kernel compilation in Potato...
Hejka I've reinstalled my Potato (changed partition) and I can't recompile kernel. The output of make manuconfig is: rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/scripts/lxdialog' gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -DCURSES_LOC="" -c -o lxdialog.o lxdialog.c In file included from lxdialog.c:22: dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 I've installed packages kernel-headers-2.2.17 and kernel-source-2.2.17.

I can hang up my potato every time...
Hi It's idiotical, i haven't seen it before. Linux debian 2.2.17 Potato kde 2.0, kdm 2.0-20001004-0 luxman 0.41-11 Celeron 333MHz 64MB RAM, ATI RAGE PRO When I switch to text console (ctrl+alt+Fn), login and start luxman game, the system every time has been hang up!!! I can do nothing (keyboard dead) and can only press reset. When I was using startx instead of graphical login (it's true for gdm/wdm/xdm also), there was no such problem. My mistake or bug? Any ideas? -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~

My first look in GNOME from Potato seems terrible. 1) It's behaviour is like the M$ Windows - it makes changes to system without asking for permition, and sometimes without inform me about those changes! For example automatically change default x-window-manager to icewm-gnome; 2) As a user I can start every gnome application one time - first time only!!! Every try to start any GNOME application later causes starting background this application (don't open it's window, so I can't really use it!); 3) There are two possibilities of using window managers with GNOME - icewm-gnome (starting without problems), and sawmill (gnome) - starts... never (I can choose sawmill from the window managers list in kdm, I've istalled sawmill package, I can start it... but nothing appears); 4) I've asked befoure to intergate WindowMaker with GNOME. The answer indicated it's very easy. I tried and... in GNOME Control Center I can configure only backgraund theme!!! There are no more options possible to configure (nothing in the right window, unactive every buttons). Apart of the fact, after first starting GNOME Control Center I couldn't start it never again... I've unistalled all GNOME packages with purging the configuration. Next install all gnome packages from the Potato distribution. The same like above. I've tried two times to do it - every time the same... I'm starting hate GNOME - it seems unusual... The GNOME in Potato is one big bug or I'm an crazy? best regards -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~
X and iso-8859-2 fonts...
Hi When I've used Slink there was no problem with using iso-8859-2 fonts everywere. A 2 months ago I've installed Potato and until today I cannot force system to use iso-8859-2 fonts in X-window. Most applications give possibility to choose iso-8859-2 fonts, but I can't see them - I can see instead "bushes" or "?" (in KDE). The only applications which uses iso-8859-2 fonts without any problem are Netscape and gnome-terminal. Reasume, the fonts has bin installed in system, but hasnot bin displayed and printed. I've standard Potato instalation, iso-8859-2 fonts from Biznet packages (deb from Potato). There are corretly fonts.dir and fonts.alias files in /etc/X11/fonts/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. There is corretly path to these fonts for font-server. I've locales set to pl_PL (but I've tried en_GB also). Any ideas? best regards -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~~~~~~~~~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~

But really I suppose there is something wrong in Potato about. When I've used Slink there was no problem - I've used startx or xdm/kdem/gdm (no problems). For today: 1) After first installation Potato I've used startx - worked properly. But when I tried xdm - only errors. 2) So I've reinstalled X (first purge old version). During new installation I've choose xdm. And what? For today xdm/kdm/gdm/wdm works properly but I can't start X from console using startx!!! (when kdm is shut down to console mode or with option --:1). In Slink I could start a few X session simoultanously. In Potato - impossible! When I try to use startx I can see: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

GNOME aplications background?
Hi :-) I've take a look at GNOME. During working as a root all is OK. But when I'm simply user many GNOME aplications start running... background! For example, when I start a gnome-terminal or gedit as an user, the aplications never opens their windows. I can see using top/ps they are working but I can't use them! Whats wrong? best regards -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~
WM for GNOME
Hi I have never used GNOME before but I have taken an interest in possibilities of this environment and plane to learn and use GNOME. I very like WindowMaker, but GNOME in Potato uses icewm or sawmil. How can I integrity GNOME and WindowMaker to use it together? best rigards PS. I know it is inside documentation but I'd like for an nice start - there will be a time to study documentation later... ;-) -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~
Re: Gnome
> > I've installed Debian 2.2 with gnome packages, but my default environment > is > > TWM. Do you guys have any idea hot to change that. > > update-alternatives -config x-window-manager > for more do man update-alternatives More clearly (for the newbie and thous who has no time to read ;-): 1) there are in /usr/bin a link named "x-window-manager"; 2) it points to /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager; 3) /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager points to real default x-window-manager. So? The most easy way is remove link /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager and make it once again pointing to our favourite window manager :-))). Example: After instalation Potato my defaults window manager seems icewm-gnome. So, it looks like: /usr/bin/x-window-manager | | point to | /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager | | point to | /usr/bin/X11/icewm-gnome Simply: #cd /etc/alternatives/ /etc/alternatives/# rm x-window-manager /etc/alternatives/#ln -s /usr/bin/X11/fvwm2 x-window-manager After this x-window-manager point to my favourite fvwm2 :-), and for now it's the default window manager. Run startx once again or reset X-server by CTR+ALT+BS best rigards -- ~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~~~~~ ~~/| / | ~Marcin Landowski _| /_| ~ *_|o|___|___|__@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~

In KDE it is possible, using kdm, configure the simple user allow shut down the system.
