Re: Mozilla chrome registry problem
Thank you Kent, I changed the ] to } on both line 68 and 69 and the mozilla
setup completed fine although I still had the errors associated with
libenigmine.so so I guess they are 2 separate problems.
I will also make sure I look at the debian bug reports today with the package
I am having problems with before I bother the list.
cheers

Mozilla chrome registry problem
Hi
I am running debina on a ibook and just upgraded my mozilla packages
from 1.5 to mozilla 1.6-2 and ran into this problem when the
mozilla-browser package was being setup.
Setting up mozilla-browser (1.6-2) ...
Updating mozilla chrome registry...nsNativeComponentLoader:
SelfRegisterDll(libenigmime.so) Load FAILED with
error:/usr/lib/mozilla/components/libenigmime.so: ELF file data encoding
not big-endian
enigmail.js: Registering components
enigmail.js: Registered components
nsNativeComponentLoader: SelfRegisterDll(libenigmime.so) Load FAILED
with error: /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libenigmime.so: ELF file data
encoding not big-endian
/usr/sbin/update-mozilla-chrome: line 68: unexpected EOF while looking
for matching `}'
The following is what is on line 68 in /usr/bin/update-mozilla-chrome:
touch ${LIBDIR]/chrome/user-skins.rdf
I couldn't actually find that file so I am not sure if the problem is
because that file doesn't exist or because it could not be created or it
is a problem with the mozilla 1.6 package on powerpc. I read the most
pc's use the little-endian system while the powerpc uses big-endian
because it can read both.
Thanks for any clues in how to fix this

sed question
Hi I am just beginning to learn how to use sed in order to sort my squid log files by virtualhost and am having trouble getting my head around how the regular expression works. I can sort my log files into the different virtual hosts using grep eg "grep '^test' access-sed.txt > test.wilderness.log" as I have got squid to write the logs with the virtualhost entry added to the front of every log entry as illustrated below. What I am having problems with is using sed to strip the virtualhost entry from the front of the log entrys once they have been sorted so I can then use webalizer to analyse the logs for me and get different webalizer reports for different virtual hosts. www.sydney.wilderness.org.au/docs/node.php? 203.48.59.163 - - [26/Aug/2003 08:09:56] "GET http://www.sydney.wilderness.org.au/docs/node.php?

mozilla url tab autocomplete
Hi I have been playing around with the different mozilla based browsers for linux and have found one thing that I would really love to know how to configure. When you start typing a url in the address bar in mozilla previous urls that match will show and you can simply press tab to select the one that you want and press enter. Galeon 1.2 used to be similar except that it worked more like autocomplete on the command line in that when you pressed tab it would just complete till it got to a difference and then you would enter another letter and press tab again to get it to complete which was really cool. Now with epiphany and galeon 1.3 when I start typing in a url a list of urls appears but pressing tab doesn't autocomplete or let me select from the list of urls that appear. With mozilla-firebird pressing tab lets you select from the list that appears but when you press tab the cursor jumps to the front of the url which is quite annoying if I want to continue adding to the url string. Can anyone point me to which setting in about:config or the config files that this behaviour is configured. I have looked but nothing seems to stand out as being associated with this behaviour.

virtual servers vs dedicated servers
Hi I am just wondering if anyone has any advice on hosting using virtual dedicated servers. I have found a few companies that offer this service and am curious as to how it compares to dedicated servers in terms of performance. I see that most of them offer RedHat as the OS although Aktiom Networks offers a choice of Debian or Redhat and JohnCompanies notes that you can run debian in a chroot environment on there Redhat based virtual servers. We are building a midgard based content management system for our website and I am currently looking for hosting options for this. The system is being built and tested on a debian system and I would like to run the finished system on a debian box. Initially we thought that we would have to go with a dedicated server but as our site is not that huge, we had a max of about 6 Gig of uploads in our biggest month. The new midgard cms runs on a mysql backend so there will probably make a reasonably demand on system resources but I wouldn't think that that amount of traffic would result in it making full use of a dedicated server so I thought that it might be worth considering a virtual private server. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with running a database driven website on a virtual dedicated server and could offer any advice concerning hosting companies and whether this option is worth considering over a dedicated server.

