Can you set per-group/sender/whatever auto-expiry policies? Gnus can, and
that's why I stick with it (eg. mail from my wife never expires, ditto
for work related, mail from my friends does expire but not very fast,
other stuff expires and junk/spam expires fast enough.

Obviously it is, as you can check by the headers.

However, I don't know if the Bayesian filter is trained. With training,
you'd expect better accuracy.

Yes, that's why I put the "(except perhaps the one being run)" part. Sorry

Umm.. your system doesn't seem busy to me. IIRC, those load averages represent
the average number of processes waiting to be served for 1, 5 and 15
minutes. Thus load averages of 3.5, 2.3 and 0.97 would indicate heavy
increase in load during the last 15 minutes, and that at the moment 3.5
processes in average wait for the kernel scheduler to give them some
processing time.

As such, load averages below 1 mean system doesn't have any processes
(except perhaps the one being run) waiting to be served.

The first one is quite handy - it makes sure you have the required
components to build the package. Of course, if you just fetch the source
for reading it (not compiling), you don't need the first one.

Oh, sorry - I forgot to share the most important details - size of mounted
reiserfs partitions can be readjusted on the fly (using resize_reiserfs
-f) whereas using ext2 unmounting is a must (I think).

Of course, the OP might want to stick with ext3 due to several
reasons. Besides, I don't know how bug-free converts is, but I've used it
twice to convert a live filesystem from ext3 to reiserfs, and didn't have
problems. 

Sorry for the missing crucial details on the previous post :)

You might want to check package 'convertfs' and turn your filesystem(s) to
reiserfs. I did exactly that - on live fs - and didn't have any problems
whatsoever.  YMMV, though.

Random freezes & font size changes

2004-07-30 Thread Edvard Majakari
Hi,

I've been wondering what is wrong with my Debian box.

Symptom 1:

Few times a week the system freezes when using X, and the system doesn't
respond to anything. However, when I log on to the system remotely via ssh
from another machine, the freeze stops and the system works again.

It seems like using XMMS to play mp3 files causes freezing to occur more
likely (same login-fix works).

Symptom 2:

The font size changes randomly. Sometimes when I login to the system
(using either Gnome or KDE) the font size changes. It doesn't matter
whether I use KDE or Gnome - sometimes the login screen in kdm is using
very small, tiny fonts, and when I log on, all the fonts are so small I
barely can read them. When I decrease the font size it looks ok, but next
time when I log in, the font size can be ridiculously large (due to change
of font size). When I adjust (make smaller) font size again, it can be ok
for a while, but at some point the fonts are again very tiny. I really
wonder what is causing all this..

I'm using xfs-xtt as true type font server, and it is listed as the first
entry in XF86Config. Debian release I use is up-to-date testing, and both
the symptoms have troubled me for roughly half a year or so.

Oh yeah, the display driver is that produced by NVidia, and  updating it
hasn't affected the problem either. :(

Virtual provides?

1998-07-13 Thread Edvard Majakari
> "KV" == Kenneth Valentine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Using dselect is awful, because I use Qmail as my MTA. However,
dselect always recommends me to install smail, or any other MTA which
is understandable, and even as it is easy to press 'Q' always when it
recommends smail, it is quite frustrating. 

I think it is not possible to create a file containing so called
'virtual provides', which would contain strings like 'mta, httpd,
news-server' etc. This way, I can install Qmail on my own, put the
appropriate string somewhere and debian would realize service (mta) is
already provided.

I know, it is always possible to create a .deb package, but I find
this approach far too tedious.

This feature would be really nice. At our system there's often need
(or desire) to compile a package from .tgz, and there should be some
way to tell the system what service(s) it provides..
