how to stop exim running the queue automatically
Hi, I am using debian testing/unstable with exim 3.x. I have started using debian just a few days ago, I formerly used RedHat.Now I have configiured it to queue outbound mails and send them thru my smarthost. My webhost supports pop-before-smtp hence I need to check my mail before I can send. I have this in exim.conf queue_remote_domains = ! localhost yet when exim starts up it starts with : /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd -q30m it tries to send my queued mails immediately on startup (which results in failed delivery) and every 30 mins. This means that many a times the queue runs at a time when the smarthost will not accept mesages for delivery. What can I do such that the queued messages are *only* set when I manually run the queue ? To stop exim starting up with -q30m option, I edited /etc/init.d/exim and changed the incantation from -- echo -n "Starting MTA: " start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim/exim.pid \ --exec $DAEMON -- -bd -q30m echo "exim." -- to - echo -n "Starting MTA: " start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/exim/exim.pid \ --exec $DAEMON -- -bd echo "exim." - This is what I have in /etc/inetd.conf (untouched by me) #:MAIL: Mail, news and uucp services. #smtp stream tcp nowait mail/usr/sbin/exim exim -bs -- now, this is what I get :( [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps ax | grep exim 234 ?S 0:00 /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd 1279 pts/3S 0:00 grep exim --- debian:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/exim restart Restarting MTA: No /usr/lib/exim/exim3 found running; none killed. exim. --- debian:/etc/init.d# ps ax | grep exim 234 ?S 0:00 /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd 1321 ?S 0:00 /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -bd 1326 pts/0S 0:00 grep exim --- restart is not killing the original exim but is starting up another instance. obviously some mistake on my part. What do I do now ? also, this has not solved my problem of exim trying to run the queue automatically. I usually send out the mail with exim -q. Presently what I do is after composing the mail in mutt, I postpone the mesage and only send it once I have checked my mail. I have googled, looked up newbiedoc. The exim faq does not seem to have what I want or I just cannot spot it. thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri Homeopath and Linuxer.

loading ide-scsi at bootup
I am using debian testing/unstable with kde. I have a CDRW/DVD combo on hdd. I have added the line "append hdd=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf. The ide-scsi module is not beingloaded at boot up. How do I go about setting it so that it is loaded at startup. I am a recent migrant from RedHat and this was always automatically setup under rh. thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R.

changing from xdm to kdm

kde 3 on testing/unstable -- newbie query
I am a newbie to debian (former RH user.) I have a set of woody CDs. I installed a base system, upgrade to testing using the go-woody script. I then installed X with apt-get install x-window-system. I now have a working X install with twm. I now want to install kde 3.1.4 (it's present in knoppix). I added the line deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian stable main to /etc/apt/sources.list and ran apt-get update. Unfortunately when I run apt-get install kde I get the following errors: Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde: Depends: kdelibs3 but it is not installable Depends: libarts but it is not installable or libarts-alsa but it is not installable or libarts-bin but it is not installable Depends: libkmid but it is not installable or libkmid-alsa but it is not installable or libkmid-bin but it is not installable Depends: kdebase but it is not going to be installed or kdebase3 but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not installable or kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not installable or kdebase3-libs but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-doc but it is not installable or kdebase3-doc but it is not installable Depends: kab but it is not installable Depends: kpm but it is not installable Depends: kfract but it is not installable E: Broken packages -- What am I doing wrong ? I really would like to start working with kde on my debian install. any pointers would be welcome. Sharukh. ps: speaking of knoppix, the line for kde in sources.list is commented out. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri Homeopath and Linuxer.

Newbie installation query
I am a former RedHat user and now want to try out Debian. I have dabbled in debian before but have always messed up, usually in the installation (using dselect). Plus, I only got kde 2.2 even after I updated the woody install. This time I decided I would rough it out :). After reading up on the net, I did just a base install of woody, then ran the go-woody script so that I would be able to download and use more recent software (like kde 3.1.4 as in knoppix.). I now have a base install of testing (I think). I have cable internet (but a limited download allowance) and would like to have a proper debian system with X window system and kde. What is the way to go ? should I fire up tasksel and let the system download the software ? Or should I go with apt-get'ing the individual softwares and let apt manage the dependencies ? regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri Homeopath and Linuxer.

mouse not working

It is an old three button mouse of Micromate brand. I had the same problem some months ago when I had installed an older version of debian and had then removed debian after some time.
