Then do a dselect update and you have plenty nice packages concerning mp3 on your fingertips. Make sure that it's legal for you to use these packages in your country (the server is in france, afaik it's pretty legal there, as well as here in germany). Keep in mind that those packages are not officially supported by the debian distribution, as Christian Marililat is an official debian developer, they are - as far as I can tell - of good quality nevertheless.

Ah yes, another getmail convert! =D
The friendly debian maintainer warning in 'man fetchmail' convinced me
:)
Are you using spamc/spamd or calling spamassassin directly? I don't
have any hard evidence, but the word on the street is that using spamd
is much, much faster for the scanning portion. As this is probably
your bottleneck, try that. If you're already using spamc/spamd, then
I'm not sure where to go. Some more detail about your delivery process
would help. Does getmail hand off to procmail/maildrop/etc? What is
your mailbox format (mbox vs. maildir?) I'd say that maildir would be
faster in this case: no seeking; no locking.
Yes, I'm using spamd, procmail, no local mta, maildir, sanitizer, lbdb
and the duplicate mail recipe from procmail-lib. When running getmail in
verbose mode I see clearly that delivering to my mailbox takes much
longer than fetching from or deleting on the server.
If it's still all too slow, you might want to try grabbing all the
mail into a local maildrop and then processing it from there
asynchronously. What I mean by that is that you could use getmail to
jsut dump all the incoming mail into one big incoming maildir, no
filtering of any kind. Then, offline, you could re-deliver those
messages into your regular mail folders.
That's a really cool idea. Should I use mbox or maildir for this buffer
mailbox? If I use maildir, can I do th following to deliver locally
after fetching:
#!/bin/bash
for mail in `find -type f ~/Maildir/Incoming`
do
cat $mail | procmail -Y -d karsten rm $Mail
done
or can that break anything? (It's certainly not the way djb dreamed of
it :)
I'll attach getmailrc and procmailrc for reference.
Yours,
Karsten

How to speed up fetching mail
Hi, I'm trying to speed up failfetching via my modem. I've got four accounts to fetch mail from, i'm running spamassassin and sanitizer. My problem is: Every mail is fetched, scanned, delivered into my mailbox and afterwards deleted from the pop-server. That takes more than one second per mail, this makes 2-3 minutes only for debian-user per day (if i fetch every day). Now how can I reduce the online time? Is there some way to scan/sanitize the mail in background? Or at least fetch from the accounts parallelly? I tried retchmail from unstable but it somehow segfaulted and i skipped it. now I use getmail and like it, apart from speed (fetchmail was no better). What can I do?

I tried retchmail from unstable but it somehow Ok, first off, change your name; one Karsten is enough. :-) Blame my parents, it's a quite common name here in germany (although more often written as 'Carsten') :-) If you want to parallelize fetchmail, make four config files, and run four fetchmails, each with the -f option; or just pass each all the parameters on the command line, although that's bad because of passwords. I hoped for a simpler solution (not that yours would be really hard to implement). Why isn't there a 'fetch parallely=yes' feature for fetchmail? Never mind. BTW: Is there any way to hide arguments? If you want fetchmail to run in the background, use the -d option to make it a daemon. Combine both for parallel daemons. Don't forget to kill the daemons if you're using dial-on-demand, or set a long time period on -d, or they'll nail up your connection. Ok I'll try it (although with getmail). I hoped for a app that does all that for me :-). Sounds a bit like BYOF (build your own fetchmail).

Then you run dselect update If that works you're fine and ready to install. 2. You downloaded all the *.deb files into a single directory. Now you can create your personal debian repository from them with dpkg-scanpackages. Most propably this will be too difficould for a Linux or Debian newbie (no insult, but it's really not easy). Instead do the following: If you have enough space on your Linux partition (you can see that with the df or df -h command), copy all the files ending with deb into the /var/cache/apt/archives directory. Forget about the Packages.gz files, they are useless to you. Afterwards you should be able to install all the packages. If there is not enough space you will have to go the dpkg-scanpackages way. BTW: You can anytime install single deb files with the dpkg command. Run dpkg -i [somefilename].deb and it will install itself if all dependencies are fulfilled. That's the RedHat/SuSE level of comfort. You have to be root for that.

