I am the kde maintainer for debian, and I try to keep the package reasonably up to date, though it's often a bit behind the rpm. Well, after I have read that message from Miguel Figueroa, I´ve downloaded the actual copy of the Debian-kde-packag, but it is the same with my system. kfm, the panel and the window-manager freeze after a very short time (especially when using context menus on the desktop).

Network Audio System problems
Hi all, Finaly I have managed to get XPilot running with sound, recompiling it with the NCD-Sound-option and Network Audio System (NAS) V1.2 P4 (according to the auinfo readout), which is available as Debian-package. Unfortunately NAS does not have a good sound quality, there are always errors when playing sounds -this is definitely NOT related to the sound-files or the sound-card (old 8-bit Creative Labs Soundblaster), because other sound-programs, which does not depend on NAS (i.e. bplay) are able to play these *.wav- and *.au-files without errors. The problem is, that every sound-file ends with an anoying crack -this is consistent for all soundfiles (different sources and different formats) I have tested (either with XPilot or with the auplay-soundplayer included in the NAS package). Does anybody know about this bug or has a sollution for it? (Yes, I have read the XPilot/NAS-man-pages, the Sound/Sound-Play-HOWTO´s, but still have no clue). -- Bye, Marc Saric Visit http://www.rat.de/marc_saric/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Books on Debian
W Paul Mills wrote: My start with Debian came about 6 months ago. I found dselect and the rest of the packaging system confusing. Frustrating at that time was man pages that said they were not up to date - read the docs. The doc files also said they were not up to date - read the man pages. Now that was very circular and not at all helpful. Someone totally new to linux would probably be even more confused. Often those new to linux do not even know how to find and view the documentation. A book would make a nice security blanket :-) I think that is a good point -I have started using Debian (after a unsuccessfull try with an old german S.U.S.E.-distribution) aprox. 1 month ago -there are still many essential thing, which I don´t undertand and which are not working by now. One of the first problems I solved was how to get some orientation in the widespread -filesystem tree and how to use man-pages, HOWTO´s and readme-files. A good basic book about the concepts of (Debian)-Linux is very helpfull during the first time -when I am an experienced user, I will maybe think, that this was useless, but from today´s point of view, I can only underline what you have said. -- Bye, Marc Saric Visit http://www.rat.de/marc_saric/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

XTerm-color
Hi all, I would like to know what is going wrong with my setup for the Xterm: I put the following lines in my Xresources-file (in /etc/X11) #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif but nothing happened, when I start an xterm, it is still b/w. I am using Debian 1.2.4 from the Cheapbytes CD with a 16 bpp S3-X-Server. -- Bye, Marc Saric Visit http://www.rat.de/marc_saric/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

XPilot-package and sound
Hi, I don´t know if the maintainer of the Xpilot-package is reading this mailing-list, but if so, he/she might be able to answer my little question: After trying to get the sound-thingy running with XPilot, I failes to do so, and I´m asking myself if there is sound-support at all compiled into the Debian-version of Xpilot. Otherwise someone might give me a hint (or are you playing Quake all the time :-)) Thanks in advance! -- Bye, Marc Saric Visit http://www.rat.de/marc_saric -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

xpilot.deb and Sound
Hi All, I have a question concerning the xpilot-package in Debian 1.2.4 (Cheapbytes Debian Release 1.2). I don´t understand the ins and outs of sound support with this game: I have a recompiled kernel with Soundblaster-support running (and it works perfectly with other programs like bplay, maelstrom, the afterstep-audio module and so on). The question is: Does it have sound support as described in the man-page, or is this special version compiled without sound-support (or do I need a special sound server, which I might have forgotten (the X-pilot-FAQ says something about a rplayd -I´m not shure if I have this program).

Installation problems
Hi everybody, I have downloaded Debian Linux 1.2.9 from ftp.uni-mainz.de, but failed to get it installed on my machine. Reasons: First, the dselect-setup asks me for a /local/binary-i386-path and package-list. But there isn´t such a subdirectory (or a symbolic link to another dir), or more exactly, there isn´t such a subdir containing a packages-list (plain-text or .gz). I can go on when I simply ignore this message (by typing none), but the program fails to install the selected packages stating some error message about a not-found dir or file. It is likely that something went wrong during download, or that I have overseen the mentioned /local-packages, but I don´t know exactly. Any help appreciated! -- Bye, Marc Saric Visit http://www.rat.de/marc_saric/index.htm -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
