very weird xfce behavior... please help
Hello all, Recently my xfce started behaving with strange issues that make me unable to use it. I can login to xfce, but... I notice 2 major problems: 1) the windows have no frame, no minimize, maximize and close buttons; so I can not close them, minimize them, nor move them; each new window I open I'm unable to close it; i becomes unusable 2) I had 9 virtual desktops configured and now I have only one; if I try to increase it does not work. I'm very fond of xfce and I would like to continue using it. I use Debian wheezy, fully updated. xfce version is: ii xfce4 4.8.0.3 ii xfdesktop4 4.8.3-2 Can anyone please help ?

Hello all, I read a text about bash that mentions a difference between login shell and interactive shell. I'm affraid I don not know the difference. Can anyone enlighten me ? text I read was: When Bash starts executes the commands in a variety of different scripts. When started as an interactive login shell: Bash reads and executes the /etc/profile (if it exists). After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile in that order, and reads and executes the first one (that exists and is readable). When a login shell exits: Bash reads and executes ~/.bash_logout (if it exists). When started as an interactive shell (but not a login shell): Bash reads and executes ~/.bashrc (if it exists). thank you João -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Any particular reason you won't use a software which can import/export csv?

I'dd like to go from this:

bb;bb;bb

to this:
a;aa;aa
bb;bb;bb

A quick hack I can think of is in gedit search and replace all ';' with
tabs ('\t') and then have a wide tab (depending on how wide each value
is). Then just replace all tabs back to ';' to revert. This of course if
you're 100% sure you have no tabs within the values themselves. Also
make sure it is using real tabs not spaces.

I elimnated sda7 (data in it was not really that important). Then I unmounted both and used gparted to increase sda6 into the sda7 free space. gparted did his job really great. at the end I commented 1 line out in /etc/fstab :) I considered a union mount but I wasn't feeling very confortable with the ideia :p cheers. thx a lot. 2. format and copy back a. do b-e from above b. mkfs.ext3 (or 4 if you want) on 6 c. copy from usb stick d. adjust fstab as appropriate Fun times ahead. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: transition from Ubuntu - Debian to avoid Unity Desktop?
You need to simply try it out. I don't think Debian will choose Unity instead of Gnome... (I'm personally very positive of this... but that is only my serious belief) anyway, I need to consider carefully abandoning Ubuntu. I'm sure they will keep supporting Gnome. Nevertheless, I stared a long time ago with RedHat7 (2 years), then Mandrake, then Fedora, then Mandrake again (3 years), then Ubuntu (2 months) and, for the last 4 years, Debian. And I must say Debian really rules. But Ubuntu is also very good. I'dd suggest you try out Debian for some weeks. On Mon, 2011-01-17 at 12:09 -0600, Paul Johnson wrote: Greetings. On several laptops and desktops, I made the transition from Fedora - Ubuntu about 3 years ago. I did that mainly because Fedora updates kept breaking the Nvidia proprietary video drivers and the developers openly said that they didn't really care whether or not their distribution had drivers that could work with the hardware. Ubuntu developers at least recognized the problem and have a repository for commercial/addon drivers and they try to make sure the OS doesn't break the video drivers. Anyway, I just learned that in the next Ubuntu, they are adopting the Unity Desktop. I did some checking on that and I totally hate it. I hate Mac GUI and am disgusted that the free/open movement pushes to imitate it. If I liked the look/feel of it, then I might be willing to put up with the pains of transition in the next Ubuntu, but, well, I don't. They say they will have other desktop options, but, in my experience, it will be tough to avoid the packaging and configuration changes that they enforce on everybody in order to make Unity work (maybe I'm too skeptical). Can I escape Ubuntu to Debian? 1. Is Debian defaulting to the Unity Desktop too? (please say no) 2. How can I make a transition to Debian from Ubuntu? So I need to change my apt repositories and then do what else? If glibc or the kernel headers are new, I'll have to recompile everything I've built, but that's OK. 3. If I make this change Ubuntu - Debian, will I end up back in Nvidia Hell where the OS updates frequently break the commercial/proprietary video drivers? I understand that nouveau is providing reasonable 2D for Nvidia cards, but my job requires the 3D support that seems available only from the commercial driver. I'm not trolling, not trying for a flame war here. If you like Unity, more power to you. If you like Ubuntu, OK, it has been good for me too. PJ -- Paul E.

I also usualy use the netinst approach. The one thing you must be absolutelly sure is that you have one partition totally free, or if it is not free, you don't mind loosing data in it. That is the partition to which you will install your new Debian. You must be absolutely sure of its device name (hda1, sda3, whatever), because the installer/partitioning/formating process will ask you something like: I have found these X partitions ? where do I put your new Debian ? and about the others, do you want to mount them on startup ? do yopu want to erase/format them If you are sure about the answers to these questions then you will be ok. Even if you have any doubt during the process you can simply power of the computer (but never do this during teh formating or during the bootloader/grub install). Having said that... there is always some percentage of risk (usually less that 0.001%) that anything crazy might happen. So, if any really important data exists in any of the partitions might as well back it up... just to be 100% safe. Like I said: I've installed a setup similar to yours several times using lenny and squeeze netinsts and never had any problem whatsoever... go for it... jmf -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

help with wireless WPA2 Enterprise
hello all, I'm not being able to connect to my company WPA2 Enterprise wireless network using Network-Manager. At home I have a router with WPA WPA2 Personal and I can associate just fine with NM. But, at work, we have a wifi network with WPA WPA2 Enterprise and I'm unable to associate. I'm using the following settings in the NM GUI configuration: - Wireless Security : WPA WPA2 Enterprise - Authentication : Protected EAP (PEAP) - Anonymous identity : tried blank and my username - CA certificate : tried (None) and the company's certificate - PEP Version : tried Automatic and Version 0 - Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2 - Username: my username - Password: my password NM is unable to connect. I've double-checked these settings with the networks department people. All seems to be correct. System is Debian/squeeze, NM 0.8.1-2+b1, wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2 See extract of /var/log/syslog bellow.

Re: how to dual boot debian with redhat?
On Tue, 2010-08-03 at 16:22 +0430, hadi motamedi wrote: Dear All On my debian machine, I need to install redhat on one of its partitions and so make it dual boot . Can you please let me know how this can be accomplished? Hello, the process should be quite straightforward. 1st u need to make sure you have a free partition with no relevant data on it (partition to instal RH). then you simply start installing RedHat on the machine and (this is the critical part) make absolutelly sure you tell the installer to choose the correct partition (the partition you choose for RH will be formated and any data in it will be lost). in the end you can choose to instal the bootloader (GRUB possibly) and it will detect you have Debian too and do all the magic for you. grub usually does a very good job finding you other operatin systems and automagically configuring the dual-boot... It's usually a very simple process with no expert knowledge involved. Just make sure you know exactly which is the partition that is empty when the RH installer asks you to format the disk. you need to be 100% sure of this. If you're not just power off the machine. also make sure GRUB (or LILO, I0'm not sure) is installed in the end. The normal installation process should probably do this for you. Just read the messages. there should be no problem. But... just in case... make a backup of all you important stuff in Debian.
