screen messing with tab completion and other annoyances
Hello, I've searched for these but I can't find an answer: Screen, as configured by default, uses tab tab two switch windows, but this is annoying since it blocks tab completion for the shell and I can't find anything in the documentation about how to turn this off (or even that this binding exists). Also, when sshing under screen to another machine (running RedHat, unfortunately) the erase character turns (don't know why) into ^H according to stty -a and this messes less, to fix this I tried to do: stty erase ^? but stty -a stills shows erase=^H.

I think you're having a problem with hotplug. I have the same problem. The problem is that hotplug automatically loads a framebuffer driver for your video card, which apparently doesn't work very well. The solution is to add the name of your framebuffer module to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. I can also add 'Option UseFBDev' to the device section in my XF86Config to get it to work, but that might not work for you. There's already a bug filed, #238321. In fact, I joined this list today because I intended to ask if anyone else was having this problem, as I was told that it was just my hardware/driver that was broken. The blacklist bit solved it for me, thanks for the tip, I was getting really sick of compiling kernels and stuff to try to fix it to no avail.

I recognise the similar looks, but not so sure. You can check what's the version of (for example) gnome-panel, if if is something like 2.2.0.1-2, then you are running gnome 2.2 But I do notice that gdm is back to the gnome1.4 version.

How do I downgrade to testing and reinstall the ported version only? I really haven't ever tried a downgrade, I guess the easy way would be to just delete the sid lines and wait for new versions to hit testing, but if things aren't all that smooth I guess you would like a faster track. Or is there any better solutions? Should I just wait till gnome2 enter sids? Currently I use sid and sarge as my sources.list. That should take you to sid.

Hello, when I do a 'su -' to root I get '?' instead of accented characters when doing, for example an 'ls'. This only happens with 'su -', not with regular logins nor with 'su' (without the '-'), it also appear to be independent of the shell used and the terminal emulator used (it also happens in the console). Any ideas why this may be? Greetings, Jorge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: apt-get problem workaround... is this a bug?

Unfortunately, it still hasn't migrated into testing, and when I tried to grab it from unstable it wanted to pull too many other unstable packages for me to be comfortable with. js http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html I'm stumped. According to the excuses, there's no reason for APT to not be moved to testing, as long as it doesn't depend on broken packages. Well, apt-search shows that the unstable version of APT (0.5.4) has these depends: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.3-7), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 Now, on my testing system right now I already have libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 installed, so that's no problem. And, I have libc6 2.2.4-1, which is definitely = 2.2.3-7. Idem here. And what's more important, those are the packages currently in testing, it seems to me. So, I have no idea whatsoever why APT 0.5.4 hasn't migrated into testing yet... So the problem may be one of two then: 1. The policy for getting packages from unstable to testing for some reason doesn't consider apt. 3. The scripts implementing the policy are buggy. If the first the buggy packages that are keeping apt out of testing should be fixed. If the second the scripts should be fixed. So the first step is determining which of the two is the problem and the second is fixing it. So I think someone should be informed of this in case nobody has noticed it (I guess what we are doing isn't all that common or the problem affects a very sepecific set of configurations).

I _do_ have a correct root parameter on lilo.conf. The kernel installed all right so the problem is not there. Any thoughts? TIA jorge santos

I'm using the latest release version of Debian (as of two weeks ago anyway) with XFree86 (4.0.3). I had everything working nicely until I tried to install Netscape. I thought I did it the easy way by using dselect. However, after installing it I found that I'd lost my mouse capability in XFree86. I can still move the mouse around the text terminal. I've uninstalled Netscape to try to fix the problem ... but no joy. As far as I can tell Netscape did not alter my XF86Config file ... unfortunately I can no longer use XF86Setup, because it doesn't work with 4.0.X of XFree Any ideas?

