Ctrl+Alt+1 not generated in X11, but Ctrl+Alt+[2-9] is
I discovered a bizarre problem with my XFree86 (xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-3): the Ctrl+Alt+1 combo does not seem to be generated. Under "xev" I see an event for the Ctrl key down, Alt key down, but not for the 1... pressing 1 at that point generates no X11 event. Oddly, the other digits in 1's place work fine. I've even tested this by firing up just a plain xterm in .xsession instead of a window manager, and running xev from there. Any hints as to what might be wrong and how to proceed in uncovering the culprit? Can anyone verify that this combo works fine on their Debian setup? (preferably on a setup similar to mine: Debian is setup here on a DELL Inspiron 7000 laptop; even a desktop Pentium II or higher might be still a good point of reference). -- Maciej Kalisiak mac "at" dgp.toronto.edu www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ALSA with AWE64: help
Hi, I've had sound and MIDI working great on my box for the longest time with just the plain, non-alsa sound stuff (the OSS drivers?), and then I installed a package which also required the alsa-base package. Since then I haven't been able to use MIDI, and I suspect the digital audio I get is still using the old drivers, and ALSA is simply busted on my box. So are there any docs somewhere on how to properly install a complete ALSA setup? BTW, I have a AWE64 value sound card (which, again, worked completely prior to alsa-base). I think ALSA is busted here because I get stuff like this on bootup: AWE32: not detected Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 SB 4.16 detected OK (220) or when I finish running alsaconf: Loading driver: Starting ALSA sound driver (version none): no driver installed. Setting the PCM volume to 100% and the Master output volume to 50% The ALSA sound driver was not detected in this system. Could not initialize the mixer, the card was probably not detected correctly. I suspect that I might need to install alsadriver (which is one of the alsa-modules-* debs), but then I can't use the kernel I built myself (which does have AWE and sound support, as it works without ALSA), or rather I'm weary of having apt-get mess around with my kernel bits. -- Maciej Kalisiak [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac

They are different. The way the quick mailcheck works I believe is that, among other things, you check whether modify time > access time. This is because when mail is appended to your spool file, the modify time stamp is updated, but not the access one. The access time stamp is then modified when you actually look at the spool file (with some sort of disk/file "read" operation). -- Maciej Kalisiak [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac
how to grep without changing timestamps?
Hello all, Is it possible to grep a ton of files without modifying their date/timestamps? Currently if I use grep, it changes the access time of all files touched, which causes mutt to lose track of the folders which have new mail (I guess it looks at the timestamp last modified and last accessed to figure this out). Occasionally I do want to include the mail folders in my greps, so bypassing the "mail" directory is not a solution. -- Maciej Kalisiak [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac

Check your /var/log/{messages,syslog,...} for any relevant info on why it's

"ldd `which dictd`" to see whether all the required libraries are there.

It sounds like the disk writes are failing. Most likely cause is running out of hard drive space. Do "df" and watch for any partitions that are 100% full.

You did cvs commit without specifying a filename, or maybe you messed up cvs commit -m and forgot to put a comment. Either way, the system is merrily checking in all your edited files in your favourite library before you were ready to do so. There is a way to undo this, but be warned, it is tedious if numerous files are involved; the idea is to merge the differences between two revisions of a file into a working copy in your directory. The remedy - please note that you need to be ABSOLUTELY sure you type the commands correctly or you will merely compound the problem: * cvs update -j 1.5 -j 1.4 filename.C * cvs commit -m ``Undid previous commit'' filename.C This removes all changes made between revision 1.4 and 1.5 NOTE: 1. The order of the revisions!!! Highest number comes first. 2. If you forget to specify a filename you will be in a worse mess than before - the revision numbers will probably be very different between the various files making up a module and if you don't tell it which file to work on, cvs will do the merge on EVERY file. Not pretty. Probably best to play it safe and do the files one by one (I warned you it was tedious). 3. Remember to cvs commit your changes afterwards - carefully, this time!