Content management systems evaluation
Just been evaluating open source Content Management Systems for the last couple of months. They have all been installed and are being tested on a debian system. I have been documenting the issues involved with the installation of the various systems and these are on the web at www.sydney.wilderness.org.au/docs along with an evaluation of the features of the different systems. 12 CMSs were reviewed in total being APC Action Apps, BackEnd, Bricolage, Drupal, EzPublish 2 and 3, Midgard and its different CMS interfaces, MySource, Plone, PostNuke, OpenACS, OpenEffec and WebGUI. Some have only got the installation documented but others have been looked at in more detail. More content will be added as the evaluation and system installation progresses. If anyone is looking at open source content management systems they might find it worth a read. Cheers John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: alpha-release of a bug-report & some questions
Here is a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list. I run unstable and although I am in Australia often find that it is quicker to run it of the main US servers which is why they are the uncommented ones. If you want to get your system to woody (ie testing) just uncomment the lines pointing to testing and comment out the lines pointing to unstable and then run apt-get update to update your package list and then apt-get upgrade. This will upgrade everything to testing and hopefully pull in the packages you are missing. If you then want to get any packages from unstable edit the sources.list file again and comment out testing and uncomment unstable. Then run apt-get install whatever the name of the package/packages. If you try and install something using dselect it will try to upgrade all your other packages as well. I am sure there probably is a way to stop it doing this but I haven't taken the time to figure it out and just install use apt-get if I want to install a particular package without upgrading everything. If you do have a new hardware you might consider running unstable as that will give you access to the latest xfree86 and also the newest kernels. To see what kernel versions are available try apt-cache search kernel.

If there are any packages required for your minimal machine that you haven't copied across apt will seek to download them from the server you have pointed to in your sources list. I use this method to upgrade or install stuff on my laptop from my main desktop machine. I have had a look at apt-proxy and will also have a look apt-move, as suggested by Greg Madden, as they both seem like they would make things easier once you had figured out how to set them up.

You can just remove the kernel package using dpkg or apt, but then, as far as I know you will have to edit your lilo.conf to point to the kernel that you want to boot with and then run lilo (ie as root enter the command lilo).

Re: Dual Boot with Win2k
Not sure how useful this will be to you but have included an attachment of my effort to get WIn2k and Linux dual booting. That was off different partitions on the same disk though. There is a couple of howtos at the ldp (see www.linux.org in the minihowtos section that might be a bit more useful.

This is a record of my attempt to install windows 2000 after installing Linux Partitions are hda1prim2300mb fat 16 hda2prim950mb swap hda5logi3100mb linux boot hda6logi3000mb linux hda7logi11000mb linux I intend to use hda6 for /home and hda7 for /usr. I had been having a problem on the previous installation of linux that I had on this harddisk. I was getting on error message "hda: lost interrupt". I thought this was initially due to a firewall script that I had installed as it was only happening when I tried to log into gnome when I had used this script to set up my iptable rules. I had been unable to find any problems by running bad block scans on the disk so thought that I would take advantage of the excuse to redo my partition tables and check the disk more thoroughly. I decided to put win2000 on as I to be able to play around with networking windows with lin using samba on my laptop. I made tar archives of the directories in / and copied them over to my laptop. Then I put a debian potato disk in and began the installation process. Using cfdisk I partitioned the disk as noted above. The reason why I began with linux was that I wanted lilo to be the boot loader as having used the win2k bootloader in my previous dual boot arrangement I was not happy with the way it defaulted in booting into windows. I couldn't seem to change this even through playing with boot.ini. I therefore decided to follow the instructions given in Linux+WindowsNT minihowto at www.linux.org for installing linux first followed by windows NT. I continued with the debian installation process and installed the minimum installation of debian. I then copied the mbr to a floppy using the dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 I then put the windows 2000 disk in the cdrom drive and rebooted. The installation began and I chose to install it on /dev/hda1. According to the Linux+WindowsNT minihowto it is supposed to reboot at some stage through the install to lilo. It didn't. I continued on with the Win2k install and then logged into it when it had completed and made windows bootdisks. I then rebooted to linux using the debian bootdisk that I had made during the linux install. The next step was to edit lilo.conf and add an entry to Win2k. other=/dev/hda1 label=Win2k Save lilo.conf and then run the lilo command: /sbin/lilo That then recopys lilo to the mbr as the initial copy was wiped by the win2k install. Lilo does not however delete the Win2k boot record so to boot to Win2k simply interrupt lilo as it is booting and chose Win2k and it will boot into Windows2000.

Otherwise I get a little message saying error and telling me to close the application and try again. Changing the id konqueror gives to the site hasn't made any difference. In galeon the first time you load the page you get the same error message but then if you just reload the page it will work. Have emailed the webmaster for the site so will see what they have to say.

I just seem to get told that https is not supported when I try to use konqueror (2.2.2 in Debian Unstable) to view https pages. I can't quite figure out how I am supposed to get the crypto working. View --> Security just tells me that SSL is not supported in this build of KDE. I use konqueror for most of my browsing but always have to switch when I view any encrypted sites. In fact the only thing I can get my banking to work in is Netscape 4.77 and in getting True Type fonts to work all text in the netscape menus is now just little squares. Not that it worries me that much. I would be quite interested in hearing what you have to do to get ssl to work in Konqueror. > > ruling it out for things like on-line banking etc..
