pn netscape-smotif (no description available) pn netscape-smotif (no description available) ii netscape-smotif 4.51-1 This is a pseudo package that installs a sta pn netscape3(no description available) rc netscape4 4.0-15 Popular World-Wide-Web browser software (ins --- Alan Bailward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.northco.net/alan Life is knowing how far to go without crossing the line.

Here the kicker, I > can change dirs to the invisable directorys, go figure, can you help? I believe there is a directive you can put inside the block to specify where the root directory is. This prevents anonymous users from going 'below' the home directory that is set for them.

Micha, I had the same problem a while ago, and was helped by a couple of people on the list. Here are the 2 lines from my /etc/apt/sources.list, I don't know if both are needed, but it seems to work for me(tm). http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome/gnome-stage-slink unstable main deb http://www.debian.org/~jules/gnome-stage-2 unstable main BTW, perhaps send what sucess you have to the list, I've had some problems with things like the gnome control center and panel applets, and am interested to see if you are more successful. --- Alan Bailward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.northco.net/alan "Conversion, fastidious Goddess, loves blood better than brick, and feasts most subtly on the human will." -- Virginia Woolf, "Mrs. Dalloway"

Some debian/gnome strangeness
First of all, thanks to Ben and Ed for getting me the right apt-get sources.list lines to find the hidden-super-secret gnome 1.0 .debs. I've installed them and things are kinda working ok. The main thing that's getting to me is the GNOME control center (gnomecc) and the panel apps. gnomecc runs, but as soon as I select any of the options from it I get the message: ** WARNING **: Unable reach the control-center. Exiting... Then I click anything in the window and it segfaults. The panel apps, well, simply don't work. I select any of them and it acts as if they should be there (no error messages or anything), but nothing happens. I know that this stuff is still pretty beta and that these aren't the official stable debs or anything, but if anyone has any ideas I'd sure be glad to hear them (as the package maintainer would as well ). alan --- Alan Bailward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.northco.net/alan Everyone hates me because I'm paranoid.
Re: Enlightenment .15.x for Slink (and gnome panel problems)
On 20-Mar-99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > deb http://www.debian.org/~bma enlightenment/ Thanks brian. However, when I went in and chose enlightenment to install, some of the dependancies were not available. libgnome32, libgnomesupport0 and libgnomeui32. Does anyone know where to get these packages from? I know that the gnome .debs aren't here yet and I am waiting patiently (please please please), but there are obviously packages available *somewhere* for these libgnome* stuff. On another note... I made the mistake of trying to install gnome-1.0 via source. I compiled and installed only a couple of the librarys packages, and now I'm suddenly not able to run a lot of the gnomeish programs. Running panel gives me a segfault for example, same as gtkicq (though gimp1.1 works fine). With panel if I rename my /usr/local/lib to /usr/local/lib.orig panel will display for a split second and *then* segfault. I've gone and removed all my gtk packages, or anything that remotely needs gtk or any of the gnome stuff, and then went in by hand to /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib and /lib to try to find anything that might be left over from the source code install, and cleaned it. But still no go. I saw in the list archives that someone earlier was having this problem, but I couldn't reach him directly by email. Is this a .deb problem (bleeding edge)? or are there libraries somewhere that I'm not cleaning up. I suck at reading strace output, but if anyone thinks they can figure out what library is conflicting or segfaulting, I'll send them the output :) I'm sure that it is something left over as my panel and gtk stuff was working fine before the source code install.

X fonts problems. nothing available for helvetica
Hi there. Appologies for re-hashing this. Just upgraded my system for the first time in a couple of months with slink. Everything mostly went right, but I have had some problems with X. When starting it, my windowmanager (windowmaker) complains with a message like: Can't load font -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*. Trying fixed. >From the following thread (http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9811/threads.html#01674) it seems that the fault is of the new break up in the xfont/xbase packages. The resolution from the mailing list archives seems to be nuke all of X and re-install. I'd rather not do that though :) (though it is possible of course). I've tried purging all of the xfonts packages I have, and re-installing them but to no avail. If anyone can help me 'easily' fix this, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks a lot.
