Lenny upgrade Report
Successfully upgraded to Lenny from stock Etch with desktop task selection yesterday. All went well, except (like the other Lenny report) had a problem with the xserver refusing to start do to an error, and exim4 paniclog being none empty error, which caused things depending on exim4 to be left in an unconfigurable state. It appears that the xserver config was left looking for the ati module, nut apperantly it was replaced by the radeon module. # modprobe radeon # depmod # startx solved that problem. Appaerently with exim4 you must accept the maintainers new config file even if you don't want to. Otherwise it leaves the DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF in the config which causes the error whitch cascades from there. Tried # dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config , to no avail. It could not find the debhelper. Had to purge exim4 which left aptitude wanting to install Xmailer which I did, and then reinstall exim4, which uninstalled Xmailer and brought up the debconf screen for exim4, and alls well now. I followed the release notes and will be submiting my report when I have time. Just wanted to give a quick run down. Would be nice though if the debian-archive-keyring from volitile.debian.org would have been in the release notes. -- Paul Lane |Debian-Etch Like a Rock KC9EYE|GNU/Linux 2.6.26-1-486 |Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Amateur Radio and Linux like Peas and Carrots http://www.qsl.net/kc9eye -- Freedom is the light of all sentient beings.

Re: exim4 authentication in etch?

Poured through the /usr/share/doc/exim4 documentation (also exim4-base and exim4-config) which insist there is a file exim4-conf-localmacros which can be set to modify line 1895 .ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS in the exim4-conf-template file. I have done all sorts of searches for exim4-conf-localmacros without success but there is a directory /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth which contains a dummy file 00_exim4-config_header and a file 30_exim4-config_examples duplicating the relevant section of the exim-conf-template file. If this is what is meant to be a macro I don't know how to use it. I tried brute force - i.e. changing line 1895 to AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true. update-exim4.conf did not like this. Tom Hello, I went through this also as I have Verizon as outgoing smarthost. If you are using the single config file option for creating your template you will have to create the exim4.conf.localmacros file with the line AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true Save it to the /etc/exim4 directory with root permissions and then run update-exim4.conf. -- Paul Lane |Debian-Etch Like a Rock KC9EYE|GNU/Linux 2.6.18-6-486 |Mutt 1.5.13 (2006-08-11) Amateur Radio and Linux like Peas and Carrots http://www.qsl.net/kc9eye -- Freedom is the light of all sentient beings.

Re: Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window

Is it possible to configure nautilus so as to only show the open existed window of one folder rather than to open the second one? Thanks a lot for any suggestion. Cheers, Kejia I am not sure what you mean by spatial window. But I think what your talking about, is that Nautilus is not browsing. Nautilus can be set to browser mode by clicking; Edit\ Prefrences\, selecting the Behavior\ tab and checking the Always open in brower window.
