Re: Replacement for Dillo web browser
On Thursday 12 February 2009 19:25:50 Marc Shapiro wrote: Is there a light-weight browser that does not have a huge list of dependencies? I had been using dillo for things like reading html documentation and other light-weight tasks, but then I upgraded to Lenny. Dillo is not available in Lenny. It is still in Etch and in Sid, but not Lenny. I do NOT use KDE, or GNOME and so am not interested in browsers like Konqueror, which would require many KDE packages to be installed. I spent a lot of time eliminating all traces of KDE from my machine, since artsd kept messing with my audio, so I have no desire to bring it all back in. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro...@yahoo.com Kazehakase: http://packages.debian.org/testing/web/kazehakase It is capable of using either Webkit or Gecko as the rendering engine, but only the Gecko version has been built for Lenny. Obviously, it's heavier (and far more functional) than Dillo. For the tasks you mention, it might be better to use something like links2. Or build Dillo.

The latter is the situation people are trying to prevent when they suggest off-topic posting is fine for a little while, but does need to be nipped in the bud at times. Big +1. I subscribe to a few mailing lists, a few newsgroups, and idle in a number of irc channels. A lot of people mistakenly think it's okay to take these resources off-topic when things are slow, but I have to say: it's much easier to participate actively in a group conversation when the background noise is low. It may *seem* harmless, but in fact prolonged off-topic stuff endangers the relevance of the resource, because it just dramatically increases the chances that I right-click on the list's folder and select Mark all as read.

How does the terminal run in update-manager? Wouldn't it be the other way around? What dialogue isn't working? What do you mean by readline?

This is done, iirc, by running iptables-restore target-file That can be done in /etc/network/interfaces, but there is a particular syntax which escapes me at the moment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Also, try Mibbit if you haven't yet. Well yeah, web-based IRC works but I'd like to avoid it since I monitor so many channels and have accounts on four IRC networks. I'd be a pain to spend a whole two minutes logging into everything. I've read about ezbounce, but I'd need a computer between my own and the IRC server to use it, right? Or could I host it locally for the same effect? My point was just that some irc networks offer non-default ports - partly just for the security of client software, since non-standard ports make some exploits a lot less efficient. Whether this will apply to your networks, or whether or not doing this will violate the terms of your residency at this dorm, is something only you can find out for certain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Not Charging But On AC Power

If the number has gone up, the battery is charging correctly, and the problem is the way the graphical interface is reporting the battery state.

Does anyone know how to mount the new G phone on a linux system as a drive? Mitchell I connect to mine by running pmount /dev/sdb1 -- so far this has worked, with several MicroSD cards installed in the G1. There doesn't seem to be anything special about G1's USB connection, so my guess is that the problem lies with the PC rather than with the phone. Testing it on another machine (even a Windows or OS X box) would probably be in order. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
