Changing GTK2 shortcuts...

Gnome 2 fonts : weird behaviour in SID
Hello there, I have recently switched to SID to take advantage of the latest Gnome 2.2 desktop, being tired to wait for it to go in Sarge. I am impressed by SID, I wish I had switched before :-) I have a small problem in understanding how the fonts work in Gnome 2.2 : when I set the Terminal Font in the Fonts preferences, I do not see what impact it has on the desktop. Let's suppose I choose a weird font as Terminal Font, such as Nimbus Mono L. Then where should I see an impact? My terminal is not affected by that, nor vim (which seems to use the Monospace font, whatever choice I make in the preferences). I am confused here.

xauth au su - issue

It works fine with simple su, but I need to have a login shell. Is it a bug? What do I miss? I am running Sarge.

Re: Can not get UDMA-100 working... SOLVED !!!
Thanks to anyone for your feedback. Yes, the cable is connected correctly to the MB (blue connector), and to the drive (black connector, since drive is alone). I had also tried `hdparm -X69 /dev/hda` without success. And when I was getting the drive working correctly, then the day after, at machine startup, it would again ignore the UDMA-100 mode. In fact, this seems to be caused by the kernel itself: I've checked in the linux-kernel mailing list archives, and found out that other people had the same problems with the Promise stuff. To solve this, just add idex=ata66 to the kernel parameters in lilo or grub (where x is the ID of the HDD on which to force UDMA-66/100): it will bypass cable detection and force UDMA-100 mode. Now everything is working fine :-) Thanks again to everybody. Cheers, Dominique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Broken X in testing ?

I had seen this same problem before a few months ago, and it was the fonts that time, so I went directly to dselect and inspected the installed fonts. Although I specifically remembered them being installed during the apt-get dist-upgrade, they didn't seem to be there in the dselect menu! I selected the fonts I wanted (including xfonts-base) and installed them again. This cleared up the error message and X started working for me. You might want to try what I did or, alternatively, try an apt-get install --reinstall font package list and see what happens.
