New small user manual for linux newbies made :-)

2007-08-12 Thread Niels Larsen
A small beginners minihowto about various linux programs is made:

Among others: kmail, bittorrent, ksirc, gimp, gparted, scrapbook, freenet, 
kde-setup, kubuntu install and some others.

The idea is to get newbies started using linux immediately, with the most 
elementary things.

Has taken me a long time, to learn linux.

The address is http://www.minihowto.org

I am an old man of some 66 years of age.

This manual is supplementary to all the other documentation, which is out 
there on the Internet etc.  :-)

No, sorry, I am not flushing the queue?

How do you flush the queue, and where are the mail messages in the queue
placed?

Thanks in advance? :-)

Thanks :-)

Here is a short abstract from my exim4 log:

If necessary, how -and where do I correct this in the exim4 config file?
To me, there seems to be a lot of exim4 config files?  

Anybody who knows, thanks in advance?

mixmaster mails sent, but not received by recipient

2007-02-19 Thread Niels Larsen
I am using debian etch (testing) and mixmaster 3.0b2-3

When sending mails with mixmaster, the mails never reach their destination 
mail address.

I first run mixmaster-update --verbose, and then mixmaster.

Everything looks perfect, and the mails seem to be sent.

I have even tried sending from debian sarge, but same result.

Any clues?  :-)

Fwd: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

2006-03-29 Thread Niels Larsen
I am using debian sarge.

When I try to run: "sudo synaptic" I get the below warning.

(synaptic:4338): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I have to my ~/.bash_profile file added following, according to advice from
some mailing list, but it does not help:

if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]]; then
export DISPLAY=:0.0
fi

And I ran: "sources ~/.bash_profile" right after

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance  :-)

*
I added to the sudoers file from a suggestion the following line:

Defaults   env_reset, env_keep = DISPLAY

And it works fine, thanks.  :-)

***

By the  way, how do one reply to a thread in the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list?

*smiling*

I am a newbie, so please do explain a little bit in detail, as I find linux 
enormous with commands, and possibly do give a small example *smile*
Not only what to do, but also how to do  *humour - smile*
Many times I find examples better than "long" explanations?
