How to unsubscribe?
Hi! Since a long time (more than one week) I try to unsubscribe from that list. I sent several email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Everytime I do that, I get a confirmation email. I reply to that email to confirm the remove from the list. Unfortunately, every time I get another message that says: You have not been removed, I couldn't find your name on the list. I contacted the listmaster and he told me that he finaly removed my name from the list. BUT I AM STILL RECEIVING MAILS from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I informed the listmaster about that, but he did not respond. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO BE REMOVED FROM THAT LIST? Sending an email to that list, every hour or every minute? Well, it is an option, at least. I also could send this mail every day, but double the number of copies every day. What's 2 powerd by 365 again? Don't get me wrong, but all that email makes me mad, seriously. Please help! Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

This might confuse the issue (i.e. make sure that you unsubscribe the correct one ...). You probably checked this already, but better safe than sorry. My official address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] But there are several aliases that our computing center is using: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am sending email with my MTA directly from my virtual machine. The email address is then changed by exim to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, the listmaster could just remove everyhting that looks like *exss*gpi.uni-karlsruhe.de. Listmaster: Do you hear me?

According to : $ echo '2 ^ 365' | bc Something like this (slightly reformatted) 75.153.362.648.762.663.292.463.379.097.258.784.876.021.841.565.066.235.862.633.311.089.030.688.803.667.470.190.838.367.948.312.598.497.021.919.232 I am not sure whether exim can handle that many emails per day...

But how can I pass the option to the init? I can't access my disk now. Sounds like you are running from one problem to another. Maybe the new Debian install kernel needs an initrd image, I don't know. To speed things up: In my eyes it would be much more efficient to try a new install with an virtual IDE disk. It doesn't mean that you have to give your first try away: Just create a new IDE disk in the Configuration Editor. Note that the size limit from previous versions of VMware (2GB) doesn't exist anymore. Don't forget to deselect the old SCSI disk. I am always running into trouble when trying to install Linux onto a virtual SCSI disk since the Buslogic Controler VMware is using is kind of exotic. Good luck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you downloaded any http or ftp mirror, it is probably more efficient to create a small but bootable CDrom image to boot from. (You don't need a CD writer). The contents of main/disks-i386 minus documentation minus locales is just enough.

Re: usb permissions + export display

I know this is because /proc/bus/usb/000/... entries are accessible only by root, and I can't change it since as soon as I re-plug my camera, the permissions are back only for root. I had the same problem and decided to install the USB perimssion daemon by myself, because I couldn't find any Debian package to deal with that problem. Take a look at http://www.xena.uklinux.net/Linux/usb_perms.html The init script is made for SuSE I think, so you must create one by yourself. 2. I want to export my display on anothre computer. On the server running X, I issued the following command: xhost +, and on the client, when I launch an application, like xterm -display server:0, I get this error message: xterl Xt error: Can't open display: server:0. I seriously recommend to use ssh instead of unencrypted X11 connections. However, It seems that your X server has been started with the -nolisten tcp option for security reasons. Are you using gdm? Look at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Using xdm? Try /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Change the line that starts the X server you are dealing with (probably :0). Please use ssh instead. Try $ ssh -x client and look at $ echo $DISPLAY It should look like localhost:10 or so. If not, enable X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config at the X11 clients side. When done, just type xterm. Hope this will help you. If not, request more details. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please use ssh instead. Try $ ssh -x client Minor correction: that should be 'ssh -X client', at least with openssh. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sure. Thank you for the comment. $ ssh -x client forces ssh to NOT forward X11, even if requested by default. I usually modify /etc/ssh/ssh(d)_config, so that I don't have to use any option at all and so I always mix the options when forced to use one ;-) Thanks, Colin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Mounting symbolic links
Hi, I have some trouble getting filessytems mountet that are symbolic links only. I have some scripts running that copy specific files from cdroms into specific directories within my home area. These scripts must be run on different machines (hosted by different OSs) from time to time. The problem is the not standarized mount point for the cdrom device. Solaris:/cdrom/cdrom0 Red Hat:/mnt/cdrom Debian: /cdrom Therefore, I have a symbolic link in all my home directories pointing to the reall mount point. The link is called cdrom. So I usually do like this: $ cd $ mount cdrom/ This worked fine on Debian since hamm or somewhat earlier. Now that I switched to woody, it says like: mount: can't find /home/jexss/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab This is, in fact, correct, since /home/jexss/cdrom is a symbolic link only. Anyway: Why can't I mount the cdrom drive that way anymore? Is that kind of a security feature or did I just miss the point? I couldn't find anything in the manual pages. Someone who can help me?
