I think that did the trick. I restarted both exim and mailman and I'm

Re: ls nitpick
Russ Schneider wrote: When you do an ls on Debian, you see something like the following: file1 file2 file3 dir1 dir2 file4 etc. When you do the same on Mandrake, you get file1 file2 file3 dir1/ dir2/ file4 You see how there's a / at the end of each directory name, making it really easy to tell at a glance what's a directory and what's not? Any way to config Debian's ls to do that? I realize it's just a nitpick, but I am curious. In your .bashrc file you can enable console colors. It's not the same, but it's a way to differentiate different types of files (the default is dir's re a bluish color, executables are green, plain files (html, txt, mp3's etc.) are white/gray and archives are red). -- Joseph A.

Problem With Getting Printer To Print
I'm using foomatic (although I have many other print services at my disposal if I need them) to install a local and networked printer. The local printer is a Canon BJC-2100 and is detected just fine. The only problem is when I send it the test page, it won't print! I spent about 30 minutes toying with it trying to figure out how to get it to print but nothing seemed to work. So I set it to default and moved on to installing the networked printer. It was detected kinda okay. Had to select make and model (Epson Stylus 785) but it won't print thet test page, either. -- Joseph A.

Just changing /etc/fstab won't cause the data to magically move

probably shut the system down to single-user mode ('shutdown' or

I'd do it while booted from your favorite restore media; remember in
that case to also update your bootloader configuration to know where
the new root partition is.
Haha, I almost had everything perfectly set up. I should have waited for

such a problem(which I can't remember the last time I did). I usually
purge the packages affected and reinstall them.
in this case if it were my system I would remove something like
xlibs, that should trigger a remove of most everything on the system
that depends on X. then I would go through and purge the packages
that were removed..something along the lines of
Been there, done that.
dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall | awk '{print $1}' | xargs
dpkg --purge
I'll do that.
then apt-get clean, check to be sure your sources.list has only
woody stuff, apt-get update and reinstall X. BE CAREFUL WITH
THE ABOVE COMMAND. I reccomend running it without the last
pipe to xargs first to be sure it shows the packages you want
to purge. or purge them manually.
I'll keep that last pipe to xargs. I've already lost my old Xconfig
file and re-removing everything having to do with X again won't be a
problem. If I can get this fixed w/o doing a clean install, I'll be
happy.
there may be an easier/faster way but for me, the above has always
worked for me. You may want to backup your X config file.

KDE Not Upgrading
I added deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.1/Debian stable main to my apt sources.list so I can upgrade to KDE 3.1.1. Ran apt-get update to make sure everything was in order (had to run it a few times to run out a few duplicate entries), getting a successful update message. So I run 'apt-get upgrade' to (finally) upgrade to the latest KDE (my mouth is drooling for the new KDE, I've been waiting to use it since it was released). Everything looks like it's going to be okay. 3 upgrades (a bit small, I admit), with a list of files being held back (no reason given). Once the three packages are updated, I run apt-get upgrade again. Again I'm told that a group of files (list at end) are being held back and 45 packages weren't upgraded! Am I doing something wrong?

Do you have any more info about the patent, I want to use .GIF for commercial work but am wary. I had heard this on /. a while back, but nothing since. Believe it or not the Unisys site doesn't have much on the patent. The one article they do have is outdated (doubly so, I tried emailing the article's author but that was returned via the Postmaster). I can certainly see how it'd be in Unisys's favor to spread FUD about it's patent. I just deal without using GIF's (and pray for the day when a plug-in for MNG is made for GIMP).

I too am in need of such a plugin, but it was my understanding that the patent held by Unisys has expired. Negative. At least not yet[1]. The patent does not expire until at least June 2003. Looking at my calendar watch I see it is only March. And there may be other submarine patents in the portfolio which will only be published once this one is expired. Patience.

Re: Apache not serving up .shtml properly
Stephen Cormier wrote: # # To use server-parsed HTML files # AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml The above is the only relevant bit from the Apache config I could find regarding server-parsed html files. Did you uncomment the line: LoadModule includes_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_include.so to load the includes module and then restart apache. There I go again showing my assumptions. I'm used to that being the default. Lemme go check. Yeah, it was commented out. I'm so used to running Apache that I compile from source so I'm not really used to messing with the DSO section of the server config (I don't really like using the binaries as they stick Apache in /etc/apache, /var/www and every where else, where as with the source everything is in /usr/local/apache (and yes, I'd be running from source atm, but I can't figure out why I can't compile Apache, I get the weirdest error's)) Again, thanks for the heads up. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Define features are lacking, and the default panels (task bars) have two menu entries, and only ~2 launchers. I don't see that as being too many. I suggest you install both, try both, and see what you think. Ross I have tried both. I actually started out my Linux exp on RH6.2 with GNOME and KDE (and occassionaly still log into Gnome just for the hell of it). Even with Gnome2, I find KDE to be the best of the two DE's.

Have you connected your cd drive to your soundcard? I have now, thanks, he says with a red face. As I mentioned in earlier replies, though the Gnome CD player, gtcd, now works OK, XMMS still does not see the audio CD. Since XMMS played audio CD's just fine using the ATAPI CD-R (which still shows up in dmesg, though the laser died), I have obviously gotten something simple screwed up. I'll keep trying. Oh, ok...Stupid question, but have you told xmms-cdread to use your other CD drive? You can set this in the preferences-audio i/o-input-cdaudio-player section. I'm the one asking the stupid questions in this thread. ;-) I have had the device set as /dev/cdrom and the ls -l /dev/cdrom shows: lrwxrwxrwx1 root audio 4 Mar 8 14:21 /dev/cdrom - scd0 the ls -l /dev/scd0 reports: brwxrwxr-x1 root cdburn11, 0 Jun 13 2001 /dev/scd0 There you can see where my confusion arises. I do not have an ATAPI device in the system anymore. It is an all SCSI system, with the CD burner/audio/data reader all the same device. dmesg reports the device as follows: Vendor: YAMAHAModel: CRW8824S Rev: 1.00 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 Also, I have the sg module installed, and lsmod reports it as follows: sg 14960 0 so I note that under the Used column in the lsmod report that sg is reported with 0 use? ls -l /dev/sg0 reports: crw-rw1 root cdburn21, 0 Jun 13 2001 /dev/sg0 The group cdburn comes from the suggestion of the gcombust author for being enabling using gcombust as user rather than root. I still don't have everything set up correctly to permit me to burn. I changed the groups and permissions as he suggested, but still no joy as far as burning or cd playing. I haven't tried either of the above suggestions yet, but I did try to burn a CD from the command line, unsuccessfully. Not only was it an unsuccessful attempt, but I locked up my machine hard. First time I have done that in a long time. cdrecord started out OK,