Re: more spamassassin questions.
* Corey Halpin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020314 09:36]: You seem to be confused about what I mean by default configuration. I most expressly _do_not_ mean the contents of /etc/default/spamassassin. I _do_ mean what is the default behavior of spamd. See man spamd: -x Turn off per-user config files. All users will just get the default configuration. You see, the debian install of spamd, when enabled, runs spamd as root. I _really_ am not comfortable with the idea of running a perl srcipt that listens on a network port as root. So I used the '-u mail' option, which runs it as the unpriveleged user mail, but (by definition of unpriveleged) the user mail cannot see or modify the contents of user's home directories (ie, it can't touch ~/.spamassassin anymore). This is fine, I'll just use a system wide configuration and users can tune it with procmail if they like. Now, how do I use a system wide configuration? you'd think that it would read /etc/spamassassin.conf but it doesn't. This is just a template that it copies if the user running spamassassin doesn't have a configuration of their own. Maybe a .spamassasin file in the user 'mail's homedir?

I then read somewhere that the following needs to be installed: ncurses and slang you can find the package names with apt-cache search --names-only slang apt-cache search --names-only ncurses A normal apt-get on either of these did not work so I then downloaded the tar.gz and ran it like that. Both installed no problem. Three pointers if you compile the source yourself: 1) Have the -dev-versions of the libraries installed too: If a package needs i.E. libncurses4 then to compile it you need libncurses4-dev as well 2) Maybe you have luck downloading the source of the woody or sid package. For mutt you would have to go to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/non-us/mutt.html Down the page there is a 'Source Code' line. Download the 'dsc', the 'orig.tar.gz' and the 'diff.gz' files into some directory, go to that directory and enter 'dpkg-source -x name-of-dsc-file'. This will give you an folder with the program source, debian patches applied and the possibility to build a package from that easily by entering that folder and issuing 'fakeroot debian/rules binary'. If you're lucky this will give you a nice deb package suiting to your system. If you're unlucky come back here :-) 3) If you want to compile by hand use GNU stow at least.

vmware express - which kernel?
Hello, this isn't especially debian specific but since I run (only) debian I ask anyway. Rescently i bought vmware express at a local store in germany. It worked fine until i upgraded my kernel (now 2.4.13). Unfortunately I forgot with which kernel version it was running at so i ask if someone knows. Using a 2.2 kernel is not really an option since my Promise UltraTrak100 TX2 isn't supported (as well as my Radeons DRI module) for what I know. I could not find any update on the vmware site, neither a faq. Does someone know a soultion (other from buying vmware 3)?

Re: stable LyX to testing LyX
* David Kilgour [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010812 23:52]: I would like to change from potato stable lyx to testing lyx. How to do? Do I change apt sources list adding testing just to get this package then change back to the old woody list? For only one package i wouldn't change sources.list but simply download the package (i.E. via http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/lyx and choosing an appropriate mirror). But lyx in sid (unstable) depends on a newer Version of libc6 (2.2.3 in sid vs. 2.1.3 in potato). This might cause a lot of updates so you'd end up in a quite 'sid'ded system. I would prefer compiling from source (either via 'apt-get source', or - as I did - from the original source to /usr/local[1]), which went very smooth for me. You may need some lib[Something]-dev packages although as well as the usual compilers, autotools etc. If you already have installed development tools compiling from source might be the easier way but YMMV.

Stop apt-get downloading same Packages.gz from different mirrors
Hi List, for up-to-date and for bandwith reasons i have multiple debian mirrors in my sources.list, a close one (which i hope is faster) and the official master (which i believe is updated first): deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free ... deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main ... Now if i do 'dselect update' or 'apt-get update' most of the time i see two 'Packages' files being downloaded, which, if they are what i find in /var/lib/apt/lists, are equal. Is there any possibility or plan to stop this double download? (As you can see i'm running woody, but i wouldn't mind installing some - not too many! - packages from sid).

aty-fb and ati X4-driver - hard choice
Hi all, I have a problem with my textmode-framebuffer and xfree4-ati-driver. I'm running my textmode with 1024x768 resolution with the aty-framebuffer kernel support. This works very fine - as long as my X-Server uses the vesa-server which works nice but prevents me from whatching mpeg's (no xv-support i think).