dhcp-client trying to configure `lo'(loopback)
I've just recently switched from 'dhcpcd' to 'dhcp-client' (better
configuration, lots of docs). I just installed the package, and edited
'/etc/dhclient.conf' to add a single option (I have to send a "host-name" to
the server). I startup the client, and it configures 'eth0' properly. But I
look at my syslog and it appears that the dhcp-client is also trying to
configure my loopback interface!
Jan 25 12:35:28 khazad-dum dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPDISCOVER on lo to

Jan 25 12:36:22 khazad-dum dhclient-2.2.x: No working leases in persistent
database - sleeping.
[...keeps on going forever...]
Why is it doing such a brain-dead thing like that? I had to edit
/etc/init.d/dhcp-client to add "eth0" to the invokation, but this is probably
not the best solution.
Also noticed that, unlike 'dhcpcd', "/etc/init.d/dhcp-client stop" does
absolutely nothing ('dhcpcd' killed the daemon and brought the interface
down). Is this intentional? I just did "apt-get install dhcp-client" this
morning, so this is the most recent version of the package.

"menu" entries always sorted
I've just discovered the "menu" package. Neato. Don't have to do my own additions all the time anymore. One question though: is it possible to specify the positioning of certain menu entries? I'd like to add an entry to the top level menu where I would have my most often used programs, scripts, etc, and I would like this to be the at the very top. Likewise, I would like to reposition the WindowManagers entry to be the very last one (it's annoying having to dig through the menus to get to the "Exit" entry). Is this doable? I'm using version 2.1.5-3 of "menu", and WindowMaker. One other thing. Is the menu optimization code sufficiently stable? It runs fine for me as superuser, but when run as a normal user it dumps all the Game menu entries into the top-level menu (which then has about 100 entries). Anyhow, kudos to the people responsible for "menu"! -- Maciej Kalisiak | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac [McQ] PGP->finger|www; (0x39AC36F5) 9F BB 9E 11 F0 1E 5D 20 0B 31 3D 37 47 D0 67 C7 GE/CS d- s++:+ a- C++(+++) ULAI++ P+++ L+++ E+++ W++ N- o?

Try the attached Perl script (just put it in a directory that's in your path
and make it executable). To do what you want you just give the following
command in your shell:
$ rename 's{foo-(.)-bar-(..)\.txt}{blah-\1-\2.txt}' *.txt

Re: Who is using up my root partition?

This is a wild shot, and I don't really think so myself, but perhaps this is because of the x% of the disk space that gets reserved, to be used by root only? This is usually 5 or 10% (can't remember) and I thought this was done on a per-partition basis, but perhaps for some reason it calculates 5% of all the linux partitions and reserves that space on the / partition. I doubt it, but... -- Maciej Kalisiak | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac [McQ] PGP->finger|www; (0x39AC36F5) 9F BB 9E 11 F0 1E 5D 20 0B 31 3D 37 47 D0 67 C7 GE/CS d- s++:+ a- C++(+++) ULAI++ P+++ L+++ E+++ W++ N- o?

I suspect they are by default set quite low; too low to be able to support 1024x768 at 60Hz. You should look at the "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" lines in XF86Setup. You should be able to find the appropriate values that go here in any spec sheet for your laptops display, usually in the manuals. Look for a page entitled monitor/display specifications.

Re: Parallel port problem - No printing possible

I think I've ran across this myself before: the problem was that unlike kernel 2.0.x, in 2.2.x the first parallel port, parport0, is mapped to lp1. Try updating your printcap, and see if that helps. -- Maciej Kalisiak | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac [McQ] PGP->finger|www; (0x39AC36F5) 9F BB 9E 11 F0 1E 5D 20 0B 31 3D 37 47 D0 67 C7 GE/CS d- s++:+ a- C++(+++) ULAI++ P+++ L+++ E+++ W++ N- o?