Re: SVGATextmode and Banshee
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hai List, I would like to setup SVGATextmode on my Debian box with an 3d Blaster Banshee card, but I can't find no modes in the configfile. Can I use something from my XF86Config or should I look further? Or can I use the settings from any other card who is listed in Textmodeconfig? Thanks in advance Mark Lamers Some file in the SVGATextmode mentions it is not supported anymore, one reason for that is that you can change resolution for the console from the kernel (but, alas, only at boot time I gather) so just give the 'vga=ask' parameter to the kernel at boot time to get a list of available resolutions (check /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.4/Documentation/svga.txt (fill in your kernel version)). jorgesantos

I also found this on the apt-get man page, I haven't tried, because the option suggested by Colin Watson worked just fine, but it might also do the trick: --default-release This option controls the default input to the pol icy engine, it creates a default pin at priority 990 using the specified release string. The prefer ences file may further override this setting. In short, this option lets you have simple control over which distribution packages will be retrieved from. Some common examples might me -t '2.1*' or -t unstable. Configuration Item: APT::Default-Release Just in case you wanted to know. Jorge Santos

Postgresql 7.1 + unixODBC 2.0.5 + StarOffice 5.2
Hello, I have installed all the above (see subject) software and whenever I try to see the tables in a database with DataManager (a program supplied alongside unixODBC), th program just won't show any tables. The same problem happens with StarOffice. I know the driver manager and database driver are working because I can perform queries through DataManager or isql (the command line interface to ODBC provided with unixODBC), the problem is I think StarOffice will need to see the tables in order to let me get the information I requiere from the database. Any ideas why this might be happening. My .odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini follow: .odbc.ini: [dep-2001-1] Description = Base de datos dep-2001-1 Driver = PostgreSQL Trace = Yes Database= dep-2001-1 Servername = localhost UserName= dep Password= Port= 5432 Protocol= 6.4 ReadOnly= No RowVersioning = No ShowSystemTables= No ShowOidColumn = No FakeOidIndex= No ConnSettings= [test] Description = PostgreSQL Driver = PostgreSQL Trace = Yes Database= template1 Servername = localhost UserName= postgres Password= Port= 5432 Protocol= 6.4 ReadOnly= No RowVersioning = No ShowSystemTables= No ShowOidColumn = No FakeOidIndex= No ConnSettings= [kk] Description = Base de datos jsf (tabla kk) Driver = PostgreSQL Trace = Yes TraceFile = Database= jsf Servername = localhost UserName= jsf Password= Port= 5432 Protocol= 6.4 ReadOnly= No RowVersioning = No ShowSystemTables= Yes ShowOidColumn = No FakeOidIndex= No ConnSettings= .odbcinst.ini: [ODBC] Trace = Yes Trace File = /tmp/sql.log Pooling = No [PostgreSQL] Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL Driver = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so.1 Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so.1 FileUsage = 1 As you can see I have Trace turned on but I haven't been able to make much sense of its contens, if it might be worthed, tell me and I'll mail it. thanks jorge santos
PostgreSQL odbc
Hello, I'm trying to use odbc-PostgreSQL with StarOffice but when trying to create a new database with ODBC as a source and trying to select the tables tab I get the following error: Warning! The data registry was not found Or something like that (my version of SO is in spanish). Does anyone has any hints why might this be happening?

Every once in a while, I'll answer 'no' to doing the upgrade and then do a apt-get -u dist-upgrade and will have the exact same packages to be updated. Other times it will want to update different ones. I must admit that I'm confused... is there much reason to do upgrade vs dist-upgrade. I get the idea I should start using the latter just about all the time. i don't see any point to using upgrade instead of dist-upgrade. But surelly upgrade has some use, I mean, there's probably some situation in which you would prefer to use upgrade in place of dist-upgrade, could someone please shed some light in this isue? jorge santos

Neet to get PostgreSQL 7.0.X
Hi, I need to install PostgreSQL 7.0.X for my job, the version in potato is 6.5.X, so what options do I have, I have downloade the .deb from unstable but it has unmet dependencies. So what options do I have? I was thinking about upgrading to unstable but apt-get dist-upgrade reports that is going to uninstall several packages and I'm wondering if it is such a good idea. Well, summing it up, what is the best option to get PostgreSQL 7.0.X without breaking things? jorge
