Sawfish crash - window titles missing
Hi ! Sawfish carshed on me the other day (I use Woody Gnome 1.4 BTW). All window borders just disappeared. Got it started again via the terminal: #sawfish ... everything back to normal ... Almost. Only some apps seem to have a title in the window titlebar (it seems to be only the apps which actively set the title, such as Evolution). Others (e.g. gnome-terminal) just have a blank titlebar. How can I get titles back again ??? Not critical, but would be nice to have. Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know about the howto's, I found information specific to French in the French Debian documentation. I don't know if there is similar documentation for German. Thanks, managed to get a little further with that. Still can't get Euro or European language characters in terminal though. Did you ever get that working ?

man / xterm display quirk - repeating chars
Hi all ! I get strange display problems in xterms using commands like man and info. Here's an example from #man man: sion, but [...] compile time. Also, by default, any cat pages[...]ip. Each `global' manual page hierary chy such a[...]n may have any directory as its cat Notice end line of line 2, the y from the previous line has been repeated. Sometimes the repeat occurs over several lines. I also noticed in doing the copy and paste into this mail that the extra y was not there (instead, the pasted text contained a '-'). This isn't exactly critical but it's a little annoying. Anybody else found this, or more importantly, anybody found a solution to this problem ??

There used to be (still is ??) a saying that you wouldn't get fired for buying MS. Redhat are doing a good job of taking up that position in the Linux world where a support contract acts like a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card since it allows you to pass the buck onto RH if/when things do go wrong.

maildirmake
Hi ! Half way through installing getmail. Docs mention that the maildir dir to which mail is delivered must already exist and that maildirmake should be called in order to create one. Where is maildirmake ? Even dpkg -S maildirmake says it's not found (does dpkg -S search non-intalled packages at all ??). Or can someone point me to an alternative. While I'm here: my plan is to have getmail for inbound mail from my ISP and nullmailer for outgoing. I'm the only one on the machine and it connects straight to the ISP. Anybody else running/tried such a setup ? Does it work well ? Thanks in advance, Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That did the trick, thanks, Andy On Thu, 2002-06-13 at 23:20, Jamin W.Collins wrote: On 13 Jun 2002 23:14:20 +0200 Andrew Fowler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where is maildirmake ?

Nope, dpkg -S is only for installed stuff (TMK). maildrop is a good package to get maildirmake with. -- Jamin W. Collins -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Gnome/X setup problems
Hi ! Just started with Debian (woody). I'm by no means an expert so need the online help.

Re: Gnome/X setup problems
dpkg -l gnome-help produces the following: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name VersionDescription +++-==-==- ii gnome-help 1.4.0.6-5 GNOME help browser Am I reading this right: does this mean there's some kind of config problem ? Tried doing a dpkg --configure gnome-help anyway and it just complains that the pkg is already installed and configured. Maybe I explained the situation wrong. The gnome-help browser is there. And it comes up when I click the ? on the panel. But there is not content, just a message Could not load default TOC page. A.
