I don't mean to be unkind, but have you actually worked in the corporate world of IT or been subject to its whims? Have you ever read the Dilbert comic strip? Nothing in the Dilbert strip is a stretch of the truth, in fact reality is often more bizarre. Coporate IT is driven by sweetheart deals from suppliers to IT management. It is full of fiefdoms and "not invented here" syndromes. It is a meca to the power hungry and the control freaks. It has little to do with helping the workers use the best tool for the job. If that happens, it's often the result of an accident or an oversight and will soon be corrected. I apologize for being so kind toward corporate IT. Of course I read Dilbert. And I am full aware of the corporate IT environment. But I'm still 30-young and think that I can change the world by trying. I'm so naive that I encourage others to do the same. I know that I'm doomed to the same fate as Winston Smith. My attitude has gotten my university and my local green club to send documents in PDF instead of Word, and I write to sites that do not display properly in Firefox. I write to software houses (Adobe) requesting they port to Linux, and I write to hardware vendors (ATI) demanding Linux support. Every week. Am I making a difference? Maybe. If one out of one hundred OOo || Firefox || Linux users would stand up and let themselves be known, we'd be in a much better position. I'm setting an example.

I am NOT a Linux guru. I have experienced a few problems with "unstable", but I hardly ever have a problem with "testing". I upgrade almost daily (whenever the "software available" icon appears in the gnome panel). To my delight, Debian just keeps getting better and better, with little improvements becoming apparent almost week by week. For example, CUPS in Lenny now works better than ever, and almost all of the small annoyances which CUPS once presented have disappeared. When I have occasion to run Etch, I find that I miss features which have been incorporated into Lenny. I advise the new user whose system is not "mission critical" to run "testing" (Lenny), in order to have benefit of the many small improvements. In my experience, problems with Lenny are few and far between. And when problems arise, they soon are fixed. And this Debian users list is a marvelous resource whenever problems do arise. Moreover, the neophyte is coming to Debian from Window$ -- an environment in which the "blue screen of death" is a VERY common occurrence. With respect to stability, Debian "testing" is far preferable to ANY release of Window$. If you think that etch is missing *a lot of* bleeding edge software and if you would like to help the developers by testing new software, than you should consider upgrading to lenny or sid. Not so!

Is 'empty' the name of your machine? Your exim probably doesn't think
himself as the server for "empty" so he tries to relay the mail. I don't
know how to set this in exim (I use postfix), but you should also check
/etc/mailname and /etc/aliases.
/etc/mailname had been different. I've updated it to match my old
configuration ("localhost.localdomain"), but still no luck. At least
now things are labelled "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", rather than
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
What about /etc/hostname? Is it identical to that in Exim4 config file?

What, exactly (with examples) do > you mean by "unreliable". 1. Gnome fails to connect with a secure Webdav folder at my univ., while KDE works great. Hasn't worked for the last few years. Made me switch to KDE though -- not to mention I started to like KDE! I agree, if you need to remotely manage other machines, then Konqueror cannot be beat. I use it to manage quite a few servers. Nautilus does not even come close. 2. Gnomebaker does not erase DVD-RW discs. It just gets confused and gives an error no matter which back end I use, cdrecord or wodim. K3b however, works great. Apparently, others have reported this too and there is some noise on Ubuntu lists about this. I've also heard this. Now, I admit, one could argue these are not examples of unreliability since Gnome fails consistently :) But (1) above has been going on for so long and that I now have serious doubts whether Gnome (Nautilus, more specifically) developers really care about Webdav access functionality at all. Have you contributed to the related bug, or at least voted for it? I was looking for chance to rant, thanks for opportunity :) Mailing lists are great for that! You should check out usenet! But having said, I must also say that for a novice Linux desktop user, I would probably recommend Gnome. It is much more simpler (fewer customizations and options) than KDE. Gnome developers have done magnificent work. Of course, it is always going to need improvement and fixes here and there. I install KDE on new user's machines, but I configure it myself. Gnome, while simpler, seems to do things in unintuitive ways in my opinion. Many new Linux users do not like the menu at the top of the screen, for instance. At least, that is the impression I've gotten after switching 15-20 people's computers over from XP to Fedora/Ubuntu.

It seems to happen only if there is any keyboard configuration set in Gnome, or if you try to set it through Gnome keyboard utility. When configured manually in xorg.conf, keyboard layouts and switching between them is OK in Gnome, too. I backed up my home files, deleted the user and the directory, created the user again, and added keyboard configuration manually by editing xorg.conf. It was a stupid but granted way to fix the problem. There should be a better way to clean Gnome keyboard configuration - if anyone knows please tell me.

Re: etch and several problems
I had the same problem with my keyboard today. Don't know what's exactly the reason, but you can fix it by adding layouts manually. Read /etc/xkb/x11/README.config and edit keyboard section of /etc/x11/xorg.conf - add layouts and switches.

Re: Solved: Setting keyboard preferences in Gnome (etch) makes system hang up and prevents loging in from GDM
Forget my previous e-mail. Added the layouts and toggle key manualy to xorg.conf, it works now.

Setting keyboard preferences in Gnome (etch) makes system hang up and prevents loging in from GDM
Hello all, After recent etch upgrade (27 April, Mark all upgrades -> Apply in Synaptic) I could not log in from GDM as a normal user, however could log in as root from GDM, and could log in as a normal user from console. The problem is related to keyboard layout. After I've deleted a normal user and created it again, I could log in again. But when I added Lithuanian keyboard layout using Desktop->Preferences ->Keyboard, the system hung up, the only way to get any response was turning the power of and on. And I could not log in from GDM as a normal user anymore. No need even to add a layout. After changing, for example, Group Shift/Lock behavior the session is terminated, and GDM login screen appears. I can repeat this behavior as many times as I (don't) want. Software: Debian Release: testing Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-8 Gnome 2.14.0 xserver-xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 gnome-applets 2.12.3-1 Would be glad to provide more info, but don't know where to look for it :-). It's a first time that I get such a problem in Debian, and it's a first time I cannot find a solution in Google, forums etc. Any idea (or pointer) how to fix this?

del key and keyboard switching do not work after upgrade of xserver
Hello, I am using debian unstable. After recent apt-get dist-upgrade I noticed, that in all X applications the del key started to work as the backspace. Also, the switching to other keyboard layout stopped working. The keyboard layout is set up in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4: Option XkbOptions grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll Do anyone knows, what is causing this problem? I suspect, the X server is not using the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, which it always used, but why? And what is it using? Thanks.

Leased line connection
Hello, (sorry for an off-topic post) Could anybody recommend a low-cost way to connect a PC with hamm (and windoze - for games) to internet over a leased line? I have the line to radiolink enabled office already, so what modems, network cards, etc. should I buy? Andrius -- Andrius Sabanas - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.taide.com

CDROM should be something like /dev/hdb(primary slave), /dev/hdc(secondary master) or /dev/hdd(secondary slave). -- Andrius Sabanas - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.taide.com

I guess 4.0-12 is just a version of a wrapper not the netscape browser, so any 4.0* netscape should work. -- Andrius Sabanas - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.taide.com

I once had the same problem with HP Vectra 486/66XM - there was a setting named "Enable memory above 16Mb", or something. -- Andrius Sabanas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
